Ringling Bros. circus will give after
noon and night performances at st.

The famous showmen are this
season presenting an all new and
wonderful program. The tremendous
fairyland spectacle, "Cindereilan
will appear to Doth young and
old. More than 1000 persons take
part in it. 1t is easily the biggest
spectacle Ringling Bros. have ever
staged and its glorious "Ballet of the
Fairies," with 900 dancing girls, is in
Itself worth going many miles to see.
Following "Cinderalla" 400 arenic
artists appear in the main tent pro-
gram. Because of the great European
war the Ringlings have secured scores
of circus performers never before
seen in America. An entire trained

II the people of ST. Louis want to
reduce their taxes by lowering their
assessed valuation they have the right
to do SO, and we think they should.
Something should be done to abate
the extravaganza of the St. Louis Re-
publican machine. But this does not
afford any reason for increasing the
taxes on Missouri farms. 1t is cost
ing twice as much to govern the city
of st. Louis as it costs to govern the
entire State of Missouri. st. Louis is
Republican city, and If those people
want their money wasted by incom-
petent public officials, that is their
business. But the people OF Missouri
do not take kindly to substituting, in
their State government, Republican
extravaganza and incompetency for
Democratic economy aud efficiency.

Gets Mail by Wire.

L. S. Maddox last week installed a
patent mail box that brings the mail
from the road to the house by the
turning of a crank. 1t is $3.50 feet
from his house to the post, and there
is 20 per cent curve in the carrier
wire, but the box comes right home
with but little exertion. Mr.. Maddox
has figured that within the course of
q year he saves travelling 312 miles to
and from the road for mail. He is
highly pleased with the outfit. The
box Is arranged on wire and Is
drawn to and sent from the house by a
crank with but little exertion. When
the mail is put in the box the mail
carrier gives it shove which in
dicates at the house that the mail is
in the box, Perryville Republican.
