Two of the circus clowns, one disguised as an unsophisticated country jay, were doing the stale trick of Inter fering with the regular peiforunauoe, and when the jay was chased over the bench es by bis colleague he accidentally or willfully tossed the Poorbaugh lad, who occupied one of the top benches, over the canvas, thereby breaking bis collar bone and causing him to suffer other less se rious injuries.

Jacob Lichty, of Morrill, Kansas, was tbe owner of a trainload of fine cattle sold on these yards to-day at fo 80 per cwt, says the Daily Telegram, of Kan sss City, of August 9th. The consign ment consisted of 19 cars, containing 33S bead of steers. They averaged 1,410 lbs. and were sold to tbe Armour Packing Company. The cattle were dehorned and were purchased last October, when tbey averaged UU lbs. and cost $.1.88 per cwt. Mr. Lichty put them on full feed about November I, on shelled corn and hay. They gained 501 lbs. from the time they were bought until soid here to-day. This big shipment reached Kansas City last night on a special train profusely decorated wilh banners.

Owjng to the inability of Messrs.

Under tbe terms of the contract as signed by tbe contractors and by tbe Burgess and Secretary of Council tbe work will be begun not later than April 15 next and will be completed on or before August L 1900. It is a matter of sincere regret tbat the proposed work could not have been carried to comple tion this fall, but it appears that all of the factories engaged in tbe manufacture of the quality of aewer pipe specified by Engineer Haring are overcrowded with orders, and none of them were willing to enter idvu wusm -ut-rj tblstirse. I Tkoataais Altsai Us Circa. One of the largest crowds ever as sembled under a canvas tent in this town witnessed the performance given Friday afternoon by John Robinson's circus. , Captain Wilson, the press agent of the show, estimated the crowd in attendance at 7.0C3, and he w as not far short of the mark. Several thousand persons who ) were attracted to town by tbe circus, I Kit failed to attend tbe exhibition, helped to swell the crowd on tbe streets during tbe morning. The circus was three or four honrs late In arriving here, and as a re sult tbe canvas and benches were not in position at the regular hour for admitting spectators, snd the doors were not opened until two o'clock. Meanwhile the thous ands who were clamoring for admission were compelled to stand under a broiling hot suu for more than an hour, and when their patience was about exhausted tbey were allowed to enter the menagerie tent. Here tbey sweltered and sweated for another half-hour before they were admitted to the circus tent proper. Not withstanding the great suffering and in convenience they were forced to endure, the crowd made a rush for the benches and in a remarkably short time every seat provided for spectators as occupied and several hundred persons were com pelled to stand or squat ou tbe ground surrounding the three rings. Tbe circus performance was good throughout and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large crowd. There was an entire absence of vulgarity under the main tent, but the officers of tbe law were very lax in their duty or indifferent to what was going on in the side-show, where the exhibition was grossly immoral, other wise that part of the entertainment would have been compelled to close down. In addition to the immoral and depraved performance in the side-show, gambling was openly indulged in under the same canvas, as a number of young men, and a few of maturer years, who were skinned out of their hard earnings, have reason to remember. The "shell game" man did a profitable business on tbe road in front of tbe show grounds, without being interfered with by officers of tbe law. Held for Court. Lawrence Grosch and his sons-in-law Aaron Seese and Daniel Yonkers of Paint township, were given a prelimi nary heating before Justice Sell at Wind ber, Wednesday, on a chrrge of aggra vated assault and battery, Adam Yost, a brother-in-law of Grosch, being the prosecutor. Yost alleged that on the night of July 7th, while on his way borne from Scalp Level, Seese and Yonkers kuocked him off bis horse and gave him a severe tast ing, and tbat Grosch stood In his field and "hissed the boys on him." On examination Mr. Yost said that he had been drinking beer aud whisky tbat day and "stopped iu 'Squire Luther's office to get law against Grosch," but it was denied him by the magistrate. Mr. Yost swore that he heard Grosch yelling for tbe boys to get at bim. but Mr. Grosch proved be was at home when the racket occurred. Yost said he was assaulted at 9 o'clock at night. Yonkers and Seese claim they are not the parties who did it, but 'Squire Sell refused to allow the defendants to be sworn, and beld them to answer the charge at the next term of court. Is it Malaria or Alum 1 (Popular Science Monthly.) Languor, loss of appetite, indigestion and often feverishnesa are the common symptoms of a physiological cor ditiou termed "malaria." AH these symptoms may be aud frequently are the effect of the use of alum baking powders In food making. There is uo question about the poisonous effect of alum upon tbesystein. It obstructs digestion, prostrates the nerves, coagulates and devitalizes the blood. .Ml this has been made clear, thanks to physicians, boards of health, and fool commissions. So " highly inju rious to the health of the community" does the eminent head of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Barker, consider the alum baking powders, that he says "their sale should be prohibited by law." Under these circumstances it is worth the while of every housewife to employ the very little care that is necessary to keep so dangerous an element from the food of her family. A pure cream of tartar baking powder, which i the only kind tbat should- be used, ought to cost about forty-five to fifty cents a pound. Therefore, if you are paying much less, something is wrong; if you are paying twenty-five cents or less per pound, the powder is certainly made from alum. Always bear these simple facts in mind when purchasing baking powder. Samuel's Church Pieaie. No lover of innocent enjoy meut and wholesome fun should fail toatteudtbe picnic to be given by tbe ladies of tbe congregation of Samnel'a Church, about two and one-half miles west of town, on Saturday, August 20th. Tbe annual pic nic at Samuel's is always one of the most elaborate and enjoyable q the year, and the coming one will be no exception to the rule. In addition to tables groaning with all aorta of good cheer for tbe inner man, there will be a feast of reason and a flow of soul as well. The choir, which is oue of the best church choirs iu Somer set county, will render a number of choice selections of vocal music prepared specially for tbe occasion, and addresses will be delivered by a number of well known speakers. There will also be recitations by several young ladies and gentlemen. Mr. E. F. Stahl will recite an original poem composed expressly for the occasion. Among the speakers will be Dr. Francis Henry Wade, who needs no introduction to the people of Somerset county, who have so often beard him with profit and pleasure. Dr. Wade's addresses are models of mingled elo quence and humor, aud no lover of good oratory should miss this opportunity of hearing bim.' Master Levi Wade, Dr. Wade's six-year-old son, will also be heard in a recitation. Tbe present indi cations are tbat tbe crowd in attendance w'ill be the largest seen at any picnic in this vicinity during tbe present summer. Co. Another Big Coal Purekaie. The Berwind -White Coal Company is buying from four thousand five hundred to five thousand acres of coal lands front some thirty prominent farmers in Cone? maugh township. The deal has been in progress for soTie time, says tbe Johns town Tribune, and part of the sellers have received their mouey from the coal company, while others are expected to transfer their properties to tbe corpora tion within the next sixty days.

Honor Belongs to Tealk Begiment OfEeer. The thrilling episode of Colonel Fun slou sm imming tbe Mariloa River under heavy iusurgeut fire dwindles very per ceptibly under the cold statement of fact made by Lieutenant Richard Coulter, jr., of Company I, who was present. Lieu utenant Coulter is a big, modest fellow, and it was like pulling teeth to drag from him a brief, plain statement of tbe epi sode which has been commented upon so much, says a staff correspondent of tbe Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette. Finally he said : "All this discussion about conflict between Colonel Funstou and my self was news to me when I land ed here. There was not tbe slightest disagreement between us. The Kansas regiment and Company I of tbe Tenth, under Mtjor Bell, were on one side of the Mariloa River and tbe insurgents were entrenched ou the opposite side. "The Filipino who had not escaped were obliged to remain behind the treuches, as we kept up a fire in front and the Utah battery was planted so that its rapid-fire guns cutoff retreat. When we came up to the river Musician John Campbell aud Private Israel Ruff strip ped to-the skiu and swam across, a dis tance of from SO lo 100 yards, for a boat which was moored to the other side. "There were a good many shots fired while they were in the water, but they came mostly from our men, who were protecting the swimnfers. The men reached the other side safely and brought bicktbeloat. I happened to be the only officer there at tbe time, and as tbe Fili pinos bad hoisted the white flag I went across and received the surrender.
