John Robinson's ever popular and ever welcome shows come to us this year with such important accessions and argumentations as to over shadow all contemporary amusement ventures. They have uot only materially strength ened their ring and hippodrome per formances and largely added to their already vast menagerie, but are produc ing an adtonishing new feature, which can but commend itself to all classes of patrons. We allude to the grand bibli cal ipectical of "Solomon, his temple and the Queen of Sheba." Unerring in historical accuracy, faithful in scenic delineation, realistic in depiction of inci dents and events, impressively grand in pageantic effects, magnificent in cos tumes and appointments, entrancing in musical features. Switching in beauti ful ballets and exciting in games and chariot races, this unprecedently su blime spectacle will commend itself to every visitor. The show will exhibit at Butler, Friday, May 30. * Another Circus Coming in speaking of the Rice, Cooper & O'Brien shows to be at Butler next- Tuesday and Wednesday May 27 and 28. It has been said in organizing this exhibition for the tenting season the management has been prompted with a desire to present to the public patronage a show that would have both the characteristics of novelty and intrinsic excellence, Thero has been too great a similarity of exhibitions under canvas, and amusement* patrons have been called upon to pay for that which they have seen so many times before. The constant repetition has become wearisome and monotonous, the same stale jokes of the clown and the same general circus. From all this Rice. Cooper & O'Brien have made an entirely new departure. It is not onr purpose to enumerate our , large and varied company and attrac tions in this card. Visit this show. induced Kates to l*ortlau<l. On account of the National Conven tion.

We agreed before he left this country to use a certain cypher code should we desire to communicate with one another and we each had a copy of the Code. Well, after Gil had been gone about a month and I had forgotten all about him I received a cablegram from him which read, "Send me two musi cians." What in the dnce does Gil want with 'musicians' thought I. Per baps be is figuring on starting a show for the natives of Africa, but after awhile I thought of our agreement with reference to cypher codes, and on re ferring to the copy I had at home I found, a 'musician was one thousand dollars, and Gil wanted two. Well 1 just sent him the following cablegram "No musicians on hand, will a bas? drummer do." "Bnt" he added, "Be fore the snn set beneath the Western horizon that day, 'Gil' who was thous ands of miles from an acquaintance or a friend, got the two "Musicians." Teachers' Examinations.

The acme of scenic splendor was reached when John Robinson produced the great spectacle of Solomon, his tem ple and the Queen of Sheba. No court was greater in all that per tained to magnificence than Solomon's and as historically reproduced with dozens of calcium and Vari-colored lights on the brilliant costumes and scintillating armor, it has received un stinted praise from all who have been fortunate enough to witness the grand spectacle. The circus has been characterized as the most interesting in its unexception al features and in the general excellence of its ring performances. The menag erie is large and comprehensive and in cludes living specimens of the rarest beasts, birds, reptiles and amphibi.
