Make Shenandoah tlio Attractive l'oint For the Fourth. THE COMMITTEE WORKING. Business Moil Should Seo tho Advuut nco of a Grand Celebration It Will Draw Thousands of People to Town. The finance committee of tlie Joint com mittee will start out at once to collect con tributions to tho Fourth of July fund. The committee expect citizens to contribute liberally as quite a sum will bo required to carry out the plans they have In view to make tho Fourth the greatest and grandest ever seen In Shenandoah. Tills town has an opportunity to present attractions which othor towns proposing to celebrate hare not thought of, and if our citizens will provide the menus, the com mittees promise to do the rest. Every dol lar contributed will be devoted to the ob jects and purposes of the celebration. Every dollar given will be a good Invest ment and every resident of 'Shenandoah who desires to havo the town stand at tho head iu its attractions, to iuduco the resi dents of the town to spend the glorious Fourth here, should not be niggardly in his contributions. Ho should not make the old worn-out excuse of hard times, but give freely and liberally. The coming cele bration Is In the hands of reputable citi zens who have no object In view other than to make it a grand and glorious success. Upon the amount contributed depends altogether whether or not certain features, which will eclipse all other attractions iu the neighboring towns, will be accom plished. If tho committee can carry out their proposed plans, there Is not another town in tho region which proposes to celo brato this year, which will have anything like tho attractions Shenandoah will pre sent, either in originality, beauty or mag' nlflcence. The committee does not believe it wise or prudont to "give away' the many and varied attractions they have in hand, but with the necessary means provided a pro gram will be presented iu due time which will astonish and delight every man woman and child in Shenandoah. When the finance committee calls on you, give twice as much as you intended to and you will not regret it. It it. not at all unlikely that some of our neighboring towns may after all decide to join with Shenandoah and participate in making the day especially glorious. There are already hints given out that a big cele brationon a grand scale is 100 per cent, more gratifying in every way than a miser able, miserly affair which is forgotten as soon as over. Steps are being taken to crystalize these rumors Into reality, and it would not be altogether surprising if, in our parade, there were entire divisions entirely devoted to towns which had concluded to join iu with us to celebrate the great national holiday of the year. Perhaps the coming celebra tion will bo one of constant surprises. The various committees are actively at work. All are imbued with great enthus iasm and zeal. Everything is working harmoniously to a geueral, grand and good result, and it would teem thatforoncoa public enterprise was going ahead smoothly and without any bickering or backbiting.

Both afternoon and evening performances were largely at tended, aud all were thoroughly pleased with the exhibition. All the different phases of frontier life were portrayed in a realistic and thrilling manner, and for an exhibition of its kind it is the best that ever visited Warren. Tho daring riding and feats of horsemanship exhibited by Indians, cowboys aud Mexicans, was of a high order, and filled the hearts of all with admiration. The boomerang throwing by tho Australian bushmen was a novel feature and deserving of special commen dation. Iu short the entire performance from start to finish was excellent, aud held tho closest attention of the large audiences. Warren, Pa., Mirror. At Shenandoah, July 4th.

GUTTING DOWN THE STS Chief lltirBoss Burnt Shoots a Bl Dob That lilt a Hoy Isaac Connick Danuorously Injured iu n "Woxtorn Mine. Among tho Shenandoah cases tried at tho Pottsville court yesterday was one in which Mrs. D. J. Doyle appeared as prosecutrix and Michael Kauo was de fendant. The charge was that Kane had assaulted Mrs. Doyle's son, Thomas. The boy alleges that Kane hit him and knocked him down. Several witnesses were called for the prosecution. Kane, in his. own behalf swore, that he had bieu employed to watch the ruins of the receut big fire and prevent people from stealing remnants from the ruins. He ordered young Doylo from the place sev eral times and finally took hold of his arm to walk him away. Doylo broke the hold nnd, in running, tripped over some obstruction and fell. The boy then arose and filed a stone at Kane, at the same time using foul language. Kane produced witnesses to substantiate his version of the affair, but before M. M. Burke, Esq., counsel for the defendant, concluded his case Judge Savidge directed tho jury to render a verdict of not guilty, which was done. The court left the ques tion of costs to the Jury and they were put on the county, hut before filially disposing of the case Judge Savidge called for the hill of costs aud struck off the fees and mileage of all the witnesses for the prose cution except those of Mr. G, W. Hyde, thus reducing the amount to be sustained by the county to a minimum. Presents at Holderman's. Shot tlio Don.
