WHOOP 'Eli UP, BOYS !
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.

An Excellent Show.
Pawueo Bill's Wild West show pitched
its tents on the Kastslde flats, Thursday,
and all day the grounds were swarmed
with eager spectators. 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.

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.
