and J. F. Fruchte. These meetings will begin at seven o’clock, and should be well attended. NONE IN OURS Now honestly do the American jieople. after more than a century of endeavor, want to give way to the whims and caprices of Theodore Roosevelt. He is unstable and erratic. He is not satisfied unless he is making trouble or doing something to cause comment. He is trying to apply to public affairs the s>rinciples of “ the strenuous life. ” Ainer.ca is a peaceful country, its citizens are peace-loving. We have had our troubles and have been able to take care of ourselves. The world knows that we have the power and resources to do everything necessary to protect the interests of American citizens, whether of a personal or business character. No foreign government will assail us. What this country should do is to attend to its own business Neither the “big stick” or the "chip on the shoulder policy is necessary to our national welfare Mr. Roosevelt is the representative of the war spirt. We do not need wars. We do not want wars. There is no reason why we should have wars. No one man's ambition to go thundering down the ages in school histories or in any other Kind of histories should be allowed to change the policy which has made this country great in the true sens*-. We do not believe that there has been such deterioration in the American character as will lead to the election to the presidency by popular vote, of a man like Theodore Roosevelt, ft is inconceivable. The (fact should be apparent to all that he is little less than a political adventurer. He has abandoned everything for which he contended before the Jpresdlency came nnex pectedly info view. What the country needs just now is to serve on Mr. Roosevelt an emphatic "notice to quit.”

C. A. Windle, one of the best of democratic sjieasers, at the court room Friday evening, October 7th. Col. Bryan's first sjieech in Indiana will be at Indianajiolis. October Uth It is expected that some thirty speeches will be delivered in Indiana by this greatest of al) great democrats. Indiana will soon be the storm center for national politics. Speakers of national character will speak in all corners of the state, and much life will be given the imjwrtant issues of the campaign.

Friday Horseback riding was the most important part of the program, . some very skillful and daring feats were performed by Miss Nona. I Benj. Meshberger and family returned home Friday from Oklahoma. They report ns to having seen some very nice country. Benjamin says he will trade his farm for one ‘ in the west.but it will have to be | a farm of 2,000 acres, as there is no place like Adams county. Undoubtedly the largest crowd ' and the best time ever had at band ’ concert was las’ Friday evening, it being the last concert for this season. and nice moon light night, it ■ appeared as though everybodv had come out to hear the boys, and es-

■ pecially the new selections recently comjtosed by the leader, Mr 1 Heller. It was pronounced fine by everybody who heard it. When the band played the last selection, God Be With You Till We Meet Again," it apjieared as though everybody took a long breath, regretting that this was the last. Washington City, by < >ral V. Hoffman. Having now seen the bomb of the author of one of the most popular and patriotic melodies of Amercia, my next place to visit was the zoological park .which lies or rather rolls and tumbles northwest of the city, and is reached by electric cars. It is a very rolling piece of ground, having many large hills and deep valleys. There is 167 acres in this 1 tract and it was only established in ; 1889, and is in a rude state, but' with lots of time and money will be 1 one of the finest parks, as it is I owned by the government, and : what they have done is done well, I but like all other governments is slow, as all money spent on this is raised by congress. The purpose of this park is to collect and pre- , serve our wild animals of every specie, and to provide entertain- , ment for the public, which is surely a treat to the people ’in the city after a weeks' work In an office, to spend ’a’day this b-rntiful place

| watching the white swans as they glide along on the small streams that flow down from the hillside. There is also many other animals that are kept in their native state, as can be had. Those that require a high altitude are fcept on some large barren hill, while others are kept in the valley or swamp. Although a greater part of this is in a rude and wild state, and as one walks down the steep hills across brooks aniijpursoes a winding path around another still larger hill with wildemes on one side of them and a beautiful flower garden on the other side, they are not allowed to pluck a flower or leaf or limb or bnsh, as it is against the rules to take anything from this park (except a drink of cold sparkling water). One may see wild and tame deer and fawns running lose in a thick woods, wild bnflalo can be see on a hill top, while down in the ravine are beavers, otters, sea lions, seals. Every animal is situated in a place adapted to its nature, as the white bears are given a place side of some large hill where there are large trees that shade his and cold water can run through the den or a home that is blasted out of a huge stone as large as a bank barn." It i also amusing to see the monkeys as they trot too and fro, playing their tricks; birds of every description are kept among

them the Amercan eag ie; and par- I rots and birds of every description to be seen and heard in the lofty ’ trees singing their sweet songs. Birds of the most beautiful feathers. including every specie of the ostrich, with their beautiful plumes are given a space in this park on a sandy plain. Nobody is allowed to teed any of these animals or birds. ‘ Occasionally there is a notice on the cages that you may feed thesranimals fruit, but nothing more But there is no ordinance against feeding peanuts to the There is also a large collection of wild animals from Asia. Africa, etc., as the lions, tigers and others too numerous to mention. Jincluding those on the Philippine Is ands and all foreign countries, the most important and largest being a Phf. ippine ox or a gjtecie of th 1 A-n?-:- | can buffalo. There is a large <v.’ lection of every kind of annn*. aad birds to be seen , and they are a looking tine, as they are g.vea tlbe best of attention and care and are . much nicer than those to be seeu at a show, as these have large cages with lots of room, and are oerer molested, but are allowed to ream at will.
