"ONK MORK UNFORTUNATE."—Melissa Burns, a woman of the town, died on Thursday morning, at a house, on the corner of Third and Walnut, kept by "Sal Mlllpr," from an overdose of morphine. While it is supjxtsed that she took the poison of her own accord, there is a suspicion that it may have been administered by another frail sister named "Cal Mllson."

THE ClllOAUO SHOW. There are no bad circuses. Sotno circuses are better than others, but they are all good. Old men never lose their love fbr them. They had*too much fun for their hard-earned "quar ters" when they were boys, to forget the fun-maker. The boys of to-day aro just like their fathers and grandfathers were, and they yearn for every circus that comes within their reach. So the grandfathers and fathers and aona are still and forever drous patrons, and the little children ory for circus nutriment. Circuses therefore have a pretty sure thing on the present and future generations, and appear to be a joy forever, like any other thing of beauty. On Monday, the 9th of June, we aro promised an altogether exceptionally good canvas show, and may imagine, but cinnot compute the interest it will create. It includes a museum, a menagerie, and a full grown circus, and a baby circus, and un air-ship, in its native element, and also crowds of interested spectators, as good as a circus. Thp Great Chicago Show has been at St. Louis all of thiH week, and 0f it the Democrat of that city says

Both exhibitions yesterday were very largely attended, and in theeveening the capacity of the huge pavillion was fully tested. The popular verdict remains unchanged. Every one says it is the best circus ever seen in these parts. Tbe riding is a special featnre of the show, and a noteworthy fact in this connection is that the riders discard all pads on their horses and ride, in reality, barebacked. "Cinderella" is very prettily acted. The children are gorgeously costumed and make a fine appearance. The rope walking is thrillingly interesting. The cannon ball performance, bv Mr. Wm. Sparkj^ almost revives one's youthful faith tbe mythical feats of strength accredited to* Hercules. Grace of actiyT is hardly expected in connection/with great muscular power, yet theneavy iron globes are handled as gracefully, and with as much apparent ease by Mr. Sparks, as a toy ball in thebaadsofa young girl. Leopold and Geralfline do their feats on the trapeze with much ease and coolness as though th^y were on the ground, instead of forty feet up in the air, where a miss means death. The feats of equestrianism\ by the Stokes family ana James Robingon and his sons are elegant and of t^e most superior character. This is sfahow where one can go and sit all tbe afternoon and never get weary. This ing the company gives another

street pageant.

That's what does it. -More business is now done on 4th street than was done on Main street ten years ago.

DECORATION DAY

AN IMMENSE ASSEMBLAGE.

VAST OUTPOURING OF THE PEOPLE.

The Largest Gathering Ever Seen Here.

Appropriate Honor* to tbs Heroic Dead.

[From tki morning'* Express.! Decoration Day dawned beautifully, and throughout the day there waa a clear sky, a cool breeze and every essential on the part of nature to promote the fit observance of all the rites and ceremonies of the interesting occasion. At nine o'clock the people from the country commenced to arrive and were soon in town in immense numbers. They passed the forenoon in looking about the city at various objects of interest, prominent among which were the displays made by Wilson Bros. & Hunlcy, Kel»enheld & Jauriet,Mossler Brothers, \V. H. Sage—S. C. Scott, John Moore and a few others, threw out their bunting. Flags were also displayed on the Normal School and other public buildings. All the people seemed determined to recognise the day as the most censpicuous in all the year, as the occasion to be celebrated above every other. Never has there been seen in this city such a universal moving of the masses by simultaneous impulse

Soon after half-past twelve Marshal F. C. Crawford and assistants Shillito and Price commenced to form the procession on Seventh and Ohio streets. It was a difficult task to organize the varied heterogeneous material, but it was lished with the least possible dehe procession when organized was in the following order

Police, headed by Chief. Breining's Band. Officers of the Day, Poet and Orators in carriages.

City Council and invited guests, in carriages. Wagons with five hundred school children, caifying flowers.

Toutejp Band. on foot. lodges of Odd Fellows in the full ranks. tizens in carriages, T"*1, Citizens on foot. Shortly after two o'clock the immec.ce procession commenced to move, passing from Seventh street down Main Btreet west to Third street, filing to the right and moving north on Third street to the City Cemetery, where the children,— beautiful girls, arrayed in holiday attire and carrying baskets of flowers arranged in bouquets and wreathe—alighted from the wagons and marched into the enclosure. They were soon assembled about the graves of the Union soldiers, and, at a signal from the band, they commenced to deposit their floral offerings on the lowly mouHds beneath which lie the remains of the Heroes of the War of the Rebellion.

At the conclusion of this impressive rite, the girls formed in proceasion, headed by Breining's Band, and marched to Early's grove. An immense crowd, the largest ever amembled in thin county on any occasion, had met there. A stand had been erected for the officers, speakers and invited guests. Raised seats had also been erected for five hundred school children who were to sing^ under direction of Professor W. H. Paige. The girls were placed on the raised seats, the band played an appropriate air and the programme was about to be commenced when it was discovered that the joists supporting the seats had turned and there was imminent danger that the entire structure would fall. For a few moments a panic'was threatened, but by vigorous efforts on the part of a few persons who seemed to possess the requisite degree of coolness and self-possession, fears were allayed and the half thousand children were removed to terra-firma with no serious results. Two or three girls were slightly injured. One fainted and was carried off the grounds. Professor Paige rallied as many of the children as possible, formed them beside the stand, and thev sang all that was "nominated in the bond." Their singing was the most delightful feature of the whole occasion, reflecting the greatest credit on Protestor Paige and hiB pupils. The exorcises at the stand, were as follows:

PART FIMfr.J
