in this place, bringing a menagerie anj circus of unexcelled proportions, variety and excellence, on its own special trains, it being altogether too big a thing in the animal and arenic way to be transported on wagons. The entire press of every city and town where it has exhibited unite in emphatically pronouncing it entirely unequalled in many special features, and unexcelled in All, while the elegance of the performances and ihe excellence ot its management is equally praised. The papers make mention of the unusual fact that every feature announced is honorably presented, and what those remarkable attractions are may be partly gathered in the following after notice by that influential and candid journal, the Oil City Daily Derrick: "Sells Brothers' Seven Elephant Ra ilroad Show gave two exhibitions here yesterday, to immense audiences. The street parade in the morning was the best ever witnessed here, a:.d the line of the procession was crowded with people, who admired and laughed at the wonderful and comical features of the turnout. Everything was shown as advertised, including the seven elephants, and some extras thrown in- A gigantic black bear on top ot one of the tableau cars was 1 ecognized as a friend and a brother by his namesakes in the Oil Exchange, and greeted with approving howls as he passed. An elephant on a car drawn bv it drove of camels was another suikirg Mature of the parade. The tent show was first class in every re-pect. In the menagerie was perhaps the tiuest collection of animals on the voad, embracing rare specimens of birds and beasts, in excellent condition, and presenting afar different appearance from the jaded and mangy beasts in many socalled menageries. The ring performance showed many artists of more than common dexterity and strength, the leaping, tumbling and trapeze acts being especially noteworthy. Willis Cobb's performing dogs were "wonderfully trained. The clowns were funny without being vulgar, and the audience generally testified their appreciation ir. hearty applause.

the first meeting was for the purpose of "cutting and drying," but then of course it isn't.

AGRICULTURAL.

The Vigo County Agricultural Society met on Saturday afternoon at the office of Mr. Harvey D. Scott. The committee on special premiums made a favorable report.

It was decided to employ Mrs. Light, the aeronaut, to make an ascension on the third day of the fair.

Mrs. Light will use her large balloon, which holas twenty thousand cubic feet of gas, and will carry three persons.

A prize of

$75.00

was offered to the

best drilled military company in Vigo County. This is intended to bring out the Light and Governor's Guards in friendly competition.

The companies are approaching each other so nearly that the drill will be very exciting. The weather will then be much cooler and and an excellent drill can be had.

The following is the programme for the fair which will last through the week:

A MARE'S NEST.

Trom the Indianapolis Sentinel. The aid of the associated press was in voked yesterday to distribute the startling information front Terr# Haute that that wonderful sheet, the Express, presided over by Major O.J. Smith, had made a discovery. Later, a special tr^in brought tothis city the entire edition of the paper, numbering some eighty three copies, when an alleged fraud, in all is hideousness, was laid bare. The Express asserts that ot} the vote taken upon the passage of the state house bill,.March 1,

A word in this connection in regard to the animus of the Express will show the utter fiimsiness ot the canard and the motives which actuate its editor. The paper is the pretended organ of the workingmen. It clamors constantly for labor for the starving poor, and, as is reported in Terre Haute, pays its employes in depreciated orders on second clao* grocery stores. It howls without ceasing for more money to do the business of the country, and yet when a moiety of that which can be collected witho.i' being felt i9 to be put in circulation in payment for honest labor it proceeds to th.ow slime. All this in view of the fact that the state house commissioners have resolved that all material for the new state house is to be purchased within the boulors of the state. There is even strong probability that the stone to be used will be quarried in the congressional district where the Express is published, and iron establishments in its own city may receive a portion of the benefit. It is not a question as to whether th state house shall be built that gnaws into the cranium ot the editor of the Express, but a question as to how far he can use this hobby to ride into a little political prominence at the next session of the legislature.

"the

returns'' as made by the clerk were "doctored," and publishes a pretended fac simile as furnishing proof positive. The substance of the matter is about as follows: Several votes were taken upon the passage of the bill, the measure failing on account of the lack of the constitutional majority, fifty-one votss h» irg required. During the contest there er• always several absentees or "dod er." but when the matter came upon its fin '1 •v.'ssage, March

10.

the vote

wasfittv-i^r1 to forty, two more than the constiu.:.wnal majority and a clear majority of thirteen.

The basis of the bugaboo of the Ex press is contained in cards signed by W. A. Conley, then representative from Vigo, and John Dannattell, member from Vanderburg. who claim that had their votes been properly recorded, a tie would have resulted March 1, thus defeating the state house appropriation. With regard to the former it is only necessary to state the pretended fac simile of the Express gives the vote of Conley in the negative, and that is probably answer enough. Mr. Dannettell is asserted not to have voted at all, while his vote is said to be recorded in the affirmative. He states that he was not here March 1, but there may be a woeful lack of memory. It must be recollected that votes on the measure were taken time and again, and how he can remember this particular date is at least a little curious. The scat of the Vanderburg member was so often vacant that he frequently had to be introduced to his compeers upon his rereturn, and this sudden discovery of a memory in this particular case discounts Edison.
