The Sells-Floto show, which highly colored lithographs had for somo time heralded as the greatest, show on earth, arrived in the citv on Bchcdule time last Friday morning. There were two sec tions of the train carrying the wagons and various equipment of the show. The parade started at 10:30 and it was one of the best ever given in the city. After the parade the crowd assembled at the show grounds and proceeded to enjoy "circus day." Mingling with tho cries of the vendors of red lemonade, souvenir whips, crackcrjack, etc., could bo heard the stentorian tones of the side show barkers calling attention to the wild man, the strong woman, and other curiosities varied and wonderful. The show proper is deserving of patron age, and especially worthy of notice is the trapeze and wire work. Mr. Chad Wertz, one of the trapeze performers, and incidentally one of the best in the business, is a Nebraska boy, his home town being Lincoln.

The game of ball at tbe home park last Sunday between the Alliance team and a picked up nine drew a fair sized crowd and was full of fun so far as comical plays and stunts were concern ed, but to call it a ball game would be a misnbrrter of the national sport. Tbe score was 16 to 5 in favor of the best team, of course. "Muggins" and Pedro acted as battery for the scrubs while Steele and Freer held down their op ponents to 5 runs. The next game will be played here next Sunday with the Maywood team, which hails from Furnas county and comes with the reputation that they are invincible. Well, that being the case, we may look lor a lively stunt as the Alliance team is in that same class and perhaps this time they will have a game worthy their mettle. Mort Smith of Bridgeport was in the city yesterday to confer with the local base ball management for the purpose of forming a series of games between Sterling, Bridgeport, Sidney and Al liance. This would make an interest ing feature. The compact will be com pleted and the dates for the games an nounced later. Install Officers. The newly elected officers of Alliance Lodge No. 183, A.

Everything thnttyear (Queen Victo ria's Jubilee year)' was dubbed "Jubi lee," from knights and babies to hats and coats. "God Save the Queen" was hoard nd nauscnm on every conceiva ble oecaslou until the tune became an obsession. This led to a practical Joko at tho custle which caused much amusement One morning, speaking of the jubilee craze, I pretended that I had received as an advertisement a "Jubilee bustle," which would play "God Save the Queen" when tho wear er bat down. This, of course, created much curiosity and laughter. Having promised to put It on, I took my hts info my confidence. An nld-de-camp was pressed into the service and armed with a small musical bos was inado to hide under a particular armchair. While the company was nt luncheon I retired to don the bo called "Jubilee wonder," and when they were all as sembled I marched in solemnly and slowly sat down on the armchair where the poor ald-do-camp waB hiding his cramped limbs. To the delight and astonishment of every one tho national anthem was heard gently tinkling forth. Every time I rose It stopped; every time I sat down it began again. I Btlll laugh when I think of it and of the astonished faces about me. "Rem iniscences of Lady Randolph Church ill" In Century. A GREAT STATESMAN. Humorous Incident of Gladstone's Rl- valry With Disraeli. An anecdote of Gladstone at the time of his greatest rivalry with Disraeli Is often retold. At a dinner party the subject of Judaism cropped up. "Admitted," said Gladstone, "that the Hebrews have given tho world a philosopher In Spinoza, musicians In Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer, u poet in Heine, the fact remains that they have not produced a single statesman." There was silence for a moment. Ev ery oue knew of courso that this was a direct allusion to Disraeli. Then one of the company stepped Into the breach. "Mr. Gladstone," he said, "as a mat ter of fact tho Hebrews have produced a statesman and one of the greatest tho world has seen." Tho fighting instinct of Mr. Glad stone surged up at once. "May I ask, sir," he said pointedly, "who was this nebrpw statesman?" Every one, anticipating a more than lively scene, waited In tense expecta tion for tho answer. It came in tbe quietest tones, "Moses, sir." Every one smiled, and Mr. Gladstone joined In tbe laugh.
