The Jolia Robinson greatest of
all American shows, which now
constitute the largest combined
circus and hippodro: iu ihe Uni
ted States, will exhibit in North
Platte Friday, May 20th, tor two
performances only.
This great event will be signal
ized by the longest and most re
splendent procession ever seen upon
the streets of this city. Not only
will there be more elephants., more
open dens of performing wild
beasts and more beautiiuuv com
parisoned high-bred horses
exhibi-
ted free upon the public
thorough-
fares, but there will also be hun
dreds of new and novel features
such as no other show could afford
to exhibit, and each of which con
stitutes a separate and distinct at
traction. The massive dens, cages,
and lairs, as well as the great
Swiss carved and beautifully ornate
tableaux cars, have never been
equalled in size, brilliancy and ar
tistic finish, while the costuming
of silk, velvet and cloth of gold sug
gests a scene from a magnificent
operatic spectacle rather than a
street parade presented free to the
public as a mere introduction to
the wonders of the performance in
the mammoth canvas pavillions.
Jad hc performance is worth of
more than passing mention. Those
who have witnessed the exhibi
tions of this famous old show this
season combine in awarding it the
palm of superiority over all compet
itors. It is a feature show from
beginning to end. The marvelous
performance presented by Louis
Cyr, the Canadian giant of strength
is alone worth coming many miles
to see. Mr. Cyr is, without com
parison, the strongest rnan who
pver lived, and his feats of strength
aqd endurance are sq retnarrable as
to almost surpass belief. Among
the other star features are the fa
mous Harvey Family of acrobats,
the Brothers LaRole, the greatest
otall aerial artists; the Miller fam
ily, maVvelously expert bicyclists;
a dozen famous male and. female
riders, a superb-menagerie, an un
rivaled hippodrome and the best
all around performance that has
ever been seen in this country.

The Cody Guards Sale and Kearty.
John E. Evans returned from
Iincoln Wednesday Sight and says
that he left all the-North Platte
boys In splendid .liealth and spir
its. None of them are at all home
sick and their physical comfort is
well looked after. The last few
days in. camp were cold and rainy.
but none of Company E had suf
tered any ill effects from the bad
weather.
The work
oi rnusiennT in com
r
menced Wednesday. The first com
pany.to be examined and mustered
in was Company A of the. First reg
iment. As thccompanies are to be
taken in their order, Mr. Evans
thinks that Company E will not
be examined before next Monday,
as tue surgeons can only examine
1L.. -. .
about 200 men a day. The presen
officers of the guards will all be re
tained in the volunteers with the
same rank except where they fai
to pass the physical examination.
I hat arraneremetft- oleases the
guards very much, as they were
teartul that their officers might be
changed.
The guards will be moved -to
Fort Omaha as soon as the work of
mustering in is accomplished.
That will probably be finished by
the middle of next week. The fu
ture of the guards after reaching
Fort Omaha is uncertain, but it is
thought that if they arc sent out of
the state it will either be to Wash
ington or Richmond. Nothing cer
tain of their future is known either
by the men or their officers.
company IS is hard at work all
the time drilling and looking after
camp duties. The various captains
have been ordered to recrui,t their
companies to seventy-nine men. If
there is any one desirous of enlist
ing in Company E by writing at
once to. Captain H. O. Evans they
will be furnished transportation to
incoln and will be taken into the
company if they pass the physical
examination.
Mr. Evans says that Major
Scharman is making a fine record
tie nas me oest voice or any maior
n camp and all his work is very
effective.
Engineers' May Party.
The Engineer's May Party given
at the opera house Tuesday even
ing was a decided social , success.
rheconcert oegan soon after eiglit
o'clock. The music was all ex

About nine o'clock the request was
made "Take partners for thegrand
march". In a very short time forty
four couples were gathered on the
floor. The march was led by Mr.

all the ladies were dressed in light
gowns with bright ribbons and
flowers the scene, as viewed from
the gallery, was a lovely one.
From the grand march till about
three o'clock, when the last dance
was danced, the floor was well
filled with dancers although not so
many as usually attend a.Mayparty.
The hall was very prettily dec
orated with the national colors,
and scores of flags, among them
being several Cuban flags. The
reception committee "and other com
mittees worked faithfully and the
welfare of every one who attended
the party was well looked after.
The May party was certainly one
of the most enjoyable social events
that has occurred in North Platte
for a long time.

the armored ships under Admiral
Sampson with those under Commodore
Schley at a point in tho ocean previous'
ly agreed' upon, and that the Scouts are
to report' to them there the location and
direction of the Spanish ships. It is

of the scouting vessels.
Pcrsonii who were with the president

hootl that; Porto Rico will be in the
hands of, the United States within 48

01GAHIZIIG THE IEW AEMY.
President mhA Secretary Alcer Giving Xt
Their Attentloa.
1 Washixgtox, May 5. Now that the
formation of the volunteer army and
the recmitiag of tho regular army to
its full war strength is fairly nader
way, the preaWeat and Secretary Alger
are giving some attention to the ques
lion oi meir sutxnvision into cornet
divisions, brigades, etc Several plana
.
cave been mapped out, bat it is said
, none have been finally decided upon.
ml . m -
xne nomination oi a number oi major
and brigadier generals, however, will
hasten the completion of this work.
The law for the formation of the vol
unteer army leaves it discretionary to
ii i .
me president wnecner three or more
regiments shall constitute a brigade,
also as to whether two or three divk
ions shall constitute a corps. Those
questions determined upon finally, the
assignment of the major and brigadier
generals will be fixed.
General Miles approves the formation
of seven corps in all, two in the regular
army, and five in the volunteer army.
In other quarters it has been suggested
that the voluntiers be divided into
three corps. A major general com
mands either a corps or a division so
that the plan determined upon will
provide for a sufficient number of these
to give places to the officers of higher
grado. Tho volunteer army act also
makes provision for a complete staff
for the commanders of corps, divisions
and brigades who are to be appointed
by the president and confirmed by the
senate.

Chicago, May 5. Armour's glue fac
tory, Thirty-first and Benson streets,
was in danger of being burned for half.
an hour yesterday afternoon. The
flames were checked with the des true
tion of the felt works and curled hair
building, entailing a loss of probably
$2.r0,000 without reaching the ammonia
plant or glue works, both of which,
were in great danger. A panic among
the 100 employes of the felt works,
where the fire originated, reunited in a
dozen persons jumping out of the sec
ond story windows, some being badly
bruised, but none were seriously m
jured- August Meleski, a boy who
broke a leg, was most unfortunate. The
building was 26a by B0 feet and was
completely destroyed. The origin of
the fire is not known.
Gladstone Steadily Declines. 525
London, May 5. The Daily Chron
icle says: Mr. Gladstone's strength
steadily declines, though there is, we
believe, no prospect of an immediate
end. The disease has not gained force
enough to overcome the wonderful
Btreugth of his constitution, but a nat
ural weakness now supervenes and
gains on him, encouraged by Mr. Glad
stone's fervent desire for the rest
which ho so richly has earned. He is
now confined to his room. Now and
again his mind reverts to critical per
iods in his career and to the legislation
which' cosii'e -rftest amxiety, but.
the mam thing that nils his thoughts is
religion, and he speaks of death as his
call.
