Alter the performance of the circus yesterday afternoon tho spectators were treated with a grand balloon as- cension and parachute leap. It was a most successful ascension, and was pronounced by many the best part of the circus.

The prize winner now is "Wurl Bros." famous 5-cent cigar, which has no equal on the market.

On Monday he attended a circus at Weeping Water, including John Leyda's side show, on Tuesday he attended the Hummel circus and yesterday arrived in town to attend the circus again. We placed him in charge of the religious editor who saw that no ill befell hira while he was in town. Blackberry Jim will visit no more circuses he got so "hot" yesterday when ho thought of tho flim-flam game played on him at tho side show, that be concluded not to tako in the circus at all. Ho took his family home nd amused the little folks by spreading a quilt out on the lawn, where he "skun a few cats," turned somersaults and hand-springs for their enjoyment. II had a good time, tho childien were entertained and Jim was not confi- denccd out of any money. The crowd of suckers who tried to make money rn the imjiossiblo shell game which has been exposed time and again, was quite largo here. .Be side those mentioned yesterday. Sam Parker lost $25, and seven or eight others were heavy losers. The man who gets beat at any sort of a gamb ling device gotten up for the sole pur pose of stealing his money is not de serving of much sympathy. The game is built to beat the public, and if it did cot work, it would not be played, and again in a gambling game, the man who wins is no worse in the eye of the law than the man who loses. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Wilt Meet la Ixu)vllle On Mondjr, Aug ust 23. Weeping Water. Neb., Aug. 6, 4:30 p, m. (Special to Tub News.)

Colemak HOME -TALENT ENTERTAINMENT; A Prisoner of War" to lie Presented By .FIiHsmoath s Talent. Arrangements are now being com pleted for the roost novel entertain ment tbat this city or any other city in Nebraska has ever had the oppor tunity of witnessing. Some years ago a number of prominent New York ers aeretd to tfive a benefit to the actors' fund of New York. On account of the heat it whs feared the attend ance wou'd bo very slim. The project was about to be given up, when it dawned on them that this objection could be overcome by giving it out of doors and selecting a play suitable to outdoor presentation. Shakespeare's beautiful comedy. "As You Like It," was finally con sidered the most fitting bill, aud was produced on Staten Island in the pres ence of more than 2,000 spectators. This performance has been followed by many more of a like character throughout the eastern states. The idea has never been tried here, but in tho course of a couple of weeks Platts mouth talent U inaugurate this style of ontertainment in Nebraska by tho presentation of the mo3t succssful war drama of the 6tage, "A Prisoner Of War." This pieco is "particularly -suited to outdoor presentation, being full of ac tion and diarr-ttic situations. Tho performance will bo given by our best local lalont, directed by a orofestdon al actor and stage director, Mr. Charles Nelson, who, it will bo re membered, was hero as staye mana ger of tho Madison Square Comedy Co., early this season. Mr. Nelson has, since leaving the company, been engaged in work simi lar to what is contemplated here, and has staged successful productions in Nebraska City, Weepiny Water and other towns in Nebraska. Ho has a thorough knowUdge of the details necessary for the wo k. and with the able co-opera'ion of on- local a list will undoubted y m ike th.ir oat-door performance the event f the -tisiiu. We will announco i iu earl o' the pi iy and further par ieuia- in !! near future. A Cordial F;ir-e". The members of the Get m tit F. auca verein No. 1 and a f.-w other friet ds of M s. J. V. Egenhcrtrer, jr., were splendidly entertained at that lady's home in this city yesterday afternoon. The special reason for the gather ing was a formal good-bye extended by friends to Mrs. Egenberger, who will leave soon for her fut jre home in S ill Lake City, where her husband has a good position. The homo was beautifully decorated with flowers gifts from her friends and guests. A nice luncheon was served, and Mrs. Egenbergor proved a charming hostess, and her many friends will miss her kindly resence and gracious manner. The guests were Messdames Wm Hassler, II. Spies, A. II. Weckbach, Wm. Weber, Ed Sta nm, J. V. Egen berger, sr., M. Soennichsen, Phil Thierolf, Fred Goos. Ed Heitzhausen, J. Lindtman, Joe Droege, Joe Fetzar, Chris Wohlarth, II. Hertz, C. Kunlz man, John Mumm, H. Kliotsch, C. Kohnke, L. Brinckman and Miss Eidmann. How It Was. Two reasons why the democrats wanted the office of -oroiior: First They were afraid that if the "pops" elected coronor that ho would sit on the corpse of tho democratic party. Second The "pops" got treasurer which is tho head of the ticket and coronor which is the tail of tho ticket, and it would look as though tho demo cratswho got about all that goes be tween these two offices, were swal lowed. Hence they wished the tail of tho ticket, so as to have a convenient hole to crawl out of. Italliird'K Ilorehonnd Syrup is tho ono romedy for Throat and Lung Troubles that cures the right way.

S." in last night's issue of The News, regarding the old flag of Company A, First Ne braska Volunteer. It implies a doubt of .riffht to keep it in my posession. It has been in our family since the close of the war, having been presented to my husband by those in authority for saving it from the euemy, and carry ing it during the rest of the battle after the color bearer had been 6hot down. When the regiment was mus tered out, the flag was given to Mr. Weils, as being the 1 ist color bearer. and there has never been a doubt raised as to our right to keep it. When I can think that the public has a better right to the old flag than I have, I shall undoubtedly put it in the rausoum, but until then I think I have a perfect right to keep it in my own possession and consider it a sa cred relic which 'my late husband prized too highly to place in the hands of the public Very Respect fully, Mrs. Wm. L. Wells. The Shell Game. The oldtime worn shell game, which always goes with a circus, was on in all its glory today,to the sorrow of several farmers who ran against it. Most of them' refused, to tell their names, after they were bitten, but we learn that a man named Carroll lost $5, a Mr. Bates $20, while Wm. Fer guson lost $5 and a gold watch. The rumor that Amos Burtnott - had lost $40 is denied. Several others wore touched, and the sheriff was kept busy trying to keep people from losing their money. Special Low IlAtes On the M. P.
