If communications of general interest and signed by the writer are handed to us, wo will send them along with our news, and the owner and editor of the paper will do with them as lie sees fit. A GREAT AMUSEMENT EN TERPRISE CONDUCTED ON A LARGE SCALE. There is no branch of the amuse ment or show business that lias made such strides in the past five years as the circus business. The four corners of the earth have been searched to find novelties for Howe,s Great London Shows. This show not only plays the greatest number of acts both American and Europ ean, but the most expensive and im portant act brought to New York from all over the world come direct ly under contract to Mr. Ilowe in sel ecting acts for this great show. Mr. Ilowe has practically every act in the entire world from which to chose in making up the list of artists which would appear with Ilowe,s Great London show*. How well he has chosen is proven by the furore this show has created in every large city and town it has shown in, and nothing more fully illustrates ad vance of this form of amusement than the appearance of Howe’s Great Loudon Shows and Sauger’s Royal Menagerie Will positively exhibitat Loup City’ May 21. rain or shine. If you need wail paper, room mouldings, curtains, carpets or any thing in the line of interior decorat ions come and get my samples and price* on same. Pictures enlarged of half tho nfiiial nviarta f ^ vtitit THE EXPANSION OF RUSSIA. Nothing Stops the Progress of the Giant of the North. The progress of Russia is like tho spreading of ink over blotting paper. There is no natural barrier in Persia to throw her back or head her off, such as the mountainous frontier of India, But the prospect of Russian absorption of Persia is not practical politics to-day. Neither is it practical politics nor healthy patriotism to hound on Great Britain to occupy, finance, protect or claim rights in every country which lies upon her road to India or Africa or America or tho South Seas. Such a policy is mere ly suicidal. We can barely govern efficiently our present possessions. Fresh large responsibilities in Persia, in China and ultimately in Turkey would simply weigh us down to the gunwale and finally sink us.—London Chronicle. FAD OF A FAMOUS JACKDAW. Bird Took Trips on Buses and Gave His Foes a Tongue Lashing. The Brixton jackdaw, which was found dead recently in the bar of the Angell Arms at Brixton, London, was a great celebrity in his own way. All Jackdaws have fads of their own, and the favorite fad of this particular bird was to travel all over Ixmdon on omni buses, trains and cabs. He was thor oughly well known to every ’busman i in the Brixton district; he used to take his seat on a bus beside the driver, and would chatter most volu bly till the journey to the city or else where was accomplished, when ho wnould fly back to his Brixton home. He was a bird of strorg likes and dis likes, and when any of his master's customers failed to find favor in his sight he would assail them with the most embarrassing flow of language. Kite-Flying Thief. Jorgendro Chandra Das, a young man, flew a kite so as to get it en tangled among chimney pots at Cal cutta, India, and helped himself to tho contents of upper chambers w'hile climbing to recover it. Constables seized him while he hung from a win dow-sill and found his pockets full of booty. I_ Must Have Been Hot Stftff. A New York surgeon cut a patient open, inserted a silver swallowing ar rangement and gave him a drink of whisky all in twenty minutes. The next day that surgeon’s office was be sieged with men who had twenty min utes to spare and wanted to be simi larly .treated. Minister Bowen’s Wife. Mrs. Bowen, wife of our minister to Venezuela, talks very entertainingly of the Venezuelans, whom she do scribes as models of domestic virtue. Many are also very beautiful, but they go out very little in public, being of Spanish descent. Mrs. Bowen, who Is slight in figure and of girlish man ners, was a Miss Clegg of Galveston, Tex. She is fond of pets, and among the unusual ones entertained at the legation in Caracas are several par rots, a fine peacock and some monkeys which are allowed to roam at will in the garden. IRA T.
