In view of the somewhat unusual
state of affairs existing in our local re
ligious world it has occurred to the pre
siding elder of this strictly official and
religious journal that a union people's
church would be about the proper caper
at this juncture. Under such auspices
a creditable church could be built and
paid for without being too burdensome
to the community. Such a pulpit could
3e ably supplied and the expenses of
the entire establishment could be met
} y local purses. There is material
available for a robust , self-supporting ,
effective gospel church in McCook.
These comparatively feeble forces , in
their present divided state , can be made
a power by such union. At least so
thinks this preacher. What think ye ,
good people ?

THE FAIR.
As this is the last issue of your paper ,
belore the beginningof our fair , I desire

a number of entries have been made al
ready , and everything points to a suc
cess. The grounds and buildings will
be put in as good shape as time and
a limited amount of money will permit.

Walter L Main's Circus.
Evening Star , Steubeitville 0. , Apr. 29.1892.
The Walter L. Main's circus showed
to a full house last evening , the mam
moth tent being packed with people.
We do not exaggerate when we say the
show was equal to that of any circus
performance ever given here and a
great deal better than the majority of
them. Every feature introduced was
of that character which stamps it as
first-class upon first appearance. The
performance was given in three rings
and at times there were other features
going on outside of them. The aerial
feats were daring and skillfully perform
ed as were many other acts of daring.
The Roman Hippodrome part of the en
tertainment was not only interesting
but exciting. It consists of chariot rac
es , barrel and obstacle races , Roman
standing races , cowboy and pony races ,
lady riders and many other features too
numerous to mention. There wern
plenty of horses and no show can have
finer ones , while the menagerie was a
splendid exhibit of the animal king
dom. It was also a noticeable feature
that there were no fakes. nor robbing
schemes permitted on the groonds , while
the entire show was clear cut ind of a
high standard throughout. Everything
going to make up the show is entirely
new , while the performers were selected

Brazil ( Ind , ) Times , May 31,1892.
Walter L. Main's circus here yester
day drew a large crowd. The affair
was much larger than expected and was
meritorous throughout. There was a
pleasurable absence of fakers , tough
characters , three-card monte men and
such dangerous nuisances that usually
congregate around a circus. The per

A dangerous silver couuterfeit quar
ter of the "vintage" of 1892 has made
its'appearance. The com is in imita
tion of one made at the Orleans mint
this year , and the only difference is
that the eagle , etc. , on the reverse side
is a little to clearly outlined. The
weights of the two coins , the genuine
and the spurious , are the same. The
only flaw is in the ring of the coin
when it is dropped. "It is the most
dangerous counterfeit I have come
across in all my experience , " said a
business man. "Its face is absolutely
perfect and the reverse is nearly so :
the weight is just right and so is the
size. In fact the only flaw is in the
ring and the milling is slightly defec
tive. "
