Prohibition Meetlag.Olln J. Ross addressed a Prohibition

meeting at Berryville on Monday night.There were about thirty-fiv- e or forty

pers ons present, one-thir- d of whom wereunder age. The remainder, with the

of four or five, were Democrats.This was at the beginning. Before

the speech was concluded morethan one-ha- lf of the audience bad left.His speech was a senseless tirade againstthe Republican party, and he succeededremarkably well in disgusting bis audi-

ence with himself and the Prohibitionparty. There will be two Prohibition-vote- s

as usual in Washington township.On his road home the orator met a

man on foot, and gallantly turning bisbuggy, invited him to step in. The mandid so. Olln remarked: "I've beendown here making a speech." No an-

swer. "I've been down here making aspeech." (Louder.) No answer; "I'vebeen down here making a Prohibitiontpeech." Still no answer. Then Olinchanged his tactics. "Was you there 7"No answer. " Wat you there t" sso answer. "Wat you there V HUU no an-

swer. "Was you thbbe?" Receivingno answer Olin continued : "Not manyout," A pause. "Not many out," he re-

peated. Receiving no answer he remarked in a tone that rivalled that in whichhis highest flights ot oratory bad beenconcluded : "Say, mister, von can't hearvery well, can you 7" Still receiving noanswer Olin evidently concluded it wasa sad case and ceased to talk. (He wouldhave saved his credit and pleased hisaudience if he had come to this conclu-

sion three hours before.)At the cross-ioad- s his companion, who

was a deaf and dumb man living in theneighborhood, fudged him in the aideand got out. As he disappeared in thedarkness Olin J. was heard to remark :

"By George, I had a hard time gettingintroduced to the audience and a hardertime getting acquainted afterward, butthat fellow is the worst of all. I wonderwhom he'll vote for for Prosecutor,"

Again it becomes the painful duty ofthe writer to record the death of anotherof Hillsboro'a young men. On Thurs-day morning last, after an illness ofabout two weeks, Charles Reckleybreathed his last. Charlie was bornNovember 3rd, 1862, and was an honesthard-worki- young man. He was atinner by trade, and the junior memberof the firm of Brown & Reckley. Hismother and favorite sister, Miss Daisy,are visiting relatives across the ocean,and his death will be to them a greatblow, as it to his sisters living here.The funeral services took place" fromthe house of his brother-in-la- Mr.John W.

Attempted Blackautll.On last Saturday morning a notorious

street-walk- by the name of LouisaBarnes appeared before Judge Meekand' filed an affidavit charging Mr; E. E.Richards, of the Hillsboro Schools, withbastardy.

It is seldom we comment on mattersof this nature, but in this case the at-

tempt to blackmail and extort moneyfrom Mr. Richards is so apparent that itdeserves public notice.

Other persons have been approachedby this same creature, charged with thesame offence, and it seems sho has forsome time been drifting about to findsome bno who waa able, and on accountof position, might respond with money.The School Board here understands thesituation and Mr. Richards will remainin his position. The good citiaens ofthe community and the teachers of thecounty will join with us in asking a sus-pension of opinion till matters are fullyinvestigated.

t t tA very beautiful and impressive part

of Charley Reckly's funeral was the fullturnout of the fire department, of whichhe was a member. The procession washeaded by the engine heavily draped,and then followed the hoso reel, whichwas drawn by members of the companywearing white gloves. Mr. Reckly wasalso a member of the A. O. U.W.

The library room is surelyone of the handsomest rooms in townand one of tho coziest reading rooms ofthe country. The trustees deserve greatcredit for the beautiful and attractiveroom they have made for the public, andall see it for themselves. On account oftho repairs Mr. Duffey has not been giv-

All the schools opened last week withthe exception of the Institute, which be-

gins its first annual session Avisit to the Union Schools revealed thefact that Prof. Major had already effect-ed a systematic organization, and everyone was assigned his place and "downto business." The professor has an ablecorps of teachers, and the new superin-tendent "stands not upon the order ofhis going, but has gone at once" thoroughly into the work, and has infuseda spirit of industry and enthusiasm intothe school from the start.

The College opened up with a goodlynumber ot students and, as all know, anexcellent corps of inatrdftora. This in-

stitution is now arranged that one cantake most any course that is taught inour foremost schools, and it is no longernecessary to go away from home to ob-

tain a classical education.The Conservatory speaks for itself,

and the Institute is well known as aninstitution of refinement and politelearning. What an Athena of cultureand learning is the Model City I Eventhe atmosphere has a classical perfumeand the streets are paved with the classical remains of foeslliferous formationsof prehistoric times.

SELLS BROTHERS EN ROUTE!

Tho Famous Trio in the Field thisTear With a Strikingly Novel

Exhibition!

Already the people hereabouts aro onthe tip-to-e of expectancy over tho forth-coming visit of Sells Brothers' EnormousUnited Shows, which exhibits in Hills-boro, Saturday, Sept. 24th. Probablythe approach of no other tented exhibi-tion has ever attracted such widespreadinterest in this vicinity as have the an-

nouncements of this engagement. SellsBrothers' star is high in the ascendantthis season. Never before in the historyof tented amusements has a managementmet with such dazzling and sweepingsuccess as has marked the tour of theMessrs. Sells the present summer. Theshow is said to be a revelation in everydepartment. Money has been expendedwith a lavish hand to augment and per-fect this exhibition to a point never at-

tained by a contemporary, and the mag-nificent patronage that is being accordedit is a fitting tributo to the managerialsagacity of its famous proprietors. Witha laudable ambition to surpass all effortshitherto made in arenic displays, theMessrs. Sells have secured the most em-inent of living bareback riders, gymnicmarvels, acrobatic meteors, wire walkers,vaulters and vaudeville stars.

some ol tne special attractions are acompany of Arabian soldiers and acrobats, Prince Misako's Japanese circus,and Alexander McGregor's troupe ofScotch athletes, who appear in a seriesof remarkable athletic games and broadsword combats on horseback. Otherfeatures of the "circus proper" are themarvelous performance of the giganticherd of elephants, including the laughable act of "Sid," the almost humanelephantine clown ; aud the exhibitionof educated stallions, ponies, zebras,donkeys and pigs. Twenty high priestsof Momus will participate in a clown'scongress. A recent acquisition of thisestablishment is an imposing reproduct-ion of the classic Roman hippodrome,with all its vivid and startling effects.Some sixty fleet-foote- d thoroughbredequines appear in the series of races.Another notable novelty is Pawnee Bill'sgreat "Wild West" show, comprising 100celebrated scouts, cowboys, rifle andpistol experts, Indians and vaqueros.The "Wild WeBt," and hippodrome racesare given on an immense race track thatencircles the three rings and the stage.The menagerie, Indian village and mu-seum, (and ethnological congress, alsopossess exceptional merit That theMessra. Sells will meet with an ovationhere can be set down as a certainty.
