Ottawa, Feb. 9. im. l'lTKH KGAN.
"Twas an evening In the winter
Anil the ground with snow wan w hite.
And the merry slrigliliells tinkled.
While the moon shed out her light,
That a traveler cold and weary
Stepping from a railroad car
taught upon the air a fragrance
Wafted to htm from afar.
In an Instant all his sorrow,
All his aches ami pains and rhills
Vanished, as he cried in gladness
"Now my heart with gladness thrills;
am main to drink t'lark'a Cofteea,
Kor I know their odor well.
And some enterprising merchant
Has Clark's famous goods to sell.
Down the street with happy footstep.
And his face grown full of Joy,
On he went to trace that frairrance
That he might his thirst alloy.
When at last he found the merchant
In his neat and well stocked store,
Down he sat ami told a story
Which had oft been told before,
Told the story of a people
Id a city of the west,
Where laud flows with milk and honey,
Aud w hose tastes are all the best.
They who have the finest coffee
That the world has ever known
And appreciate the blessings
Which this wondroUB drluk has Bowl.
1mg he spoke, and yet his heirers
Sat in wonder while he told
Of the merits of the coffee
Which that happy merchant sold;
Ttll at last so Ailed with gladness
Was that happy merchant there.
That he cried, "Oh, friendly stranger.
Long I'll sell this drink so rare.'
"Bert of coffees, how I sell It,
fcnch deniand I've never known.
And such perfect satisfaction
From Its use has ever grow n."
So the traveler worn anil weary
Found at last sweet rest from care.
And the story of Clark's Coffee
Wins hlni kindness everywhere.
We would ask yon, gentle reader.
Do you want to nse the best ?
Do you think that old, stale coffi
fakes a drink which brings you rest?
Do not ose stale package coffee.
Do not buy tHair gisxla, or old;
Buy Clark's Freshly-Koasted Coffee
iilaUneaa then will ne'er grow old.

sonuMe, and buyers ran get all beuetlts of

good of all kinds, enrpets, boots and shoes,
and dry goods, these reductions are made,

Tho Ottawa Homo Improvement Associa
tlon meets on Friday evening of uext week.
There should bo a full attendance of all inter
ested. Many city improvements have boon
accomplished through the inspiration furn
ished by the association, but much remains
to bo done. Among tho most noticeable im.
provemcnis are those made at the cemetery
west of tho city. The banks leading to the
river have been cleared of brush and weeds,
until an unobstructed view can bo obtained at
any point; shade trees have been trimmed
and the gross cut, so that the cemetery now
has a presentable appearance. The assoclu
tion hopes by another year to make improve
inente, both at the cemetery and elsewhere,
still more marked.

A meeting of the Old Settlers' Association
was lucid at the Court House on Saturday last

the factory, getting out work for the new
asylum buildings at Rankukec.
The Nine Cent Store are evidently determ-
ined to catch the people with bargains. One
cent for ladies' hose that are worth ten will
insure a big crowd on Monday morning.
Amusements.
S. H. Barrett A Co.'s circus on Tuesday
drew large crowds, as circuses always do.
The animal part of the show was as good as
the average, and the circus considerably bet
ter. It was one of the genuine old fashioned
kind, even to the clowns. With one ring, aud
i great many interesting und daring perform
ances, the audience enjoyed the show hugely.
MIN9TRILS.
On Tuesday evening next, June 10th, Leon
& Cushman's Minstrel Company occupy the
Opera House. This seems to lie the first sign
eparture from the oldjnld rut of minstrel'
sy. The bill is "Sarah Barnum'a Dilemma", a
satire on negro life, Including in the piece
a burlesque, "Ill-fed. Dora." It promises no
end of fun. "Tne only Leon", of course,
plays Sarah Bamum. The Washington Even.
Critic says: "For novelty in design and
perfection In execution the Leon and Cush
man's minstrels are the peers of the universe.
Last evening at their Initial performance this
season at Ford's Opera House every available
seat in the theatre was taken, and from the
ringing up of the curtain to the going down
of the same a continuous series of applause
arose from the appreciative audience."

Fourth of July,
A movement was inaugurated yesterday by
F. L. Fiske, L. W. Hess and others which will
undoubtedly dcvclope into a first class Fourth
of July celebration for Ottawa.
This is a movement in the right direction
and every wide awake, enterprising citizen
should contribute his part toward making the
celebration a success. There can be no lack
of means all that is required is to push it
strongly.
In this connection it is hoped that Ottawa
Commandery will reconsider Its intention to
visit Joliet on that day aud remain at home,
adding thereby largely to the interest of the
occasion.
A well drilled Chicago military company
have expressed a desire to visit Ottawa on the
Fourth, aud they and others will probably be
invited.
An executive committee, of whom Mayor
Allen will bo chairman, will probably call up
on the merchants soon for funds, and under
whose supervision the expenditures will be
made.
Among the features of interest proposed is
a prize of one or two hundred dollars to the
largest township delegation outside of Ottawa
who will take part in the procession. This
will be an Incentive to some church, Sunday
school, or other township organization to
compete for the prize and replenish a deple
ted treasury.
Other prizes ore suggested, but the whole
programme has not been determined upon.
The Fhee Tkahf.k will give it in full next
week.

Muh. Dk. Kkck Dear Madam: For ttie
benefit of the atllicted I deem it my duty to
make the following statement in reference to
my son Morris F. Johnson. From tho time
he was two years of age he has been atllicted
with catarrh in the head, causlnir almost con-
stunt discharge from the ears. I applied to
several physicians for treatment, but they all
said nothing could be done for his relief. The
only hope was that he would outgrow it.
About one year ago lie took a violent cold, se
riously affecting his lutitrs, his hcarini; in ono
ear being almost entirely gone, and constant
discharge from both ears. As a last resort, in
last June I applied to you for treatment, hav
ing but little hone of benefiting his bearing
or general heulth. lam happy now to state
iinii me aisciiarge rrom ins ears lias entirely
ceased, his hearing as good as ever it was, his
health greatly improved, having gained twen
ty five pounds in the last six mouths.
You ciin getjfui'ther information by calling
on or addressing me at til'.t Main street.
Kespectrully, n. r . Johnson.
Dr. Mrs. Keck will visit Ottawa June 11th

Either the "hungers on" of the circus that
exhibited here this week were few, or clre
our police force wore very watchful. No se

One of these was for drawing a revolver upon
a circus man, and the other was for an at
tempt at pocket picking.
