a Busted Circus.

Dan Castello's circus, which started
from Delavan, Wis, this spring, on tour
through Iowa, has busted. He has been
travelling by teams and the roads have
been so bad that he was unable to keep
his appointments and consequently was I'M
able to pay expenses. He accordingly
loaded his horses, cages, etc., on some
cars and started back to Delavan. He
passed through this city Wednesday, ar
irving via the g. II. l. & p, at about noon
and leaving by the w. U. freight at o
clock, with flats and six stock cars. SOM
of the men stopped at tins place. 1t is a
hard year for circuses.

On Monday night, two prairie wolves
attacked and killed young calf belonging
to Mr.. VIM, Moore. of Rural township,
dragging its body sore distance from
where they killed it. After eating what
they wanted they left the carcass.
Mr.. Moore procured strychnine and
placed it on the meat, and the next day
was rewarded by finding the body of a
splendid large female wolf not far from
the carcass The male was probably able
to get farther away but is, no doubt, dead
somewhere in the region. Mr.. Moore
brought the head of this wolf to town and
showed it to US in our office. He then
took it to the county clerks office and re-
ccived the bounty-$8. 1t is very
large and fundamentally handsome
for the head of wolf, and has very long
and handsome tusks. Probably there are
some young wolves near where the pair
lived They took turkey from her nest
near Mr. Moore's house not long; and soon
after that Mr. Moore saw the two after
his geese, but he scared them away.
The farmers of that vicinity are greatly
annoyed by wolves. How would the sharp
shooters of Rock island and vicinity like
to join an organized hunt for the var
minis? The farmers out there would be
glad to have them to do So

The Star clothing house of Childs & Co.,

persons anxious to secure bargains in
clothing, etc., while the present low prices

that this firm can and does sell goods at 40
per cent. less than any other concern, as
it has no middlemen profits to pay
but receives its goods direct from first
