Goes circus IS TO be here on the 18th.
AS they make no boast of having a
great corps of their own police, we Judge
they expect to behave themselves and
to deal fairly with the people.
But our readers will remember when
the circus was here two years ago what
gang of thieves accompanied them.
Their method of robbing was to take
whatever money was handed them for
i glass of lemonade, or whatever was
sold by the various vendors, and not
return the change. One servant girl
in Worthington paid two or three dol
lars for glass of muddy water with a
lemon peel in it, and it was said that a
man from Spirit Lake was fleeced out
of $40 to $40 in this way.
We hope the people will remember
this and either make every rascal who
attempts this game at the coming show
disgorge, or report promptly to Mar
shall Chase and his squad and have the
fellows arrested.

Last Sunday was a ''divine day." as
they say in Italy. The rain of Satur-

decorated with boquets. TheI clouds
cleared away with the exception of a
lot of snow-white thunder-heads out
for promenade, and a slight wind
blew from the gates of the sun" all day.
In short, man who couldn't enjoy
such a day is either sick or is ''fit fol-
treasons, stratagems and spoils."

would have been entitled had they not
been stricken from the rolls; and no
payment will be made on account
