BuoNvILLE. Mo, june 2.
Show day and the finding Of the female
floater on Monday have caused BOonville
to be excited twice this week. FRS, the
finding of the dead body of Miss. Annie
Bauerlien, of Kansas City, in the river near
here on Sunday afternoon. There can be
no doubt but that il was q case OF suicide.
A private letter from Frank Bauerlien,
brother of the deceased girl, was received
here this morning, in which he declares II
to be the belief of the family that ii was q
case of suicide. The wound in the back
was shown BY the autopsy to have been
caused by q snag, and the body Of the poor
unfortunate was not violated in any way.
In q fit of mental alteration she threw her
self into the mighty Missouri, or perhaps
paren. al authority and home life were not
suited tn her disposition, and this was the
method she took to rid herself OF them. II
was a sad, mysterious case and the citizens
of Boonville have been very deeply inter
ested in it
SHOW day brought a monster crowd of
country people to town Thursd.y. s. h.

patronage was enormous. In con-
vsrsation with representative

eat up large part Of the profits. Show
men encourage railroads to increase their
expenses, and this is the result Old John
Robinson contracted with the Union Poetic

the Pacific slope during the summer, and
Bsrnum paid the Pennsylvania Central Il
think that was the rosd) not TO allow an
other circus TO travel over il. Expenses
for salaries are not as high as they once
were. People want more actors. even II
they are not SD good. When there are a
large number Of actors the salaries, OF
course, must 90 down. Frauds. swlpdIers
and thieves worry the circus men consider-
ably by following after them, and when the
people are victimized they lay IT on the
show people, and We suffer in consequences
Sometimes, from trivial cause, the people
and the circus men have row, and the
devils to paw. This thing is quite COM
mon in the western and southern states.
Our circus has had nothing Of the kind
this year. however"
