Jesse Ask and Tony Br,ihn. could not be
found last night and it was rumored that
they had been kidnapped, bu, it later devel-
oped that the Sells Bros. electric light had
given out and they had engaged these two
noses to fash the dazzling brilliancy of their
refulgent spleador over the scenes Of the
circus ground. One wss placed upon the
outside and the other upon the inside, the
country was lit up for miles around, and the
point to clowns joke could almost be seen.
''Edison's latest" WAS nowhere and it is no
sure thing that We do no; loose these two
worthy citizens from among us, unless pub
lie action is at once taken, rs they have re-
ceived ovcrtures for permanent engage
ment at large salaries and "Anheuser free. {"

The scenes about the city yesterday were
lively and amusing. The morning train
from Kingman brought in three coaches full
of people, and the Santa Fe brought in .
large crowd from the surrounding towns,
while on every road leading to the city
steady stream Of wagons and other vehicles
laden with men, women and children were
hurrying in to see the big show. About
8 a. IN. the circus train drew up near the
Santa Fe depot and began unloading An
interested crowd of men and boys witnessed
the operation. All that part Of Douglas
avenue between Fourth avenue and the
depot was jammed full Of people, many OF
whom had been imbibing freely. There
was the usual crowd of tough looking
fakirs and circus followers, the shabby
genteel and the sleek looking gamblers
and swindlers, all mingling in the
throng. Fellows with their eyes dressed in
mourning and their noses in sings. Dan
Parks opened the police operations of the
day by capturing one of these cha ps who
was SO heavily laden with benzine that Dan
had to load him into hack like q dead hog
and hoist him off to the pen. A young lady
from the country while making a lively
spring from a wagon got her dress caught
on the seat and instead Of alighting on her
feet she was dumped in heap on the street.
About 1890 the immense procession of
golden chariots, cages filed with wild ami
mails and surmounted with masked human
animals who presented grotesque appear
ance, bands of music operated by wind and
by steam. There was the wild lion and the
live kangaroo, the big elephant and the baby
elephant, the camel whose hump had not
grown less like our own Campbell, the tiger
and the hyena, the Shetland ponies and the
little jennies, the ring horses and their gor-
geously dressed riders, all indicated big
show, and everyone expressed determine
ton to take it in. The procession came
down Fourth avenue to Douglas, thence
west on Douglas. The street WAS lined on
either side with an immense throng Of all
kinds of people, and all expressed their ap-
preciat ion of the parade. As one of our re-
porters took i'm the scene, memories of the
past came crowding upon his mind, when he
used to join the procession Of boys and run
along side of the little fellow in the wagon
drawn by the diminutive ponies. There
were probably 10000 strangers in the city,
Lib teams, 10 saddle horses, and 4,444 per-
sons came over the bridge from the west.
There was very little gambling on the
ground and altogether everything went of
quietly, and good time was had.

the REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.

Circus day is not the best possible time for
holding primaries. Political preferences
fade into insignifcance when comp arsd with
the study Of zoology. The presid ent and all
the presidential candidates wouldn't have
drawn as large crowd as assembled yester.
day to pay their respects to the monkey.
This homage rendered their ancestors by de.
voices of science is indeed touching, and
calls for the deepest respect from those sor-
did mortals in whom this filial pride is lack
ing.
Two tickets were out in all but the
Fourth ward, where the vote was unani-
nous. The minority vote in each of the
other wards was small, being about one

We have recently published two commun-

to secure the above institution for Wichita.
Colonel Stewart informs US that Wichita
would stand not ghost of a show, as it is
intended to accommodate the states lying
west of the Mississippi river, and central
point is more likely to be agreed upon than
one at any extreme of this territory. Fur
thermore the committee of the G. A. r.
have united upon the Fort Leavenworth
reservation, and will bring all their infu-
ence to bear, reinforced by the assistance of
Senator Plumb and Hon. Thomas Ryan
to have it located at that point. Wichita
being out of the question, we vote for
Leavenworth.
