A Bad Week for Circuses.

WHILE Van Amburgs circus exhibited at
Meadville, Penn, on the 22d, a heavy rain
storm, preceded by gale OF wind, tore the
main tent from ground to center-pole and
let a torrent of rain in on the panic-stricken
audience. Many persons were slightly in
1ured, but none seriously, so far as known.
BARNUM's circus tent holding ten thou
sand spectators, suddenly collapsed at Titus
vile, Penn, September odd in a violent
wind and rain storm. Half the people were
inside, but cut their way through with their
knives or crept out under the canvas.
Twenty-Five persons were injured, but none
killed. There was no disturbance in the
menagerie. The loss will reach many thou
sands of dollars
RoBINsoN's circus exhibited at Martins
ing the evening performance, while the act
was in progress the tent was struck by a
terrific blast of wind, which snapped ropes
and broke the middle pole in two, letting
the huge mass of canvas down upon the
heads of the spectators Lamps We're over
turned and extingushed, and the scene be-
came one of wild excitement, and with
three thousand people and number of wild
animals all mixed up together, the confu'
sion was awful For about one full hour
the air was filled with the shrieks of women
and children, the yells of men, trumpetngs
of the elephants and cries Of other animals
When all the people had been rescued II
was found that some twenty-five were in
jured, many of them seriously. No lives
were lost.

], A. Bemis Gained.

| At the Catholic Fair last week,
there was a decided disposition to
cane somebody and as there are a
great many popular men in town, 1t
was with some difficulty that it was
determed who it should be. And then,
these popular men are so modest that
there was difficulty again in getting
any two to become candidates for the
honor. Finally the committee sue
ceeded in inducing the genial host OF
the Bemis House and the scribe-in-
chief of the TRIBUNE to place them.
selves Gin the hands of their friends"
The cane to be given was fine
gOld-headed one and becomes an
elderly and dignified as well as pqpu-
lar gentleman like Mr.. Bemis re-
markedly well. Votes costs ten cents
each and as more people, paid this
amount and paid it oftener to cast
votes in the "Bemis box" than into
that of his opponent, he became the
favored one. The cane was presented
to him when cries of"a Speech" "a
speech" were heard all over the hall.
Mr.. Bemis responded briefly and ap-
proprialely and was heartily applaud
ed. The TRIBUNE man consoles
himself by thinking that all he has
lost, his friend Mr.. Bemis has gained
(this is very consoling to theTRIBUNE
man) and the many voters upon either
side console themselves by thinking
that all that they are out in cash has
been given for most worthy object.

Regular attendance at Schoojs.

One of the necessities for successful
school work is regular attendance on
the part of pupils. BY regular atten-
dance is meant not only that pupils
should not be tardy and. that they
should attend regularly during the
winter term, but that they should at
tend regularly throughout the year,
and where health and strength per-
mits, throughout a number Of years.
AS courses ofstudy are now arranged,
it is impossible for pupils to do good
work, If they are in school but a por-
ton of the time. Take for example
that farmers boy who comes TO the
village at the beginning Of winter to
60 to school. He is classified and
does an excellent terms work. In
the spring, he is taken home and
does not return to school till the fol.
lowing winter. Think moment, and
you San see the result. His class con-
tinued to advance during the Spring
tsiAu II OH tCAAllS cbuu w hSh Vic iil l1lSI 3
boy returns, he fluids himself two
terms behind. He can not go on with
his former classmates and falls back
into the next lower class and perhaps
goes over the same work the second
winter that he did the first. There
are numerous cases of this kind in
the schools of Morris now, pupils
who attend but one term year and
wis. aaffe found ln4d year after year in the
same grade. They never attend
school for q sufficient length of time
consecutiFely to complete the course Of
study for any year and therefore can
tnot be promoted or4nake satisfactory
advancement. The trouble is not
| with the schools, and in most cases
is not with the pupils, but rests with
the parents. It is to be hoped that
parents generally will give more at
tention to the manneE Ia which the
schools Of to-day are conducted, and
realizing the necessity for it, provide
wherever it is possible, for the regu-
lar attendance Of their children
throughout the year and throughout
every year until their education is
completed,

The Manitoba officials seem to have
a peculiar old time grudge against
Morris which they are keeping with
jealous care. The reason for it we
are unable to give. We have heard it
said that few years ago that, among
other things, there was great deal Of
difficulty experienced in regard to
blocked crossings and that, finally,
after trying all other means without
success, a few conductors were al
rested for their neglect and refusal to
open them. This greatly offended
some of the great monguls and the
president of the road is reported as
saying, "I'll fight them (the people
of Morris) till-freezes over" Since
then there has been no trouble in re-
gard to crossings, but the railroad of
ficials hay'n't got over being mad.
Whether this is what ails them or
not, we can not say, but something is
wrong. Morris is and has been one
of the most important points on the
road and has always given it a large
business. In return it has received
a constant snubbing from railroad Of
ficials and the shabbiest kind of treat
ment. Hoping to better their con-
ditlon somewhat, people of the county
aided in securing another road. but
this new conner at once pooled and
its acquisition is of doubtful value.
Now, another road is needed. One
that will compete for business and
not pool is what we want. After it is
secured it will make no difference
whether Manitoba officials are on
their eyr or not. A connection with
the Milwaukee or the Rock Island
road can be easily gained and would
work a revolution in the railroad
business of the county. All business
men and farmers in the county need
it and should do all in their power to
secure it,
