The CIRCIJS

John b. Doris circus drew Il large
crowd to town on Friday of last week.
The tents were pitched on Mr.. Yelling
tons lot in the east part of the village.
The parade was rather imposing, two
bands and steam calliOpe that played at
infrequent intervals providing the mu-
sic for this part of the show. The circus
tent was comfortably filled both after
noon and evening. Mr. Robinson's rid
ing could not well be surpassed and the
tumblers were much above the average.
The bicycle riding and the flying trapeZe
performances also deserve special men
ton. Outside these features the ring bust
ness was not of notable excellence. though
nothing demands criticism except the
songs of the clown, which were wretched
in manner and sentiment The MENACE
rie is small and the animals look as if "A
square meal would do them good After
the regular show in the ring there was a
concert" so-called, that was down
right swindle. The music was wretched,
the songs of the poorest and the Jokes of
the most ancient description including
even that antedeluvian one about the

Two Genuine Joint Snakes

Prom tie White OIks ". NJ Lsadsr.
Two genuine joint snakes were brought
into this city Tuesday evening by Pueblo
Indians. The largest was about feet =
inches in lengtE and the smallest about
IS inches. Parties in thi- city purchased
them and many curious experiments
were made with them. The small one
had II Joints. II was taken apart and
the pieces widely separated. Gradually
it started putting itself together, joint by
Joint, beginning with the head joint. and
In the course Of a few minutes 1t was again
aconnected snake. A joint was then taken
from the email snake and exchanged for
one In the large one. The two snakes
started off, but Immediately discovered
something was wrong after counting their
Joints, unswapped the wrong ones and
Voluntarily exchanged. They seemed TO
recognize their own Joints by the smell.
After this two joints were taken out OF
the large snake and one piece was placed
on the steps OF Mr.. Glldersleeve's Office
and the other in the hallway in front OF
the Governors office. The remainder oil
the snake wrlggled around for moment,
and was then taken with choking sen.
sation and died.

men were not masked, but were
entire strangers to all VINO saw
them. The boats soon reached the lslahd'
and the parties disembarked and lmme-
dlately disappeared in the thick follage
that then covered two-thlrds OF III. soon
afterward the sharp, loud reports OF Two
pistols were heard almost simultaneously.
Several piercing screams from the ladlss
In an instant afterward rang out over the
waters of the river. In ten minutes more
one OF the masked men was carried outot
the bushes aud down the sandy beach TO
the boat in waiting and gently laid there
in. One CT the ladies' followed. wiring
ing her hands and mourning
in an agoniZing manner. Inc
skiff was then pushed of and rowed rap
idly to a steamboat mOored near the Mis-
souri, shore The wounded duelist was
carried aboard and taken to stateroom,
where it was said he died in few hours.
The boat soon after moved off down the
river. Shortly after the first party left
the island the other party came out OF the
bushes, got into their skitf and
moved to another steamer lying further
up the river. They boarded 1t, and
disappeared into the cabin. 1t was
noticed that the gentleman wearing the
mask was also wounded, apparently In
the hip or legs, but not so severely as to
prevent him from walking. During the
afternoon of the same day the steamer on
which the second party embarked also
moved down the river. Who were the
parties to this tragedy? Although both
steamers often visited St. Louis after
ward, and the officers were earnestly
questioned as to who the parties were,
where they lived and why they fought.
they refused to divulge the secret. The
mystery still remains a mystery.
From 1S20tO 1910 was the era Of duels on
Bloody Island. and scarcely week passed
that did not marx the deadly encounter Of
parties who thought their honor could be
vindicated in no other manner than by
strict observance of the "code." 1t be-
came so common that people living on
either shore paid no further attention TO
the reports of pistols on the island than to
note the occurrence and then go about
their business.
Bloody Island is the scene OF occasional
stirring events Of a tragic character even
in this day and age Of the world, yet the
romance" and manhood" that called
the chivalrv Of the neishborhOod to it's
grassy and flOwery lawns during the first
half OF the century have gone down the
vista of that period, never again to re-
turn,
