An Absent-Minded profcssor

Neander, professor of theology in
Berlin, was one day ovcrtaken by
thunderstorm. He jumped into a cab,
but could not give either the number
of his house nor the name of the street.
The driver thought the man was mad
and was about to tell him to get out,
when the professor, espying a student.
called out to him, and said: Just tell
the man where l live" Ncandcr's Sis
ter, who kept house for him, took
fresh apartments nearer the UNIVERSE
ty, as she thought the distance too
great for her brother. A few days
after their removal he complained of
the long and firing walk, and it then
turned out that he had always gone first
to the old lodgings and so round to the
university.

THE CIRCUS.
1t Was Good Show and Everybody Was
Satisfied.

1t Was II Good Show and Everybody Was
Satisfied.
John Robinson's celebrated and world
renowned show exhibited in Roanoke
yesterday at p. m. and o. m. on a
splendid plat OF ground on West Salem
avenue. Early in the morning it was
evident that large crowd would be on
hand, as the streets were thronged wit
people, u large number OF whom were
non-reside nts OF Roanoke.
The street parade at 10 o'clock was
good and was witnessed by thousands of
people Although the canvass was one
Of the largest ever stretched in the city
every scat was filed and the huge tent
was actually crowded. The exhibition
was one of the best ever seen in Roam
oke and was greatly above the average
circus.
King Solomon and the Queen of
Sheba was a masterpiece of scenic pro.
duction. The girls in the ballet were
good looking, the clowns were funny,
the acting was splendid, the animals
were raro and numerous and the whole
show was number one. A great deal
of the success of the show may be
attributed to the veteran clown known
to every man, woman and child in the
United States, John Lowlow; to the
courteous and accom- plished press agent,
d. D. Ryan and TO the genial and ener-
getic general manager e. c. Cullen.
The show left at midnight on its own
special trains and will show to day at

A HORRIBLE SIGHT MET HIS EYES.

seeing them surrounding and entering
the house, the little boy quietly made
his way through the garden into a
thicllet. Late that afternoon he ven
tured to the house. He had expected
the worst. and as he walked into the
door he did not expect to find a mem
Der of the family alive, but rather ex-
pected to see an Indian with q toma-
hawk come toward him. The house
was still, not sound could be heard
except the beating of his heart As he
went from room to room, a horrible
sight met his eyes.
The whole family had been massacrcd
by the Indians. The boy fell on the
floor and cried. Having looked at the
corpses of his parents, brothers and
cousin, he went with sad. sorrowful
heart on his way to the home of Il set
tier who lived some ten miles distant.
He arrived there the next morning and
was nearly exhausted. He was given
food and water and he told them the
story Of the horrible massacre of his
family to Il sympathetic family. The
men present prepared to go and bury
the dead.
arriving III inc place they looked at
the faces Of their dead friends and then
dug large grave. a cart body was
lowered into the grave and all the
corpscs We're piled into it, and thus
were they buried. The dirt was thrown
over them and the grave was banked
up high. There are two grandsons of
this little Wilds boy living in this
country to-day The spot is held sacred
to the memory of those who arc buried
there

An Entire Family, with tho Exception of

Marauders An Incident OF
Frontier Life.

There is historic spot on w. J.
Mock's place near Waycross According
to tradition, there lived family named
Wilds on that place during period of
early settlements of that part of the
state. There were but few settlers in
that section then. The Indians were
numerous, and more than once the
tomahawks were used against the
whites. says the Savannah News.
The Wilds family consisted of eight
members-fathcr and mother and six
children. The children were all bows.
Wilds was 4 farmer and had cleared a
good many acres of land. A rude log
cabin had been built, and everything
seemed to point to peace and pros
perity. For some time the Indians
seemed to be on friendly terms with
him. They admired his cabin and as
sured him that His ideas on farming
would be followed by them. But the
Indians were only waiting for him to
improve the farm when they would kill
the family aud take possession of the
place. There was visiting Mr.. Wilds
young lady who was his niece.
1t was noon, n day in midsummer,
when the sun poured forth great heat;
the earth was scorched; the sultriness

invited. Lying around here and there

The LEGISLATURE.
IN THE SENATE.

81 PAUL, April 7.-Several new bill:
were introduced in the senate at the
opening of the morning session and one
by Senator j. d. Smith reducing the
price to be paid for enrolling bills from
Is to cents per folio was passed under
suspension Of the rules. Committee re.
ports were then received and the calen.
dar was taken up. H. F. 652, the Kelly
anti-cigarette bill, was first taken up
and passed without dissenting vote.
Elevator Inspector.
S. F. Al. the bill creating the Office Of
inspector of elevators and lifts awak.
ened great deal of discussion. Many
of the senators seemed to think that the
bill was intended to provide situation
for some needy politician and when
vote was reached it was defeated, IA to
q. Two unimportant measures relat-
ing to the probate code and legalizing
the issue of bonds were passed and the
senate took up the
Elevator Sites Bill.
This bill provides for the building of
elevators and warehouses on the rail-
road rights of way and bringing such
houses under the supervision of
the railroad commission. 1t created a
lengthy discussion. After speeches by
Senators Rompe and Tawney the senate
took recess to $50, leaving the bill
pending.
Afternoon Session.
The debate on the elevator bill was
continued at great length during the
afternoon. At times the debate grew
very acrimonious, and Senators Leavitt,
Tawney, Day and Hompe took part in
very heated discussion of rather per-
sonal nature, which did not strike very
closely at the merits of the question in
volved in the bill.
The olive branch was finally extended
by both sides, and, by vote large
enough to suspend the rules, section +
was stricken out, as was also the pro-
vision giving the railroad commissioner
power to keep the elevators open more
than four months in the year. The bill
then passed.
II. F.. 275, to prevent the sale of
adulterated lard, was passed and the
senate went into committee of the
whole, with Senator Allen in the chair,
and HI. F. 429, providing statutes for
the United States court of appeals, was
recommended to pass, as was also S. f.
436, the Crandall bill relating to tree
cultura
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1893-04-07

REPORTS from Kansas state that
women participated quite generally
in the local elections of that state on
Tuesday, and while it was not their
avowed intention to favor any one
political candidate, their object being
to poll as many votes as possible, in
order to show that the women of the
state desired the right of suffrag e,
for the influence it might have upon
the question to be voted upon
to 'give the full right of suffrage
next fall. But the result shows that
they voted quite generally for the Re-
publicans, and it is thought for this
reason the Democrats and Populists
may antagonize the movement at the
polls at the next general election.
