TIE CIRCUS.
Everybody Will Wait to See Mains
Big Shows.


The Walter L. Main show will be
with us soon. This circus, though COM
paratively new to the people, is one of
the best shows lin the world to-day.
Mr. Main is said to be one of the most
truthful advertisers in the show bust
ness to-day, and to that fact great
deal of his success is attributed. The
city of white tents present most novel
picture, and with all the rain and cold
weather of the past few days reminds
one that summer has come. The
horses with this aggregation are most
beautiful lot. Over 500 are carried, and
some of the finest specimens of horse
flesh are to be seen with Mr.. Mains ag-
gregation. The menagerie is one that
any show should feel proud of, while
the performance is one of the best of
any white-tented aggregation travelling
The features of this engagement are
many. Here is partial list: Horse
back-riding lion, two-headed COW, Gaza'
the magnetic girl, performing troupe of
Arabian horses, rooster orchestra,
troupes of Japs and Arabs, q horses
driven by one man, etc. The riding
and acrobatic performances cannot be
too highly spoken of. No one who
knows Mr. Main and has ever seen or
heard of him, has ever doubted that this
part of the performance would go in
want, and as usual this is only one of
the many features that has made the
show the success that it has been.

BLACK DIAMOND SALOON CASE

Coal Company Has No Saloon. and
Green's Place Declared Disrsputabie.
The statement of Anton Green and the
two other Black Diamond saioonkeepers
to the effect that their arrest on charge
Of selling without license was caused by
the Black Diamond Coal Company in an
effort to ''freese them out" for cutting into
the trade of the company saloon" 10 de-
MED by the prosecuting attorney, who
says that the Black Diamond Coal Conn
pany has nothing to do y it'll the prose-
cutting Of criminals in King county. It il
also denied for the county commissioners
by County Auditor Twicheli. who said
yesterday:
1.-The complaint made by Green 10 with
out she slightest foundation. The Black
Diamond Coal Company has not now and
never has owned q saloon as the mines
and has nothing to do with the prosecu-
ton. Here you see is the petition from
l37 OF the best people of Black Diamond
asking US not TO grant Green liquor
license. They say. and have no reason
to doubt their word. that Green openly
stated before no bought Duncaif & Evans
: out that he intended TO run dancehouse
and worse. Moreover, the saloon il not in the
town proper. but is out near the picnic
grounds aud the cemetery, where 1t is very
undesirable that any saloon should be.
1t will ruin hundreds Of the boys and
young E,en who work in the mines ii such
q place as Green has can be run openly in
Black Diamond; tits no wonder that the
people are opposed to it. The license va
gave Duncalf & Evans was not transfer
able and so in selling whisky without any
other license the Green men are plainly
violating the law"
On Monday the commissioners will have
Green appear and show cause why the
license should not be cancelled. There are
two saloons in Black damon besides the
one formerly controlled by Duncaif &
Evans. The latter parties are said to have
conducted very orderly place.
