THE SYNDICATE SHOWS.
Rare and Interesting Features to BE
Seen in This Big Circus.


Wherever it has appeared the press
Of every city have been unanimous
and unstinted in praise of the Syndi-
cate shows. This famous circus and
menagerie will exhibit for three days
in this city commencing Tuesday
afternoon. Two performances will be
given daily, the matinees at o'clock
and the evening performances at S
o'clock. Two rings, an elevated stage
and a great hippodrome track are re-
quired for the extensive programme
of this show and in the rings and ON
the stage from three to nine acts are
constantly presented. Among the
many interesting features presented
are some rare feats of Craftsmanship
and equestrianism. James McElroy's
act of riding and driving twenty-nine
horses is certainly a most daring and
dangerous performance. Another
great equestrian feature of the per-
Torrance is a five horse tandem act
over hurdles by Miss Mollie Murray,
who rides and drives five Kentucky
thoroughbreds.
The menagerie is an extensive one
and contains many rare Snd interest
ing wild animals. Among the collec-
ton is a pair of baby kangaroos only
eight weeks old and they are the CEN
ter of attraction to all visitors to the
menagerie. The street parade is a
long and interesting one and will
leave the show grounds at 10 o'clock
a. m. Tuesday, for its procession
through the principal streets.

All the arrangements have now been
complete for the Ysaye concert which
takes place at the tabernacle May 30.
The Union Pacific and the Rio Grande
Western have kindly placed half fare
tickets on sale between Springville
and Ogden and from all indications
the largest crowd since the Patti con-

which is exceedingly low as compared
to Ysaye San Francisco prices, which

THE CROPS.

Following is the summary of crop
report for last week issued yesterday
by Observer Smith:
Weather-The fore part of the week
was moderately warm and pleasant
with about seasonable amount of
sunshine which was beneficial to the
growth of vegetation in all sections of
the territory; the latter part was cool
and frosty, especially in the northern
portions, where some damage was
done to tender vegetation by the Sc
we're frosts which occurred ON the
10th and 18th. There was little or no
precipitation during the week, and
there were some complaints of a scar
city of water for irrigating purposes.
Upon the whole the week has been
generally favorable.
Notwithstanding the cold
wave during the latter part of the
week, the temperature averages about
the normal, and the majority of corr
respondents report that the week was
a good one for the general crops. The
principal work performed during the
week was the planting of corn and
potatoes, which is about finished in
all sections. The fall grain is re-
ported in fine condition, and the
spring sown is up, looking healthy
ana good stand. The condition of
fruits and vegetables Is very promis-

The greater public, who are prom
ised an opportunity to hear Ysaye at
the tabernacle at 80 cents admission,
will rejoice that they have a chance
to listen to the distinguished violinlst
on terms that are within their reach.
The last thing that NJ. Ysaye said to
select few of his admirers on the
night after his performance at the
theatre-that is, h esadi as much OF IT
as his limited supply of English would
permit-was that we had a charming
city and charming people. must
come to you again" With the strains
of his wonderful music still ringing in
their ears, a cordial welcome was
responded by those present. 1t is
quite a circumstance that our citizens
will be able to receive something for
80 cents that costs a thousand dollars,
and that this is the lowest sum that
will secure a recital by NJ. Ysaye is
beyond question, because Mr.. Johnston
says SO, and he ought to know.
Wonderland opens Monday after
noon with an exceptionally strong bill

Davis, aged 26 years, claim agent of the
Lake Shore railroad, committed suicide
last night, under peculiar circumstances.
Early in the evening he went to barber
shop with his brother and they returned
together to their home. He seemed cheer
full, and as usual on going to u spare bed
room he lighted the gas, sat down on a
chair before mirror, put his feet on an
other chair and shot himself in the temple,
the bullet passing entirely through his
head.
He had not been dead an hour when
there came to the house two little girls
who inquired for him, and explained that
their sister, whom lie was to marry last
evening" was waiting for him at her home.
Davis family was amazed as they knew
nothing of his intention to marry.
The young lady is Miss Anna Noonan,
an intelligentand handsome girl employed
in one of the hospitals. Davis was to have
met her last evening at her home. her
parents knowing of their intentions. They
were to have gone to the Rev. r. A.
George of Trinity Congregational Church,
to be married, and had planned short
trip
Miss Noonan was greatly distressed by
the sad affair but bore up well. 1t is un-
derstood that Davis mother knew OF his

approaches the question is often asked
who is going to be United States Sena-

strated that j. Edward Addicks cannot

A. Richardson of Dover. He is the
only man who is able to harmonize the
factions engaged in this contest and
solidify the Republican party.
Mr.. Richardson seems to be the only
logical candidate and is in line to re-
ceive the Senatorship. The Republican
party nominated him for Governor in
1890 and he was defeated by only a
narrow margin. He is popular, honest
and liberal and possesses rare business
qualifications, and the election of such
a business man to the Senate will reflect
great credit upon the people of the State
Of Delaware.
No man who has been named for the
office will give such complete and uni
yersal satisfaction as Mr.. Richardson
among Republicans and Democrats
alike. l tell you the Richardson stock
is booming. OBSERVER.

DRUFsING or WILLIAM FEARS
During the Recent Terrible storm on the
Susqueianna.

A gentleman of this city has just re-
ceived graphic story of the incident of
the drowning of William Fears, pro-
prietor of the Elk River House, Town
Point, Nd, during the recent storm on
the Susquehanna.
Mr.. Fears and Henry Webb, the
writer of the letter are both well known
in this city where they have large
circle of friends. The incident is
described as follows: "Will (Mr. Fears)
and l started down the river in two
skitfs to take up three pound nets We
had set about half a mile this side of
Turkey Point. When we got there the
wind was very light from the northeast,
but cold.
81 started to take off the net and Will
took up the poles. When got all the
nets off l put my skiif in near shore,
and helped Will to put the poles away.
This took us all day and got so cold we
could not work very fast. The net
froze as fast as | took it out of the
water. had to tramp it to get it into
the skitf. When l was ready to start
for home, Will had about 10 minutes
more of work to do.
"It was nearly calm in the cove at the
llDlC, blG Dduh hGCDlHS lhC NllN
off of us. The snow was so thick we
could hardly see SO yards ahead. But
we were used to such weather. Still, in
that thick snow was our danger. 1t kept
us from seeing outside the cove and we
could not tell how hard the wind was
blowing. To be on the safe side put up
only my foresall, furled my mainsail,
and laid it down ON the load of nets. l
then started out of the cove to beat my
way up the river.
GAS soon as | got outside of the point
l got the full force of the storm. tried
TO put my boat about and run back into
the cove again. broke my rudder in
the attempt and then tried to scull the
skiff around with an oar and broke that
also. might as we'll have tried to turn
schooner with feather. The wind
was blowing gale, and it was freezing
cold. There was nothing to do but
stand across the river and try to weather
it. When about half way across my
sail began to tear out of the club. Then
| thought it was all up with me. But
there was one piece of rope that held ON
to the end OF the spreat and that saved
me. Had that broken, the sail would
have broken out with the wind and the
waves would have swamped the skiff.
GAS got near shore the mast broke.
Then l turned her with the wind and
ran for Captain Johns creek and to
safety. When | got there l was Gov
cred with ice and my nets and boat
were thick with it. She is there yet
nearly wreck.
"Reaching shore started for fisher
mans cabin, almost dead, aud wet
through with sweat from my fight for
life. Yet my clothes were covered
with ice. While walking along the
shore to the cabin heard Will call fol
me and for help. But could not sec
him. Ii had could not have given
him any help.
"rhe next morning we found hi;
skiff, bottom up, about 125 yards fron
shore. We cannot get him until the icC
leaves the shore"
