Bridge-Jumpiny Proves Turned to Ac.
count In the Water Carnival.
Paul j. Tustin, who made himsel
famous by jumping from the lofty
terminal bridge at St. Louis into the
Mississippi river, has turned his
high diving proves into account by
Joining the Barnum & Bailey Great
est Show on Earth to take part in
the water carnival. Tustin does a
head-foremost dive from a pedestal
high up under the dome of the can
vas into pool OF water in the CEN
ter of the arena, and also turns
single and double somersaults into
the water. Another of his feats is
untying himself from bag in which
he has been encased, and then
dropped into the mimic lake. The
water carnival is the latest of circus
fads. 1t was introduced by the big
Barnum L. Bailey show during its
annual engagement at Madison
Square Garden. New York-and the
Barnum show is the only one, by the
way. that ever plays in New York
City-last spring, and has been more
or less weakly copied in part by
most of the other circuses since. No
one imagined at first that the water
carnival would make so great hit as
it did, and no one thought it
would be possible to take it
upon the road in its entirety, be-
cause q tank is such a cumbrous
thing to carry. When it became ap-
parent that the big crowds that were
coming to the Garden were interest.

high diving of the water ring more

had to come in and devise some
means of making it easily transpor.
table. Considerable experimenting
was INDUCED in before just the right
thing in the way of tank was found,
and when it was found it was so sim.
pie that it seems a wonder that i,
was not the first thing tried. Two
collapsable tanks of rubber are car.
ried, and they are sent ahead alter.
nately into each town. The assistant
superintendent, Charles Mclean, ar.
rives with the tank. and lays out the
lot. marking the place of each ring
and tent pole and stake with iron
pins, to which bright bits of ribbon
are tied. Then he sets a gang oil
men to work digging a hole for the
mimic lake, in which the water car.
nival is given. This hole is ~ feet
across and five feet deep in the mid.
die, Just the size and shape of the
collapsable tank. The rubber lining
is then carefully fitted into this exca.

as the show arrives on the ground, a
line of hose is set to work filling it.

The wheel Of fortune Is revolving
at a rate that Will require the com
bined efforts OF Angus and Giles TO
stop it long enough to get in with
it. Their votes yesterday showed
a decided falling off and unless
their friends make a rally some
dark horse may creep in and shut
them both out 1t was rumored
yesterday that one individual who
has not yet received a vote has
nearly five hundred tucked away
In a place that Is easy OF access and
that he will drop them in the box
and set some one to guessing who
will get in the race. Another boy,
too young to be considered among
the speedy boys, has two hundred
odd votes and is adding to them at
the rate OF twelve a day.
The slate that has been on the
street during the past few days,
that Is, Dexter, Sylvester and King,
was knocked higher than a ticket
in a primary election yesterday by
Tom Kings withdrawal. Mr.. King
declines to enter the contest and
will throw all OF his efforts in be
half OF his friend Dexter. Giles
and Angus with their friends are
working against them, and like
bees around the hive are working
collectively and individually for
themselves and each other. But II
the young men who say they have
stacks and stacks of votes piled up
tell the truth it Is not more than
forty to one shot that any one of
the four will get a place. To
reach the goal requires hard
work and a nickel or two ex-
pended in the purchase of the paper
containing coupons. 1t doesn't
make any difference to the ADvER-
TIsER who wins the race or which
make of bike is selected; the choice
is with the winner, and the " 'TIsER"

notified the office yesterday that
she did not want her name men
toned in the contest and that the
votes that had been cast for her
could be counted among the scat
tering. The ladY's wishes will be
respected.
The ADVERTISERS contest is the
most talked of affair in town.
Everybody is interested in it and
ninety per cent. OF them are work
ing for their favorites in one way
or another. Just why the votes
should be held back is a matter
that only the candidates can
fathom.
There were cast yesterday nearly
four hundred votes, so that the
total number is considerably larger
than a thousand.

Proposition Of e. W. swift 10 Buiid
Lines 10 several Towns with
Mslbank as Central.

AS was stated last week Mr.. w. c.
Swift, the gentleman who held a confer
ence with IA number Of citizens short
time ago in regard to putting in tele-
phone system at Milbank, submits
proposition below for putting up the
liaes and establishing them in running
order. Whether the enterprise could
be made paying investment Is sub
ject for serious consideration 10y our
people. Mr. Swift states that he has
placed very liberal amount, for running
expenses, and the only doubtful feature
as to the investment would be as to the
the use that would be made of the line
to make the income up 10 the estimate
given. Ii the figures given on this could
be approximatel the enterprise would
prove very profitable investment TOR
local capital. 1t after proper considera-
tion of the subject the enterprise should
be deemed inexpedient at this time, 1t
would be we'll tor our citizens to keep
the matter of local organization IN mind
for the future, SO that when the time is
ripe for establishing such system it
may be done by our own people, and the
profits accruing therefrom retained at
home rather than going TO some foreign
corporation. Mr.. Swifts proposition is
as follows:
