Grand Opera House.

The interest in the Great European
 Circus and Midwinter Carnival increas-
 es daily and the audiences are growing
 larger and larger at every performance
 given by this, the best and only com
 bination of circus and vaudeville given in this city.
 It was happy thought by Manager Bunnell to make this venture in a change of the performances usually given, and the way in which it has been appreciated by the amusement low CTS shows that he has again struck the popular chord and gained the approval of his patrons who are not slow to rec ognize his sterling merits as an amuse- ment caterer. The program presented numbers fifteen different acts, perform ed by artists who are known as stars in their respective lines,
 Among some of the features deserv- ing special mention are the Japanese juggling troupe, the youthful Barrett in his clever club swinging, the fine skating act of the Mayos, Masaud and Marba, who are equilibrists of the high CT order; Mile Valeska, the clever tra- peze performer; the four Cohans, who do a. fine turn, introducing the Dancing Dolls; Ray Burton, clever slack wire performer; CapitolaH Forrest; the two Ducrows do some wonderful aerial flights, during which the audience looks on as if spellbound and breathes freer when the act is concluded and the prin- cipals retire amid the plaudits of the MGle Carlini's educated anil mai circus closes this fine bill. A great feature with Mile Carlinis troupe Is the pretty little dog who, dressed as a skirt dancer, goes through all the diffi- cult movements of the skirt dance un- der the glare of calcium light, as done by the best skirt dancers.
 There are matinees given every day at ? D. m. Prices 15, 25 and 35 cents, and no higher Every attention paid to out of-town patrons. iDon's miss seeing this, the greatest show ever seen in this city.
 It sounds like self-evident proposi- tion that "She Couldn't Marry Three" but in the play of that name which Miss Lillian Kennedy brings to the Grand the first three days next week 1t is shown what lot of trouble may fall upon a girl because she can only marry one man at a time.

SALINA, Kan July 1O.-The portion

containing a resident population of
1900, is under water. Hundreds of
families have vacated their homes and
hundreds of others are unable to leave
except in boats The river has been
rising steady three days, and, although
it has reached the highest point known
in history, it is still rapidly increasing.
The sewers of the city are GO /, I'd with
back water, and cellars and easements
are flooded.
The South street footbridge has
been demolished and partially washed
away. In the west suburbs overflow
water from Dry creek has submerged
the entire country. The situation is
the most serious in the history of
Salina. A foot more of water will
cover the first floors of 500 houses.
The flooded district is being patrolled
by men in boats and endangered FAM
lilies are being constantly rescued. It
will be miraculous if lives are not lost.

On Wednesday night the music store

window Glass Makers Combine and the
Price Goes Up.
ANDERSON, Ind, July 1o.-The great
est combination the window glass
industry has eyer known was consum-
mated last night. For some time the
price of glass has been about as low
as it was possible to make it for,
caused by very strong competition.
During the past year just closed
twelve companies west of Pittsburg
have refused to sell their product
and as result their warehouses have
been filed. The remaining nineteen
plants west of Pittsburg have sold
their glass, and as a result the end of
the season found $50, 900 boxes of glass
in warehouses. The twelve companies
that have been working on the quiet
had $50, 900 of these, and the half of
the remaining 10000 boxes will not be
fit to move for breakage and assort-
ment. The 10000 boxes will be ex-
hausted in couple of weeks, and then
the combine will have the market in
their own hands. A raise of 25 per
cent on all window glass was made
last night, and after the 10000 boxes
are disposed of the price will go still
higher.

Sudden Extinction of a Family.

The Johannesburg correspondent OF
the Standard reports an extraordinary
series of fatalities at Warrenton, where
by a resident lost his whole family in the
space of a few minutes. Three children
left the house to go to their father, a
farmer, who was in the field near. The
three put their hands in a crevice of the
rocks to obtain birds eggs. In this crew
ice there was a deadly snake, which bit
all the three. Two of them died before
the third could get home to tell the
mother what had happened. The moth
er, frantic with grief, tried to lift the
third child on horse to gallop for help.
She pushed him too far; he fell over on
the other side, fracturing his skull, and
died instantly. The mother re-entered
the house and found a fourth child had
fallen in the bath and been drowned.
Ehs whole family died within. one hour.

BOND FORCER LEWIS.
He Managed to Get Away with a Large
Amount of Money.

He Managed to Get Away With Large
Amount of Money.
URBANA, Ohio, July 10. T. Lewis,
the fugitive broker from Urbana, Ohio,
bought and sold over $4,000, 900 bonds
last year. There is a showing already
of over 800, 900 fraudulent bonds held
by the banks and money lenders, and
it is believed the returns are not all in.
These bonds were handsomely litho-
graphed, including the official sigma
lures to them. The audacity of the
forgeries is magnifed by the fact that
the bonds were on all counties and
towns within a days carriage drive
from Urbana. He sold none of these
bonds, but used them as collaterals for
loans. Lewis told a friend not long
ago that he was in debt 5000, 900 for
bonds. It is believed that at least
half of these are spurious.
Lewis has not been seen since Mon
day night, and it is believed he is en-
route for South America to avoid ex-
tradition. A telegraph order was re-
ceived here to-day to send his overcoat
and satchel to ST. Clair, Mich. Some
believe this is ruse to mislead his

FOR HIS CHILO'S SAKE
The Man Killed by Chicago
Police Desperate.
His Child Died and He Couldn't
Go to It.
FRUITLESS EFFORTS.
When He Couldn't Get Money
He Became Frantic.

CHICAGO, July 1O.-The body of the
man who was shot and killed by Po-
hceman Rosentha1 in front of the
Auditorium has been identified as that
of Charles German, who lived at the
Hotel Somerset, Twelfth and Wabash
avenue. From the laundry mark on
his shirt he was supposed to be C. E.
Cole, but the linen was borrowed be-
fore the shooting occurred, and his
real identity was esta blished by the
man who had befriended him. Mon
day afternoon German received a tel
egram from his wife in st. Paul, say
ing that his baby daughter had died
the night before, and urging him to
come to her. He made every effort to
secure money to take him where his
dead baby was, and after repeated
failures, in a moment of desperation,
he attempted to rob Saloonkeeper Nc
Gloin, that he might have funds with
which to go to his wife.
G. E. Cole, the man who loaned Cor
man the linen and who identified his
body, is in charge of the dining room
Of the Union League club. He roomed
at the hotel with German and knew
him well. Monday night about 6
o'clock German met Cole as the latter
was leaving the club house, and showed
him telegram from his wife telling
him of the death of his child. He
tried to sell large revolver to Cole,
but the latter did not have the amount
necessary, $1s. Then the two men
tried to pawn the weapon, but could
get no more than Sc on it. German
then tried to trade it at the railroad
offices for a ticket to St. Paul, his
efforts being unsuccessful.
The two men then went back to the
hotel. German was very uneasy. and
about z o'clock said he must renew his
efforts to get the money. He started
down town and was not seen again by
Cole until his body was identified. In
Germans trunk were found letters of
recommendation from various bar
rooms where he had been employed,
one of them being from the Grand Pa
cific hotel in Chicago. All the testi-
monials spoke of him as a man of in

boat was capsized and all were thrown
into the water. While their compan-
ions managed to reach the bottom of
the overturned boat Taylor and War
rington started to swim ashore. They
had reached within fifty yards Of the
beach when Taylor called to Warning
ton for help. He had become exhausted
and his swimming was slow and meas
ured. Warrington turned about to
help his friend, but as he did so Taylor
sank beneath the surface and rose no
more Nearly exhausted himself, War
rington turned shoreward again and by
great effort managed to reach it. He
fell in a faint amid the rank grass OF
the salt marsh, where he was found
several hours later almost dead He
had suffered untold torture from the
stings of 'greenheads" and mosquitoes,
which swarm in myriads about the salt
meadows. The rest of the party chung
