The Stranded Circus.

fuckers Giant show got along here
from Madison Thursday, for two days
exhibition aud held forth Thursday af-
ternoon and evening, but did not exhibit
Friday. 1t appears that the performers
and band had not received their salaries
for several weeks and refused to go on
unless paid. The management claimed
to be unable to meet their demands as
there were no funds in the treasury.
Therefore the company struck. The
canvas men, transfers and hostlers have
not seen their money for some time.
Saturday night a benefit was given in
Coburn hall by the stranded troup.
Several of the band departed Monday
morning for home. Some of the la
borers found employment in the grad
ing of the electric road to Madison Cen
ter and otherwise.
Suits were brought by certain of the
principal performers against the mana
gers, they were arrested and held by
sheriff Niles, pending disclosure pro-
ceedings before Trial Justices Priest
and Bachelor. Meanwhile attempts
have been made to reach a settlement
between the parties.
Some 40 of the horses are in Chase
stable and are advertised for sale at
public auction Saturday next by the
mortgages, and the wagons containing
circus property are parked in Hotel
Heselton yard. 1t appears that the
managers held part of the property

scented here, as we'll as the MORTGAGE.

The NEBULAR THEORY.
How, According to 1t, the sun and tho
Planets Were Formed.

The finite mind can hardly conceive
Of a time when there was neither sun
nor planets, vet both the Bible and sci
ence teach us that such a state of affairs
once actually existed. We have all read
the Biblical account of creation and not
few of us have spent valuable time
reading learned essays on the condition
of things i'll the time of "the begin
ming. 1t Is not the object of this
"note' to discuss the origin of the sun
and the planets from Biblical stand
point, nor do we mean to give Il resume
of scientific opinions on the subject. On
the contrary, we shall eontine our re
marks to what is known us the "nebu-
lar hypothesis, " or nebular theory OF
the origin of worlds and suns
According To the opinion of the most
learned astronomers, the beginning" is
ushered in with the existence through
out all space Of an undefnable matter
of substance called "nebula. This neb
ula was Of such wonderful thinness that
it is believed that millions of miles of
it could have easily been compressed in
to common thimble. The heavier
portions gradually gathered around
common centers after the lapse of ages
and formed planets, suns and stars
the light and heat of the two latter be-
ing due to the clashing of their compo-
nent atoms as they gravitate continually
toward the center of the mass.
The nebula origin of the sun and in
cidentally of the planets also is thus
finely set forth in recent article by q
well known British writer The matter,
or rather the gas which composes our
sun, was once spread out to the farthest
orbit of the outermost planets Of our
system-that is, to the planet Neptune
From the orbit of Neptune this incon-
ceivably thin mass began to converge,
growing dense, and denser and smaller
and smaller as it gradually approached
its existing dimensions. As it con
densed, revolving upon its axis, the So
lar mist left behind it at intervals por-
TORS of cloudlike matter cast off from
its equator
These masses of gas, undergoing a
similar evolution to that of the sun, or
central mass, have, with great slowness,
hardened into what is now Jupiter Sat
urn, the earth and the other planets.
Meanwhile the main central mass, al
ways retreating, eventually formed the
sun itself, the present chief luminary of
our system of worlds st Louis Re
