Some of the good people of StrasburE
are raising a rumpus over their street
li.bts or rather because they have no
street lights: 1t appears that the yearly
revenue of the town is only about $3.50,
and az the debt OF the corporation is St7O
the council decided 20 economic By do
inc away with the street lights. This
has caused the StrasburS News, aud some
Of the citizens to pitch into the council
IN cold type, they claiming that the town
being badly paved and some streets not
paved at all the absence OF lights may
cause a broken neck or limb, and con
sequently damages against the town in a
sum probably far 10 excess of the amount
required for lighting the street lamps.
Although the weather was threatening
and at times it rsined heavily, the circus
brought a large crowd to town. The
afternoon performance was largely at
tended extra seats having to be put up to
the crowd. The perform
ance was fair, some of the acts being
first rate while others were tins killers.
During the show chase after theiY'
ing fakir caused some excitement as
several policemen went through the tent
at breAkneck speed, while Others cut
around outside the canvas. The light
fingered gent was Overhs uled aud as he
showed hght and struck at an officer he
got return that cut a small vein In
bis head and made him bleed like
stuck pig. He was tried, fined and re-
leased. II the managers will correct
very bad habit that number OF
their helpers have of collecting in
groups around the edge Of the ring they
would add to the enjoyment of those
who pay to see the performance.
