Mayor Frank RAIDER will not 60 east
next month as had been the program
up to q few days ago. His honor had been
elected q delegate to the national meet
ing Of the Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine.
which convenes at Cleveland, Ohio, in
June. He had intended going from
Cleveland to st. Louis in time to wit
ness the scenes incidental to the NOM
nation Of William Mckinley. but fate
and other circumstances over which the
mayor has but partial control inter-
vened.
If the mayor left the city. Freeman G.
Teed. as resident Of the city council.
would be at the head of the city's af-
fairs. Teed did not exactly object to
Raiders going east: He did insist, how
ever, that he had intended going to st.
Louis himself about June 10. which
threat meant the possibility of the city
being for month or more without an
executive head, unless the mayor should
himself make sacrifice and change
the program. The mayor thought over
the situation for sometime. He was
east twice last year with full pay during
each trip, and he decided after mature
elaboration that 1t would be policy for
him to remain at home during the pres
ent summer, as there Is municipal
campaign only a few months off, and 1t
would not do to provoke hostile criti-
cism just at this time.
HARRISON AND HIS CIRCUS.
The members of the council, both in
dlvidually and as a whole. were yester-
day calling John p. Harrison, the young
man who writes the pleasant things
about the elephant and the feats of the
high diver for the Wallace circus, all
sorts Of harsh and unpleasant names.
Harrison stated in an interview publish
ed in the Herald yesterday morning
that on Sunday morning six Of the nine
city councilmen approached the circus
people and said that owing to de-
pleted treasury much adverse criticism
was INDUCED in. directed at the coun-
cilmen. for their action in refusing $500,
the contribution to the city for the priv
flege OF exhibiting within its limits,
and asking them II they would move into
the city and for the two remaining days
pay $500. The circus people were as
sured. so Harrison states, that If they
consented an ordinance would be
passed early on Monday morning,
promptly published in the official organ
and SO be made legal. Thinking these
men to be acting in good faith, the cir
Gus pulled UP stakes and moved into
town.
Councilmen Munson, Savage, Snyder,
Pessell, Ashman and Kingery were
among those seen about the matter yes
terday, and each one of them denied
that the circus people had been promised
that their license would be reduced.
Most of them, in fact, insisted that young
Mr.. Harrison did not know the truth
when he sees land that when he by acct
dent runs afoul Of 1t, he brushes it aside
for fear that 1t will hurt him. They as
sert, further, that it was owing some
what to the peculiar qualities of young
Harrison, displayed when he, was here
last year, that the circus license was
raised almost out of sight the day after
the Wallace show had left the city. If
hnx G1,
next season and Harrison should be a
part of the aggregation, the majority of
the councilmen insist that 1t will cost
the show several thousand dollars more
than it did this year.

Kirk Of Fresno, that we did not get the
meeting for California, we. are inter-
ested in the success of the association,
whether held in the east, west, north OF

to take good care of all who attend this

cursions to different points Of interest.

ra Falls, the Great lakes, the ST.
Lawrence river, the historic cities and
other attractions of that region. The
railroads and steamboat lines have
made low excursion rates to places of
