covering their noses and keeping their
mouths closed they might even do that,
for they appear intelligent enough to
do it. These particular grizzlies dance,
stand on their heads, play musical in
struments, sit at table, go through the
manual of arms, discharging guns, lift
and carry articles of all kinds, even
taking a chair, sitting down and at
tentively listening to all their keeper
has TO say to them. They conclude
their series of wonderful acts by en-
gaging in wrestling bout with their
master and at the end of the struggle
actually take him in their arms and
throw him clear over their huge shout
ders la Greco-Roman. OF course the
children are delighted. While this act
is going on there are dozen others
simultaneously performed in the other
rings, and upon three stages, for it
must be borne in mind one additional
stage has been added to what many
imagined was too many before. There
are now three rings, three stages and a
racing-track. In one of these at the
same moment fifty fine bred and trained
horses perform, presenting the most
majestic equine act ever seen. In all
the rings at another time twenty-four
elephants do marvellous things, while
on the stages appear troupes upon
troupes ofskillful acrobats, athletes, and
gymnasts, and up near the roof of the
big canvass the very air seems alive
with aeriaists in their thrilling flights,
dives and catches. Two menageries
adjon the main tent, in which are
twenty-four elephants, two droves of
camels, Johanna, the gorilla, the blue
nosed mandrill, fifty cages of wild
beasts, birds, monkeys and myriad led
animals, such as alpaccas, llamas, bison,
guibs, etc., and the new Eastern enter
tainment, Oriental India, with whole
families of pretty natives, together with
their houses, huts, arms, musical in
struments and domestic utensils. All
these enter largely into the exhibition
given by these curious people, consist
ing of dances, songs, music and tab
leaux illustrative of the home life OF
India. When the magnitude of the
show is considered the great wonder
created is, that one can see it all in a
single day. The street parade will
take place at nine A. NJ, the day the
show arrives in Montpelier, which will
be on Wednesday, August -.

FRANK P. ROBSON KILLED,

Just before going to press dis
patch was received here from COL
lector Sam Webb announcing that
our Mesa raised boy, Frank P.
Robson was ambushed and killed
on Wednesday in Skelton canyon,
New Mexico, by the Nogales bank
robbers. The dispatch stated that
the body would be buried on the
ground as it would be impossible
to remove it.
Frank has been one of the most
efficient, brave and trusted line
riders in the customs service under
Collector Sam Webb, and was
never known to shrink from duty
no matter how hazardous. He was
a manly man, genial, whole souled,
big hearted and was highly esteem
ed by all who knew him.. His
mother and sisters and relatives
are proartrated with grief, and his
wife who is now at Fairbanks, will
scarcely be able to bear the terrible
am iction. This entire community
offers its sincere coincidence to the
bereaved relatives of the murdered
officer. Frank died at his post

To begin, must say / found a

Something they should boast of,

Your irrigation system l think a
splendid advantage, notwithstand-
ing your shortage of water at times
For you are not terrified with the
drouths that many Texas farmers
experience and the big floods of
rain that fell in the east, that not
only delays them in work for DAYS
and weeks at time. but makes the
weeds and grass crop grow in pro-
portion to its rains. Your fruits
are excellent, especially your
peaches. figs and grapes. The
grapes that grow here are the finest

Your gardening, / find an i'm

dairying. also a growing industry.
in fact all of your pursuits are
good and prosperous. Now, they
may not seem SO to those who are
following it, but from what | have

you all are doing exceedingly we'll.
Well, few words to the churches

L find some in Mesa whose trust

we know those that are good will

Then, again, some Of your

Fresh Air for Poor Children.

In winter when the frost king b abroad

rested in the summer time but now the
Sumner Is a season of gratifying activity.
In winter there is fresh air in plenty, but
In these ATTITUDES In July and August the

children who are compelled to shivcr in

assistance. perish in superheated rooms I'm

deaths Of poor children by reason Of the in

have decreased to q minimum. This may
soon be the case In Washington where no

Confusion In the Empire State.

The New York democrats. with regard to
their local fight. are experiencing a measure
OF the same embarrassment which has
overtaken the republicans with regard to
their national fight. They had arranged to
make the campaign fer their state ticket
on one line. and with what promised to
be united front and now the whole face
Of the situation has changed. Where there
was union there Is division, and where no
subject was discussed few months ago
but the Raines bill no subject is heard now
but silver.
As late as the LIST of April the democrats
were counting on a most signal triumph.
They were absolutely certain that the re-
pubncans had ruined themselves. Cand.-
dates for governor sprang up on every
hand. Perry Belmont. after retirement
Of half dozen years. offered himself:
John Boyd Thacher Of Albany ran up his

Does the Quality Improve,

In the current issue Of Leslle's Monthly
answer Is made to the question How much
money does It cost to make an American
PRESIDENT" From that answer 1t appears
that the ratio of campaign cost L. steadily
ard startlingly on the increase. The statts-
tician says that In 1880 the republican ma
uonA committee received In subscriptions
the sum Of about four hundred and fifty
thousand dollars; in 1884 the total was
about six hundred thousand dollars: in
1883 the figures looked very much like eight
hundred thousand dollars: In 1852 the COM
D,ittee disbursed more than q million dol
lars. 1t is stated that the funds at the dis
posal of the democratic national commit
tee Wers equal to those in the republican
exchequer. When the detailed expenditures
are footed up 1t appears to be reasonably
sure that the President-making operation
four years ago cost somewhere between
eight and ten millions. Political mathe-
hatics may interest those who enjoy num-
ter-juggling. but those who deal only with
evident results may be excused II they
want to know whether we ara getting any
nore for our money TODAY thaa W. did

Last Call for Headquarters.

Another word In favor of establishing
Democratic headquarters here In Washing
ton may not be inaI propr:ate. That the
town Is In a political sense central; that
records may be more easily corsulted here
than elsewhere: that the local press is
Independent and fair in the presentation of
news MATERIAL of this has been told and
fs admitted But some recent experiences
OF Chairman Jones must have convinced
him that as between Washington and New
York this city would insure him the greater
comfort and convenience
just after the Chicago convention Mr..
Jones came here for a brief rest and found
II necessary to run over to New York on
a little private business. Instantly the
wires to the west were crowded with stories
representing Mr.. Jones as being In town
dickering with sound money democrats.
Inc populistS. on the eve of assembling
In national convention at ST. Louis, were
thrown into fiutter of indignation. What
did this mean? Were they to be sold out?
Mr. Jones replied with an explicit denial
of the yarns. and when he appeared in
person in st. Louis few days later ampli-
hed the denial by word of mouth. But the
popuHsts remained little distrustfuI. and
Mr. Jones did not fully accomplish the OBJ
Inc New York fiction still chung to him.
A second visit Of Mr.. Jones to the me-
tropoiis has ended In something of the
same kind. While absent he met Senator
Hill. and as was natural enough talked
over matters in general way with him.
hut populistic centers In the middle states
and throughout the west are now disturbed
over reports of the meeting. which repre-
sent Mr.. Jones as taking Mr.. Hill up on
10 an eminence and Offering him great
influence with the Bryan outfit If he will
Only help put IT into office. This also Mr.
Jones denies, but of course the denial will
never overtake the yarn. The more sensi-

Horses to He Made HnUny.

Humane people generally and lovers Of
horsefleSh in particular can hardly be
otherwise than delighted at the apparently
sincere announcement that motor cars will
succeed horses on the lexington and Belt
lines within a reasonable period of time
AS to the variety of motor to be expert
mented with or adopted there is much pub
lie carelessness; compressed air. compressed
steam, gas, electricity. anything. so long
as 1t brings about the liberation Of the
most miserable-appearing lot of horses that
ever dragged street-cars along the high
ways of city. The extremely warm
weather from which mankind and animals
have alike suffered of late has added to
the disabilities and discomforts with which
the Belt line and lexington horses are
normally afflicted. but neither the heat
nor the humidity can be held to RESPONSE
btiity for the condition of the unfortunate
eauines- Poor. skeletonzed brutes they
are. their bones protrude almost through
their dull hides; to lift their hoofs is over
route means exhaustion That the COM
pany will be cory to part with its horses
Is certain. for with the incoming of modern
motive forces there must arrive new con-
ditions with which compromises cannot be
possible. The daily allowance of hay and
corn may be reduced again and again until
the horses get no more to eat than Is alb
solutely essential to keep them alive. but
IL the company uses compressed air engines
there can be no skimpdns of the supply:
II II adopts electricity there must be ample
current 1t has been suggested that the
company has been using air instead Of
something more substantial as horsefeed;
not condensed air. but just common, Or
binary air to which each horse Is allowed
to help himself. 1t will be a great relief
to the horses and the public when the air
Is pumped into cylinders and used for pro-
peiling purposes instead Of being called
upon to act as an inexpensive substitute
for oats.
