the Great Wallace Shows.

The circus has come and gone, and ex'
pectation, which had been rather high
was fully realized. Considering the
weather the street parade, at noon, was 9
splendid exhibit of superb horses, sleek
animals, fine cages and chariots and gor.
geous costumes. The afternoon perform
ance was attended by a very good sized
crowd, who were well satisfied with the
treatment received aud the entertainmen
given. A more gentIemanly crowd never
Travelled than is with the Wallace shows,
and this fact alone is a great recomm snda-
tion to a circus.
At 7 O'Clock in the evening Ralston, the
high diver, made his blood -curdling drop,
which was witnessed by a large assem-
blage.
At 1880 the doors were opened for the
evening performance. which was not quite
so well attended as the afternoon. The
entertainment was cut q little, in order to
gain time for the long run to Santa Fe
but withal it was a splendid two hours
and a half entertainment, and the only OBJ
lection that could be raised was the ila-
bility to see all the acts as they were pro-
duced in the two rings and ON the stage.
Some people seem to think they were
not fairly dealt with on account OF having
to pay go cents for tickets when the reg
ular price was only 30 cents, but the Wal
laces only do as all the larger circuses do,
In having two ticket wagons, one where
tickets are sold at regular rates and one
where a slight advance Is charged, in
order, they claim, to enable people who do |
not care to wait their turn at the regular
wagon, to get tickets at once. As to those |
who claimed to have paid a dollar, they
must have expected to pay that much and
did not walt for change.

MR.. RIPLEY DENIES.
The Atchison Will Not Build a Separate Linz to
California at Present.

President E. p. Ripley, of the Atchison,
who is o in Los Angeles, CAL, having
gone to that point from Fort Worth, Tex.
emphatically denies the published report
that the Atchison .contem plates building
q line from Silver City, N. M, to a connec-
ton with the Southern California at Bar
stow or Victor, Cal.
This denial is taken to mean that there
will be no change In the contract now ex-
isting between the Atchison and A. & z.
after the sale Of the latter road. Had the
~bondholders of the A.. & T. expressed
themselves as DESTROYS of cutting loose
from the Atchison and operating as an
independent road, an extension of the
Atchison to connect with the Southern
California along the route mentioned
would probably be built. In any event it
is the general belief that it is only a ques-
tion of time until such a line will be con-
structed. 4

Those who were out of doors by 7o'c'ock,
this morning, no doubt, noticed the heavy
frost, and we're fearful of the result. The
tende vegetables, such as beans, cucum
bers and corn were probably ruined, but
as the season is yet early, these can be re-
planted. The fruit was too far advanced
to suffer seriously. The thermometer, in
charge of pr. Atkins, registered as low as
80. last night, but one degree below freez-
ing; on the night previous, the register
was Az,

The reputation of the steam laundry Of
this city is broader than the limits of the

managers of the Wallace circus sent q
small wagon load of laundry to the steam
laundry yesterday, and had it back 10
time for the evening performance.

Well may we cherish his memory for he
Possessed to an eminent degree all those noble
qualities which go to make up "A good citizen,
a kind friend, loving and devoted husband.
Dying as he did in the bloom OF manhood
with every attraction to cause his young life

the sad reflection that all OF us must die, some
earlier, some later in life. IL Il hard for us
however, to realize that we can never again

him the tribute OF our tears. Could we have
held the hand of the "insatiate archer" he
would not have died, but would have tarricd
