THE HUr1AN RETURN BALL.

A very curious aerial act, styled by
some the human return ball, is this
year seen in The Barnum & Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth. 1t has
never been performed before, and
offers, besides it's extreme novelty, an
exhibition of such emphatic daring
as to be ranked as the most breath
taking on record At the conclusion
of a series of very remarkable aerial
feats on the horizontal bars, which
are placed far above the heads OF the
audience, two members of the troupe
hang by their feet, and throw and
catch third performer, passing and
repassing him backward and forward
like ball. Caught by the hands the
human object is flung away into space,
when whirling and wheeling through
the air he is caught by the feet by the
man at the other end of the bars, and
then returned with fearful velocity
back, to be again caught by the feet.
So the human ball goes, backward and
forward, up in the air, while the vast
audience is spell-bound. 1t is most
wonderful finish to a startling aerial
act, and will be seen with the show
when it comes here on July 14th.

BEST CIRCUS EVER SEEN.
Newspaper Opinions of Ringing Bros.
Show Where Both Shows
Have Been Seen.

The Denver Post in it's review of
Ringing Bros. worlds greatest shows,
says:
1t is out of the question to emu
merate even minor portion OF the
interesting numbers, but some of the
very best people are deserving of
special mention, while in every mem
Der of the company, upon his or her
merit, would be entitled to it. In
the matter of bareback riders, the
work of William Demott, who is the
acknowledged champion of the world
there is such dash and vim, that he
appears to perform his wonderful
work, summersaulting on bareback
horse included, as easily as an ordi-
nary individual walks along the
street. His close rivals for honOrs
are the splendid equestrians, VIM.
Cook, champion OF England. Senior
Jose Domingo, champion of Mexico,
and Cecil I'owande, champion of
Spain, while the American boy, Dan
Leon, gives them all good pace to
beat.
No less than nine principal bare
back riders are seen with this show
and the four premier equestriennes,
Flrna Ryland, Rose DOckrill, Julia
LOwande and Lizzie Rooney
who are certainly finished riders
in every way and who excel
all other women riders in the
circus arena. Miss Dockrill presents
beautiful riding act, dressed in NapOl-
comic garb and in leaping from the
ground to standing position on the
back of running horse, ecilpses all
other women riders.
The Flying Fishers and the Dacomas
are the most marvellous aerialists yet
seen in the circus world. These peo-
pie do return acts and turn double
forward somersaults entirely across
the big tent, and are caught in the
hands of other members of their
troupes as they fly through the air.
The Foy family of acrobats do some
wonderful things and the ladies, par
ticularly, clad in long evening gowns,
do all the somersaulting and tumbling
usually performed by male artists in
tights
Lockhart's performing elephants are
the most marvellous trained animals
ever seen in this city. They dance,
play musical instruments, dine at
cable, get drunk, and do almost any
thing else that man can do except
speak. All in all the big circus is ev-
erything it was promised it should be
and the Messrs. Ringing have GER
tainly fulfilled their promises and pre-
sented the biggest, brightest and best
circus ever seen in the city.
The big show comes to Mankato
Saturday July 3rd.

FERDINAND WEIGHTS CASE.
He Is Being Tried for Fencing Up q
Road in Rapldan.

The trial of Ferdinand Weigelt on
the charge of obstructing a highway
was commenced in the district court
this morning and was not completed
today. County Attorney Hughes and
A. r. Pau appear for the state and
W. N. Plymat for the defendant.
The following jury was secured:
Frank Warren, Daniel Williams, ].
w. Barnard, Hiram Hollester, Rich
ard Hughes, E. P. Rutan, VIM. Hoge,
Geo. Schultz, Paul Olson, Samuel
Preston, r. G.. Rev, J. B. Wagner.
This forenoon E. Reynolds and
VIM. Redemke were put on the stand
for the state.
This case came up first in the form
of civil case, but it was stopped dur
ing the trial, as the evidence showed
that it was criminal and not civil
case. A warrant was sworn out by
VIM. Jameson, of the Rapidan board
of supervisors, and Weigelt was ar
rested on the charge of obstructing a
highway and was bound over to the
grand jury, which indicted him. 1t
is claimed that he fenced up road in

ought to be. The question of the

FOR THE CHILDREN.
Ringing Bros. Have a Separate
Children's Parade.

Ringing Bros. Worlds Greatest
Shows, is the only circus in the world
that has provided a complete, sepa-
rate street parade, just to please the
little folks. The grand spectacular
street carnival which marks the ad-
vent OF the big show, on circus day,
with its mile and three-auarters of
horses, wagons, animal dress, ele-
plants and military display, is a
gorgeous sight for both old and young,
but the children will be delighted to
know that there will also be parade.
and big one, too, all for the little
ones.
The Ringing Bros. have a big ami
NAL farm in Southern Florida and
raise nearly all of their own animals.
The baby lions, leopards. tigers, bears
and other little animals, when first
sent to Join the show are less than
one third grown. There are fifteen
small cages or wagons, richly carved,
gilded and decorated, in these the
babies of the menageries are kept un-
til they grow large enough to take
place in the big managerie cages with
the full grown animals of their own
species.
These cages mark the beginning of
the children's parade, but they are
only one of the many features in it,
The tabled rhymes of Mother Goose
are pictured upon a number of Ella
borate tableau wagons, by groups of
golden statuary, representing all the
leading characters in nursery rhymes.
The comical brownies" so dear to
every childish heart, are with Ring
ling Bros. circus and will all be seen
in the children's parade. Every ad-
venture these little elfs have had is
known to every child and the shouts
of delight with which the Brownies
are greeted by the children are indi-
cative of their happiness.
All the world loves the circus
clown. For the proper delectation of
the little ones, Spader Johnson and
his famous clown band, will head the
children's parade IN this city. These
musicians (?) are the funniest fellows
on earth and they play as funny as
they look. Many educational and in
structive features will have place in
the children's parade and it will be
never-to-be-forgotten sight for them
all.
The parade will leave the show
grounds in Mankato at 10 o'clock
Saturday morning, July 3.

John Powell, of Spring Island, adj

The convention as a whole was a
success in spite of the inclemency OF

delegates and several who were to
take part from being present.
Much credit is due the Garden City

MIR. HANNA AND THE SENATE.

The time is not far distant when the
real truth of the senatorial situation
will be made known by the action of
the general Assembly. The absolute
certainty of Mr.. Hanna's defeat for re-
election professed by the Democratic
press is no more absolute than the posi-
tive assurance that Mr. Hanna has
given his friends as to the improba bill
ity of such q result Opposition is ad-
mitted, but it is in such a chaotic state
that it is not regarded as dangerous
quality. All opposition emanates and
is fostered by persons politically .op-
posed to Mr.. Hanna. The Republican
party of Ohio spoke too plainly in con-
vention assent bled at Toledo and at the
various county conventions for any Re-
publican legislator not to have his duty
clearly defined. Mr.. Hanna was the
party's nominee for senator. Mr.. Bush
nell was the nominee for governor. The
only difference was the manner of cleo
tion. Mr.. Bushnell was voted for di-
rectly by the people. while members of
the Legislature were elected to vote for
Mr.. Hanna much as were the Presiden-
tial electors to vote for Mckinley in the
electoral college. Had one of the cleo
tors chosen by the Republican party re-
fused to vote for Mckinley for Presi-
dent, he would have been scarcely more
,uIpable than Republican member of
.he General Assem- bly, refusing to vote
or Mr.. Hanna for United States sena-
