LEMEN BROS. CIRCUS.
RitzviIle's Initial Circus was Anything
But Desirable to Her People.

Monday afternoon Lemen Bros
circus showed in Ritzville, and scene
was presented never before witnessed
in our busy little city, as it was the
first circus OF any consequence to ex-
hibit here. At an early hour people
from the outlying country districts
began to pour into the city and by
1890 o'clock the streets presented a
metropolitan appearance. At that
hour the parade took place, but did
not come up to anything like the
usual circus parade.
A high dive was advertised to take
place at the grounds, but the feat was
not attempted owing to the high
wind, to the disappointment of the
crowd.
The entrance fec to the side show
was more than double the popular
price, and the attractions were few
and of very poor class.
But the greatest surprise was in
store when the doors opened for the
big show, as the entrance fee was
exhorbitant in the extreme, being 81.
The mcnagerie was very small affair
and the animals were Of the more
common species of the animal king
dom; but on entering the circus tent
one would expect, from appearance s.,
to be treated with great array Of
talent, but again the people were
to meet disappointment, as with the
exception Of few acrobatic, bare
back riding and trapcze acts, it was
dead FROST" almost every act be-
ing "cut" as much as possible and
over half the attractions adver tised
suspended altogether.
Nevertheless there were few at
fractions not down on the bills which
were especially intended to attract the
guileless Sucker" and relieve him Of
his Filthy lucrc." The festive she'll
worker was plying his illegitimate
vocation with his utmost engery, it
being estimated that $1,000 was lost
against this little game, which might
be termed highway robbery in a mild
form. The "short-change artist" was
also ever alert to give patron the
worst Of it" by delft slight-of-hand
performance, and the nimble-f fingered
pickpocket was not backward in in
Producing his nefarious business to
the public strictly on the quiet"
In fact, taken as a whole, the show
was about as rotten an affair as could
possibly be imposed upon the public,
and it is hoped that Ritzville will
never again be afflicted with such a
stupendous aggregation of hold-ups,
gamblers, thieves, FOUNDERS and
thugs as that carried by Lemen Bros.

nuuIcIpaI EIectrlc-LIgl,t Plant.

The Engineering News, OF New
York, recently gave an account OF the
electric-light plant at johnson, Vt.
a village OF 600 people. The total
outlay for the plant was $4,000. The
charge for 16-candle-power incandcs-
cent lights is: For first light, 50 per
year; for extra lights in same room,
50 per year; for lights in bedrooms,
81 per yearl At this price, after pay
ing all expenses, including interest on
bonds for the plant, the village, which
owns the plant, has 60 street lamps
of 30-candle-power free, and there was
a net profit paid into the local treas
ury last year Of $3.50. From these
figures we can arrive at the cost of a
lamp. If the town had the bonds
paid, SO no interest account would be
necessary, and the Gown paid pro rata
for its lights, the actual cost of fur
nishing l6-candle-power light would
be less than 80 cents year.
As an electric plant in Ritzville has
been contemplated for some time it
would be we'll when the time to act
for her citizens to investigate the
matter thoroughly, and if possible to
make it a municipal institution, SO
as to give entire satisfaction to the
consumers at little cost and also ben
eft the city to no small extent in the
way Of income similar to that Of the
town mentioned above.

vile last Friday morning from the

for some weeks. Mrs. Copp reports q
very pleasant time during her vaca-

amusing and quite thrilling exper-
fences, among the latter we suppose
might be classed her ride over the
switchback on an engine at o'clock

We note from conversation with
our local grain buyers that while
wheat has fiuctuated over an area oil
a cent or SO bushel during the past

they buy have not changed. A little
competition among the heaviest
firms here last Saturday caused blue
stem wheat to so up to 5lac, but the
more conservative buyers would not
pay it, as they said they had no money
to lose. The solution of the matter

PLAYA DEL ESTE, July Cen.
Toral, the Spanish commander in San
tiago, has been officially informed by
Gen. Shafter Of the complete destruc-
ton of the Spanish fleet, and that the
American warships are now free to
cooperate with the army in the re-
duction of Santiago. He has been Civ
en- such time as he may deem proper
to consider the advisability of capitu-
lating with his garrison.
Although Gen. Toral is apparently
anxious to resist to the bitter end the
utter hopelessness of holding out
against siege by land and sea must
be forcing itself upon him. His losses
have been heavy. The reinforcements
upon which he was counting have not
arrived. Gen. Pando has left him in
the lurch, and 1t is understood, is
making his way across the country to
Havana. The food supply in Havana
is low, and it is understood the ammu-
milton is running short. Our position
Is being hourly strengthened.

order that Gen. Toral may be able to
communicate freely with Blanco and

hour of delay. The archbishop of San

Executive Affixed His Signature,
and the Ceremony Was Simple in
the Extremc-The Pen Used Pre-
scented to Mr.. Stewart as a Sou
venfr of the Occasion.
WASHINGTON, July Tt was by
q ceremony Of the simplest character
that the resolutions, annexing the Ha-
waiian islands to the United States,
this evening, were enacted into law.
It occurred in the cabinet meeting room
of the executive mansion, and only six
persons besides President Mckinley
were. present.
At $40 AlonZo Steward, assistant
doorkeeper of the senate, arrived at the
White house with an eugrossed copy Of
the resolutions, signed by Speaker
Reed and Vice President Hobart.
George 3. Certiolou, secre tary to the
president. receipted for the resolutions
in the usual form, and then notified the
president they had arrived. The presi-
dent said simply he would sign the
resolutions Immediately, and a few
minutes later little group was gather.
ed about the cabinet table to witness
the completion of this important legis-
lation.
Those who composed the: group were
Mrs. Mckinley, Secretary Certiolou,
Mr.. Stewart, Capt. Montgomery who
is in charge of the war room at the
White house; Capt. Lef1air, the presi-
CENTS confidential messenger, and
George v. Frease, postmaster of Cam
ton, the presidents home city
Precisely at Z o'clock the president
affixed to the resolutions these words,
which made them law:
Approved, July Z, 1898. William Nc
Kinley."
Before rising from the table Presi-
dent Mckinley also approved the gem
eral deficiency bill, the last of the great
appropriation measures passed by the
present congress.
The president presented to Mr. Ste
wart the pen with which he signed the
Hawaiian resolutions, and il will be
saved by him as a souvenir of an act
that will make history for the United
States.
1t is said that the transmission of the
republic to the United States can be
accomplished without the slightest de-
lay or friction. A complete internal
organization already exists, civil mill
tary, ETC., and it is pointed out that
this does away with the delay of orga-
ntZing government such as occurred
when California was admitted.
For the present the existing civil or
ganization will continue with President
Dole as chief executive, and this will
run along until the five commissioners
appointed by the president complete a.
system of organization and put it into
effocf
