PANIC AT A CIRCUS.
Wind Demolishes Forepaugh's Tent
at Sioux City.

Sioux City, Iowa, June 2S.-Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers circus tent was
blown to ribbons in a gale here. Hun
dreds of people were imprisoned under
the entangled canvas, poles and ropes.
There was mad stampede for the en-
trance and between that and the crash
ing tinbers many people were hurt.
A thorough search was at once made
of the ruins by the police, when the
dead body of Ado1ph Halverson was
found. The injured were removed to
their homes. Among the seriously in
jured is A. w. Erwin, a leading merch-
ant. The number of injured will prob
ably reach twenty or thirty, of whom
not more than four or five are seriously
hurt.
The animals in the menagerie were in
their cages ready for the train and none
were lost. There was a stampede
among the horses, however, which for
a time threatened serious results. The
loss to the circus people was heavy.

FAITH CURE FAILED.
Injured Railroad Man Goes Mad While
Praying For Relief

d Martinsville, Ind, June 2S.-The res
idents of SpearsvilIe, Brown county, are
greatly worked up over a. faith cure
case at that place. Last winter a
faith cure missionary from Morgantown
went to Spearsville and organized a
church that he called True Vine'
church. He proposed to raise the dead,
heal the sick and cast out the devil by
prayer and to pay no attention to NOR
tai physicians. Among his converts
were Berry Harden and wife.
Mr.. Harden secured a position of the
]. NJ & 1 railroad, and the work train he
was on was wrecked and his foot
mashed. He was able to go home with
out receiving medical attention, and on
arriving there he and his wefe devoted
themselves to prayer for the healing of
his foot The prayers seemed to avail
little, but they refused all proffered aid
and at last his mind began to give way
under the pain, and his half brother
was telegraphed for. He arrived on
Sunday and found that the shoe had not
even been taken from the foot.
He FASTENED to give such aid as was
possible, but it was found that the mem
Der was mortifying and little could be
done He had completely lost his
mind, and had to be sent to a hospital
in Indianapolis, and it seems that the
foot will have to be amputated.

HANGING FIRE.
State House Walk Contracts Still

The contract for the asphalt walks
and drives on the state house grounds is
still hanging fire, due partially to the
fact that a quorum of the executive

to the fact that the council had not been
able to agree upon the material to be

An effort is being made to have the
