Solomon and the Circus.

Solomon may have been wise man;
but for a man to build a house as
large as he did and attempt to live
with one thousand wives, when the
divorce courts were almost idle, seems
to disproye the statement. Solomon
said: 'There is nothing new under
the s1n;" but if he were alive today
he would be knocked "twister" to
be introduced to the many marvellous
things that people of this day have
come to look upon as commonplace.
History does not make any mention
OF circuses and menageries in the days
OF SolomOn's reign, and naturally the
supposition is that il any existed they
were OF the most ordinary character.
Ii Solomon could return TO earth now
and visit the Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers Circus, and see one Of its
many new features, be would do like
our congressman and senators when
they want the record OF their speeches
changed-revise his rash statement.
Ii Solomon and his one thousand
wives should visit the circus and take
their places on the reserved seats
they would undoubtedly attract
much attention, and should the Queen
OF Sheba enter the menagerie, she
would in all probability become the
cynosure Of all eyes. But the perfor-
mances Of Woodward's seals and sea
lion troupe, or Col. Magnus Schult's
imperial troupe Of Great Danes, or
Don SunLani's performing Spanish
bull, or the FOrepaugh dancing ele-
plants, or the aerial flights of the

wisdom, would not risk his reputa.

Recovered Stolen Horse.

A deputy sheriff from Pawnee
county, Oklahoma, named Brock, was
in the city Tuesday locking for a
stolen horse and saddle. He had with
him young man, supposed to be a
horse thief, who was helping him to
find the animal. They went to South
Haven from here and found the horse
and saddle in the possession of a
young fellow there. The deputy sher-
if was acting under the directions of
the man with him, who said the
horse had been stolen at POnCa City
by the South Haven man, whose name
is unknown. The latter fellow and
the man with the deputy sheriff
recognized each other Tuesday and
each accused the other Of stealing the
horse. The South Haven man claimed
that he bought it Of the Pawnee
county man and the latter denied 1t
saying that the South Haven man
was at Ell Reno aud inquired Of him
concerning the horse, and that soon
after it was missing, the suppositioD
being that be had stolen it. Some
complications resulted from the
accusations and counter accusa-
tions. A warrant was sworn
out by the South Haven
authorities for the man who accom-,
panied the deputy sheriff there, and
he was arrested and brought to Wei
lingtOn for confinement. The county
attorney was advised by telephone OF
the arrest, and he ordered the fellow
brought here, suppOsing that the
man arrested was the one from whom
the horse was secured. When the
fellow was brought up he was turned
over to the deputy sheriff, who went
home with him that night. A pecu-
liar feature Of the affair Is that the
South Haven man was not arrested
and the deputy sheriff apparently
did not want to arrest him.

Wellington Boys Reported Shot.

Miss Mary Grinstead, daughter Of
Capt. Grinstead, with the Kansas vol
unteers at Chickamauga, received a
letter from her father Wednesday,
written a few days ago, saying that
the report had reached that place that
one Of the sons of ]. s. Dey had been
killed and Shelby Pile had been shot
through the lungs in a skirmish dur.
ing the landing Of troops at BaiQuiri
last week. The letter states that
the report is uncCnfrmed and cannot
be verified. Capt. Grinstead says,
however, that there are many rumors
started in camp which are utterly
grOundless, and it is believed
that the report concerning the Wei
lington boys is not true. Shelby
Piles folks have a letter written by
him just before going aboard the
transports. Nothing has been heard
from him since, but that is not sutfic.

would not have had time to reach
here. The troops landed near Shat

The Grip I'm Chicago.

(Chicag0 Post, January 24thD
An epidemic OF grip threatens the city.
Already the dread digease in its worst
form has got a hold in the community.
and several deaths are reported. During
the last few weeks the health officials
have beeL .-s.%iously watching the de-
velopment of the threatened epidemic.
They had hoped that there had been a
mistake in the diagnosis. and that the
city might escape a visitation Of the real
disease.
All doubt has been removed by the de-
velopments of the last week. and to-day
the Health Department ran up the dan
ger signal. There have been reports OF
eight deaths from the strange and terri
BILE disease during the last three days u
the week just closed. These were re-
ported by physicians of such eminence
and experience as TO leave no room FOR
doubt Three Of the deaths were from
the uncomplicated form OF the disease.
but the remaining five showed the charac-
teristic malignant activity OF the influenza
germ In fatal complications OF pneumonia,
ap0plexy, and nephritis.
No epidemic possible in the city is more
feared by the authorities. They are pow
erless to check or prevent its ravages.
The only thing that they attempt 10 60 Is
TO warn the public against contagion.
Sanitary or unsanitary conditions do not
AFFECT the progress OF the disease, except
In so far as they strengthen or weaken
the system. On this account the threat
ened epidemic has caused widespread
alarm

Miss Gould May Lecture Here Again.

Miss Elizabeth Porter Gould, who re-
Gently gave her eloquent lecture on the
subject Of the National University" I'M
der the auspices of the Daughters OF .hc
American Revolution, is now lecturing IN
the shadow of the University. The pa
pers have given most fattering notices
of her speeches there and elsewhere. The
Boston Herald says:
Miss Gould is one of our literary wo-
men whose work for the past ten years
has been found in prominent periodicals.
In 1889 she published Gems from Walt
Whitman, which brought her merited
praise from the good gray poet and his
friends. She was the only one to whom
he had given his consent TO dig gems
from his work for the public gaze. In
1891 she published privately dainty 7Ol-
ume Of verse, Stray Pebbles from the
Shores of Thought which has attracted
the attention Of literary people for its
soul-value--its portraling of many varied
phases Of our human life. Miss Gould s
ambitions lie in the literary direction, so
much so that at times she has been
tempted TO give up lecturing. since it pre-
vented her having the time and strength
to write But her full flow or language,
her sweet. clear voice, her personal mag
netism. her ability to speak without
notes. added to the fine reservoir or infor-
nation which never seems to run dry,
make her eminently fitted for the lecture
work"
II is said that Miss Gould will proba-
blv be induced to lecture again in Rich
mond.

sCHLEY,s DRAFTS DIsHONORED.
Two of Them Given I'm Gooch1and,
But Not Paid-Being Looked Into.

A special to the Dispatch from Gooch-
land Courthouse, says:
ION January 18th George w. Schley, a
drummer, representing a prominent bust
ness firm in Richmond, paid our county
a visit, and during his sojourn succeeded
in obtaining from Mr. c. III. Powell. A
merchant at this place, the sum Of $50 in
exchange for a draft for that amount on
his house, which was promptly returned
mo effects" From here he went to
Maiden's, where he spent the night with
Mr.. c. II. Tucker, the merchant there.
The next morning he set out for Rich
mond, travelling by private conveyance.
Before leaving Mr.. Tucker, however he
drew another draft on the house In favor
Of his host for so, in payment of his
board bill and money that Mr.. Tucker
advanced him. This second draft was
also dishonored. The matter is now in
the hands of n well-known Richmond
detective, who is devoting his energies
to locating Schley."
The prominent business house referred
to in the special is the c. +. Sauer Com
pany, and the well-known detective Is
Sergeant John T. Hall. Sergeant Hall
was seen yesterday, and said that Mr..
Powell had written to him asking him to
locate and arrest Schley and that he
had written in reply for warrant. This
had never been sent He had succeeded
in locating him, however, but not in the
State.
Mr.. Sauer was also seen. He said that
Schiey came TO him from Manchester,
and had been recommended to him by a
wel-known plumbing firm of that city.
They thought him thoroughly reliable.
He did not look like a drinking man,
though he had learned since that he was.
His house engaged him to sell on COM
mission, and he was instructed, while
they sent him money wherever he wrote
for it, not to draw any drafts on the
house. Mr.. Sauer continued, that If these
had just been one or two cases where
merchants had suffered, he would have
made it good, but he learned that there
were perhaps a half dozen. A warrant
has been sworn out for Schley by the
Sauer Company, and they are endeavor-
ing to have ii executed.
