RAISED ss5OIN 30 MINUTES
Society Circus Meets With Universal
Approval

The society circus committee met as
per agreement this morning to canvass
the business men for q guarantee fund
and in 80 minutes they had raised $3.50.
Every man with whom they talked was
disguised with the defeat Of the Audi
torium but they all had hopes and were
confident that the people would now
take up this proposition in earnest and
build an Auditorium that would be
credit to the city
Mr.. Dean Low, president Of the com
nittee on society circus, said this morn
ing: This committee will not pay any
attention to the fact that an injunction
has been granted against the Auditor
iun, and we will do our work and give
the circus. There is no doubt that we
will have an Auditorium and that in a
very short time. We have determined
to furnish the money necessary to seat
the Auditorium and we shall go ahead
and get the money and place it in the
bank or in good security until such
time as we have occasion to use it for
the purpose for which it was secured.
The society circus Will be given and
given soon and will prove to be one OF
the best money making schemes that
has been attempted. for the money is to
be used for the public good and the
people will be very liberal in its pat
ronage. It will be a good entertainment
for q good cause -

STOLE SCHOOL MONEY.
Chicago Man a Defaulter For the
Amount of $4,000.

Chicago, July 19.-William A. Gra-
ham, ex-schooI agent, clerk and secre-
tary of the board of education is a self
confessed defaulter in the sum of S34-
500. Positive proof Of the shortage was
discovered today, together with a let
ter left by Mr.. Graham authorizing the
conveyance of all his property for the
purpose Of Hquidating his shortage. The
ex- secretary has left the city and
agents of his bondsmen. the National
Surety company, Of New York, and the
City Trust and Safety Deposit company
of Philadelphia, who are each his sure
~ for $4,000 are now endeavoring to
find him.
In connection with his position with
the board, he acted as school agent and
handled all the moneys of that body
amounting to thousands of dollars an
nuaHy- All money received from col
IecttOns of rents. interests on invest
ments and the dividend on state taxes
was handled by Mr.. Graham
At the last meeting of the board Mr.
Graham failed of reelection as secre-
tary.
The amount Of property to be turned
over to the sureties byGrahan will not
amount to over $4,000. It is supposed
that stock speculation was the cause
of Graham's downfall as it was known
he was operating quite heavily
When Graham left the city he an
nounced that ne was going to Cripple
Creek. but il is thought that he went
instead to New Orleans and is now on
his way to some Of the South American
countries.

TO KILL HIS BOOM.

John H. Atwood OF LeavenwOrth has
repudiated the boom for governor
which was recently attached TO MS
name and denies that he has such as
pirations. Mr. AtwoOd's denial goes TO
the extent of calling upon his friends
to help him kill the boom. Mr.. Atwood
says that the office has no charms for
him and that he would not accept It
if it was offered to him.
I can conceive of no more trying
and thankless position said Mr.. At
wood 1T takes q man away from ms
private affairs and business ana in the
end he has lost his business and gained
no credit. There is no satisfaction IN
it and no pleasure; no profit and doubt

me in this connection but I viii stay
with my law practice and it viii stay

Men who boom me for the Office Of
governor do SO without my consent
Every body who has talked with me on
the subject knows how 1 feel I am
exceedingly thankful that It is little
boom for I can Overtake il and kill it.
But, it vexes me just the same to see
il in print for il is an unWarranted use
Of my name and places me in an alb

just now to push this subject from a

SAYS ALGER WILL RETIRE.
Cabinet Official Ayers There is Such
an Agreement.

Washington, July 19.-According to a
cabinet officer there is a positive un-
Outstanding between the president and
the secretary of war that General Al
ger shall retire from the cabinet. The
date is not fixed. it is said. but, on the
contrary, is left to be decided by cir
cumstancas. These circumstances. it is
said, involve cessation even temper
arily of the repeated attacks on the
secretary Of war. He asserted his I'M
willingness TO get out under fire. or
under circumstances which would leave
the impression that he was forced out
of the cabinet. Besides that. he claim
ed as right the privilege of writing
the annual report, covering the period
of the war up to July l of this year.
The position was taken by the secre-
taFy of war that he had been made the
sCape-gOat of the administration, and
hence he should have the privilege of
writing the annual report so that his
vindicatiOn should not be left TO the
hands of his successor. To both of these
views the president agreed. and the un-
Outstanding reached was that after the
report had been written, but not pub
Hshed. and at some time when there
was no immediate attack on the score
tary Of war. he would quietly resign,
apparently unexpectedly, with his pri-
vate business, the Michigan senatorial
campaign. or his health as the reasons
TO be assigned in his public letter of
resignation.
It is said there is a clear understand
ing that the retirement will take place
before congress meets. though a sue
cessOr might not be appointed until af-
ter the report is finished and signed
In the event of the resignation taking
place soon, which is within the range
OF possibilities, an acting secretary
would be appointed and Major General
