If Omaha is in danger of being surfeited
by amusement there are no visible evil
dences of the fact. The special attrac-
lions at the exposition draw large ana
gratifying crowds, and worthy entertain
ments of all kinds are we'll patronized.
Naturally there is a great deal OF interest
in the coming of the circus, because that
is a different kind of amusement than has
been recently current. Besides, the circus
always has its individual fascination Tor
the lover of amusement. There Is some
thing about the big ring show that is ir-
resistible to nine-tenths of the population.
Naturally, the greater the show the more
potent is the attraction. No one in Omaha
need be told that Ringing Brothers circus,
which will pitch it's tents In this city Mon
day, September 4, is a great show. It's repu-
tation is established and its merits are uni
versally recognized. 1t Is interesting to
learn, however, that the show is larger and
more than ever worthy of the patronage of
the public this year. Some OF the special
features are particularly striking. The one
that has probably attracted the most atten-
ton is the elephant brass banda musical
organization composed entirely Of probos-
cidians. There are five of these big, I'M
wieldy elephantine wind -jabbers, and the
way they blow great, blue blasts out or
their long helicon horns is a caution to the
musical fraternity. Their repertoire Is not
an extensive one, but they have SO far mas
tered the intricacies Of musical notation as
to render Comm Through the Rye" with
such a thunderous volume of sound as to
rattle neighboring windows and cause the
lions and tigers to roar a protest in a deep
feline bass. But the real point the act
illustrates, and which in itself excites Won
der, is the fact that elephants can play
music, and, incidentally, that their lung
| power is several hundred times greater than
that Of the largest circus band, even when
playing double fortissimo passages. The
elephant brass band is not, however, the
only remarkable trained animal act with
the show. The famous Lockhart comedy
elephants are still retained, while Europe
furnishes a new and novel importation in
| Marchand's pugilistic pachyderms. A baboon
which does a principal riding act has at
! tracted a great deal of attention. The
arenic part Of the show is said to be be-
wilderingly comprehensive. The roster en-
braces nearly 300 riders, acrobats. aerialists
and specialists, while unusual attention Is
| given to patriotic spectacular displays.

BIG EXCURSIONS FROM IOWA
Come over Milwaukee and Rock
Island Roads, Attracted by Penn
~sy1vania Day.

The excursions from Des Moines and in
termediate points arranged by the Milwau-
kee and Rock Island roads for yesterday on
account Of Pennsylvania day" proved most
successful, although Pennsylvania day"
failed to materialize. The excursionists
we're much disappointed when they arrived
here, but made the best of the situation and
were satisfied with their trip because OF the
low rates which the roads had made. The
rates reached the minimum of the present
season, being about u cent per mile.
The Rock Island brought In Its excursion
train in two sections, one arriving at 11:1o
and the second at .1.S5, and the size of the
crowd was most satisfactory to the officials.
The Milwaukee officials also expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the success OF
their excursion.

Lectures Of the University Extension
course will begin mex. week. Prof.
Henry w Rolfe OF the University of
Chicago will arrive by the Doric next
tuesday, and will give the first lee
ture on next Thursday evening at
either the Y NJ. c. \. or the High
School.
Great interest IS being manifested in
the proposed plan. Sufficient money
has been raised to dcfray the expenses
of the proposed lecture course which
shows that the intcres, Is substantial
not cphemeral.
The regular work of the University
Extension course Is divided under diff
ferent heads. 1t begins with instruct
| ing and stimulating the hearers to
| think, and ends with having original
effort in discussing the vital questions
of the day.
The choice Of Prof Rolfc to make
the beginning in the work Is a fOrtu
nate one. In addition to being a sue
cessful organizer he is a thoughtful
eloquent talker.
His lectures will include the impOr.
.tant works of famous nineteenth cen
tury authors, among which will be:
IIdyls of the King, TennysOn; Vanity
Fair, Thackeray; Sartor Rcsartus, Car
lyle; Essays Of Stevenson; Essays OF
Ella, Lamb.
These are but few Of a long at
tractive list. In addition to the regu-
lar lecture there will be a general dis
Icussion of the author and the work In
question. The lectures will be free
and it is hoped that the interest viii
be maintained.

The kindergarten Association is still
beloved of the public, remembered by
it, and cared for as the report of the
Financial Secretary proved at the April!
meeting.
The important subject of discussion
at this meeting was, Are we eligible
for membership in the Associated
Charities?" As a Childrens Aid So
ciety, it would seem that we are, and
amliation with that body will guard
against the displacement of donations
and the Ill use Of moneys which should
80 to serve worthy needs. The matter
was thoroughly ventilated, and was
voted IN the affirmative.
Thus the kindergarten Association
now stands shoulder to shoulder with
the most advanced thought of the day.

acres OF the Honomaiino ranch and
other lands situated in South Kona

given for 5000 acres while the remain
ing 5000 are bought outright in fee
simple. The price paid by Mr. Achi
was $4,000
\. present a portion Of these lands is
used for grazing purposes, there being
q few hundred head of cattle and horses
now roaming over tho territory. About
forty acres, however, are planted In
coffee and are leased to Japanese.
II Is not definitely known what the
real estate man intends to do with his
new purchase. The fact that he will
be accompanied by Mr.. Blaisdell ma
.urally leads to the thought that an
other plantation is on the tapis.
When seen concerning his intentions
Mr.. Achi said that he had no intention
of starting a plantation and that Mr..
Balsdall accompanies him merely as
guest. He af1rms that it Is his inten-
tion to turn the property into a large

no excuse for the fact that beef is i'm
ported to these Islands, and intends to
