PINGREE'S REASONS
For Supporting Alger a. Against
Mcmillan For q. 8. Senator.

Detroit, Mich, June Ex-Governor
Pingree in a dispatch TO a Chicago pa
per says: Ny reasons for expressing my
preference for General AIger for United
States Senator are that he is a foe 10
trusts and favOrs the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people. Senator Mcmillan. his only op-
ponent at present in the field, declares
himself TO be the friend Of trusts, or
judicial combinations as he calls them
and his record commits him to election
by members of the legislature
General Alger is accessible to the peo-
pie, is well and personally known
throughout the state, is warm hearted
and ympathetic, uses his honestly ac-
quired wealth for good purposes, de-
clines 10 enter upon a Doodle campaign
and would make real representative
OF the people.
Senator Mcmillan is a machine made
senator. controls numbers OF newspa-
accessible to or acquainted with the
people of the state, lives in the state
only long enough TO acquire legal res
idence merely, and his influence, repre-
sented by majority in the state senate
defeated all equal taxation and primary
election reform measures in the legisIa-
ture.
General Ayers selection Will harmon
ize the Republican party in Michigan
and save the state to the Republican
nominee for president Senator McMtI-
der than ever, may make the next Iegis-
iatUre Democratic, and may send a di-
vided delegation to the national Repub-
ucau convention General AIger will
cement the party. Senator Mcmillan
Will tear it apart.

ONE RING CIRCUS.
Drew q Good Crowd and the People
Could See 1t AL


Probably no circus that has visited
Topeka in years has had the capacity
Of the big tent tested as did Cooper
& Co.'S circus Monday night.
The tent does not hold L, coo people
like these big three ring and two stage
circuses but holds a cipher less and
has one ring The crowd which packed
the tent occupied all the seats, crowd
ed around the ring and stood up in the
entrances Everybody was there On
the very top row OF seats q good sized
party OF society folk enjoyed them
selves with half roasted circus peanuts.
red lemonade and popcorn The size and
appearance OF the crowd graduated
downward to the first row where the
barefooted boy and his friends were
seated
The appearance Of the show reminded
the older people Of the paIuy days OF
VanAmberg show and the famous
Dan Rice All the gray boards agreed
that the real thing in the circus line is
only found in a one ring circus. The
band was small but played necessarily.
The refreshment yenderS were untring
and the sideshow was almost as big as
the circus tent The show is not with
out good features The performance Of
the Japanese trOup is wonderful and
probably no trOup of JapS that ever
visited Topeka can equal them One
big. strong Jap lay on his back and
juggIed a little fellow with his feet He
tossed him up in the air and caught
him erect on his feet, he turned him
over and over and with never slip.
Then the grand climax The mule
and the riugnaster's offer OF SO to any
one who could ride him Three fellows
tried it The crowd became so excited
it crowded to the ropes Of the ring to
see the mule and rider tussle for su-
premacy. When the rider curled his
feet under the donkey's neck. stretched
out on his back and held his tail he
won and the crowd went home The

ANTHONY CARROLL

Makes a Request Upon Officials Which
is Denied-His Proposed Action.
Anthony Carroll went into the police
office yesterday afternoon and asked
Captain Brewer to show him the records
of those persons arrested that have not
been tried in the city court, but have
been discharged by order of the SUPER
intendent of police. The request was
refused, Mr.. Carroll being told that he
would have to have an order from Su-
perintendent Wrinn. He then asked
the superintendent to see the record,
but was told that he had no right to see
it. Mr.. Carroll states that he will bring
the matter up before the police commits
sioners at their next meeting, and if he
is not permitted to- see the record or to
obtain permission at the hands of the
commissioners he will carry the matter
into the courts. He states that it is the
right of any citizen to see the records,
and that he is simply exercising that
right He has been permitted to con-
suit any records of any other city de-
partment without any controversy or
objection whatever.

Words for Rev. n

Complimentary Words for Rev. Mr.
Hall.
At the Congregational church in
Plainville Sunday morning and evening
Rev. Mr.. Hall, of New Haven, occu-
pied the pulpit for a second Sabbath.
Rev. J. e. Herman left town last week
and returned home this morning.
New New Haven clergyman has made
a very favorable impression upon the
members of the Congregational church
in Plainville, and there is some talk of
his being secured as the new pastor
when the time comes. Mr. Hall is an ell
oquent and very impressive speaker.
He uses no notes during his sermons
and has the happy faculty Of being able
to deliver a most interesting and in
structive sermon in a manner that holds
the close attention of his congregation.
1t is not known as to whether Rev. DR..
Herman intends to occupy the pulpit
again before May or not Nothing has
been done about the issuing of a call for
mutual conference, as the pastor has
made no request of his congregation for
uniting in such summons.-Plainville

A HOME IN THE SOUTH.

The Great Southern railway, covering
trating with it's 5000 miles every i'm
portant section, offers unequalled facil-
quick transit, to tourists, and especially
to those seeking home during the Sc
we're northern winter months. There
are thousands in New England and the
Middle West who ought to own such a
home in the South on account of the
climate, if for no other reason. Com
mence now! Establish that home! Buy
a small tract of land and gradually i'm
prove it. A section especially attrac-
tive is the fertile mountainous region
of western North Carolina. Here is To-
Gated the famous health resort, Ashe-
Vile, visited annually by thousands
from all parts of the continent. An OPP
portunity out of all the usual course is
just now given through the enterprise
of nearly 200 educators, business men,
ministers and social economists, who
have purchased nearly seven square
miles land in the heart of these noun
tains on the Southern railway, and are
opening this famous section for home
life under ideal conditions. All proper
ty is held for the common good, and
while lots of generous size are set aside
to subscribers, the price and terms are
such as to make it in fact nominal, and
there Is no money making or personal
profit. Among the managers and lot
holders in the town of considerable i'm
portance already established are: Mr..
John S. Huyler, head of ''Huyler's Can
dies" Mr.. VIM. Ell. Wanamaker of
