THE GREAT CIRCUS HAS GONE.
A Crowded House Greeted the Biggest
consoIIdated-congIomerated-cor-
rugated Circus on Wheels
That Has Visited
Las Vegas. :.

A crowded house greeted the Elks
burlesque circus entertainment last
evening and it was a decided success
In both the manner in which it was
conducted. under the management of
Prof. Haskell, and from a financial
standpoint. The various committees
Of the Elks worked like troopers. each
endeavoring to do his part in making
the circus a success. and to say that it
was a big one is putting it mildly. It
was highly enjoyed by those so for
tunate to be present.
The management staff in the first
part represented a side-show at q cir
Gus. 1t consisted of G. w. Hartman,
who was a typical vocalizer; L. ].
Marcus, who sold the tickets; DR.. E. B.
Shaw, who sold the reddest of red lem
onade; w. B. Bunker, who had charge
Of the (wagon) wheel of fortune; Har.
ry Warren, who acted as cop; C. C.
Shirk, as boss canvassman; j. ].
Smith, Ed McWenie, G. M. Roberts
and Charles Givens, who represented
the chief push among the weary will
lies, and the general run of rag tags
always seen at city circuses, started
the house off in an uproar.
The second act represented the in
side of the side-show and the following
wonderful freaks of nature were in
troduced and elaborately commented
upon by c. ]. Gavin to the ragtags of
the circus: The Queen of Snakes, ].
G. Peyton; Fiji Jim, e. P. Mackel:
The Circassian beauty, Jake Flint; the
Zulu, ]. H. Strausner; the Fat Lady,
Chas. Clay. John Fisher presented
the audience with chestnuts. John
Fisher, A. A. Maloney and Harry War
rem clog danced. Miss Maggie Burks
rendered song and dance being en-
cored for the second time. The Ger
man Silver cornet band, with John
Steward as leader and James Cook, Ed
Lewis, H. C. Smith and Frank Dearth,
members, took the house by storm.
The prize fight between Jeffries,
CIV. Clay,) and Sharkey. (Griff Rob
erts,) was decided draw by Honest
John Kelley, O. j. Marcus.)
Part third was in charge of Ring
master W. G. Benjamin. First came
the sawdust horses. VIM. Wood and
Homer Wean were eathe Japanese per.
formers; John Steward and r. L.
Pierson we're the merry old clowns;
Pete, the elephant. and Freckles, the
giraffe, cake-walked- with their es.
corts, Roberts and Pierson. Whitfield
Brown presented the heaviest act,
which told the whole story in a nut
shell.
The great Sponge brothers, Smith.
Maloney, Straussner and Pierson rem
dered all kinds of star chamber per-
formances, assisted by their little
brother, Pete Senacal.
The high diver was no sham. Sam
Lands did the real thing-Nit Miss
Maggie Burks walked the high and sill
very wire, w. L Haskell performed
the horseback freak and all was over
till next time.
P. S. Some of the young folks
wanted to stay for the concert.

ty-four buggies in Clayton last week.

Il Happened In a prun store,


"One day last winter a lady came
to my drug store and asked for a
brand of cough medicine that I did
not have in stock says Mr.. G. r.
Grandin, the popular druggist of On
tariO, N. Y. "She was disappointed
and wanted to know whit cough prep
aration l could recommend. said
to her that l could freely recommend
Chamberlain Cough Remedy and
that she could take a bottle Of the
remedy and after giving it fair trial
If she did not find 1t worth the money
to bring back the bottle and would
refund the price paid. In the course
of day or two the lady came back
in company With friend In need Of
cough medicine and advised her to
buy Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I
consider that very good recommen-
dation for the remedy" The remedy
owes its great popularity and extern
sive sale in a large measure to the
personal recommendations Of people
who have been cured by its use. It
is for sale by K. D. Go0daH. druggist.

Could Supply the World.

The Philadelphia Press yesterday
contained the following interview with
John Jermyn, of this city, cabled from
London, where Mr.. Jermyn is now So
journing:
London, May 13.-Mr John Jcrmyn, OF Scran.

land from the present coal famine and, il ncces'
sary, supply the whole world Mr.. Jcrmyn said
Great Britains extremity is Americas op.
portunity to demonstrate its own houndlcss re.
sources. Present conditions in Great Britain
mean mat tnc United States coal export is likely
to receive remarkable impetus II the situa
tion here is strained reported, importation
is inevitable.
European countries have already been forced
to invade the United States in order to supply
their own necessities in the way of a coal sup
ply. England can expect no relief at theiI
hands 1t is not impossible that TINS coal famine
will open England's eye to the superiority Of
anthracite over btuminous coal for domestic uses
The result of this cnghtenmCnt will he that
moro bituminouus coal will be demanded for the
nations naval, railroad and industrial require
mCnts.
"lt is the case however, that the United
States could not meet such demand for an
thracite coal The anthracite fields Of the United
States are by no means too productive for home
consumption"
Coal prices are the stiTcst ever known in ;Ic
United Kingdom. This condition of affairs has
gvicn rise to a suggestion that parliament tax,
