ELKs FOR THE FAIR.
Sioux City Will BE Advertised at the
Paris Exposition by Number
OF Trained Animals.

Sioux City will be advertised at the
Paris exposition by three ell1s which
have been trained to dive from high
platforms to water below. 1t was
supposed, until w. II. Barnes, of Sioux
City, succeeded in training them, that
elks could not be tanned. The three
elks will startle the Frenchmen by pa
rading through the streets of Paris
with antlers tossing and with flaming
blankets, on each bearing the words:
Sioux City, the Corn Palace City of
the World.'
The training of the elks was not by
means OF the whip. nor by coaNing.
When one of the elks made the dive,
as reward it was given morsel of
plug tobacco. They have passion for
tobacco, and would make the leap 20
times day for the sake of the COW
eted plugs.
The owner of the elks is also train
ing an Arabian horse. which has
learned to pick out at call a red, or
white, or blue handkerchief, to stand
on its head, to walk on its knees, and
do other tricks which have given it
the sobriquet of "the equine contor-
tionist.'

Indictments Hanging Over the Head
of Z. p. Stone, of Sioux City,
Have Been Dismissed.

The three indictments which have
been hanging over the head of E. P.
Stone, the missing cashier of the
Sioux City savings bank. have been
dismissed on motion Of the county at
torney. In 1896 Stone skipped out
from Sioux City. following the fail
ure of the bank. and an examina-
ton showed that he had forged paper
to the amount of $4,000. All efforts
to find him were of no avail, and final
ly attempts We're given up. But since
that time his wife and child have been
dependent upon friends for their sup
port, and. moved by sympathy for
them, the men who secured the indict-
ments consented to their dismissal.
1t is said Stone has been offered work,
and now that the chances of his ar
rest are removed he can go to work
and support his family. But just
where he is located is only known to
very few, and they will not tell
Before his downfall Stone was one
of the most prominent men in the
city, had fine home and moved in the
very best circles.

RAISE THE TAXES.
Board of Equalization Mt RoIfe
Thinks Business Men Are Not Pay
ing Their Share of Expenses.

As the result of determined stand
on the part of the board of equaliza-
ton of Rolfe, the total assessment of
moneys and credits of it's citizens has
been raised 100000 and many promi-
nent business men of the little town
stand in bad light with the taxpay-
ing public.
1t had been an open secret that GER
tain citizens were not gi'sing in COM
plete list of their personal property,
some practically evading taxation al
together. The city co uncil, in the ca
pacity of board of equalization, raised
the estimate of the assessors and ex-
perienced intense opposition from
those affected. An investigation re-
suited in the I'M sarthing of large
amount of personality not given in.

In Their Leadership-Force MT
Wcpencr Still Surrounded.

London. April 1S.-The government
has chosen this as the moment to pub
llsh a dispatch from Lord Roberts
pronouncing ceusure upon Sir Redvers
Butler and Sir Charles Warren two of
his most important subordinate COM
manders. This dispatch. written Feb
ruary ID, has been in the hands of the
war office FOR five weeks. Just why it
is published now, in the middle of the
campaign, is not understood, unless It
is expected that Gen. Butler and Gen.
Warren will ask to be relieved of their
commands. The revelation of their in
capacity must tend to undermine the
confidence of the troops in their lead
ership.
