Cool weather seems to have given a mid-winter appearance to Polls, for q great big audience last night witnessed the excellent bill Everyone was as- tonished by The Halloway Trio" To see two young men and young girl run and gambol over high wire as readily as if on the floor, was alone a marvel But they did not stop there, for they did all manner of strange taats on the wire, and then introduced a laughable cake walk just the same as If it was on the floor. Comedy has most of the bill. Barnes and Sisson re'Tery good Barnes is neat, clever and has a good voice, His jokes are new and his partner is good looking, bright and a fine dancer All their accomplish ments are put into sldt called "The Marriage Broker" and it is hit.

EARLY AFRICAN WAR NEWS
ALL INTEREST NOV CENTERED IN
 WATERING.

Unconfirmed Reports of the Towns | Rclief-Surpriso and Qualification Over Col. -PoVvelps Recont Vic- tory-Kruger's Grandson and Ninety Christians I'm the Transvaal-RundIo Advancing.
 London, May 17-In the committee room of the house of commons this morning Sir James Kitson. liberal, member for Yorkshire, West Riding, Colne Valley division, announced that 1 Mafeking had been relieved. The war office, however, was unable to confirm | the announcement.
 | Replying to a question in the house of commons at 4:30 o'clock this after
 noon, the parliamentary secretary of the war office, George Wyndham, said
 that he regretted that he was not able to give any information in regard to AIdlbhl1lS WlllCH NOuiN iGllSNC 'iAS anxiety of the nation about that be- leaguered place. He reminded the house that, even if the desired relief of Mafe- king had occurred, intelligence of the event could not arrive in England un- til two, and possibly five, days after wards.
 The latter part of MT Wyndhams reply is generally accepted as an inti- nation that the government expected that the relief of Colonel Badel-PoWell and his garrison would occur at about this time.
 The closing days of the siege of Mafe- king have been marked by an intensity of interest out of all proportion with the forces engaged The news that the half-famished garrison was not only able to repel an attack, but to inflict such heavy loss in killed and prisoners
 as reported in a despatch from Cape
 Town announcing the capture of Com
 mandant Eloff, the grandson of Presi-
 dent Kruger, and ninety of his men,
 makes Great Britain more than ever
 proud of Colonel Baden-Powell's little
 band, and increases the national desire
 for their relief to a fever pitch.
 Lord Roberts and his large army at
 Kroonstad and General Buffers thous-
 ands forging over the Biggarsberg
 range are almost entirely forgotten.
 Every one is thinking and talking of
 Mafeking and the latest exploits of it's
 defenders.
 Rumors continue rife that the relief of the place has been accomplished, but all official confirmation of the re- ports was lacking at 1 o'clock this af- ternoon. There was considerable specu- lation as to what Colonel Baden-Pow- ell would do with his ninety prisoners and whether the victory had not so de- pleted his force as to render him open to annihilation in the event of another attack by the superior Boer numbers But LourenZo Marques already hears rumors that these have been cut off by the relieving column. According to general opinion, news of the termina- tion of the desperate struggle between the besieged and besiegers must reach England before tomorrow.
 General Butler is making good prog ress in recapturing the railroad and driving the Boers out of Natal. His oc- cupation of Dannhauser shows that he Is meeting with little resistance
 Lord Roberts is still gathering his forces together previous to striking the Vaal river.

Rrushinr n Derby Hat.

Some men will buy two or three
black derby hats season. and these
will always look rusty and old. Other
men will buy not more than one
year, and that will never lose its deep
and brilliant gloss.
'I'll tell you why it is" said one of
the best dressers in town the other
day. ut is because one man brushes
his hat with n stiff brstled whisk. and
the other rubs his softly with a piece
of wooden cloth. The felt of hat is
such delicate stuff that n stiff whisk
applied to it has pretty much the effect
that currycomb or rake would have
on q suit of clothes. 1t wears the nap
off, exposing the bare gray foundation
In short order.
"a piece of wooden cloth, rubbed
over hat with circular motion that
conforms to the grain, doesn't rub off
the nap at all, but keeps it lustrogs
and firm and Of good color. l buy one
$3.50 hat a year and rub 1t each
morning with bit Of flannel. 1 guar
antee that it outlasts three S. hats that
are raked and scraped with whisks ev-
cry day."-Philadelphi Record.

A Wonderful Bird.

One day a wonderful bird tapped at
the window Of Mrs. Nansen's-wife OF
the famous arctic eXplorer-home at
Christiania. Instantly the window
was opened and in another moment
she covered the little messenger with
kisses and caresses.
The carrier pigeon had been away
from the cottage 80 long months, but 1T
had not forgotten the way home. II
brought note from Nansen, stating
that all was going well with him and
his expedition in the polar region.
Nansen had fastened a message to
the bird and turned it loose.
The frail courier darted out into the
blizZardy air. 1t flew like an arrow
over a thousand miles of frozen waste,
and then sped forward over another
thousand miles of ocean and plains
and forests. and one morning entered
the window of the waiting mistress
and delivered the message which she
had been awaiting so anxiously.
We boast of human pluck, sagacity
and endurance, but this loving little
carrier pigeon, In its homeward fight
after an absence of 80 months, accom-
plished a feat so wonderful that we
can only give ourselves up to the
Management and admiration which must
overwhelm every one when the mar
yelous story is told.-Atlanta Constitu-

An Extraordinary Island.

In the bay Of Plenty, New Zealand,
Is one Of the most extraordinary is
lands In the world. 1t is called White
island and consists mainly of sulphur
mixed with gypsum and a few other
minerals. Over the island, which is
about three miles in circumference and
which rises between 800 and 900 feet
above the sea, floats continually an
immense cloud of vapor attaining an
elevation of 10000 feet. In the center
is boiling lake Of acid charged water
covering so acres and surrounded with
blowholes from which steam and sui
phurous fumes are emitted with great
force and noise. With care boat can
be navigated on the lake. The sulphur
from White island is very pure. but
little effort has yet been made to pro-
cure II Systematically.

Sore About a school Proposition.

Brighton, Mich, Sept. 5.-Many of
the citizens of this town are sore
because a twelfth grade has been es-
tablished in the local school, which
necessitates the hiring OF an extra
teacher and an extra building for
school purposes. In the early part Of
the vacation a special meeting was
held to vote on the question of bond,
ing the district TO build large ad-
ditiOn to the present school building.
Although the building is not large
enough to accommodate all those who
wish to attend, the question was voted
down, because the board was agitat-
ing twelfth grade. Another meeting
was called and 1t was again defeated.
The board was not to be entirely beat
en-. So the G. A. r. hall has been en-
gagged for the accommodation of the
hrst and second grades.
