tettes having been engaged, the Arion
quartette from Chicago and the Apollo
auartette from Columbus, o. One OF
the most interesting and pleasing
features of the Chautauqua will be the
appearance on the platform OF Maud
darlington Booth. Mrs. Booth Is ex-
clusively under the management OF the
| Interstate Lecture Bureau and she will
make only fifteen lectures this year.
| 1t has been arranged that Hon. j. =.
Dolliver shall meet Hon. Champ Clark,
| of Missouri, on the lecture platform'on
some occasion during the Chautauqua
and the debate between the two, who
are ranked away up among the fore
most platform orators of the day, will
be an occasion worth hearing. Exper-
| iments with the newest great discov-
cry. that of liquid air, will be feature
that will interest every man, woman
and child who attends. The exhibi-
ton is made with liquid air manufac-
tured by Prof Charles E. Tripler, the
inventor, and is under the personal
management OF Russell Palmer.
Herbert I. Granger. the plaintiff in
the sensational Granger divorce case
on trial for two weeks before Judge
Bishop in the district court the latter
part of last month, is no longer mem
Der of the firm of Guernsey a. Granger.
Mr.. Guernsey has bought Mr.. Changers
interest in the firm. Mr.. Granger has
left the city for good. it is asserted. 1t

some western town.
The people of central Iowa will
shortly have another opportunity to
see big show which is always sure of
warm reception. Ringing Brothers
great combined circus, menagerie and
hippodrome will exhibit at Des Moines
Monday, July .. The show has not
been here since 1896, and there Is a
very general desire to see il again and
| compare 1t with the admirable exhibi-
tons given in Des Mo mes by Ringing
Brothers in former years. Since the
last visit of the show it has been
| greatly enlarged-so much so, in fact,
| that 1t is now recognized as the largest
arenic institution in the United States.
In New England, where the show has
recently been exhibiting, it created
sensation, and in Boston the leading
newspapers declared that the perform
ances surpassed anything in the arenic
line ever seen in the Hub The per-
are identically the same as those given
| in the great eastern cities and many
novelties are being presented this sea-
son for the first time This is partic-
| ularly true of the trained animal dis
! plays, which embrace 0'Brien's 61-
horse act, Sanders elephant brass
band and Lockharts elephant come
| dams. There is also a new military
spectacle and new parade. Des
Moines will certainly give the show a
cordial reception. Reduced rates have
been secured on all railroads.
At a meeting of the board OF trustees
of Des Moines College the most inn
portant matter considered was the
| gift of $4,000 offered to the college
on the condition that the trustees raise
| 100000 to 100000 more. After long
| and careful deliberation as to the man
to put into the emergency to take
charge of this canvass, Rev. w. M.
Walker, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, of Des Moines, was unan-
imously chosen. lie appeared in per-
son and consented to do the work in
! connection with such brethren as he
may choose and in such manner as not
| in any way to conflict with his duties
j. =. Stephenson was chosen dean of
| the faculty ad interim and the choos-
ing of IA new president to succeed DIR.
ii. l.. Stetson will be held in allegiance
for a few months while this canvass is
being made.
Spurrier & Maxwell, attorneys for
A. X. Campbell and DIR. L. L. Eaton,
of Des Moines, have filed petition In
the district court of Polk county
attacking the sufficiency Of the saloon
consent petition passed upon by the
| board of supervisors June 8, and under
which the saloons are now operating.
| The petition charges that the consent
| is insufficient as to the number of
signers; that the persons making AFT
| dayit to the signatures are not of good
moral character; that the petition was
not properly canvassed; that many of
the signatures are not genuine, and
! that many signatures were secured by
| fraud. None of the charges are specific,
and the entire petition does not cover
page of legal cap paper. At the trial,
which takes place in September. in
order to establish the case claimed, it
| will be necessary to prove that the Pc
tition does not contain sufficient
number of signers, or that the reputa-
ton of the persons witnessing the sig
nature is not of n character that will
warrant placing credence in their att
davits to the effect that the signatures
are correct.
