TOMORROW Is THE DAY
The Big John Rob son Show VIII be
in Wichita

The Springfield, Illinois, Register has
the following TO say of John Robins IN S
circus, which recently exhibited in that
city and which will exhibit in Wichita
tomorrow, August 20:
John Robinson holds the distinction of
bringing the best and newest clr..us 10
this city that has visited it for several
years. The great redeeming feature of the
show is the diversion made from the old
and time worn routine of years gone by.
The parade gave the first evidence of the
circus reform which this well known
manager has adopted and the great
throng that waited on the streets to see
the feature of the show were more than
pleased. 1t was two hours late because
of the delays in waiting in the city, oc-
casioned by heavy rains at Alton. but the
diversion afforded by the new style wag-
ons and splendid horses drawing them
made it worth the waiting.
The great tent was filed to its ca
pacity at both performances and the i'm
mense crowds found something to inter-
est them at every stage of the game.
Long before the circus proper began
Reuben the greatest clown Of them all,
was doing some lively entertaining. He
insisted on taking a reserved seat when
the management insisted upon his taking
a seat in another part OF the tent. The
tussle that ensued was realistic and a
few more turns like this placed the crowd
in a good humor and the rest went great.
THE big show opens with the scenes
Of the time Of King Solomon and the act
is put on in a gorgeous manner. The
truth is. there is as much in this one
act as many shows present in their en-
tirety. The costuming for this event
alone represents a small fortune and the
pay roll Of the special people necessary
TO produce it is a large item.
When this is over. the big show be-
gins and it contains innumerable acts
that eclipse all former efforts in the cir
Gus line presented here Their bar and
trapeze artists introduced many new and
clever turns that took the audience by
storm
THE line Of bareback artists lead the
world. The spectators last night witness
ell a lady in full, long skirts doing a
bareback turn that scanned a marvel. She,
together with the other artists IN her
line, introduced new ideas that had never
been heard OF by local circus patrons.
The educated dogs and ponies captured
the small boys and more than pleased the
grown people.
Their trained animals OF all descrip-
tons are wonders and renew thu belief
that man can master all brutes OF the
earth. Elephants. cauels, hogs and many
other beasts were used for the amuse-.
ment Of the great crowd and all did Just
what the trainer commanded.
Taken as a whole, The best Ting that
can be said for the show Is that i has
never been surpassed by airy attraction
visiting this city, and it far exce,s The
greater number OF similar attractions
visiting here"

ROBBERS USE DRUG
Burglars Enter Mrs. Tracey's
Rooms at 456 St. Francis.
GIVE HER CHLOROFORM
Then Take Roll of Bills From
Bottom of Dresser.

Yesterday morning about O'clock Mrs.
abd Mrs. Osborne, 456 ST. Francis ave-
nue., was awakened by what seemed TO be
some enc pulling at the foot Of her bed.
She was startled and sat up in bed.
but it was so dark she could see nothing.
Everything was still for some time and
Mrs Tracey being very drousy settled
back TO a doze. Another slight noise
as If some one was going out at the
front door Of her room aroused her again
and she got up.
The door, which she had latched on the
inside when she retired was unlocked
and standing partially open. This
alarmed her and she began to look
around the room. As soon as the lamp
was lighted she saw that the screen had
been taken off the window and every
thing indicated that someone had scham-
bled in. She knew that something wrong
had happened and she went Immediately
to a drawer where she had placed a roll
of bills upon retiring in the early part of
the night. The money was gone Mrs.
Tracey had just had her pension check
cashed, and coming rather late she
had placed her pocketbook in the bottom
part of the drawer under some other
things. She had done this IN the dark.
She says IT was so dark she ouldn't even
see the dresser. Sc ad purposely left the
room dark till she placed the money so
no one could see her from the outside
There was s15 in bills. Everything in the
pocketbook which the burglars left.
There was Is in bills. Everything In the
room had been runmaged but nothing
more was taken. Mrs. Tracey awoke
Mrs. Osborne and they looked about the
place but nothing could be seen except
the wrecked window screen, the room
topsy- furry and the door pried open.
All at once Mrs Tracey was stricken
with a severe headache and then the
odor OF chloroform was detected. All
day yesterday Mrs Tracey suffered a vi
olent headache, the results of a heavy
dose Of chloroform. She thinks the bur
glars had entered her room found her
asleep and given her chloroform, after
which they had rummaged the room in
every corner and part. She thinks from
the way the room looked the burglars
must have been an hour making the
search. The police are working on the
matter.

been in the habit Of riding on the trains
in going back and forth from the main
part Of town to his home He and his
brother usually walked unless they found
their father and rode home with him.
The boy evidently had some plan for
something and on account of this was
in hurry to get up town. To save much
time he attempted to board the train and
in this way lost his life.
Just short time before the accident he
left home in a happy mood and with
some boyish idea in his head was intent
on carrying it out when waiting for the
train at the Lincoln street crossing. A
few minutes later his life was gone and
his body terribly mangled.

How Tombstone Got its Name.

When a Tombstone man goes to Fl Paso the ever yigilant interviewer is pretty sure to fall in with the visitor
 says the Star. It was Colonel Break carriages $ turn last. He told an old story. but it is a good one and here it is: How did Tombstone get its name?" answered MT. W. NJ. Breaken- ridge, the claim agent of the Southern Pacific at Tombstone, to an inquiry. "The late Ed Scheffelien went to Tue son from some place in the Mohaye country in the later sixties or the early seventies, do not know which, for an outfit with which to go pros pecting. In the region where Tomb stone now stands Indians had been mighty bad. When asked what he was going after, Sheffelien replied he was in search of mines. His friend said: You will just about run into a bunch of Indian and get tombstone for your pains He found mine af- ter dilligent search, however: which he registered as the Tombstone mine. From that the influx of prospectors came, the results being numerous, other discoveries and the much adver- tised town of Tombstone, Arizona. Sheffelien always had paternal feel ing for the town, and requested that he be buried there. Some years ago
 after he had gone through California and Alaska prospecting, he died ir Oregon: and in compliance with his l former request his body was laid tC
 rest amid the boulders forming Gran. ite mountain seuth of Tombstone. A
 monument upon which is inscribed 8
 brief history of the man and his deed: : points heavenward, and marks the spot where Sheffelien sleeps.

An Arizonan's Rough Deal in the
 Effele East

The following from the St. Louis Globe Democrat shows how dangerous it is for an ArlZonan to follow Arizona customs while visiting eastern cities, sasy the ProSpector. The article ex- plains itself and is as follows;
 "John Jones had to suffer much yes terday because a druggist imagined he had taken poison. He is 3s years old and refuses to tell where he lives, further than he came from Arizona. At , o'clock yesterday afternoon he was standing in the door of drug store at 9th street and Washington avenue, and while there, drew a small bottle from his pocket and drank the contents, of a dark browniSh color. The druggist saw Jones swallow the stuff, and thinking it poison. rushed out and called a policeman. The drug gi,t told the officer that the man had taken laudanum. The man denied that he had taken poison and told the officer he had merely taken d drink of of whiSkey. The officer was in a quan- dary, but decided that an ounce of preventative worth pound of cure. so he summoned an ambulance and had the supposed would-be suicide sent to the city diSpensary. There the Siphon was brought into use, but no trace of poison could be found, but for safety it was deemed best tO send Jones to the city hospital. There the siphOn was again used, with the same result. Jones was rather weak after the pumping, and was sent to a ward. He denies that he took poison and claims that it was all mistake, all save the pumping part, and that. he declared. was very unpleasant. ?

There are also strange mud volcanoes, where hot wa ter bubbles up from the bowls of the earth. Another curious feature of the desert is the COW tracks, which stand almost foot high. These tracks are generally made during rainstornI, and as the ground is then compressed where the cattle step npOn it. it hardens as it dries and the wind blows the sand from around the tracks, leaving them standing in some places q foot above the level of the ground.

Eugene Pierson is making success of irrigating his ranch nine miles west of Florence. on the north side of the river, by means of pump driven by steam power. He raises the water about 30 feet high There is a great deal of land in this valley that could
 be successfully irrigated by pumping plants. In the vicinity of the old Casa Grande ruins, or rather west of
 these ruins, in many places il is not over l5 or 20 feet 10 water for: irrlgat- ing purposes it can be raised from that depth at reasonable cost, the inflow of water in the wells in that locality is sufficiently strong to furnish an irri- gating head Blade.
 The assessment roll of Navajo county will not foot as much this year as it did last Property values in
 Winslow have grown considerably, but not enough to counterbalance the deportation of stock and depreciation Of values in other portions of the county. The outlook for Navajo county is not as cheerful as 1t might be. Should the forest reserves that have been created at the inStigation and for the benefit of one individual, ba permanently closed against stock grazing we can see bankruptcy staring at least three of the northern tier of counties in the face. and that not in
