WHEAT BEGINS TO MOVE
PROSPECTS OF AN EARLY SHORT
AGE OF CARS LOOMS UP.

Word was received yesterday by the
Great Northern that grain was already
commencing to move on the northern df-
vision, between Moorhead and Brecker-
ridge, and also on the Willmar line This
means that grain is being threshed much
earlier than was anticipated by the rail
road companies, and that unless prompt
steps are taken there will be a shortage
of cars earlier than is usually the case
The Great Northern is daily expecting
the arrival of 1900 new freight cars Of
10000 pounds capacity each. They will all
be needed, from present indications, as
reports from different parts of Minnesota
show that the yield per acre is greatly in
excess Of the estimates based on the sup

MONKEYS MAKE A HIT.
LITTLE CREATURES AMUSINGKY
ENTERTAIN LARGE AUDIENCES
Norris & ROwe's Popular Show Gave
the First Performances of
Weeks Engagement
Yesterday.

Norris & Rowes trained animal show
gave two performances to large crowds
yesterday afternoon and evening. The
tents are conveniently located at the cor
ner of Wabasha and College avenue, and
everyone who attended was highly
pleased.
The show begins with a grand entree, in
which the entire force of animals figure
to good advantage, ending UP with
charming picture in the ring, in which
elephants, dogs monkeys and ponies are
the prime features The performances of
the trained ponies are little short of mar
Vicious, the military drill being particu-
larly fine. The troupe of trained dogs is
the finest ever seen here. and the antics
of the clown CANNES furnished much mer-
riment for the applauding crowds Three
trained elephants showed the marvellous
sagacity of these huge creatures The
monkeys made fun galore for the little
ones, and seemed to enjoy the various
numbers in which they figured as greatly
as the audience
Prof. Winston's trained band of seals
was a remarkable exhibition and well
worth going a distance to see. The clown
band, with "Sooza' as the leader, created
no end of fun. The four-in- hand and
chariot races are worthy of special men
ton and elicit great applause at every
performance The show closes with a
realistic fire scene, in which dogs and
monkeys figure conspicuously, and a fire
department of mammoth pretensions but
liliputian dimensions makes an exciting
close
Two performances will be given every
day for the rest of the week, in the aft
erEoon, beginning at 2;3O o'clock and in
the evening at S;15.
The show is remarkably clean and
clever and admirably managed.
The~tent under which these perform
ances are given is one of MAMMOTH pro-
portions and seats are comfortably ar
ranged. The show will continue its per-
formances throughout the week, after
noon and evening. Street parades will
