One of the most enjoyable features
of the evenings program at the Ep-

who owns a circus in the world. The
management includes Miles Orton, one
of the Oldest showmen living, a former
Iowa man. Mr. Orion is one Of the

She has been with Harris fourteen
years and Is considered the worthy
successor of Jumbo in the favor of the
people.
"The Millets, aeriaists, are also
prime favorites, their acts being first
class in every particular. There are
trained ponies galore. Also four cub
lions, which will permit women to
hold them, and are always centers OF
attraction. A Siberian sacred camel
with his double hump. is also curious
animal and valuable because of the
difficulty of keeping them in the cold
climate Of the north"

WAS A CENTRAL DEAL.
Sale of Hooking Mine Was a Railroad
Move.

Oskaloosa, June lit has been
learned that the sale of the Hooking
Coal company was actually an Iowa
Central and M. & st. l.. deal. The
property was sold for $550,000 direct

the late Coils P. Huntington and first
vice-president of the Southern Pacific,
who is closely associated with Presi-
dent Edwin Hawley of the Iowa Cen

ership of those roads. The Northwest
ern people were desirious of obtaia ins
the coal property and probably would
have bought it had not the Hunting

ion they held by reason of the bust

The Hooking coal will be used to
operate the Iowa Central and M. &

argument was particularly forcible and
effective, being an able effort to con-
vince the jury that the killing was
without deliberation and was commit
ted in the heat of blood. Attorneys for
the defendant repeatedly disclaimed
any contention that their client
should not be punished, but
strove to convince the jury that
the state at best had proved nothing
more serious than murder in the second
degree. A good deal to the surprise Of
the public, Mr.. Long, of the local coun-
sci for the state, yielded the final arr
gument to Mr.. Scales of Ackley, prob
ably because Of the fact that Mr..
Scales had been in the case from the
beginning. Mr. Scales, beginning last
evening continued his address during
the entire morning hour and concluded
shortly after dinner. His argument has
been a detailed study of the evidence
and demand for the extreme penalty
of the law. The court room was crowd
