A Great Circus.

The magnitude Of the modern
circus is almost beyond ordinaI J
conception. When one consider,
that with ash6w like Adam Fore.
paugh AMI Sells Brothers united
lcircuses there ase over 1000 peo.
i pie and 500 horses, transportation
three immense trains, the gigantic
project becomes apparent to the
least impresslonable.
Greenville has been visited
within the past two weeks by over
100 attaches of the big show, and
today Frank O. Miller, press
agent, is here.
MI. Miller is enthusiastic over
seasons program and as he is well
and fayorably known here bis
word goes a long ways. He said:
"Of the show itself great deal
can be said. The menagerie is
completeness personified. I b 9
arenic performance is mastodonic.
The great loop Of Diayolo in only
one of the many new featnref.
This act alone consumes but six
seconds of the entire entertain
ment program, which is length
ened by the many features to two
and half hours. The loop act
Is, without doubt, the most sensa-
tional feat that this or any other
past age has ever known. From
the toplnost point of the canvas
dome Diavolo starts on his death
defylng ride. Shooting at terrific
speed down the 110-foot runway,
at an angle Of 45 degrees, be as.
cends the inner surface of the con-
centric coil to q height of 23 IL
feet, where, for fraction Of q
second, rider and wheel are in
verted. defying the law Of gravita-
tion. The Stacking of speed as he
reaches this point is not percept-l
ibls to the eye, aad before the
spectator can realize the danger
Diavolo and his whesl have COM
pleted the loop in safety. The
basis Of the actis the over coming
of the. natural force Of gravitatiOn
by velocity. The height NJ d
angle Of the runway are such that
the wheel andriAer exert suficisnt
momentum to overcome that ma
tural law"
But this is not the only big
feature of the great circus. There
will be seen the famous Aurora
Zouaves, wonderfully drilled
soldiers; the ten peerless Potterr,
worlds greatest aerlalists; Mint
ing, the marvellous unicyclists,
four herds of elephants, score Of
all-star clowns and galaxy oil
dainty bareback queens.

MORRIS ROSENSTOCK
The Man Who Got the County
Convicts.

The letting of the county con.
victs last Monday by the BoarG
of Supervisors proved an inter.
esting fight between several plan.
ters Of the county, and showed
1 that this labor is in demand.
Many present not only put in
bids, but had their attorneys there
to see that u fair show was given
them. When the bids were
opened, Mr.. Morris Rosenstock,
who but a few hours before made
his own figures, pressed his own
clam, was found to be the lucky
one, his bid being $500 per head,
and he was given the prisoners
for the next four years. The
award is a good one for the coun-
ty, as we believe we can truth
fully say that in his hands they
will be treated in the most hu-
name way, and what they earn
the cornty will receive.
Mr.. Rosenstock's success as d
planter and business man has been
along the phenomenal line. Many
no doubt remember him when he
was but a clerk in a country store
at a small salary, but he possesses
today one of the finest plantations
in the delta, and out of their sue
cessfuI management he has amass-
ed a considerable sum OF money.
Honest and energetic, q men OF
broad and liberal views, he i'm
presses himself upon all whom
he meets, wins their confdence,
and is given the inside tips np
successful deals. 1t is in. this
way he has found interest paying
investments. As planter, he is
owner and manager. personally
looking after his plantations and
keeping them IN tirst-class condi.
ton, so that each year they pro.
duce as fine crops Of cotton and
hay as any lands in his section.
On his pastures Craze only the
best blooded stock that can be
found. Mr.. Rosenstock lives on
his plantation with his two daugh-
ters, to whom he is very much at
tached, and his home is made .
pleasant and welcome one to ell
who enter.
Few men have we met whose
ability points to grander ,snccess
than that achieved by Mr.. Rosen-
stock, and we fully believe that
should fol tune continue to smile
upon him, a. in the past, the day
will soon come when he will be
pointed to as one Of the delta's
men and great benefac- |
tors.

TRAMP ASSAULTS A CHILD
August wright, a LabOrer Arrested
for AssaiIing n Five-Year-
Old Girl.

August Wright, a laborer about 3s years
old and a stranger In the city, attempted
a criminal assault last night upon Mary,
the 5-year-old daughter Of ]. B. Frame,
on the latter's premises at ITO William
street. Wright's intention was discovered
and he was pursued by the child's father
and the netghbors. AS the scoundrel ran
n~orthwsrd oficer Good Joined in the chase
and overlook the man at the point where
the Burlington tracks cross Twentieth
street. The policeman hurried his prisoner
toward the nearest patrol box to prevent
summary justice being done him, but could
not prevent Frame from striking the man.
At about s o'clock Wright came to the
back door OF Frames house and asked for
a drink Of water. After giving the man
the water those in the kitchen went out
TO the front Of the house and gave the
stranger no further consideration, thinking
him gone. Soon after little Mary being
thirsty went out to the we'll in the back yard.
A woman, who was in the second story Of
the house, happened to look out OF a rear
window and saw Wright climbing the back
fence with the struggling child in his arms,
The woman gave the alarm and Wright
dropped the child and ran. Mary was un-
injured. but her clothing was partially
torn from her body.

LESS FREIGHT ON BUCGIES
JObbsrs of Vehicles Garry Point with
Makers Of Rates.
PROPOSED RISE INDEFINITELY POSTPONED
western and Central Classification
Bureaus Decide to Let Old Ar
ranEement stand and Make
No Advance at Present.

Jobbers Of buggies and light vehicles In
the west are congratulating themselves
upon the action of the Western and Central
Classification bureaus in the matter OF rates
IDOL car lots between the east and the
west. About a year ago members OF the
Central bureau proposed a change in the
classification which would provide a mini
mum load for cars Of certain dimensions,
the cars, whether carrying that weight or
not, to cost the shipper the same amount
for transportation, and cars OF larger d.
mension carrying the same weight to be
charged at a higher rate than cars OF
smaller size. This rule would have worked
a hardship upon jobbers Of buggies and
similar goods, as no car will approximate
the minimum weight when loaded as full
as possible with such goods. The result
would nave been a practical increase of
from 10 TO 20 per cent In freight rates be-
tween the factories and the Missouri river.
At a meeting Of the Classification bureau
OF the Central district last winter the new
classification was adopted. but Immediately
there were so many protests from shippers
that the roads to the agreement decided to
suspend the operation Of the new rule until
July 1. At the meeting Of the Western
Classification bureau at New Orleans shortly
after the meeting OF the Central bureau
the same plan received the support Of a
majority Of the members OF the association,
but because Of the action OF the Central
bureau In suspending the operation until
July 1 the rule was not formally adopted.
Word has been received In Omaha tina
at a meeting OF the managers OF the West
ern and Central bureaus held last week IL
was decided TO indefinitely postpone the

TAKES LOAD OF ARC LIGHT WIRE
Ferdinand Brizzi, q sixteen-Yenr-OId
BOY, Has n Terrible Elec-
trio Shock.

Young Ferdinand Brizzl, whose home is
at Twentieth, and Oak streets. has been
more or less interested in electricity for
the last FIVE of his sixteen years, and last
night took a share In the Thomson
Houston company-a portion Of the 1000
volt arc. light current. hot from the wire.
Brizzi's fingers on the right hand were
deeply burned and he was knocked In
sensible, but will suffer no serious conse-
quences.
The accident happened at the center
light on the Sixteenth street viaduct while
Ferdinand was reaching out over the rail-
ing to examine a small tear in the insula
tion. Ferdinand put two fingers or the
wire, and then just laid his other hand
on the iron railing of the viaduct. That
all he did. Patrolman Good saw the boy
thrown to the boards after he touched
the wire and ran to his assistance. When
the boy had suficiently, recovered from the
shock he was sent to the police station
for medical examination, He complained
Of feeling sleepy and sick at the stomach
and said that when he touched the railing
he felt a great shock run toward his
heart and saw sparks at his fingers.
Lineman A. B. Morgan. who was sent
to examine the wire, said that $50 volts
were usually sufficient to cause death, and
that the arc light circuit carries as many
as 1000 at times.

browns WHILE in SWIMMING
Alexander MacLeRn, a Young scotch
man, Loses His Life In
Cut-On Lake.

Alexander MacLean. a clerk in the en-
ploy OF Thomas Fitzpatrick & Co., WAS
drowned shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon while in bathing at Cut-O lake
west Of Swift's icehouse. The body was
recovered an hour later and removed TO
the rooms Of the coroner. 1t is likely no
inquest will be held.
Mr.. went to the lake early IN
the afternoon in company with Robert
Rafin, also a clerk for Fitzpatrick & Co.
to fish, They secured a boat at Larsen's
bosthouse and after rowing to the center
OF the lake, between Lsrsen's and the Ice
house, fshed for an hour. Mr.. MacLean
thee took of his clothing and got into
the water for a swim. He made several
trips out into the water several yards dis
tant from the boat. and at the time Of the
drowning was about fifty yards from the
boat. He called to Mr.. Rafin for assist
ance. Rafin started the boat In the direc-
tion of the swimmer, and when within
about twenty-five yards of him the man
went down.. He did not come up.
Rafin gave the alarm and many came
from CORTLAND Beach to assist in the
search for the body. w. M Howard, r.
w. Peacock, p. H. Jasper and Albert
Palmer located IL in about an hour, and
with hooks and ropes brought 1t to shore
and notified the coroner. When found the
body was entangied in weeds in twelve
feet Of water.
The dead man was about 80 years Of
age and came to the United States from
Scotland eight years ago. He came 10
Omaha from Brooklyn aud for some years
was employed at the Boston store, about
three years ago going to Fitzpatrick & Co..
where he was employed in the dress goods
department. He has a brother in Havana,
Cuba, and two sisters in Glasgow, Scot
land. He was unmarried and had no rela-
tives in this country
Mr.. MacLean was popular among the
employees of the store and had a large
circle Of friends in the city. Many called
at the morgue last night to view the re-
mains. Mr.. Robert Cowell Of the firm of
Fitzpatrick & Co. said Of him: HE was
one Of the most popular and best-liked men
ever In the employ OF the firm. He was
honest, trustworthy and generous"
The firm will have charge Of the funeral
arrangements and will have the remains
inferred here, until the relatives are no.
tifed and instructions received from them.
The body was taken out on the Iowa
| shore and the coroner OF Pottawsttamie
county was notified by Coroner Bradley
He requested the coroner here to take
| charge OF the body and use his judgment
in regard to holding an inquest. 1t is
likely none will be held. The burial will
probably occur Thursday.
