CHICAGO Shy In Taxes.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-In ten years the
city of Chicago has lost $5610,00O II
uncollected taxes. A report showing
this and declaring the tax assessing
and collecting methods of the county
full of errors, abuses and mysteries
has been placed in the hands of Comp
troller Mccain, by expert account
ants who have been examining the
books of the county treasurer. Dur
ing ten years the accountants assert
that the collections of delinquent per
sonal property taxes amounted to only
$4,000. until an investigation of the
books were begun, and then the coun
ty authorities were able to collect $15,
900 In a month. 1t is asserted also
that the county authorities have made
a practice of accepting partial pay
ments as payment in full without
showing by their records why reduc
ton was allowed.

BOSTOCK is COMING
WITH HIS ANIMALS.
Best Feature of Carnival Is
Secured.
AMERIcus GETS THE MENAcERIE
Finest Animal Show In the World
viii Be a Feature of the Elks Fair
Deal Closed Yesterday and the
Show Is Coming Here.

The great Bostock wild animal show,
one of the finest collections of savage
beasts in existence, is to be one of the
chief features of the Americas street
fair next week and, in itself, will at
tract hundreds of visitors to the Elks
big street fair.
The contract for the Bostock show
was closed yesterday by Mr.. G. e.
Fields, chairman of the Elks commit
tee on entertainment.
And it was bit of rare good luck. that
Americas gets this fine attraction.
The Bostock show is In Columbis,
s. G. this week, delightIng thousands
there.
Learning of the Elks carnival here
next week the company's agent wired
proposition to come here. The
terms were accepted and a favorable
reply sent, and Americus thus gets the
Bostock show though it costs the Elks
pretty penny.
And Americas Will have the big
menagerle for a whole week.
The Bostock show has national
reputation, and has entertained tens
of thousands of visitors. It contains
the finest species of wild and trained
animals of any show that travels, ex-
cept perhaps the big circuses of the
country.
And thousands of visitors will see
the fine animals here, and have plenty
of time to see the show.
The Bostock show will be located on
the vacant lot in front of the The
Windsor, occupying the greater part of
the space, and there the crowds can
see the lions, tigers, leopsrdP, bears
and hundred others of the family of
rare wild animals.
Great will be the Elks Fair, with It's
Luudred attractions.

CARRIED AN ENORMOUS CROWD
Five Thousand People to Columbus

The old Central Road of Georgia"
has again demonstrated the fact that it
can handle a multitude of people, and
do 1t in safety. On the first day of the
reunion in Columbus the Central's doz-
en- trains, regulars and specials, carried
5,351 people to that city. Two special
trains were run from Americus by the
Contra, one of these carrying 210 and
the other 295 passengers, while the
Central's "Veterans Special" from
Albany, via Americus, handled ATT
passengers, many of them Americas
people. But even with three trains
there was not room for all Large
numbers of people along the B. V. &
E brancr, who wanted to go to Colum-
bus, couldn't. 1t is said that one of
the trains on this last-named line did
not even stop at some of the most i'm
portant stations, for the simple reason
that every foot of available space on
board was already taken up.
