HADIOBUCK THE MUD
Forepaugh-sells Circus Forces Had
to Contend With Serious
Obstacles.
Elephants Were Called Into Play
and Hard Work Finally
Triumphed.

All is not gold that glitters and neither
is circus life an unbroken succession Of
sunshine and spangles-as the Forepaugh-
Sells show was well able to demonstrate
day.
The big show ran into the bad luck
belt at Hudson Wis, yesterday and was
tied UP by a washout just long enough to
cause it to miss the afternoon perform
ance in st. Paul. That cost $4,000, and
the presence Of some 10000 people at the
evening performance did not entirely as
suage the arrangements grief. Then the
rain Of last night so resoaked the show
grounds that big wagons were hub deep
in mud and the night was spent in weep
ing and wailing and guashing Of teeth
or what stands for 1t iN the circus bust
ness.
That meant delayed arrival IN Mime.
apolis and more rain meant another bad
lot" From o'clock this morning until
well toward noon men shouted, horses
.tugged, elephants pushed and wagons
sank into hub-deep mud, while a, fine rain
fell, and the weather conditions were
about as far from ideal show weather as
the history Of any one season affords.
But In spite of every obstacle, natural
and artificial, and in spite of the necessity
of canceling the performance scheduled
canvases from "cookhouse" to tbig top
were in place by3A11s o'clock and athe pa
rade was winding Its way in; all it's glory
thru the down town streets. And in
spite Of threatening clouds and recent dis
asters, there was no detail In the mile
or SO of free exhibition omitted and the
waiting and expectant thousands along the
route were more than satisfied. n.
With everything to contend against
there was nothing amiss with the show
from front door to dressing-room, when
the crowds began to come at o clock, and
altho weather conditions were against the
circusmen, all paths led to the show
grounds at Fourth avenue and Thirty
saw the sights of the f1fty-den nnenagerie
and one Of the most complete circus per
| formances ever given in Minneapolis.
There were riders of two continent
fame and trained horses Of all manner
of excellence and all the usual features
Of a modern circus were on the program
Then there were the "great feats Of dar-
| ing" which were daring and nothing else
and included Diavolo and the famous looI
the loop; Minting with his ascent of the
| spiral on a single bicycle wheel and
| Starr, who shoots down long ladder
| whilst mounted on an ordinary bicycle.
But the features which won from the
audience the most applause were the
Seven Flying Eddys who toss each othe,
about. in the dome of the canvas in 8
fashion to encourage the custom o,
wearing the pompadour; the Aurora Zou
ayes, who for five years have represented
the greatest achievement In military
| training, and the Zaynelas, who. show
something decidedly new in the cycle
| whirl.
The evening performance will begin a
8 clock.

MORE OF THE WHITE

Out. 1.

St Paul smeared another. tubful Of
whitewash over the Minneapolis ball team
at Nicollet park this morning. The cere-
mony was performed in the mud in the
presence Of about 400 persons. It was a
slow affair. Stewart, the st. Paul pitch,
err earned a shut out game and but for
the slippery field would have been credited
with a 'no-hit victory fully earned. The
mud, however, caused Scha efer to slip and
fall In going after Ludwigs roller In the
second inning. The Dutchman made a
beautiful stop, but landed on the seat Of
his knickerbockers and from this position
was not able to get the ball to first, there

Vasbinder was hit, for seven singles, a

AFFECTS MILK SHIPPERS
Farmers Who Send MIX and Cream to
il Cities Must Have
Licenses,

Hundreds Of dairy farmers have neg
lected to comply with the provisions Of
the new dairy law, which requires a
license from all wholesalers of milk and
cream, as we'll as from the retailers. AS
the law is drawn, any person sending milk
in any vehicle to be sold in city Of over
1000 Inhabitants, must take out a license
on May Of each year and pay 81. This
will reach those farmers who ship their
milk and cream daily on the milk trains
to the city creameries, which retail it to
the people. Strictly speaking, under the
law. these people are wholesalers.
The law was so drawn with a purpose,
for 1t enables the authorities to keep track
of the city milk supply and to run down
those who may furnish low grade or i'm :
pure milk and cream 1t has been almost
impossible before to keep track of the
shippers from distance.
Those who have not secured a license
are liable to a fine of $50 to 500.

A BETTER LOG SUPPLY
There Is More Water In the River and
Drives Are Boom

Rain may be bad for circuses and
horse shows, but it Is great thing from
the standpoint of the lumber manufac-
turers. The low water in the river up to
the present rainfall made a dismal out
look for the saving season owing to the
inability Of the saw mills to get logs.
The heavy rainfall in the river has created
a good depth in the river. and the only
fear now is that the water may rise too
high, which condition would be. almost
as bad as low water. R. H. Chute man
ager of the Mississippi Valley Boom COM
pany, said yesterday that he had no
doubt but that his company would be
able to supply all the logs needed from
now on. He explained that the spring
rains had not extended far enough north
to offset the reservoirs, and that the
usual reserve supply had been missing
until the present heavy rainfall.

Since Minneapolis outgreW the village
class and became a great city, there has
seldom been so quiet Fourth of July
as to-day. Occasional cannon crackers
were fired but the torpedo canes and
wofor-five firecrackers furnished the
greater part of the noise. 4, A marked de-
crease was apparent in the number OF
blank cartridgesrevolvers. Mayor Haynes
pronuciamento, supplemented by the an
nouncement Of Superintendent of Police
Ed j. Conroy that persons using revolvers
and blank cartridges would be promptly
arrested, resulted in this sort Of amuse-,
ment being largely abandoned. Thise who
had planned to celebrate in that way So
cured torpedo canes instead, or went out
side the city limits with their revolt
vers.
Plain clothes men on duty in the down
town district last night conf1scated doz-
en- or more revolvers. The weapons were
taken to central police station to be held
until Monday, when they will be turned
over to their owners. Six revolvers were
taken from as many st. Paul people who
had just alighted from an interurban
street car. and who started to celebrate
in W\1 west style
The usual number Of amusing scenes
occurred on the street. but the funniest
of them all was the action of young
man who secured a fake firecracker of
gigantic size and, feigning drunkenness.
frightened several persons nearly out of
their wits by making believe that he was
going to fire the thing in the street.
A Celebration In jail.
At Central police station were sorry
lot of men and boys arrested last night
and this morning. None of them had
money for bail and there will be no
police court until Monday. All Of them
were arrested for drunkenness with the
exception Of W. H. Newman, who was
arrested by Officer Huskins for firing a
revolver within the city limits, and Julius
Barfeldt, who was caught by Patrolman
Peter Fox just as he was placing a nice
pile Of illuminate on the Central avenue
street car tracks. ~
Two small. boys, aged about 10 years,
one held for parents and the other for
larceny, were locked up IN the children s
ward and were unable to have any cele-
brat1on of their own. Permission was
secured from the police matron, and a
couple Of newspaper men bought the boys
a quantity of small torpedos: They were
during the afternoon kept the walls of
the station reverberating with the echoes
of the torpedoes. So s
The mayors order prohibiting the
placing of explosives on street car tracks
was enforced in the down town district;
but from several residence sections com
plants were received that men and boys
were placing illuminate on the street
tracks. On the Kenwood line between
Girard and Knox, two young men were
loading the car tracks with explosives
and Detective Morrissey was dispatched
