Prospects For a Most Success.
full Carnival Grow Brighter
Day by Day
WILL MAINTAIN HIGH STANDARD
Management Determined That Nothing
But the Very Best Shall be Allowed
-Maximus, the Man Who Throws an
Ok, secured-Daily Balloon Assem-
sion-The Trick Bill Board.

The Marshalltown Carnival in Sep
TENDER will be an unqualified success,
at least in the character and number
of it's attractions, there is no room for
doubt Every day the prospects grow
brighter and brighter. and If the
weather man is good to US during the
ever brought together in Marshalltown
will be here, provided clean, excellent
attractions will draw them.
During the past few months. the
carnival management have been food
ed with letters from those who desire
to bring exhibitions here. OF these Il
large number have been turned down,
as investigation has shown that they
are amateurish, commonplace or yul-
gar, or in other particulars fell short
of the high moral and artistic standard
set for this years carnival.
Those which appealed to the manage
ment as possessing all the elements
necessary for a carnival of the very
highest quality have been booked, the
cost being entirely second consid-
GRAFTON, and negotiations with others
are still pending.
The public has already been Informed
regarding some OF those that have al
ready been contracted, but some of the
most important the management have
yet to announce.
Among these is Maximus, the cham
pion bull wrestler and heavy litter of
the world. We all admire exhibitions
of Drawn and muscle that do not verge
upon the cruel or barbarous, and in
the feats Of Maximus the public will
find much of interest. This powerful
man, with his bare hands and by main
strength, throws full grown OK to the
ground in the full presence of the aud
fence, without in any way injuring the
animal This is not bull fight, in any
shape or manner. 1t is simply a test
of strength. Another of his marvellous
feats is to lift large, upright piano,
upon which are two dancing girls while
the third plays the instrument ana
with one or two adults hanging on each
arm, ana from sixteen 10 twenty OlherS
fastened to his back, walks across a
stage, carrying the entire weight.
For the edification of those who love
deeds of daring, the famous Baldwin
Brothers, have, at great expense. been
secured to make daily balloon ascen-
sions from in front of the grand stand.

The mysterious trick billboard" that
has made millions roar with laughter,
is another of the decided novelties that
will be presented for the amusement of
the public in the big, free show. This is
the original conception of those silent
comedians, those eccentric acrobats
and unique equilibrists, White and
Lamart, and is one of the most puz-
zling and hilarious acts ever introduce

This brief mention Of only a few of
the new bookings will demonstrate the
sleepess efforts of the management to
provide a carnival that will be worthy
the patronage Of every one. Other
bookings will be announced in due
time.-Adv.

STRANDED FOUR DAYS.
Young Canadian Robinson crusoes.


A couple of young Canadians had an
accident to their canoe. and were left
upon a small uninhabited island for
four days before help came, during
which time they had nothing to eat
but couple of packages of Grape
Nuts.
In telling the story one of them said:
"There was quite party of us and we
prepared to spend a jolly time hunt
ing in Muskoka. I provisioned the
party and among other supplies laid in
a stock of Grape Nuts food of which I
am very fond.
"One day we left camp to paddle to
the nearest steamer landing, twelve
miles away. Just as we pushed Off one
of our companions threw into the canoe
two packages of Grape-Nuts and can
of condensed milk, saying: Leave
these at Verne's with our compli-
ments, they were wishing they had

half the distance when it began to

SO we turned our frail boat towards
small island and padded with all our
might to gain this shelter Heavy rain
began to fall and we drove the boat
ashore with more haste than caution,
and in doing so struck q sunken log
and tore a large hole in the light canoe
We scrambled ashore and hauled the
boat up after US, and a nice plight We
were in.

a Quarter of an acre, and out OF the
track of steamers; hole foot long in
orr boat with neither tools nor mater
ials to repair it, no shelter except some
big trees and our canoe, and no food eN-
cent the Grape Uuts and milk.
For four long, dreary days we wait
ed and hoped for help, and finally our
friends missed us and organized a
search party, and found us on the bare
little island.
GAS we had no fishing tackle we
could not fish. and not having fire we
could not cook. But we had three meals
a day on Grape-Nuts and condensed
milk and when rescued we We're none
tha worse for our experience. Thanks
to the Grape Nuts on which we had

Seen From the Grand Stand.
While Kent is the least experienced
of the three pitchers. the game he
throwed was nevertheless a good one.
The fact that he hit three men in two
instances was an old batting trick
rather than any fault of his. The
Knockers club in the audience,
which thought he should be displaced,
would lend support to the team If it
were more loyal to a player who is
putting up a stiff game.
Bovee's hit into deep left was prob
ably as long a drive as has been seen
on the local diamond this year.
Prompter fielding would have held him
at tntfu.
Salisbury's throwing Of Bovee's hit
into right field in the eighth inning
was a piece of prompt work, when it
looked safe.
r. Scott shut out the team in the last
inning with as pretty a catch of Smiths
drive as could be imagined. Even the
fans" thought 1t safe and good for tie
ing the score.

the Chinese quarter, where it is again
stopped, for the Chinese wall is too
strong even for the Italians. On
the northwest the Ghetto creeps
along the shores of the bay to North
Beach and under the brow of Rus
sian hill. This is their only outlet,
but they are crowding the older set
tiers further outward, for no other
peoples will live where the Ghetto
extends it's lines. The Italians most
ly are engaged in the fruit and fish
canneries and in fishing in the bays
and rivers. Also in the manufac-
ture of their favorite macaroni and
kindred dishes. In the canneries,
gardening, and fishing for salm-
on and shrimp, the Ghettoites
are strongly competing with the
Chinese and have practically monop-
olized these branches of industry.
Like the Chinese, the Ghettoites
do not assimilate with other races,
and hence are not as desirable citi-
zens, especially as comparatively lit
tie of the money they earn is invest
ed III this country. About 1000 of
these people are engaged in the fish

BURGLAR STRANGELY ROUTED
He Couldn't See Anything Dangerous,
But He Heard Enough to Scare
Him Out.

A burglar was recently sentenced to
one Of the upstate prisons after an
experience SO narrowing that his cap
ture by his natural enemies, the po-
lice, was almost relief. In company
with his partner the burglar entered
. house in which the residents appar-
emily were buried in peaceful SUM
Der. Now, this particular burglar
rather prides himself on his profess
sional skill. Accordingly, he directed
his ''paH' to watch outside while he
himself attended to the fine points of
the burglary, relates the New York
Tribune.
All went well until the burglar en-
tered room on the second floor, in
which was a man apparently sleeping
on the bed. Then came a hoarse whis-
per:
"Here, you come out and tend to
this"
As the whisper seemed to come from
the hall, the burglar thought his part
ner had intruded in most unjustifi-
able manner to instruct him on bur-
glary as fine art. He tiptoed toward
the hall, intending to rebuke the pre-
sumptuous partner and inform him
that it was burglary, not night
school, which was in progress. But
near the door of the room he was halt
ed by gruff voice:
"Back up there, or I'll fill you with
holes"
Thoroughly terrified, the burglar
Iar.ed back into the room, at the

with fish. They have fishing camp
near the wharf, and there dry and
prepare their catch of shrimp for
the market. They run their craft
up into the lagoons and islets and
fish out of season, where it is diff
cult for officers of the law to find
them. In this they are as shrewd as
the Chinese and are about as trou-
blesome to the fish commissioners.
The Ghetto is the Oldest settled
portion of San Francisco. The town
was located at the base of the hill
near the shipping, while the Latin
element swarmed upon the hill. No
traces of the early town remain, but
the Ghetto is about as it was then,
only much more extensive. Here are
seen antiquated cottages, with high
pitched roofs, and oyerhanging caves
that nearly meet across the narrow
alleys and almost shut out the sun
light, doors below the level of the
streets, and others that are reached
by narrow rickety stairways, filthy
streets into which everything is
thrown, regardless of the menaces
of the superintendent of streets, and
tenement houses with little or no
ventilation, rocking with the odor of
garlic, onions and decayed fish, and
whose occupants resist all attempts
of the health officer to purify the
surroundings. From 3 distance the

same time making a motion as If to
draw his revolver. The man on the
bed still seemed to be sleeping peace
fully, but from the semigloom of one
of the corners of the room came the
warning:
make another move of that sort,
and I'll drop you. I've got you COW
cred"
And then came the deep, threaten
ing growl a bulldog gives before he
makes his spring. The growl seemed
to come from under the burglar svery
feet. 1t was no time to parley. He
made wild dash across the room,
plunged through the window, alight-
ed on the roof of little shed, and
rolled to the ground in the back yard.
Picking himself up, the terrified thief
scrambled over the fence and sped
up an alley. His partner, startled at
his sudden exit, but realizing that it
was not the time for cross-examina-
ton, darted off in another direction.
1t was certainly fated to be an UNI
lucky night for this particular bur-
glar. At the intersection of the alley
up which he was fleeing and the first
street he encountered policeman,
who had heard the crash of the break
ing glass. The policeman wished the
burglar to stop ana explain. The bur-
glar refused this request. A short
argument ensued. The policeman, by
the use of his club, persuaded the bur-
glar that logic was on his side. He
even prevailed on the burglar to ac-
company him to the nearest police
alton.
It was not until the case was called
up in the police court that the I'M
fortunate burglar learned the cause
of his undoing. In the house which
he had entered there lived a profess
sional ventriloquist. And the ventril-
ouuist was awake when the burglar
entered his room.
'Now, wouldn't that jar a man?'
sighed the unlucky burglar, when he
realized what had caused his woes.
"Some folks can get all the hard luck
that amt chained down. A ventrilo-
quist Gee, when l heard that growl
l thought 1 was against the real thing
in the way of bulldogs"

Where Woman Is the Boss.

There is a remarkable community
in Abyssinia where the women, with
out holding meetings Or agitations of
any kind, have emancipated them
selves, says Golden Penny. All the
women work hard, while the men are
idle; but by way of compensation the
house and all it contains belong to
the wife. At the least unkind word
she turns the husband out at night,
in storm or rain, and he cannot come
back until he makes amends by the
gift of a cow. The wife considers it
duty to abuse the husband, and if
she were weak enough to show any
love for him in life or grief at his
death, she would be scorned by her
tribe. The wife, without any reason,
may strike her tent and go, taking
with her one-third of the joint posses
sions. The husband, unless he is
travelling, may not live out of his
tent
