Three Stages & Three Rings
All. Used IN THE BARNUM & BAILEY
SHOW BESIDES A RACE
TRACK.

1 One can get good idea of the mag
nitude of the Greatest Show on Earth
by considering for q moment thai
three stages, three circus rings, and
race track are required TO exhibit the
100 acts. Besides these there are
any quantity Of aerial apparatus tc
enable the skilled artists to execute
the thrilling acts in the air which are
their spedialies Then there are two
menageries, an elephant pavilion with
three herds of big performing pachy-
derms, a drove of camels, cages OF wild
beasts, birds, monkeys, ETC., besides
all the curious led animals, llamas,
alpacas, guanacos, and many others.
And again there is most delightful
exhibition, which is performed In the
managerie-an exhibition OF a most
charming character executed by
magicians, jugglers, and queer must
clans, and by the old people In the col
lection of freaks. Aside from the people
who of themselves,a are great curiousi-
ties, the entertainment is most praise
worthy. The exhibition of living
curiosities given in the menagerie tent
is an excellent one bristling with pic
turesque episodes and living, acting
tableaux. Nearly 100 trained horses
perform t one time in three rings,
also presenting a really majestic
spectacle, while the performances of
the three herds Of elephants in three
rings are wonderful. The entire show
is one of exceptional merit and well
worth visit-in fail. it is worth 2
visits for no one can see it all in less.
All will he here on

johnson Bill Increases Rules Relating Il
d 49, Life Insurance Companies.

johnson Bill Increases Rules Relating to
Life Insurance Companies.
=, Senator C. A. johnson Of st. Peter does
not believe that the state insurance COM
missioner and the public generally are in
position to secure all desirable informa-
tion regarding the business Of life insur-
ance companies operating in this state,
and to pave the way for securing such
information, he has prepared a bill which
was introduced in the senate yesterday.
This bill Is an amendment Of section Z,
chapter 17S, general laws Of 1901. 1t pro-
vides that all new or amended bylaws
adopted by life insurance companies shall
in no wise affect existing contracts. An
other provision is that securities depos-
tied with the state treasurer by life in
SuranCe companies shall be accompanied
by a certificate from the insurance COM
missioner that the securities comply with
| the laws Of the state and the companies
against policies held by the company as
part Of their security. The radical fea-
lures Of the bill, however, relate to the
statements made by thes insurance com
panies to the insurance commissioner. In
addition to the many details already re-
quired to be reported, insurance compa-
MES are required to report the amount OF
their deposits held in banks, the amount
Of cash in the offices, the value Of real
estate loans, amount of their bonds and
shares of stock, with a description of the
same; the amount Of liens on policies, the
statement regarding losses, and many
other items, must be fully itemized. The
amount paid to beneficiaries must be re-
ported and a full record Of all liens. Fur
thermore, the companies are required to
make a complete report regarding COM
missions, salaries and expenses. In short,
the companies will be required to give
every detail that any person could possl-
bly, want to know.

This Is similar to the wide open
amendments fathered by, Judge Alley and
passed by the house at the extra. session
They were rejected by the senate and q
compromise conference resulted in the
very elaborate amendment submitted tc
the people. The sentiment of the house
is very strong for the wide open amend
ment and it is believed that the one drawn
by the sub committee will pass the house
with little or no amendment. The trouble
will come in the senate, where a number
Of the old senators are determined to
have the powers Of the legislature care
fully restricted.
The legislature adjourned over Sunday
at the close of today's session. The
house will meet again at ii a. m. Mon
day but reached general orders to-day
for the first time this session. The SEN
ate in committee Of the whole approved
the s1,5o00O0 appropriation for the new
capitol and the house recommended for
passage local bill affecting Scott county.
Resolutions are still the fashion in the
house. Mr.. Nelson introduced one to-day
calling for committee to audit the ac-
counts Of the state capitol commission,
which laid over under notice of debate
given by Mr.. Tighe. Mr.. Yoerg intro
duced a resolution seeking to reopen the
question Of the absorption by the North
ern Pacific Of the st. Paul & Duluth.
. The soldiers home committee of the
house with several other members visited
the soldiers home this morning. This
committee has before it bill allowing
inmates to retain their pension money
and the object Of this visit was to ac-
quaint the committee with the: merits OF
the controversy.
It is rlmored at the capitol that an.
other sugar beet bounty bill will be in
troduced in a short time. 1t will be tc
reimburse the Minnesota Sugar companx
of st. Louis Park to the extent of $2O, ,OO(
for bounties promised producers under
the old law. This bill was defeated two
years ago after hard fight and will
probably met with strong opposition this
year. =.

The flames from. the burning building
beat against the walls of the cigar factory,
causing a panic among the 500 men and
women and boys at work. There was a
wild rush for the fire escapes at the front
and rear ends Of the, building, in which
the weaker were. crushed and trampled by
the stronger. The men did not hesitate
to push the women, aside and when they
reached the second story, instead OF wait
ing for the ladders to be raised, pushed
the women off to the ground, about fifteen
feet and leaped themselves. In this way
many women were more or less injured.
The worst scenes however, were on the
stairway by which crowds Of the panic

the building T.. --~,.~~.lr.. ,,.~-. - -
The men shrieked as if mad and knock

STILL DRAGGING ON
The Coal Commission Begins Hear
ing From Thirty Independent
Operators To-day.
Lengthy Discussion as to Whether
Payment Should Be by Car
or by Weight.

Philadelphia, Jan. 23.-The independent
operators Of the upper coal fields began
calling witnesses to-day before the coal
strike commission. There are about
thirty Of these companies before the
commission. The first witness called was
Howell Harris of Scranton, a mining en-
gineer employed at the National colliery
of the William Conneu Coal company.
He has observed mining in the bitum-
inous fields and said that work in TIE
anthracite regions is heavier than in the
soft coal country, but the cramped posi-
ton in which the soft coal miners must
work in the bituminous districts is more
firing on the miner. The witness said
social surroundings are better in the
hard coal fields than III the bituminous
regions. The Connell company, he said
has no black list.
He said the discipline Of the men since
the advent Of the union was not good
There was no restriction Of the output OF
coal. On the other hand, the company
can handle more coal than the men will
mine.
Some of the coal veins of the company
are from two feet to two and a half feet
thick These, the witness said, are diff
cult to mine. If an advance of wages
is granted the cost of mining these thin
veins would be so increased as to make
the business improbable. In that case
these thin veins, which contain about
1000, 600, tons Of pure coal, would have
to be abandoned.
Miners counsel thought the testimony
regarding the alleged inability Of the
companies to pay higher wages is not
relevant because that issue was not before
the commission. At Scranton the com
mission would not hear the sides Of the
miners in the wage question because. they
assume the companies can pay fair. wages
Chairman Gray said the testimony
should go in for what it is worth. He
thought modern science would find a. way
to mine this coal at small cost. If not
in this generation then in the next.
A lengthy discussion between counse
on both sides and the commission as tc
whether miner should be paid by the
car or weight, or by the. lineal or cubic
yard. then ensued' and the witness was
examined exhaustively on the subject

Blasts had been prepared by the night
crew in the eastern end of the heading,
and Day Foreman Florence had gone in
with Night Foreman Taylor to see what
had been done. With the foremen were
four workmen. AS the party was going
toward the charges Of dynamite, some one
up at the top Of the shaft turned on the
electrical current without notication, and
when Taylor, who carried the wires, in

BLANKET BALLOT BILL
Senator Thorpe Will Propose a Primary


Senator Thorpe VIII Propose Primary
Law Amendment.
The legislature will once more have to
determine whether voters at the primaries
should be required to declare their party
affiliations. Senator Thorpe promises to
introduce an amendment to the law, pro-
viding for the blanket ballot such as was
used in Minneapolis in 1900, with all can
didates of all parties on the one ballot.
The voter will be required to put a cross
at the head. opposite the name Of the par
ty with which he desires to affiliate, and
must confine his voting to that party.
otherwise it will not be counted. This
will compel a voter to choose his party,
but will relieve him from making a public
declaration.
The Thorpe bill will also provide that at
state conventions the delegates shall sep
arate by congressional districts and pre-
pare platforms on which their candidates
shall run. 1t will not change the date
of primaries, but will require independ-
ent candidates to declare themselves at
least thirty days before election.

His Wrist as Result of Fenc-

Washington, Jan. 2S.-President Roose-
velt at the reception to the judiciary last
night, was compelled to extend his left
hand in greeting his guests, because of an
accident in a fencing bout with General
Wood. " - ~, a"
A few days ago, in one of their daily
bouts, the president received a blow upon
the wrist. The president soon found that
the soreness and stiffness were not due
to a bruise, and had his wrist examined
under the x-rays. It was found that a
small bone had been fractured. The ply
sicians are confident that in a few days
the hand will be in good shape again.
This is the second injury the president
has suffered as the result Of fencing with
General Wood. : Not many days ago he
received bruise over the eye.
