WILD ANIMAL SHOW.

An attraction of novel interest will be presented every arIernoon and even ing next WeeA at Polls, when Bostock's S Trained Wild Animal Arena will be shown. In the collection of animals that are introduced in the performance are shown beasts of all descriptions from the fierce untamed lion to the do- cile and drowsy donkey, making an at traction of rare interest. The animals are brought here fresh from a triumph ant run of four months at the St Nich- olas Garden in New York city, where both the press and public bestowed on them unrestricted praise. The acts are all practically new to this country and were imported by Mir Bostock especial ly for this show. Some of the many interesting features which are special ly commendable are Prof Arnoldo's group of wild leopards, jaugars and pumas, whom the professor governs with as much ease as a chaffeur does his auto. Mime Barlow with her lions has one of the most daring and thrill ing acts ever. shown Popular prices will prevail during the entire perform ance.

upon cliff. Then, what was supposed by critics of the scheme to be an in superable difficulty, the possibility of messages in mid-air being tapped, was got over by the marvellous system of tuning. Thisfopens the way. 1t is said, to the installation of the wireless sys- tenn for land purposes, seeing that the variation of tunings are so infinitely numerous that every ship at sea and every business place and dwelling on land can have its private wire.
 All this rather points to the trans oceanic cables, upon the whole system of which some $45o 1000 ,o00 have been in- vested, being rendered of less value But MT. Marconi tells us that we are to anticipate no i'll result to these for some time, that rather the wireless will aid the wired system, inasmuch as the one may create work for the other. There are still problems to face. For example, in the case of several of the stations being together, it might hap pen that powerful transmitter giving off waves might prevent other stations receiving messages. Then it is found that messages transmitted during the daytime are less easily decipherable than those sent at night. owing, it is supposed, to the diselectrifcation at the very highly charged transmitting elevated conductor. This has to be met by the employment of extra sending energy during the daytime. Also there is that interesting point as to whether Ia number of messages can be sent by the new method simultaneously over the same course. We are bound to see great developments within the next few months, and the period is one full of absorbing interest as well for the ordinary business man as for the ex- pert and the scientist.

A melodrama Of more than usual at tractiveness 4s ''The Convict's Daugh- ter which Is to play a special return engagement at Polls tomorrow after noon and evening, and there is every reason to expect that it will have an other very successful engagement. Special attention is directed to the scenic splendors and startling realism. The great sensational scene is a jail yard where conyicts are at work re- building wall beside a railroad. In this scene-one of the greatest ever witnessed-a locomotive and twenty freight cars cross the stage. As the train passes the wall one of the con- victs, standing on the top stones, leaps for liberty to the roof of the car. A guard fires but misses and the prisoner is soon free. The convict is a Weary Willie," who finally becomes wealthy and happy, his innocence being proven by the confession of the dying murder. er, who leaves him all his property. His daughter marries the man whom she has loved and waited for for many years. Prices are popular.

 Presently the beagle caught the glance of the young woman and slowly and deliberately closed ehis 3eft eye in Cissy Loftus wink. The young wom- an just as slowly and deliberately re- turned the wink, whereupon the dog opened his mouth and, stretched his lips in good imitation of broad smile
 The smile was answered by the hand some girl, who then turned to her escort and said something He replied, probably saying that she must be mis- taken, for she said loud enough to be heard by the passenger who sat on the other side of her:
 .'He did. I'll try it again. Now you watch
 Then she turned and bestowed upon the dog a most taking wink. The dog responded as before and several pas sengers,who had heard the young wom- an say Watch followed suit as to the smile. Just then the mistress of the animal arose to leave the car and the beagle trotted after her.
 Lucky he's only dog, though" said the young woman's escort. But I admire bis taste.''
 As he said this the dog, near the rear of the car, paused and took lick with his tongue at the blacling on mans shoe. The young woman laughed at her escort and said: x < ssSo I see.' v

 The mortgage was sold to third party for s95o, and he gave his check for this amount on a Shelby county bank. The check was cashed st Belle Center and the money turned over to the operators. According to Roebuck he was to receive $5,OOO in cash for his mortgage. They were to deposit the green goods in bank and secure drafts for the amount. The drafts were then to be indorsed to Roebuck, thus relieving him of any trouble in getting rid of the stuff. But the drafts were never delivered and Roebuck is still out.
 Roebuck says that an oath, awful in it's character, was taken by him, and the penalty for violating it was fixed to mean the same fate which befell Aaron Birt. Birt was murdered at Lakeview during December.

There is always some- thing for him to be learning. The mora notable his discovery the greater the horizon opened to him. The method of directing and controlling etheric waves was followed by the discovery of a way to receive the signals so sent forth.
 i But this could be done only over short distance. The curvature of the earth was at first barrier in the way of long-distance messages. So the kite flying high, and afterwards, lofty rnasts, were employed. Both of these in turn were modified. The tall mast, 1t is now found, is unnecessary for the reason that the mysterious ether upon which the scientist depends, follows the curve of the earth, and message comes as docilely to a receiver placed at the level of the water as one exalted
