 State papers are congratulating Bir- mingham on the success of her big fair. Not even the Barnum & Bailey circus could dim it's luster, and now that 1t Is over we can look forward with interest to the time for it to come again.

 Senator W. A. Clark of Montana has hauled out his inexhaustible check book and offered to settle the copper strike at Butte by buying in toto the cause of all the trouble MT. Clark does not be- lieve in. doing things by halves and his proposition brought results in the form of wild excitement and enthusiasm. Should MT. McGinnis decide to accept the offer of the senator and his friends to sell out his stock in the Boston and Montana company it will probably mean speedy settlement of the strike. So far no definite action has been taken, but the Clark checkbook is a powerful factor Being himself copper king of renown MT. Clark is thoroughly compe- tent to take hand in the present trou- hle, and if he succeeds in bringing order out of chaos he will be subject for much additional newspaper notoriety.

A rumor spread abroad that an edict had been issued by Herr Conried that every member of the Metropolitan opera house orchestra should have his beard whiskers, or moustache shaved off before the opera season opened.

IT will be interesting to Birmingham
 people to know that Miss Alberta ! Gallatin, who recently appeared here in Ibsens sensational play entitled Ghosts" has been refused honorary membership by the Virginia Daughters of the Confectionery. Miss Gallatin is an hon orary member of Pickett Buchanan camp. United Confederate Veterans, of Norfolk. but the Daughters have their own ideas about such matters and since the actress chooses to appear in a play which they consider immoral they have accordingly turned her down." Southern people have been much wrought up over Ghosts" and wherever presented 1t has created an immense sensation. Perhaps we are more shocked at it's awful revela- tions than an eastern audience would be- We are naturally stricter in our notions and, especially in the smaller towns, we are not so accustomed to seeing plays of the problem type. Since it is the charac- ter of the actress and not the part she plays which really counts there should not be any great objections to Miss Galla- tin for appearing in Ghosts" Virginia Daughters seemed to have overlooked the fact that she is a great actress. Miss Gal latin is daughter of General Albert Gal latin, who was a distinguished figure of the civil war.

Fearing that certain complications be- tween his subjects and the Roman Cath ollie church might arise King Alfonso has decided not to pay his intended visit to the vatican. The king caused inquiries to be made regarding the probable re- ception that would be accorded him and learned that Plus does not look with any great favor on the project. Should the pope refuse to receive Alfonso 1t would no doubt create a very unfavorable inn pression among the Spanish Catholics and on this account the young monarch will not grace Rome with his presence On the other hand he has about decided to go to Gay Paris instead, where he will no doubt be able to have a much more lively time. Now that all unpleasantness has passed away the Spanish king would be pleasing visitor to the United States. We would be able to get some idea of his interesting personality and would certain ly receive him just as cordially as if there had never been a war. In fact our peo- pie would outdo themselves for the very reason that the two nations have had little brush.

MANY AT SHOW
The Parade was Good and the
Performance Could Not
Be Surpassed.

Daily Union, Junction City,
Kan. Campbell Brothers bic
show came in early this morning
from Mcpherson, Whereit showed
yesterday to a large, satisfied
audience. About 1880 the parade
took place and it Was Witnessed
by an enormous crowd OF people,
much larger, in fact, than was
expected. Washington street
was lined with people on both
sides. People We're present from
all parts of the county eager to
see the parade and attend the
performances. The parade was
much better than the people eN-
pected to see, and as a/result the
attendance at the Show in the
afternoon was very large. Be
fore the performance commenced
it seemed that every seatspwas
occupied, which is saying a good
deal when it is known that Camp
bell Brothers main tent is an
affair. What's more,
everybody seemed to have got
their moneys worth and was well
satisfied withthe performance.
One/nice thing about this circus
was the absence of the usual
troop of falSirs and gamblers.
The people at the head Of this big
Show are gentlemen, aud they
,havea show tllateverybody wants
to see. This evening a larger
attendance is expected than even
this afternoon.
Campbell Brothers show will
exhibit in Bemidji on July !.

MORE NUMEROUS
Claimed That Number Of Fish
ermen Is Larger
This Year.

The Duluth Evening Herald has
the following to say on the fishing
fever this year:
FISHERMEN are more numer-
Gus and more enthusiastic this
year than during any season
within my remembrance, said a
well-known local follower of
Isaac Walton. every Sunday
and every holiday you can see
scores of anglers leaving on
trains in all directions to speud
the day in searching the cool
depths for the beauties, and the
st. Louis river from here up to
Fond du Lac is dotted with small
boats containing eager anglers
for pike and picherel.
s'This renewed interest in the
noble sport is good thing for
the people of the city. In no
way can spare time be better
spent than in roaming the woods
and gaining some idea of the
beauties of nature. Fishing is
the best possible relaxation for
the business man or the city
resident, whatever be his occu-
patton, and northern Minnesota
has some Of the most beautiful
spots that can be found any
where out doors. Some day the
people will begin to realize this
fact, and then you will see the
lake country to the north and
west develop into great. sum
mer resort. .
