VHE GREAl FIOTO SHOWS
Viii Be in WinnemuCCd Next
Week

Every night is lodge night and every
day is lodge day with the Great Floto
Shows, and at each performance new
candidates are inflated into the many
mysteries of the secret order composed
of the animal actors. who take part
in the many difficult acts presented
at each performance.
Can you imagine anything funnier
or more ludricious than herd of Afri-
can elephants, ranging in size from
the gigantic mamma, sixteen feet in
height, to the little baby. scarcely
three feet high. all mixed up together
in one joyous half hour of fun?
Well, such is the case with the ele-
phant members of this secret organi-
sation, and the many ridiculous things
The candidate is compelled TO do. and
the gauntlet he is compelled to run
during his initiation, reminds all hui
man lodge members of the night they
went through the trying ordeal of the
first degree.
This magnificent herd of elephants,
known as Herr Litzen's funny Dutch
elephants, and conceded to te the fun
nest elephants in the world, will be

Like the Great George

Lawrence Washington. great
great-grandnephew of George Wash
ngton. father of his country. has just
been assigned by the library of Con-
gress to take charge of the special ex-
hibit made by the institution at st.
Louis
Mr. Washington is the closest male
relative now surviving of the first
President. a fact of which he is un-
doubtedly proud. but he greatly dis
kes' the notoriety that his pi essence
provokes whe. ever he goes.
1t transspii es, too, that Mr. Wash
ington is almost a fac-simile of his
illustrious granduncle and has nearly
his Identical build. His cheekbones
are h gh and the arch of his brow
gives him a keen. pie. eng look.
Such wondei full likeness to the first
President does not exist elsewhere in
the flesh. The story is told of GER
tai novelist who used to go to the
libra y regularly and sit quietly in the
corner watching his features. The
sharp glance of his eye and the d g.
nifty expressed in his acuiline features
are so distinctly Washingtonian that
everybody who sees him is st>uck
by The figure.
Such is the man whom the library O.
Congress has appointed to take chargs
of a special department. at st. Louis
in VIII ch collections of Washington
books and autographs are made. and
he will probably remain the e during
the 81 eater part of the fair.
What an honor to have the shadow
cl such greatness resting upon one.
But, like all homo. In this curious
void. 1t is not without it's grievouS
annoyances to one who Is not In the
show bus ness.

SHOULD Be RUN OUT
OF THE State
The Shocking Revelations Dis
closed by Mrs. E.
lampe

Several days ago papers in divorce
slut were filed with County Clerk
Dunn, in which Mrs. Sophia Lampe
was accused by her husband. F.
Lampe. of having broken one Of the
most sacred of the ten commandments.
The part'es are residents of Love-
lock and a man named Johnson was
named as correspondent.
Yesterday afternoon MS. Lampe,
through her attorney. J. F. Dennis.
filed an answer and c: c:oss-complaint
the allegations of which, II true.
would put to blush the most hardened
resident of the State.
Mrs. Lampe was married to her
present husband in Oakland In 1891.
the fruits of that marriage being six
children, the eldest being twelve years
of age. while the youngest is but five
months old
In her cross-complaint she alleges
that while she is guilty of breaking
her marriage vows. she was forced to
do so by her husband for financial
gain. She ella ms that upon one occa-
sion he forcibly put her into the room
of one Alvin Henr.ckson and there
compelled her to remain. Upon an
other occasion, similar outrage was
perpetrated upon her. the party to the
action being one Ed Abrams.
The complaint fu ther alleges that
upon numerous other occasions she
was subjected to this most disgrace
full and unheardof treatment by the
man who had taken a most solemn
vow to love, che ish and honor.
She further alleges that her husband
now seeks divorce in order that he may
place her in house of illfame in
order to obtain money. not only for
the support of the children. but him.
