The spartanburg, (s. O.. Herald has been joilying The Advertiser on it's edi.
 torial about legs some weeks ago, and concludes this way:
 We think, perhaps, the editor of The Advertiser is fearful lest his own lower appendages, which he keeps stuck too much under the table, may become atro- phied. If so, he IS not unreasona ble. There are others-thousands of then--and the crusade for the strenuosity of legs to prevent race suicide among that irn- portant member of society is not untirne ly. We would join it.
 The esteemed Herald must learn to d;f- ferentiate between desks and tables. The Advertisers editorial legs are under the editorial desk a good many hours out of each twenty-four. but they have but It, tie time to rest under the table, While we do not take our meals standing-as a general thing--there's too much work to do to allow much dawdling when we eat. These legs are not going to disappear from lack of exercise

SOME STARTLING ACTS.
They Will Be Witnessed in Norris &
ROWe'S Circus.

One hundred new and startling acts is
what the new Norris & Rowe Greater
Shows advertise this season, and as they
have in the past fully fulfilled all
promises made, all can readily believe
the assertion. Norris & Rowe are the
most progressive and liberal managers
before the public today, and the reason
lis not difficult to find. They are young,
energetic, and above all ambitious and it
takes these qualities to make the modern
Snowman of large ideas. The public
profits by this ambition for each sue
ceeding reason witness public getting
more and more for its money, and at no
increased cost of admission. This sea-
son complete train of twenty cars is
utilized to carry the vast army of aero
bats, jugglers, equilibrists, riders, dens
of cages of rare wild animals, the train
ed elephants, ponies, horses and all the
material that goes to make up the mod
ern big circus. Norris & Rowe will give
two exhibitions at Mankato, Saturday,
July 80.

PUT UP A GOOD CARD.
Splendid Racing on Sibiey Track
Yesterday Afternoon.
From Fridays Daily.


1t was joint matinee day yesterday
afternoon between st. Peter and Manka-
to at Sibley park. A large crowd gath
cred and the weather was ideal.
The first race was the free-for-all
pace in half mile heats. Exposition
drew the pole, Marion Lockhart second,
o. X. third, Articulate fourth and Ella
F. fifth positions. This heat was good
horse racing all the way round, Marion
Lockhart, a four year old, winning, with
Articulate a good second and the balance
punched close up. The time in this
heat was Loo. In this heat Marion
Lockhart kept on the full mile and
finished in 2:27. The second heat did not
take quite as many scores. Marion
Lockhart was drawn, leaving. four in the
field Articulate had the pole at the
word. Ella F, who was we'll back, went
after the bunch and the way she ate up
space was fierce, but, unfortunately,
rounding the lower turn, her bike col
lapsed and she was out of the racing
for that heat. Articulate won handily
with Exposition and O. X. making
grand fighting finish for the place, which
was secured by Exposition by very
narrow margin. In the last heat of this
race hopes and anticipations ran high
and were blasted. The speed shown by
Ella F had so electrified the crowd that
the next heat seemed to be all over but
the shouting. After two scores the horses
were off with the favorite on the out
side, and little back as she had act
ed badly in scoring, but the way she
closed up the gap was caution. She
passed them all and was lead to the
good, before the other boys were fully
awake to what had happened. Spornitz
came out of his trance and went after
her and passed her, and then o. X.
took a hand and carried her to break
on the turn into the stretch, and on
came Exposition and nosed her out at
the wire with the crowd yelling them
selves hoarse. Ella T went the first
eighth in Is seconds, two minute gait.
The time of the last heat was lilo.
The trotters then came out with Edna
Wilkes at the pole, Belle second, Flora
] third and Honey fourth. This race
was won in one two order with Belle al
ways close and not seemingly driven
out, Flora j. third and Honey fourth in
the first heat and drawn in the last.
Then came Interview and Hazel A. The
first was won by Interview through a
luke, as Hazel A broke her breast col
lar and check on the back stretch. The
asst heat was good, the horses finishing
merely heads apart, the heat going to In
terview.
The colts also had try. This race
showed that the county attorney with
Sycamore Jim has as good a two year
I'D as ever stood in this section. Mr.. |
Nigley's colt, Baby, went good race
'or the first start and with proper train
ng and care should make good trotting
horse. While Mr.. Filey's colt won easily, !
yet, having been sick for some time,
ne was not up to his previous racing
form.

DAMAGE BY FIRE.
Mrs. PauIiaa Schmidt Suffers Loss.
and Hes No Insurance.
From Fridays Daily.

anu TBS W. insurance.
From Fridays, Daily.
The story and half frame residence
at 1910 North Fourth street was damag-
ed by fire last evening. The house is
owned by Mrs. Henry Wolff, but is oc-
cupied by Mrs. Pauline Schmidt, a
widow, and her children. The fire was
first noticed about eight o'clock and the
Dukes addition company turned out.
but being unable to subdue it a general
alarm was turned in at $3.50 p. m. from
box Is.
When the department arrived on the
scene, the flames were coming through
the roof near the chimney, and it is
well believed that the fire must have
started from the chimney, although it is
said that no fire was built in the stove
during the evening, a gasoline stove
having been used. The family was away
when the fire broke out, so it is not
certain just how it started.
The fire was extinguished without
much difficulty, and the damage by
water was greater than that caused by
the flames.
Mrs. Schmidt's loss is quite heavy, and
she had no insurance. She lost much of
her clothing and bed clothes, and other
household goods were damaged. Her
loss will be at least 500. The damage
to the house will probably not exceed
5000.
The hydrant burst when the water was
turned on, and must have been defective
