AFTER THE CIRCUS is OVER
Court Was Not Very Busy as
the Result Of the Big Crowd
Here Saturday.

Justice Mckinley was not kept
very busy Monday morning in hearing
the cases that were brought before
him, and which arose from the pres
ence of the circus in the city Satur-
day. Chief Keith stated that the
crowd was very orderly and that the
occasions for making arrests were
few indeed, taking into considera-
tion the immense crowd that was in
town all day.
There were four DRINKS before the
justice, whose names were Mike Nc
Cav. Thomas Baker, John Hamil-
ton and James Livingston, each of
whom was awarded a fine of So. The
whole bunch vas strapped and they
were demanded to Jail to remain
! there until the fines were paid.
Mike McGraw was taken up or a
different charge than the rest. Sat
urday night he--was discovered in the
/ entrance to Chas. Burnside's store
cellar hy j. w. Mueller. a clerk. who
had gone down there to close up fol
the night. McGraw was Slightly in
toXicated and Meuller had no trouble
in getting him to the street an6
TUNED him over to an officer. Be
fore Justice Mckinley McGraw de
clared that he was net attempting
to break in the cellar, but that he
had hidden a can of beer there anG
was going after it. The fellow
seemed honest about his statement
and as he had not broken into the
cellar yet, the charge was changed
to drunkenness.

UNION RELIGIOUS SERVICES
of the City Unite for Ever
ing Services at Corn Palace
During Summer Season.

AS has been the custom for several
years past the churches OF the city
began their union services at the
corn palace Sunday evening, and
which will be extended through the
rest of July and August. The at
tendance was quite large and the
services were of an impressive char
acter. These meetings give the peo-
pie of the city an opportunity to
hear the various pastors and also as
sist in bringing the members of the
different churches into closer har-
mony for the upbuilding of religious
work.
The sermon of the evening was de-
livered by Rev. j. S. Sulbeck. pastor
of the Presbyterian church, and he
was assisted in the devotional eXer-
cises by Rev. Chas. III. Powell, OF the
Episcopal church, Rev. L. j. Glib
lett, OF the Baptist church, and Rev.
III. S. Wilkinson, OF the Methodist
church, who read the scrlptural les
sons, and Rev. A. Craig Bowdish, of
the Congregational church, who
offered the prayer. The music of
the evening was furnished by the
ladies quartet, composed of the
Misses Preston and the Misses Pratt,
with Miss Russ at the organ. They
sang one special number alo lead the
congregational singing. Miss Ella
Preston sang a sacred sole, her ac
Compartment being played by Miss
Mary Preston. y collection was
taken up for the purpose of defray-
ing the expenses of the union meet
ines, and it was announced that
should there be a balance at the
close of the services that the pro-
ceeds would be devoted to some char
itable cause
Rev. Mr.. Surbeck delivered an in
testing sermon from the text taken
from Romans 12-1: 81 beseech you
therefore, %brethelen, by the mercies
of God that ye present your bodies a
living sac ritice, holy, acceptable un-
to God, which is your reasonable ser
vice" The thought presented was
that the people should serve the
Lord by giving their best TO His
cause and consecrating their lives ir
religious work.
The organ that was used during the
evening belongs to the ladies Of the
Methodist church, it being the one
presented to them by the Sioux Fall:
Argus-Leader some time ago for Sc
curing a certain number of new sub
scribers in this city.

GREATEST OF THEM ALL
Ringing Bros Show Meets With a
Magnificent Crowd on Their
Visit TO Mitchell.

Saturday morning at A O'Clock the
first section of Ringing Bros circus
reached the city via the Milwaukee
road, it being transferred at Wolsey
from Huron. Early as it was there
were a number OF people at the depot
to watch the unloading process.
There is always a fascination for old
and young alike to watch the arrival
Of a great circus train, such as is
carried by the Ringllngs. 1t was
nearly 5 O'Clock before the unloading
began. The second section arri we'd
about 6 O'Clock and this contained
most of the horses. 1t was a pretty
sight to see the animals emerge from
the cars, harnessed and ready for
business. The horses soug bit their
mates and the teams came together
with trained regularity. There was
no loud talking or bad language
among the men. They knew what
they were TO do and they went at it
without so much as Il suggestion
from the boss. The Ringlings in
sist on quletness and orderly conduct
from their men and they get it.
The third section OF the train
reached the city at I O'Clock and the
fourth section came in an hour later.
1t was but a short time after that
the paraphernalia Of the eighty-tive
cars was transported to the show
grounds north of the Omaha track
on the school section.

This is How They Settle

To support their contention that
the country west OF Pierre as settl-
ing up The capital committee out
there cause to be published at
certain intervals news of the peo-
pie who are making their homes
on the reservation. The stories
do not jIbe, however. The
other day in the Sioux Falls Press
We noticed three items sent from
Pierre of parties vino had proven up
on their land and had returned to
their homes in Wisconsin and Iowa.
This correspondent has simply IN
phasized the point that Mitchell has
been making all the time. Pierre
insists that the agricultural features
are so strong-now-that people are
locating permanently Oh their
claims. This is said for the purpose
to try and demonstrate that the cen
ter Of population is moving that
way, but it is not so moving. In the
past SIX or eight months we have

papers Just like the n referred to-
where the people are proving up
their lands and returning to their
eastern homes. OF course we are
willing to grant that all do not do
this, and that some new settlers are
moving INFO that country. hut There
is no eyidnece that they are engaged
in agricultural pursuits ION the gil
gantic scale that the Pierre boom
ers are trying to show. 1t is a good
deal as N. P. Bromley told the
Pierre debaters. A country that is

The Afternoon Performance.

In the afternoon there was a large
crowd at the show grounds attending
the initial performance. This year
Ringing Bros. have a better circus
than they have ever before put be-
fore the public, and those who at
ended the performance expressed
themselves that they had never seen
anything TO equal it.
The prominent feature of the
Ringing circus this year is "Jerus-
allen and the Crusades," a beautiful
spectacle which involves a cast OF
1900 characters, u ballet of 800 and
a singing chorus Of 200.
No circus in existence could afford
the fabulous expenditure of money
invested by the Ringing Brothers in
this radiant and dramatic interpre-
tation of the beautiful and romantic
story of the crusades. The subject
portrays life in the enrolling days of
chivalry, when loyalty, bravery, JUS
tice and g%entleness went hand in
hand, and courtesy to an enemy and
woman Was a cheerful duty. The
men and women of this age ale in
spring pictures of devotion to high
ideals and depict in glorious flower
the sentiment of chivalry from which
the stirring crusades sprung.
"Leapine the gap a nervy and
daring bicycle feat, is the sensation

Brothers do not depend on one or

pENlgp The PETITION
Road rrtir'm presented by Citizens
Southeast of Gown Denied
for the Present.

Thursday afternoon There were
busy times before the board OF our
ty commissioners ty reason of the
presentation of a petition Inch was
made 10 the board asking for the
construction OF ii roadway across the
Milwaukee road at a point about one
mile southeast of the city. The pc
tition was literally signed by parties
residing in that section of the coun-
ty. Preston & Iannett appeared for
the Milwaukee company. T. j.
Spangler presented the claims for
the petitioners and III. T.. Hitchcock.
as states attorney, advised With the
commissioners.
There has been quite a struggle to
get this roadway fixed up but it has
all gone for naught for the present,
as the commissioners by resolution,
adopted late in the afternoon, denied
the request made in the petition.
Mr. Preston made the point against
the petition that there was not
enough legal signers, in that they
were not residents of the vicinity (:
that the roadway asked for was not
a regularly Travelled highway and
that the construction of the same
would benefit but Il few farmers: he
claimed that to construct ii roa 1way
would be necessary to build a viaduct
owe the road and this would be an
expense of about 50. 900 to the COM
pany, and that the necessary grading
on each side would be d great eX-
pense to the township and to the
county.
MIR. Spangler urged the adoption OF
the petition ON the ground that the
road would be beneficial 10 ii great
many people living in tina section.
He set forth the fact that the OPEN
ing OF the road would benefit parties
who are constantly hauling rock
from the Gladstone quarry, who
now are required to trespass on pri-
waite property in order to reach that
place.
In denying the petition at this
time the commissioners felt that the
expense would be to great for the
number of people who would be ac-
commodated.

the reservation across from Pierre
they we're forced to sit there in alb
solute silence and by so doing adj
mitted that there was not enough
grain raised across the river to pay
to construct elevators. 1t is no dis
credit to the country, either, and it
is unfair on the part of Pierre cap
ital boomers to ascribe something to
a portion of the state which past
history has shown it can not main

One time the late ameer of Afganis-

had finished the ameer observed to his

Truly, as Biondi we'll says, where is
the consistency of admitting the
purely pagan Bacchante' of Mac
Monies over which the high
ly virtuous censors Of public morals
in Boston had so many shudderings
and which was welcomed with open
arms by this same Metropolitan Mu-
scum Of Art, and excluding this great
pipece Of sculpture which has for the
end Of contemplation a benefcent in
fuence. Wonderful indeed are the
mental processes of the human entity.
Signor Biondi is justly incensed over
this action and says, ~ have not only
lost the opportunity of exhibiting the

cealment by the Museum, as if it were
vile thing, has hurt my reputation.

Many people will remember the
large canvas painted by Otto Stark
exhibited here some years since call
ed "The Committee' being life size
figures Of three men. This picture was
hung in the Indiana Building at st.
Louis and has recently been purchas-
ed for $500 by a Indianian. Re
gret was expressed at the sale that
the picture was not retained by In
diana, but a prophet is not without
honor save in his own state, and
Stark is not the only artist who has
been more appreciated by connoiss-
eurs abroad than those at home, althO
it is to be doubted if any one can be
labeled "connoisseur,' who judges a
picture by the name in the corner or
the price with which it is tagged.
There is nothing so grossly philistine
as to fall into raptures over pic
ture because it is marked with four
figures and a dollar mark. Of such
are not the kingdom Of Arts.

The officers of the Richmond Sketch
Club and the writer of this column
are in receipt of effective announce
ment cards from Mr.. J. J. Blessing, of
65-67 Molenstraat, The Hague
Holland, Mr.. Blessing being dealer
in high class Dutch paintings and wa
ter colors, the card including a pic
ture of one Of the exhibition rooms.
The modern Dutch school, with such
men as Israels, Mauve and others as
we'll known, is famous and it is inter-
esting to an American to know where
representative work of these and 9TH
er artists may be found. People visit
ing The Hague could not do better
than look up the Blessing galleries.
This column has received a docu-
ment called "Circular of Committee
on Instruction. with reference to
the schools Of the Pennsylvania Aca-
deny of the Fine Arts for the season
of 1904-19O5. It is interesting to
know that the coming year is the
ninety-ninth in the history of this
school, having been established in
1905, the school year beginning Octo-
Der 3rd, and closing May 9th, and
divided into three terms. Some Of the
instructors are William M. Chase,
Cecilia Beaux, Henry McCarter,
Frank Miles Day, Henry P. Poore
and Charles Crafty. This is one Of
the best art schools in the United
States, many noted artists having re-
ceived their first instruction therein
AS stated before several Richmond
people have studied in this institution
including Mr. Charles WATSON.

IF there is any money left after the
expenses of the recent exhibit are
paid, one of Corners pictures will
be bought and a committee has been
appointed to solicit subscriptions in
addition. While this is commendable
it is rather a cheap way Of treating an
artist of Mr.. Connor's genius and
growing reputation. "Tell me all
about Conner,' writes celebrated
critic in the East. "Do YOU know
that wonderful artist, Conner?' asks
Duveneck Of a Richmond young wom-
an in Cincinnati. The fact is that the
$500 Reid fund should have been
used this year in buying one Of Con-
ner's pictures, instead Of resorting to
sort Of donation-party method the
result Of which is problematical. Ben
Foster, whose picture was bought, is
a New York artist Of reputation
whose opportunities have been mere
ly greater than those of Conner OPP
portunity makes the man in nine
ttHtilS VI tllC CCtScS vi IcCoIu VI
course it was very nice for Ben Eos
ter to get $500 for his picture but
why not encourage art in Richmond,
instead of New York? Conner is ev-
cry whit as great an artist as Ben
Foster; in fact far greater if Foster
is to be judged by the quality Of the
work he has sent here for exhibit.
People who know say that it was not
representative. This colmun doesn't
know as the writer thereof never saw
any of Fosters pictures other than
these. But it is to be hoped, for the
glory and honor of his reputation,
that they are not. However that may
be the point this column wishes to
emphasize is that the $500 Reid
fund should be used for the encour-
agement of local art, because we
have here artists of native talent and
in one case, genius, whose reputation
abroad gives them a prestige which
! should be recognized by their fellow
townsmen. This column is not utter
ing diatribe against Ben Foster. 1t
is not saying that Foster is not an ar
fist Of reputation who does charming
work. 1t does say, however, that the
picture bought with the $500 Reid
fund was not worth the $1,000 by
which it was marked nor yet the
$500 it secured, and it does also say,
without Rat there we've
