Thousands Attend the Big Circus and
Menagerie on Jackson BAN Park This
Afternoon and Are Highly Pleased
and Entertained.
The weather man has had it in for
Clarksburg for some time past and has
been soaking the city daily with nasty,
disagreeable old rain for several weeks.
The very meanest thing he did, how
ever, was the trick he played on the
Sells & Downs big circus parade Non
day morning. The parade started from
the show grounds on the JACKSON ball
park in favorable weather, but before
the main part of the pageant had
reached the central part OF the city the
weather man let loose and drenched the
whole parade. The shower was soon
over, however
The big circus arrived here some time
during the night Saturday and Sunday
morning residents on Quality Hill and
vicinity saw big walls of canvas loom
ing mp in the air from the jackson ball
park grounds.
The parade was gorgeous. The wag-
ons are handsome ones, and the horses
in splendid condition. The music was
inspiring and all in all it was one Of
the best circus parades that ever wendell
its way down Clarksburg's streets.
There were $50 head OF horses in the
parade, besides so ring horses. There
we're the usual lists of elephants, cam.
els. bands. drum corps. etc. Many cages

Farmers Elevator for Surrey.
About 100 Surrey farmers
gathered at VIM. Aliens old store
building in Surrey Saturday
afternoon and organized a Surrey
Farmers elevator association.
The meeting was a very enthusi-
astic one and there was no troub-
le in the farmers getting togeth-
er on that important subject.
Arrangements were made to be-
gin at once on the erection OF an
elevator with a capacity Of 3d.
600 bushels. A board of direc-
tors consisting Of Mr.. Berg, D.
NJ. Shorb, 0. NJ. Champlin, w.
II. McCutchin, Warren Brey, Mr..
Yoder and Mr.. Petry elected.
The board held a meeting Mon
day and proceeded to make APP
plication for a site. The elevator
will be completed in good time
to haudle this falls crop, and
there will not be a little about
Surrey. 1t is thought that shares
to the amount Of 1000 will be
disposed Of.

Briquette fuel is now being ex-
tensively used in mines, mills,
factories, smelling works, chemi-
cal works and in fact, all kinds
OF industries where steam is used
in all parts OF the German
Empire and the results are said
to be eminently satisfactory.
For instance, experience with
Ignite briquet in a plain CRATE
furnace resultedin the generation
OF 5 kilos OF steam per kilo OF
fuel, or a relative capacity Of two
to three compared with ordinary
steam coal. The Ignite resources
in and about Minot are almost
unlimited and there slittle doubt
but that this county cos'ld supply
at least twenty briquette
factories fora period OF fifty years
or perhaps even longer. One
thing is certain that the product
is here and all that is wanted is
some one to take advantage oi
good opportunity.
