BIGGEST SHOW ON EARTH
The Barnum Q Bailey Show Closes
 Under a Roof in Chicago.

Bridgeport, oct 1.-The Barnum & Bailey circus combination is now winding up its west ern tour, which has been one of the most successful in the history of "The Greatest Show on Earth" not except ing its European trip. It will play in Springfield, Mo, on Saturday. and be- ,ginfng next Monday will play atcn days stand at the Audftorium inc Ehi4 cago, after which it will come direct to the winter quarters in this city.
 The homecoming of the circus and its equipment is always pleasant news to the entire population, but particu- larly to the business people. Que business man who has proflted yearly upon the return of the circus and who missed it to the extent of several thousand dollars during tho five years that 1t was abroad, said yesterday: "Do you know that the circus leaves $1OO,O00 in Bridgeport during the win ter? got that straight from one of the executive officers who knows what he is talking about. tell you it makes big difference to the business people and there is also a lot of busi- ness which comes with tho circus in an indirect way"
 Next week the equipment will begin to arrive here. The circus appears un- der roof in Chicago and as there will be no further use for the tents they will be shipped on with many of the draught horses. Loads of hay are being put into the winter quarters to- day in anticipation of the arrival Of the draught horses next week. Every bit of the big outfit will come to Bridgeport to winter except the per- forming horses. They will spend the winter at Carversville, Pa. There will be 8 big force of men here to take charge during the winter while many will go to their homes until next sum- mer, when the circus will make an eastern tour, the first in six years.
 It is understood that next spring the elephant house will be torn down and a new one put up. A big brick structure that will cost upwards of $25, ,OOO will be built. Every year now extensive Improvements have been made in the winter quarters. Last year buildings ts the value of $2O,OO0 were erected. The winter quarters is a part of Bridgeport and the circus will be welcomed back here about the middle of October.

TRUCE CONTINUES
Awaiting Verdict on the New Peace
 Proposals.

Buenos Ayres, Oct 1.-The truce be- tween the Uruguayan authorities and the revolutionists continues, pending the acceptance or refusal of new peace proposals, the provisions of which have not been made public.
 Paraguayan advfces give reports of small engagements between the reyo- lutionists there and the government forces, but they are so conflicting as to render the making of an accurate statement impossible. Both sides claim to be masters of the situati tion, but it Is believed that the conditions are practically unchanged from those last repeated. It is reported from Corrientes that John N. Ruffin. American consul at Asunscion, Paraguay, is acting as agent for President Ezcurra and has telegraphed to Washington direct or through American Minister Finch at Montevideo for a warship. the object being to assist the government.

SOLD STATES SECRETS.
Chief of Confidential Barsau Is Un.
 der Suspicion.

KieI. Oct 1.-Although the directors of the Germania Shipbuilding Works said yesterday that Herr Barkmeyer. chief of the confidential bureau or cne Germania works, had not been arrest ed for selling military secrets to Tor eign power, 1t appears to be neverthe- less true that he is under suspicion or selling the plans of ships to another German firm, and it is known the Ger man navy departments perfected plans for the construction of submarine a,oats have in some manner come into the possession of the Russian govern ment. whether through Barkmeyer or not issnot clear. The navy depart ment has, been experimenting for two years with submarine boats and com rnatted design, some months ago, TOT a new submarine boat to the Germanfa works to execute. It is a copy or this plan that is reported to have reached Russia.

NUTMEG CRAVINGS
Intere sting Items Rolled Down Fer
 the Benefit of our Busy Readers.

Clara Davis of Hartford, who was
 arrested last Tuesday on the charge of keeping a house at Bolton Pond
 where liquors were kept for sale, was
 arraigned before Judge John E. Fisk.
 Mrs Davis was adjudged guilty on
 three counts, that of reputation, hav-
 ing liquors with the intent to sell, and
 with the actual sale and was lined $26
 on each count, making total of $75.
 Bartholomew J. Sullivan, hackman
 of Hartford, represented by Andrew
 J. Broughel, Jr, made application to Judge Roraback in the superior court
 yesterday afternoon for the reward of 5000 offered by Governor Cham
 berlain for information leading to the
 arrest and conviction of the murderer of Henry Osobrn. The reward was offered by Governor Chamberlain on
 August 5, a few hours after MT Os-
 born was murdered.
 Little James Havens, aged not quite years, the son of MT and Mrs James F. Havens of Hartford, drank an ounce of gasolene last night and
 died within half hour. The gaso- lene was in bottle which stood on a
 sewing machine. Mrs Havens was going to clean the machine and left the bottle while she went to get a piece of cloth. While Mrs Havens
 was away, her son, who was toddling around the room, got hold of the bot tie, drank almost all that was in it and then fell to the floor crying. Mrs Havens ran back and seeing what the boy had done called in a doctor. His efforts were of no avail and within a half hour the boy had died.l
 A youngster who was arrested at the Berlin fair last week with his hand in the pocket of James E. Smith was told by Judge Roraback in the superior court yesterday that if he would disclose his identity he would save himself from going to state pris- on, but the boy said he would take the longest sentence the court could inn pose rather than to bring disgrace on his family. The boy, who is IS years
 old, was well dressed, and appeared well in court. He was arrested by Constable Taylor for attempt at theft from the person. He gave the name of Charles Wilson when arrested and said he was born in Baltimore He re- fused to say anything further about himself Judge Roraback sentenced 1 the boy to state prison for term of from two to four years. The judge said, T do this believing that you are professional pickpocket and the state of Connecticut wants protection 1 from characters like you." There is belief that the lads correct name is l Charles Daley. When he was arrest ed book was found on him and the | name of Charles Daley was written on one of the pages.

MARSH STILL IN JAIL.
His Case is Due the Third Tuesday of
 October.

AS soon as their arrangements will permit, Attorneys O'Neill, Kennedy. Danaher and Hamilton, counsel for David C. Marsh, will hold conference and determine what shall be done in his case at the coming term of the sll. perior court, which opens here the third Tuesday in October. Marsh has been in rne custody of Sheriff Durham in New Haven jail since early last spring, charged with committing per jury in the case for assaulting certain men who came to town as strike breakers during the trolley strike. and of which he was found not guilty. Up to quite recently it was generally be lieved that the case against Marsh would rest on the decision of the su. preme court in the case against his fellow striker, Willis Vandemark. whose appeal was overruled by that court.

Measured by the District of Col
bia, whose men liable to nilit-
ary duty number less than those of
South Dakota, and whose organized
militia is also less in number, and
which received, according to this
report, an annual allotment of SIS,
10000 from the annual appropria-
ton provided by Section 1861, of the
Revised Statutes as Amended, it
will be seen that,-by every rule of
equity,-South Dakota should have
received the same amount; instead
of this she only received $7,979OS.
Measured by the State of Ken
lucky that had but 1851 organized
Militia, yet was allotted $25,932OO,
South Dakota which had more or
ganized militia, should equitably
have received at least $l7,979 more
than she was allotted.
Again, take the state of Kansas
for example; under the law which
ia responsible for these inequali-
tives, and should say, iniquities,
Kansas having an organized militia,
as reported, of 1850 men, just Is
men, less in her organized militia
than that of South Dakota has an
annual allotment of $l9,947,7O, Sill,
968.69 more than was allotted to
South Dakota.
A continuation of examples
through the entire list which |
furnish would be but continual
ton practically of the same results.
| Upon what basis the allotment
was made of the two million dollars
1 am not advised, but the language
of the act making the appropria-
ton would not indicate that you
follow the rule applied by

which have hereinbefore partially

''OLD C0NK' ON HIS EAR
Sends Round Robin to the Secretary
of War Over Militia Matters

Hon. Elihu Root,
Secetary of War,
Washington, D. c.
Sir:-I have the honor to in yite
your attention to that part of Acting
Adjutant-General Parker's report
on the militia, which tabulates the
number of representative in Con
gress from each state, and the allot.
ment made, and the, men liable to
do military duty in each.
The indefensible injustice of the
present system of allotment of mill
itary supplies is brought out by
such report 80 conspicuously to the
front that it would seem it could
not longer pass unnoticed by an ex
ecutive or administrative depart
ment of the National Militia.
Here are few examples of the
workings of the existing law of
annual allotment to the Militia, as
provided for by section 1861, of the
Revised Statutes as amended.

The Skunk In Action

e Washington, Ia. Press: Ihe
skunk is an artist that needs no brush
with which to fresco the human count
enance and ones clothes with olive
paint and indelible perfume. ALT
Chilcote tested it. He knows. He
sighted and wears powerful lenses and
was looking into the trap not over six
inches awav when that battery un-
limbered its guns and let fly.
He has been trapping rats in corn
crib, and caught tifty-tVo in a few
days, five one morning, eleven another
and so on. He set a trap in the buggy
shed, and noticed something in it
next morning and took devout posi-
tion on his hands and knees to see
what the varmint might be. 1t told
him it's name: spelled out the name Of |
we'll known manufacturer Of per-
fumery. 1t is not on the market. We
did not see it peddled by Arabs at the
centennial or the Chicago world s fair.
All kneeled to see his catch, and his
glasses made the black and white
thing look as big as a calf. He had
such cold he smelled nothing. With
either hand he paved away the straw
and litter at the sides Of the trap, and
just then he saw the brush turned
aside and a liquid darning needle,
olive hued, shot toward him, spraying
in spiral form az it dashed against his
1 glasses, glanced and doused his cap.
Blinded. like Samson, he CROPPED to
4 the house and had a basin Of water
handed to him. He carries some odor
4 yet, a faint advertisement Of the ad-
venture. One thing he knows--the
nectar is not thrown bv the brush
. The action is like that of bulb
syringe in the hand.
Monkeylns witt, the Kings English.
q Howard Spirit: We have always
doubted that statement that the
7 Ikimball GRAPHIC was the only strict
: ly moral sheet, but last week Clate
landed US. When a printer sacrifices
his reputation for spelling to save his
e morals, that settles 1T, and the GRAPH.
nc altered the orthography Of a verb,
e reversed and used as a proper noun
It to makeit look better. We endorse
the red line on the wrapper now.

KIMBALI. SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 5, 1904
CREAMERY WILL STARTAGAlN
Stockholders So Decide 1t the Annual
Meeting Saturday

SlUCNUOsUEtS , OO OEVeO6 ~ Nu0 eASsssUOs /
Meeting Saturday
While the annual meeting of the
stockholders Of the Kimball cream
cry Saturday was slimly attended in
comparison with former years, yet
there appeared to be considerable
ginger left in the institution after all
and no suggestion was offered from
any quarter which could be construed |
as a desire to throw up the sponge.
President Farrell called the meeting
to order, at the engine house, with
Secretary Cook on hand to take the
minutes. After an informal talk
about various matters, j. w. Smith
made the motion that the creamery
be opened in the spring and that all
stockholders pledge themselves to pat
ronize it exclusively fany at all, which
motion was carried unanimously.
A proposition was received from r.
A. Butterfield, formerly buttermakcr
at Glen and now manager and butter
maker at Washington Springs, to per-
form both the duties OF buttermaker
and manager or buttermaker alone,
but no action was:taken upon it.
An effort was made toinduce q. r.
Tinan to take the management of the
creamery, but he declined.
J. w. Smith was made Il member of
the board Of directors and the Others
Of the board, T. A. Farrell, r. H.
Cook, Ben Lunn and Bait Ryan were
reelected by acclamation. Mr.. Cook
will act as manager and secretary, and
he is probobly as good a man as could
be secured for the position.
| The removal OF H. w. Hinrichs to
Chamberlain necessitated the election
of a new treasurer and Fred Griswold
was given his place.
The directors were empowered to
80 ahead and do the best they can
with the plant and use their own
Judgment.
The report of the secretary showed
just about enough money on hand to
pay for the ice and the annual divi-
dend was passed. The report of the
years business, nine months only,
follows:
Milk received. d............... 321,oel
