SELLSIS AT HOWE
Circus Returns and Goes Into Winter
Quarters.

The Sells circus came to Topeka this
morning to go into winter quarters in
this city. The greater bulk of the big
show is being stored away at the fair
grounds as usual while the torrid zone
animals are being housed at rear of
Mr.. Sells residence on Quincy street
The circus came to 1 Topeka ka from from
showing through the south during the
| last month. A remarkable fine run of
weather was experienced everywhere
until Topeka was reached this morn
ing. The cold driZzling rain made the
work of slowing away the big show,
very difficult job.
The most interesting sight in connec-
ton with a show going into winter
quarters is the quartering of the ami
mails. These are being put into Mr..
Sells barn. Big cages are built with
cages are opened and the wagons con-
tanning the animals backed up against
them. The wagon door is then drop
ped and the animals are prodded with
iron rods into their cages. The great
est care must be exercised in this oper-
alton to prevent their escape. They
become very nervous during the course
of the removal The lions pranced up
and down in their winter cages after
the transfer, snarIing and growing in
real jungle story book fashion. The
trainer jabbed at them a few times
with his rod. but it had only tenn
porary effect
None of the lion cubs which were
born in Topeka last winter are still
alive. Two died before the show went
on the road. and the other three died
during the summer. Another lioness
had three cubs in July and these also
died. 1t seems to be a very hard task
to raise this animal The trainer. said
that one out of five is remarkable luck.
The Sells show had a good season and
prospered. About 100 men Will be en-
ployed here a good share of the win

J. A. Matthews; second of the Fourth,
John Van Vechten.
Van Vechten was informed this at
ternoon that a policeman was on his
trail and telephoned to the commits
sioner of elections office that he had
left his report with the county clerk
by mistake. He at once went to find
the missing report.

morning, but it was not properly
drawn up, and he was sent out to cor

Democrats Openly Voted for ROose-

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 9.-Though the
Official returns are not all in there is
now no doubt that Maryland has gone
eRpublican by a plurality of about
1900, with three and probably four of
the Republican congressional candf-
dates elected. This result is almost as
great a surprise to the Republicans as
to the Democrats as the state had been
practically conceded to the Democrats
by all except a few sanguine leaders.
1t is admitted that thousands of DEM
ocrats belonging to what was called
the silent vote cast their ballots for
Roosevelt.
Democratic State Chairman Vandi-
yer, who had predicted a sweeping VIC
tory and $1,000 majority for Parker
and Davis said today that he is utterly
at a loss to explain the Republican
landslide except on the theory of the
presidents personal popularity.
Dispatches from the counties state
that in some Instances, as at Cumber-
land, Democrats openly cut their ticket
and joined the Republicans in celebrat
ing the election of Roosevelt.

At 1890 this morning the fire de-
partment was called to a two-story
frame house at 405 Polk street, which
had taken fire in the roof from a de-
fectiye chimney. When the depart
ment arrived the roof of the building
was in flames. 1t was necessary to
put on two streams of water, and the
owner of the house is James H. Guy,
and the occupant G.. E. Weineke. The
house was insured, but Mr.. Weineke's
loss on household goods was heavy,
and he had no insurance. The fire
was confined to the roof, but nearly
all the furniture in the second story
was damaged.
