Salt Lake, june l3.-The Herald
says: Otto Floto's "The Circus
Beautiful" arrived in Salt Lake City.
AS newspaper man with some
claims for originality, Mr.. Floto
succeeded in establishing his right
to the distinction by finding new
name for his show, and it is even
said that he has carried the idea
still further by putting hew things
In 1T. An original circus that isn't
too original is destined to attract
attention, and the Floto Shows are
doing that. Among the features
are herd Of funny Dutch elephants
and a bunch of funnier French
clowns; a girl who does all sorts Of
impossible things on horseback and
a man who loops the loop on a
single wheel; a jungle full of the
widest animals ever captured and a
dozen of the handsomest Arabian
horses ever seen. There are many
other attractioLc almost equally
unique and soulstlrring, and it goes
without saying that the boys Of all
ages Will see s.The Circus Beau
tifuI."

VIII have to Face It.

A special dispatch to the Lewiston
Tribune from Boise says:
cit can be stated that plans are
now being made to present to the
Moscow convention some such reso-
luton as was adopted at Weiser by
the democrats. The leaders in the
anti-polygamy movement in the re-
publican party are determined to
secure some expression from the
convention, and they will push the
question squarely up to the Moscow
gathering without regard to the
consequences. Only by recourse TO
the slyest parliamentary tactics,
backed by an overwhelming MAORI
ty, can the convention escape vote
ON the question, and even should
the convention smother any resolu-
ton bearing on the subject in order
to avoid arecord vote such howl
will go mp that the effect will be
almost the same as though the cor.
vention had acted in accordance
with the wishes of the Mormon
leaders.
The democrats are practically a
unit in favor of the proposed con-
stltntlonal amendment.
With this feeling in the demo-
cratic party, and the strong feeling
among many republicans and in
dependents against the practices of
of the Mormon church, conservative
republicans view with alarm the
possibility of the Moscow conyen-
ton going on record az an ally of
polygamy."
