HALL AND HIS CIRCUS.
Topeka Visitor Tells How he Got
Started in the Business.

VIM. H. Blodgett, the Indianapolis
newspaper man who was here Tues
day to interview Governor Hoch. tells
a good story about the VIM. P. Hall
circus, which is showing in Topeka
today.
This is not an advertisement for
| the show, and so the story is told
exactly as Mr.. Blodgett told it.

with the Wallace shows" he began,
writing a story about the life of the
circus man, as seen from the circus
mans standpoint 1 lived in the ami
NAL tent, scrubbed my own clothes,
! slept on the canvas, and roughed it
! with the rest of them.
1T was one of the rules of the
grounds that no one should ever point
/ out Capt. Wallace, the owner to any
/ body. Wallace was a busy man, and
! didn't want to be bothered by strang-
/ ers. One day when we were showing
1 over in Indiana, a chap blew up to
! the tents who was about the biggest
freak I ever saw outside a minstrel
show. He had on a long tailed coat,
! a brilliant red vest exposing White
shirt bosom in which blazed a couple
/ of genuine diamonds as big as hazel
nuts He had big diamond cuff links,
patent leather shoes and white spats,

happened to ind Wallace himself sit

This answer nearly knocked Wallace

authorized TO act for Capt. Wallace in
all such matters. Where are your
horses?'

was w 81. Hall, man who could write
a check for a million dollars, and have
it honored by his bankers. Hall had
grown immensely rich raising and sell

over at Rochester, III. and Walalce went
over with him and bought lot of

This brought about quite an inti-

OUR GOODS REFUSED.
Chinese Will Not Even Unload Then,
IN Their Ports.

San Francisco. June 28.-Edward G.
Bellows. until recently consul general
for the United States in Japan, has ar
rived in san Francisco aboard the Pa
cidc mail liner Manchuria-
Mr- Bellows brings renewed CON
hrmaton of the boycott which the
merchants of China have declared
upon goods and merchandise coming
from this country. He adds a new
phase to the condition of affairs by
bringing the information that the
orientals have carried the boycott to
the extent that in many instances i'm
porters are having great difficulty in
obtaining assistance in the unloading
OF American products.
There can be no doubt that there
is determined effort afOOt in China
whereby it is hoped to bring pressure
upOn the United States through the
medium of boycott" said Mr. Bel
lows. THE object, as has already been
exploited, is TO force this country to
grant more liberal treatment to mer-
chants and other Chinese who travel
I'm the United States.
"All over China the guilds which are
similar to our boards of trade, are us
ing their utmost influence to bring
about the desired effect Many are
hardening to their teachings. In the
several ports the hands who are accus-
toned to unload the imported goods
have been taught to leave untouched
the merchandise brought from our
country This condition of affairs is
likely to grow.
"Of course, am not saying how ef-
fectuaI this mode of procedure may
prove. In fact, I think that there is no
great cause for alarm. Still, we must
remember that in Germany and other
nations we have worthy competitors in
the Chinese trade and what we lose is
bound to be their gain, to a certain
extent at least"
Henry B. Miller, consul at New
Chwang, succeeded Mr.. Bellows.
