LOOK OUT FOR CROOKS.

1t is advised by the local authorities
that during the stay of the Hagenbeck
circus in the city today that business
men and all citizens should take pre-
cautions to see that their places cannot
be easily entered or broken into. Our
citizens will remember the experience
of a large number of our people last
summer when the Forepaugh-Sells cir
Gus was here. At that time a great
many houses were entered and valu-
ables taken, some of them of priceless
value because of their being family
heirlooms.
AS general thing there are num-
Der of sneak thieves, pickpockets and
burglars following large circus. and
tits the part of wisdom for people to be
on their guard against their possible
thefts.
All of the members of the police force
will be on duty during the day and
evening, but they cannot be every
where at once, and unless care is taken
by citizens to guard their property as
much as possible, it is not improbable
that crooks may be able to get in their
nefarious work in some places.
1t is not known that the Hagenbeck
circus is followed by many of these
gentry, but it appears to be almost an
impossibiIity to prevent their following
a large show, and the best the circus
detectives can do is to cooperate with
the police officers of each city visited in
their efforts to prevent the crooks from
doing any work.

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
for Wausau People to Neglect.u

The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache,
headache, nervousness, lameness, sore
ness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy
diabetes and Bright's disease follow in
merciless succession. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with
the certain and safe remedy, Doan's
Kidney Pills, which has cured people
right here in Wausau.
Nathaniel Garske, cigar maker, of
1873 Jefferson ST., Wausau, Wis, saws:
Some years ago while working at my
trade in Williamsport, Pa, my back
got so weak and panied me so that |
had to quit work. / had been suffering
for quite while with heavy dull pain
and this peculiar weakness, but had
paid little attention to it until sharp
shooting pains began to strike me in
various parts of the body and with such
severity as to leave me helpless. | doe
tored andldoctored and tried many diff
ferent remedies, and while some of
them gave me temporary relief the
pains always came back worse than
ever. Hearing Doan's Kidney Pills
highly spoken of began using them.
They went right to the weak spot and
cnred me of my trouble and for three
or four years | had no return of it.

A KNOWING BEAST.

A farmer from the town of Corning
Lincoln county, with hair the color of
hemp and plenty of the Merrill road
dust covering his raiment, furnished
plenty of amusement to spectators in
in Warren park this forenoon when
they were watching the inner side of
circus life. A number of ponderous
elephants were being used by the cir
Gus hands in moving heavy wagons,
During one of the intermissions of
work this farmer, who was eating pea
nuts, approached the animals. One of
the beasts stuck out his trunk for pea
nuts. The farmer gave him handful
When the animal had fdevoured them
he put out his bill for more and they
were forthcoming. This act was re-
peated by the elephant several times
and between the pachyderm and the
farmer, the peanuts were soon all en-
closed. When the elephant finally
reached for more and got none he
manifested displeasure But he was a
wise old fellow and after short DELHI
Grafton he reached out his trunk once
more, snatched the farmers hat off his
head and tossed it up on his own head
The farmer was at loss what to do.
He was afraid to go near the beast and
there were no circus attendants in that
immediate vicinity to get mis- hat for
him. Finally thought struck him. He
went over to refreshment stand and
invested in another sack of peanuts.
He held out another handful tempting
ly before the elephant, when the ami
NAL took &he preferred ransom and
with merry twinkle in his eye tossed
the farmers hat back to him.
