Gilbiert's One Ring Pony, Goat, Dog
and Monkey Hippodrome.

One of the features with the Funny
Folks" which opens at the Lucas
opera house for one week commencing
April 2, is Gilbert's Pony, Goat, Dog
and Monkey Circus. One Of the cutest
performers in the circus is probably
the pony, tiny horse, smaller than
most newfoundland dogs, weighing
but IT'S pounds, and standing less than
thirty inches in height, although the
trained goats, capering dogs and the
monkey who rides the pony, but not
the goat, also help to amuse the little
ones, as we'll as the big ones.
- The animals make a change of act
every night, giving a grand matinee
Saturday afternoon for the children,
who will also be entertained by Little
Trixie,' the clever child actress.
Prices Is, IS and so cents.

For the first time in years, there is
this spring. There was good pros
pect for one, but after sizing-up the
situation and being confronted with
the utter hopelessness of the attempt,
h. A. O'Hara and his confreres among
the prohibitionists gave it up and
concluded to indorse the Peoples can
didates for mayor and aldermen IN
the first and third wards and content
themselves by making stand in the
Second ward, where they feel their
strength is greatest.
has concluded to run for alderman
against John Crush, the Peoples can
didate. Thus O'Hara, whose vaulting
am bition has led him in and out of
every party organization and caused
hlm to grab at every office in sight
during his variesated career, has fin
ally simmered down to prohibition
candidate for alderman! And he has
advocated with far greater showing
of sincerity than he has been able to
muster in support OF prohibition, the
issues presented by the democracy, the
populists, silver republicans, republi
cans and whatnot?
Petitions nominating Mr.. McCrack-
in for mayor, and Messrs. Southwick,
Crush and Flaherty for aldermen as
candidates on the Peoples ticket were
circulated Saturday aud yesterday and
have beer duly filed with Town Clerk
Parmenter. These petitions carry
long lists of names, nearly every
citizen to whom they were presented
having signed them.
The meeting called by Mr.. O'Hara
and Mr.. Jones for Monday mig mt
proved a very tame affair. Only about
a dozen were in attendance. O'Hara
presided as chairman. A committee on
platform was appointed. This CONF
mittee reported in favor of indorsing
the Sunday Closing Ordinance with
the night-closing section stricken out.
The report was rejected and the ordi-
nance was indorsed in its entirety.
The vote was as follows: For amend
ing the ordinance-W. E. McMurry
Albert Hork, L. h. Peck and A. L.
Bank. Against amendment-H. E..
Jones, ]. L, Stout, w. X. Waugh and
Otto Johnson. MIR. O'Hara as chair
| man cast the deciding vote.
w. E. McMurry was then placed in
nomination but emphatically declined.
The "Mass Meeting" then concluded
to indorse Mr.. McCrackin and the
candidates for aldermen on the Peo-
ple's ticket, excepting IN the Second
! ward. MIR. O'Hara wanted to be a
candidate there and he was given the
nomination.

Prior to 1890 there was hardly

only a few of that height. Today there
is one eighteen stories high and quite

In the spring of 1898, about 10 O'Clock
