greatest damage has been donein the

fact that II has been colder In the

Casey Case is Set Over to Ne xt
Saturday.

Clinton Democrat.
At Harrisonvllle on Friday an ei-
fort was made to carry out the term
OF the recent stipulation by which in
return for valuable evidence Tho mas
M. Casey was to receive five year
sentence In the penisensiary inste ad
OF the much longer term TO which his
numerous crimes made him liable.
1t will be recalled that Judge Den
ton had put off the consideration OF
the matter at Butler until May II.
Mr.. Casey chafed at this delay and 1t
was decided to bring the matter up
before Judge Rradley In the Cass
county circuit court.
Various interests were to-be con
suited and satisfied before the SEN
tenee could be passed; and inform o.
tion reached some of the attorneys
for the other side that Mr.. Casey was
not disposed to be asfrank and co m.
plete in his testimony regarding the
payment Of bank funds to meet
private debts, as he agreed to be
when the stipulation was entered in
to ut Butler.
A consultation OF attorneys was
held ut Harrisonville Friday ait er-
noon to consider this question. 1t
Is known that Judge Crow, who rep
resented the depositors, took the
position that unless Casey "made
good, according to thesxact term o
the stipulation, he would object or
behalf OF the deposltors to the leni'
ent sentence; and Judge Crows asso
ciate attorneys representing the
State and Bank Trustee, supp ortet
his position, which also Judge Brad
ley was prepared to sustain. 1t had
been agreed upon further, as mean'
OF, insuring that Mr.. Casey woult
live up to the letter Of the stipula
tion made by his attorneys ant
agreed to by him, that before re ceiy
ing his sentence by thecourt he sha
give his deposition answering full
and freely all questions propounde
to him along the lines laid down b.
. the stipulation.

The action of Thaw's counsel in re-

Many practices which ten years ago,
FIVE years ago, one year ago, and even
six months ago were in favor, public
opinion having no condemnation for
them. are now held to be ,odious and
even criminal. This is perhaps the
most notable development Of the day,
namely. the creation of higher stand
ard for the conduct Of American bust
ness The revelations of graft in the
insurance and railroad companies are
a shock to national pride and yet
there is hardly an American who does
not know that in one form or another
graft has entered largely into the cor
porate life as into the political life
of the country. The saving clause of
the situation is that il seems a pass
ing phase in our national progress.
The optimist has reason to rejoice that
the national conscience has been
touched and that public opinion is
establishing higher ideals.

DEATH UNDER CIRCUS TENT
WINDsToRM CAUSES CANVAS TO
COLLAPSE.
Two Deaths, One Fatally Injured and
Seven Others Sustaining Bruises
Summary Of Casualties.

Aurora, lll.-Ten thousand people
were thrown into wild panic Fri
lay afternoon during the perform
ance of Ringing Bros. circus in this
city when violent and sudden wind
storm partly wrecked the main tent.
Swinging quarter poles, lifted from
The ground by the swaylng canvas,
moved GOWN people in scores from
their seats. One man was instantly
killed-a cripple, who was unable to
save himseli-another man died of
fright as he hurried from the scene of
terror with his family, and seven per-
sons were injured, at least one OF
them fatally.
There were present in the tent at
the time holiday people from all sec
tons Of Kane county rhe schools in
Aurora and in the rural regions and
in neighboring towns were closed for
the summer. and it was a gala crowd
including many children, that assem-
bled fol- the circus. The accident cast
the town into gloom.
Fifteen elephants were going through
their performance in the three huge
rings of the circus when the wind, by
peculiar freak, tore so foot hole in
the center OF the top of the great tent
Instantly the big beasts began wild
| trumreting as they .huddled in the CEN
ter of the tent and added to the terror
caused by the collapse of the canvas.
The lions and tigers and other wild
beasts in the animal tent adjoining, al
though the canvas over them remained
intact, were driven crazy wi h fear by
the Tapping canvas, the noisy ele-
plants, and the shrieks of the panic
stricken people. That more persons
were not hurt is regarded as almost
miraculous.
A rescue force was organized quickly
and men began pulling people out
from under the seats, and the crowd.
FOR tn most part unhurt, made its way
out through the side walls, some OF
which had been torn open by the wind.
The tent was emptied in an incredibly
short time, some persons said in less
than three minutes. though others said
the time exceeded five minutes.
