WALLACE CIRCUS ENLARGED.
Highest Class Show Has Been Made
+! Greater in All Departments.

The great Wallace show, so appro-
priately styled the Highest class
circus in the world,'' has completed all
arrangements for its exhibition in Os-
kaloosa Tuesday, June z6.
The Wallace show has again been
enlarged this year, and scores of new
novelties and features will be seen
for the first time in this country I'M
der the Wallace tents.
In past seasons the Wallace show
has been so large that 1t was the
equal of any similar enterprise in
magnitude, and this season it will be
even, more bewildering for the lay
men, for it has been very materially
increased.
Many more cars have been added to

The PIG WAS BLIND.
Romantic Raid On Keg Hidden Deep
In Woody Darkness.

Dark? Pitch dark; dark as the foul
fiend; black as the poets fathomless
pit; black as the printers towel.
Still? Still as it was dark; still as
the night air when great black storm
clouds roll swiftly up to obscure the
moon and stars; still, as the uncon-
querable grave.
On every side noble trees rear their
heads, not mighty pines. but Iowa
trees, noble, proud. On every side
rise the hills. The forest is in hol-
low
only the jeering boot of the soli-
tary owl or the half-waking twitter OF
frightened bird; only the creaking
of a twig; only the cracking OF leaf
stepped on by hurried footsteps; only
the intermittent trickle of gently
flowing amber stream.
Hist!
Nay, nay, my friend. This Is not
the story of the assassination of Chief
Mahaska. 1t is not the weird tale OF
the taking off of the noble red man. 1t
has nothing to do with the Indians,
nor with ghosts. Only prosaic consta-
bles and an alleged blind pig figure
in this tale.
Doubly blind was that pig, for when
Constables Woodruff and Andrews
crawled quietly into the hollow in the
woods near Rose Hill in which Dick
Ravens and Charles Saylor had key
on tap, they couldn't see their hands
before their faces.
None the less they stumbled onto
Saylor and Ravens, partly drank
eight-gallon key Of beer, and two al
legged customers. While they were
gathered around the place sizing up
their capture, two more of Rose Hills
| thirsty showed up.
The men were arrested and will be
tried today. The Oskaloosa officers
raided the place after complaint had
been made by Rose Hills best citi-
zens. The blind pig" they alleged
had been running a month.

GOLD WEST OF YERINGToN.
Many Locations Made on Lodges
Showing $40 TO $500 a Ton.

Considerable excitement has pre-
vailed here during the past week over
some rich gold strikes that have been
made in the Alkali Flat district, about
twenty miles west of Yerington. Word
of the strike was brought to town last
Saturday, and a rush began for the
new diggings, says the Yerington New
Times. The first discovery was made
by Messrs. Campbell and Kennedy, the
former a Cripple Greek prospector and
the latter from GOldheld-
They have a five-fOot ledge of ore
which pans freely, and assays give re-
turns of from $40 to $500 per ton. The
ledge runs east and west and can be
traced on the surface for a distance of
several hundred feet. There are other
lodges and groupings in the vicinity.
and people from this place have made
from 75 to 100 locations in the new dis
trict during the week. dozen tents
are pitched in the vicinity, and w. l..
Brandon has located a tOwnsite at the
lower edge OF the hills in which the
strike was made.
The discovery is in the low range of
hills at the northeastern edge of Al
kali Flat, about two miles east of the
wagon road running from Dayton to
Wellington The nearest way to reach
the country is from Yerington. which
is about twenty miles distant to the
east. Samples of ore from the ledge of
Campbell and Kennedy show it to be
brown iron-stained quartz and por-
phyry with some lime, and presenting
the appearance of a burnt-up mass
but it carries the gold. People are still
hockfng into the district. Wood and
water can be obtained a few miles to
the west of the discovery

BOOM DUE TO HEINzE.
Butte Man Tells Why Camp Is Now
Making Such a Noise.

Butte is having its first boom. It's
failure to join in any previous boom
has been due to the fact that it takes
d large amount of money to develop a
property and small people could not
operate. The result has been that the
Amalgamated and other large financial
interests have been able to buy prop
critics at practically their own price, -
says E J. Anderson of Butte, in the
Wall Street Journal.
There have been three developnents
in Butte in the last few years which
have resulted in almost doubling the
prospective value of it's copper proper
ties The first was the successful OPEN
ing by the Pittsburg & Montana com
pany. The second was the more re-
cent North Butte discovery. Now
comes the opening of the Anaconda
vein at the 2, 4OO-foot level, which dem
onstrates that there are untold millions
OF copper wealth under the Butte
mountain.

UNITED SITES DIVIDENDS.
Doubted Whether Common Stock
Will Participate in June.

There is considerable doubt in the
minds of some of the directors of the
United States Smelling, Refining &
Mining company as to the advisability
of inaugurating dividends on the COM
mon stock at the June meeting of the
board, when the regular quarterly div
idend on the preferred stock will be
declared and the question of the COM
mon stock dividend will be considered,
says the Boston News Bureau.
The board is practically agreed as to
the policy of creating a large working
surplus before any material distribu-
ton Of surplus is made to the common
stockholders, and it is a pertinent ques-
ton if the board does not depart from
TINS policy If common stock dividends
are inaugurated two months hence
The earnings of the company in the
past few months have exceeded the
most optimistic views of the directors.
