high wind saved Deiaware's great
fruit yield from destruction by frost Mon
day night. Farmers, and fruitgrowers in
particular, arose long before dawn Tues

wintry blast, wet spells and Spring frost
was threatened all night by late April
most and even by freezing. Providence,
however, came to their relief with a
high wind.

Policy holders who have been anxious
about the effect of San Francisco calamity |
on the various Insurance Companies in
which they are represented, need have |
no fear. Our local agents who have !
large agencies, report that all the COM
panies they represent will adjust and |
pay promptly their losses and have am
pie means left to protect their policy |
holders. One company, which is but |
sample of the many notices they have re-
ceived, SAYS: "We are enabled to assure
our agents that every liability of this
company at San Francisco will be prompt
ly met, leaving US with very large sur
plus fund, and the business of the COM
pany will be continued without change"
Circus Day, with all its joys and de-
lights to young and old, comes this year
on April S0th, for that is the date on
which it is announced that the famous
Washburn and D'Alma Famous Trained |
Animal Shows Combined will positively |
exhibit in this city. This show this sea-
son is the largest and finest equipped ex-
position of its character that was ever
offered for the public's patronage, and its
continued record of enormous and de-
lighted crowds is proof positive that the
efforts of the management to provide an
amusement enterprise out of the ordi-
nary is thoroughly appreciated. There
are hundreds Of ponies, horses, dogs, cats,
monkeys, apes, balloons, elephants and |
animals with the show, and the entire
entertainment is given by these animal |
performers under the direction of Mr.. |
John DAlma long recognized as-the mas
ter mind among animal educators of this |
country. To attempt to describe the |
many seemingly impossible feats which
these animals have been taught to accom-
plish would take too long. Suffice to
say, the people of Middletown are as
sured the finest and most fascinating show
that ever visited this city. Two perfor-
n,ances will be given, at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, and at s o'clock in the even
ing. Grounds Scott st. near Main.
