BIG CROWDS ATTENDED
The Carnival ShOws-Dann Thomp-
sons Thrilling High Dive
Several Good Shows.

With a. flare of lights. blare of
trumpets and the wild unearthly yells
of the speelers the Dixie Carnival
company opened its FIVE nights en-
gagement in this city last night.
The carnival grounds were crowd
ed with hundreds and hundreds of
people from early in the evening until
long about the midnight hour and
every one of the half dozen or more
shows did big business.
The evening gayety opened with
the high dive of Dana Thompson
which took place about half past
seven O'Clock. II is certainly thrill
ing act. The ladder from which Mr..
Thompson dives is about seventy feet
high. From n little platform way
up in the air he jumped feet first,
turned two summersets and landed
in the tank of water at the foot of
the ladder. The way the water splash
ed was certainly something fierce.
The act was witnessed by over n
thousand people who wildly cheered
the neryy diver This act will be re-
peated each evening at 1880 O'Clock
during the engagement and Is well
worth the seeing.
None of the attractions attracted
more attention or gave more salts
faction than George. The Kansas
Turtle Boy. a wierd and interesting
freak of nature. The Golden city, the
Fire dancers. the train robbers. the
wreckers, and the several other at
fractions were well worth the prices
of admission. The employees and
managers of the different shows are
and there was no disturb
ance of any kind on the grounds.
None of the shows are of question
able nature.
Judging by the attendance the first
night the carnival will do big bust
ness this week.

Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway
company to use the name Of the state
Of Kansas as its trustee in its suit
against the federal government and
the Creek nation. for remuneration to
the extent of millions of dollars for
some $4,000 acres of land in the

grant, at the solicitation of John
Madden, a former Emporia lawyer,
and that as a reward for Mr. Mad
den's work in the matter he was ap-
pointed general attorney of the NJ K.

According to the article in the Ca
zette, Madden was after this appoint

was considera bic opposition to him in
the legal departments Of other western
roads because of the stand he had
taken on many occasions in opposition
to railroad interests and his promi-
nence as a Populist.
Then, according to the story. Gov. Hoch
took a hand in the game. He and Mad

John Hagerman, general counsel for the

Gillette presented a spectacle of physical and mental ex- haustion when he stepped from the witness box at 6 o'clock He was the star witness in his own behalf on the charge of having murdered his sweet heart. Grace Brown.
 Gillette today went through one of the most trying ordeals that a witness ever experienced. Surrounded by an almost inexhaustibie mass of circum- stantial evidence that seemed to poin. to his guilt he took the stand in his own behalf and for nearly seven hours strove to bear up under the strain of cross examination and to describe to the jury how Grace Brown died.
 Most of this time. he was under cross examination and the district attorney was merciless in his questioning. Having assured his lawyers that he was equal to the strain. Gillette was called as the first witness Tn his own defense. His step was steady. his quick in response to questions from his own senior counsel. A.

SIX VICTIMS OF FIRE.
The Burning of a Salvation Army Ho-
 tel at St. James.

St. Louis. Nov. 2s.-Four men lost their lives and probably thirty-five were more or less seriously injured in a fire here early today. which practie- ally destroyed the Lighter House hotel. conducted by the Salvation Army and located at the corner of Ninth and Market streets.
 Over five hundred men were asleep in the building when the flames were first discovered and the greater num- Der of these were in rooms on the sec ond and third floors of the structure.
 All of the inmates were panic strick- en before the fire department arrived and succeeded in stretching the life nets. and many jumped from the upper windows and were picked up crushed an unconscious on the granite paved streets below.
 The four that lost their lives have not been identified. The bodies were burned to a crisp. The building was a three story structure.
 Two others were killed by jumping from windows. making six in all. but the doctors at the city hospital expect that this list will be increased by at least six others who are lying there it is thought, fatally injured
 It was only three months ago that the Salvation Army barracks at Eighth and Walnut streets was destroyed by fire. in which one life was lost.
