CIRCUS DAY NEAR.
Local Interest in the Coming OF the Barnum
& Bailey Show.

The near approach Of circus day ac-
centuates interest in the notable list Of
arenic features announced for the Barnum
& Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, when
1t comes to Wilmington on Saturday, May
18th.
The new ePeace7 spectacle. which
serves as an introduction to the triple
ring performance, is described as quite
the cleverest and most brilliant display
Of the kind ever attempted. The military
character afforded by the Russo-Japanese
war is, it is said, taken advantage OF IN
a way that leaves nothing to be desired,
while the introduction OF the allegorical
element into the story gives an opportun-
tunity Tor utilizing scores OF pretty and
shapey girls in costumes Of gorgeous
oolonng ana striking picturesqueness.
The spectacle, ambitious though it is,
is DECLARED TO be simply an introduction
to an arenic performance OF exceptional
merit and novelty During the nearly
three hours performance IN the big hip
podrome pavilion, the three rings, the
two stages, the aerial spaces and the great
racing track are said to be vibrant with
the novel feats and displayes Of 300 artists
from all parts of the world, hundreds Of
horses and scores OF wonderfully trained
animals, including elephants, sealions,
dogs sheep and ponies. There are. it is
announced, three big thrillers. The first,
lie Tourbillon de la Mort or "Ihe Limit,
creates excitement by introducing young
and pretty French automobilist, who rides
a somersault-turning automobile through
space; the second, the dip Of Death,
serves to exploit the daring Of a courageous
young American girl, who rides 40 feet
through the air in an inverted auto-car
and the third presents the Boiler Brother
in sensational mid-air revolutions on bl
cycles
Among the announcements for thu
reglla-circus company are-Ihe Iroupl
Carmen. in a novel high-wire act; tn
Imperial Niennese aerialists; the Steyes
aerial tremplin; the Florenz, La Mont

Local members Of the Modern Wood |
men of America have been asked by DR.. |
i. L. Bvcrs OF Seeleyvile, Ind, to insti-
tutc a search for his son, who was stolen
from the Indiana town two years ago.
The lad is supposed TO be IN the posses
ion of rypsv band and an impression
prevails thai he was brought IN this di-
rertion but whether he is now or has
been near Wilmington has not been as
certained.
ME bov who was 6 years old last July is
oflight complexion has grey eyes the lett
ave Is noticeably crossed, there is q small
t-sbaped nick in the edge OF the lett ear

iecting forehead. He Is rather small,

who brought the matter 70 the attention
of a reporter Of Every Evening ls sn
officer Of one Of the local camps and he
has taken great interest ~ tho matter
lie makes the request that i anybody
IN this locality notices strange boy an
swerinR the description, they notily
some member of the order. A reward OF
$500 has been offered by Or. Byers Tor
information leading to the recovery OF
his son.
According 20 information received by
Mr.. Young, the lad disappeared under
mysterious circumstance, about 5
o'clock IN the afternoon, on May 2ath,
1904. He was about his home in seeley-
vile at that time, but left, presumahly,to
ioin some other children. Later he
vas seen bv q woman, talking with 9
strange man. The stranger disappeared
and SO did the boy.
Five wagons passed through the. town
that afternoon, presumably belonging t'
a band of gypsies, but when the hanc
reached Terre Haute, eight miles away
/ there were six wagons, and the pre-
sumption is that the boy was IN the slXii
wagon, which, in all probability, wen
around Seeleyville. The five wagon
passing through the latter town we're eHH
amined, as it was thought the boy was i
one Of them. but he was not found. Whei
It became known that there were 81
wagons an effort was made TO come ul
with the sixth, but without success.
DR.. Byers has exhausted his means j
his search for the boy and he IS no'
travelling about the country, fund G
81 800 having been subscribed in Indian
for that purpose II is likely that he vi
come to Wilmington, but he has sent Oh
request ahead OF him and can be locate

TOLD OF THE EARrHouAKE.
An Interesting Lecture by Mrs. J. Ward
Dunning.

An Interesting Lecture hy mrs =. WaAa
Dunning
Those Who attended the lecture in
Union NJ. II. Church, last evening, heard
a graphic description OF the San Fran
cisco earthquake and fire by Mrs. j.
Ward Dunning, who went through the
disaster. Mrs. Dunning formerly lived
in Wilmington, but during the past few
wears lived on the Pacific Coast, where
here husband is engaged in business.
At the time Of the earthquake Mr. and
Mrs. Dunning were living in a six-story
apartment house in San Francisco. The
building was of modern construction,
but, the speaker said, il was shaken
down like a house of cards. Mrs. Dun
ming and her husband were saved from
being crushed by falling debris by q
folding bed, which partially closed and
protected them. The shaking, she said,
seemed to continue for minutes, instead
Of seconds. She and her husband fled
from the falling building in their night
clothes. There was not a room IN the
house that was not wrecked. Mrs.
Dunning said she saw an entire block Of
16 stone houses wrecked and IN the yard
Of one there we're four bodies which had
been taken from the ruined houses. The
streets were almost impossible because
Of the accumulation Of debris and it was
with difficulty that one walked through
them. A row Of shanties she saw broken
into pieces and thrown to the ground.
Another house, the speaker said, was
turned almost upside down and the in
mates killed. After she and her hus-
band had recovered from the shock they
concluded to visit the two stores of which
he was manager. One Of these was de-
molished but the other was intact Th'
fire broke out close to the wrecked store
Mrs. Dunning said she saw sick
woman standing upon the sidewalk witt
her husband and children. The hus
band offered to 60 into the wrecked
house and get wrap for her. BeforI
he could go in the building fell, crushing
him beneath tons of heavy material.
