has nothing but thread.like cable to
support It, there is tumult OF pro
longed and uproarous applause. Other
hazardous and hair raising feats are
performed by this courageous pair and,
while they are yet standing on the
wire, the crowds attention is attracted
by a flash of flame and squirting OF
fire Immediately under the spot where
they are standing. This kissing and
squirting increases to the brightest
flame and suddenly a great revolving
cascade of fire bursts on the vision.
From this seething cascade varl-col-
ored rockets dart into the air In every
direction, forming spectacle in the
night shade that is at once wierd and
beautifully impressive. This is n
grand finale to an act which, without
doubt is the greatest in the entire
world.
All these different acts are executed
with a grace and precision which real
ly makes them appear easy, though
ones sense of reason tells him other
wise. Distance from earth has no ef-
feet whatever upon the daring of Herr
Granada. There are just two things
which could limit the height at which
he might perform: the impossibility Of
getting poles tall enough, or the rarity
of the atmosphere.
In order to secure this free attrac-
ton, Manager Darnaby was compelled
to bid against the management OF the
great White City, Chicago, where Gra-
NADIA and Fedora were the star per-
formers during the opening of this re-
sort. Nothing but the determination
to have the best at any cost could have
led Mr., Darnaby to pay the big salary
which this great act requires. Quality
is what he insists upon, however, in
all his attractions and nothing can be
too good for his White City. This ac-
counts for Beautiful Bagdad, a very
high class and expensive musical pro
duction.
The high-wire performance takes
place twice daily: at 3 and 10:45 p. m.
All other attractions of the White
City run continuously from 1880 until
$50 and from 700 until 1880 p. m.

City Mans Cheerful Prospect.
[Frum " -dnesday's Daily

[Frum ~ -dnesday's Daily,1
Early in April Prof. Willis Marshall
of Sioux City, who foretold the Frisco
earthquake, told his friends that To-
Gusts will come this year, not only the
17-year locusts but the 13-year locusts,
and that this is something which hap
pens only once in 200 years, says the
Sioux City Tribune.
Just now those who heard Mr. Mar
shall make the prediction are reading
with wonder the reports from all parts
of the world that the locusts are COM
ing on schedule time. Here Is dis
patch which the Associated Press car
ried from Budapest yesterday:
"A swarm of locusts of the 17-year
variety destroyed the garden products
OF the finest part of the Hungarian
puszta, the great plain Of Hungary.
The insects have come from Morocco
in extraordinary numbers. They have
destroyed all the vegetation on about
$4,000 square kilometers 11,O0O square
miles,, devouring barley, rye, wheat,
maize, beetroots and turnips. 1t is
feared that famine in cattle fodder
will ensue."
Appear In the West.
The following special from Crook
ston, Mimi, is published by the Mime
apolis Journal: "Locusts, thought to
be the 17-year variety are found in
the fields here, and it is thought
swarms of them will be hatched in the
next few months. Farmers do not be-
lieve they will do much damage"
From the fruit district of Colorado
comes the following telegram:
Grand Junction, Colo, July A.
Swarms of locusts of the Rocky noun
tain variety infest the orchards and
melon patches of the Grand Junction
district Their ravages extend as far
west as Salt Lake City,"
Other reports from Washington and
Oregon tell Of locusts being so nu-
merous as to excite the fear of the
fruit growers and to threaten the com
ing harvest of grain.
Conditions are Right.
If the prediction is true that locusts
are coming in droves, the winds which
sweep oNSl JnC SOih lCiuo VI ANSpi uo7
ka and Iowa and the wheat fields of
Minnesota and South Dakota during
August and September, will bring with
them billions of locusts.
1t is claimed, that according to the
records and conditions of the present
season, things are just as they should
be for Matching the eggs.
The fact that there are no flies
worth mentioning is one of the condi-
tions of the season which causes the
scientists to believe the locusts will
take advantage of the opportunity. 1t
is late in July and yet flies are not a
pest OF mankind in the west; few OF
them are seen following the sweating
teams in the fields and the houses are
almost free of them.

A MARVELLOUS ACT.
The Mid-air Performance at the White
City.


There is being performed in Norfolk
this week an act which is really won
derful in its daring and artistic per-
fection. 1t is so far above the average
free attractions" carried by show
companies as to be almost beyond
comparison in point of greatness. We
refer to the marvellous mid-air per-
formances Of Herr Granada and Mile.
Fedora and their wire-walking ele-
elephant, Rajah, all of which are to
be seen daily at Parker's White City.
Twice daily, Granada and Fedora
ascend to the lofty wire and for few
minutes are hidden behind the folds
of a canopy surrounding the mid-air
platform.
Where Is the elephant?" is the cry
that goes up from many boys among
the spectators
"Oh, there amt no elephant" is the
answering chorus Of nearly as many
other boys.
Then a buzz Of voiced wonderment
arises from the sea Of upturned faces.
The spot light is thrown upon the can
opy, and the elephants trunk and
tusks are clearly outlined. The band
plays a slow march and out from the
camera obscura, high above the crowd,
Rajah's ponderous form becomes dis
tinctly visible. Slowly he walks along
the wire, keeping time to the beat of
the music and succeeds in reaching
the other side in safety. A great cheer
arises from the people below and Gra-
NADIA and Fedora lean over the railing
of the platform and bow their ac'
knowledgements.
Now that "Rajah" has made good
the crowd is ready to expect anything
1t would not surprise them bit to
see Granada walk on the air or to view
Fedora flying with the strong wings
of an eagle. None of these feats, how
ever, are attempted, but others almost
as difficult are accomplished with fin
ished grace and ease by these two
high.wire experts, the greatest and
best the world has ever known. Their
the band strikes up lively march and
Granada comes out alone with a steI
as springy and light as that of cory
phee. He lies down on the wire or
the broad of his back, he turns back
ward and forward summersault; he
stands on his head on the wire; he
sits on a chair, balanced on the wire
then he sits on the back of a chail
with his feet on the bottom and wher
he arises to his full height, standing
on the bottom Of the chair, while Il

PIONEER DAY At JACKSON
CATHOLICS CELEBRATE FiFTIETH
ANNIVERSARY.
ESTABLISHED TRACY COLONY
In 1856 a Band Of Sixty camped a Milo
and a Half North OF Present Town
Of jackson, and Founded What ls
Now a Prosperous Community.


Of jackson, and Founded What Is
Now Prosperous Community.
Jackson, Neb., July 1S.-Fifty years
ago, on June I, 1856, band OF about
sixty daring souls crossed the Mis-
souri, river at Sioux City, pitched their
tents about one and one-half miles
northeast Of the present town OF Jack
con, and planted in what was then n
wilderness the colony OF st. Johns,
which name was later changed to
Jackson. This band was under the
leadership of Rev. jeremiah Tracy OF
Garryowen, Iowa, and has since been
known as the Father Tracy colony.
They had come from the far eastern
states and had made the journey from
Dubuque, Iowa, in covered wagons,
being six weeks on the road Being
jealous Catholics, mass had been cele-
brated every Sunday of the overland
trip On June 2 the first mass in the
colony was celebrated in tent in the
wilderness. In striking contrast was
the semi-centennial religious celebra-
tion Of yesterday, attended by two
bishops, over fifty priests and about
1000 of the laity
The colony at ST. Johns suffered
many hardships, but prospered even
tually. After few years fine church
was erected on the present site OF
Jackson and the settlers soon moved
to the new location, in time building
the present prosperous town and fine
church property.
OF the original Tracy colony, George
ans, Mary Mccormack, Patrick Two
hig and James McHenry survive, but
were unable to be present yesterday.
Jeremiah and Cornelius Duggan, John
McKivergan, Thomas Jones and Mines.
Daniel Duggan, John Boiler and Law
pated in the exercises of the day. At
an early hour the people came pour
ing In from all directions by team and
trains, the Great Northern running a
special train from Sioux City bringing
many priests from Iowa. At 1890
with Rt. Rev. Richard Scannell, d. O.,
bishop Of Omaha. Bishop Scannell
spoke of the historic Significance of
the celebration, praised the work of
Father Tracy and the early settlers,
and said that, while prosperity was to
be desired, there were many other de-
sirabe ideals. The male choir from
st. Patrick's church Of Omaha added
much to the impressiveness of the ser
vice by their splendid music.
Immediately after the mass the old
settlers, the priests and other invited
guests assembled in st. Patrick's hall,
where an elaborate seven-course ban
quet was served. After the banquet
came the toasts, Very Rev. d. w. Mo-
riarity of Jackson acting as toastmas-
ter. Eloquent toasts were given as
follows: John Boiler, "OJd st. Johns"
Rev. M. A. Shine, "Catholicity in the
West" Hon. John Rush, Omaha; Rt
Rev. Mgr. B. c. Linehan, Sioux City; {;
Rt. Rev. Mgr. T. A. Flynn, Sioux Falls,

but were omitted ON account OF the
late hour
