THE SELLS-FLOTO SHOWS.
Will Soon Be Here.

Now comes the cheerful circus
press agent with his first aid to the
children The Sells-Floto shows inau-
gurate their annual travelling season
this year with the most costly, gor-
geous and elaborate display ever seen
under the enormous canvas.
The Sells-Floto Shows have grown
to such magnitude as to necessitate
enlargement in every department. And
this famous amusement institution is
proud Of its home, and while on tour
is ever standing reflection Of Den
ver's industry and genius,
The monagerie alone is nearly dou-
bic its former capacity, and during
the winter the old world has been
secured thoroughly for wild animals
and strange beasts of every country,
and now this attractive and highly ed
ucational department is complete in
every particular. The cages, vans,
chariots and tabeaux cars are all new
and especially attractive in wondrous
architecture, conceded by all show
men to be unequalled by any other
firm, corporation, company or syndi-
cate.
1t has taken many years and sew
eral fortunes to place this department
on such lavish magnitude, to tickle
the fancy and satisfy the mind Of the
generous public. When witnessing
the grand street display from which
no revenue is derived-only the graf
iiication to please both young and old
children -- remember that what
follows in the bic canvas is
more meritorious. In the main tent
many new features will surprise and
delight the beholder, daring acrobatic
acts will fill out a long and worthy
program, more than enough to satisfy
and please the most eXacting critic
and astonish everyone else. Two per-
formances are given daily, rain or
shine.

capes from flying timbers are re-
ported. The corner was blown off Il
hotel building in Main street The
storm seemed to start short dis

path was very narrow. 1t is thought
that it travelled but short distance.

Sterling. kaS., April l5.-Quite Il
number of small tornadoeS have
been reported in this portion of the
state but nothing very definite can
be learned of them as yet. One is
eported to have visited Stafford and
is said to have blown down Il church
aud unrooied five or six houses. No
lives reported lost Another was re-
ported to have started near Thurber.
about twelve miles southwest of here.
and travelled northwest, passing Just
west of Raymond aud Chase. across

II is feared it struck Bushton with
full force. Westenhaver bridge

greater part of three hundred miles,
which, it is estimated, would cost half
as much more. The task of providing
fourteen-foot channel down the Mis-
sissippi river would be a great and
costly work of itself, and, when one
considers the great quantities of earth
and other matter washed down in the
big stream, the cost of keeping this
channel clear would reach large pro-
portions. Some idea of this item is af-
forded by the annual appropriation for
the eight-foot channel in the MissIssip-
pi from the mouth of the Ohio to the
mouth of the Missouri, distance of a
little over two hundred miles, which
amounts to $65O,OOO.
Perhaps the enthusiasm which pre-
walls in the Mississippi valley for this
plan is a little premature. even in these
millionous times. New York is going
to spend $1OO,0OOOOO in improving the
Erie canal, the United States is going
to spend nobody knows how much in
digging the Panama canal, everybody
and everything are issuing bonds and
stocks, etc., etc Perhaps there won't
be money enough to do all the big
deeds with right off. The Mississippi
scheme may be carried out in time. It
looks feasible enough on the face of it,
Also costly enough

ONE MORE BIG SCHEME.

This is day Of big schemes, big talk
and big deeds, Therefore it is not at
all surprising to see the feasibility Of
opening channel for commerce from
the lakes through the Mississippi river
to the gulf seriously discussed. Vari-
Gus estimates are made of the cost of
carrying through this great project.
The Chicago drainage canal which
empties into the Illinois river, cost
$50, OOO, 900, and unless it is utilized as
part of the waterway another adequate
for the purpose would cost nearly as
much. There would have to be locks
and dams on the Illinois river for the

STILL 4 QUEAgION.

She is still question. A difficulty
has arisen at Edinburgh University as
to the eligibility of women to study for
the LII. B. degree. Two young wom-
en-, one the daughter of an Edinburgh
solicitor and holding the M. A. degree
of the university, and another who IS
still studying In the arts faculty, have
presented themselves for enrolment in
several Of the law classes, attendance
at which is a qualification for the LII.
B. degree. The arts student can at
tend the law classes, as they are OPP
tional for the arts degree but with the
graduate the case is different, as she
has intimated that she is attending for
the express purpose of the law degree.
Some of the professors hold that the
university, as a teaching body, has no
concern with what use is made of the
degrees after they have been taken, and
that consequently female students
should not be debarred from attending,
while others say that as the Law Ex-
amining Board and the law societies do
not recognize the eligibility of women
for the profession of law, they should
not be encouraged to study it, The
University Court has RENTED the
question to its law and business com
mittee for report.
1t will be interesting to notice what
the law and business committee does
with this problem.

Perhaps faithful employees don't really
need encouragement, as Ut is in then
nature to be faithful, and they will be
even in spite Of Encouragement But
they can and do feel encouraged by en-
couragement. 1t is, therefore, pleasant
to read that the distribution of more
than $780, 900 left by Marshall Field OF
Chicago, to 275 faithful employees, who
had seen long service in the great house
which he established, has been made
Mr.. Field left $4,000 in specific legacies
to employees in addition, and bequeath-
ed 800, 900 in lump sum to be distrib-
'uted among others. The distribution OF
funds was in charge of Robert NJ. Fair,
James g. Shedd, and Harry G. Sell
fridge as trustees. The names of the
beneficiaries Of the 100000, it was de-
cided, should not be made public. A
pro rata scheme of distribution was de-
cided upon, with length of service, and
actual necessities as influencing factors.
Arthur 3, Jones, for years private sec
rotary of Mr.. Field, received 500, 900 I'M
der the will. James Simpson, who went
to work for Mr.. Field at the age of
eighteen years, and at sixty is assist
ant general manager, received $50,OOO
OF course the great brain and great
energy of Mr.. Field were the founda-
ton of his enormous business. but
equally of course his able helpers did
their part toward making 1t grow. So
