merrick and Band Among

Merrick and Band Among the
many numerous characteristics which
have secured popularity for the Wal
lace shows is its musical department.
Its several bands are not wind jam
mers" and creators of noise. but they
play strains of popular melody and
classical music. so as to favor the pa
irons of the circus with a high class
musical entertainment. Professor Mer-
rick and his augmented concert band
of artists are capable of entertaining
the most critical concert audience So
far superior is Merrick's big band to
the ordinary travelling show brass
bands that it is remarked upon by nov
ices as well as by musicians. For 40
minutes preceding the two perform
ances to be given in this city June 8,
Merrick's excellent band will play a
high class program of delightful num-
bers. 1t is advisable that patrons of
the Wallace circus should go early, SO
as to avail themselves of the oppor
tunity of hearing a musical treat free
of any extra charge.
Some things About kubeiIk.-kube-
lik has three famous violins-a Strad
ivarius and two Amati. The "Strad."
was once the property of Ole Bull and
is the finest specimen of its make in
existence. The two Amati are equally
valuable historically. These precious
violins have a special keeper-an old
HindOo who has been with the violin
list for years and who regards his trust
with all the fanaticism of his race.

wlNTERsET FOR PERKINS.
Governor cummins Loses First eau.
cuses in Home District.


Des Moines, Ia, April A. Gov,
Cummins has lost the first caucuses
to be held in his home congressional
district. For weeks he has carried on
a strenuous campaign in Madison
county, but the caucuses held last
night at Winterset, the county seat,
went strongly against him. The Per-
kins men carried three Of the four
wards of the city. In the last guber.
material contest at winterset Cum
minis carried the city by popular
majority of AZ, giving him the 20 del
egates Of the city in the county con-
vention. The three wards carried
last night by the friends of Perkins
are entitled to 16 deIegates and the
one ward carried by Cummins to sew
en-, net Perkins gain OF 16. The
indications now are very strong that
Perkins will carry tie county. The
result at winterset is very numiIiating
to the Cummins forces, inasmuch as
they have arranged for school house
speaking campaign in the country pre-
cincts, and in their guinness they are
considering the advisability OF aban-
doning these and concentrating their
energies elsewhere. Cummins was
to have made second speech at Win
terset next Wednesday.

TWO EARLY VISITORS.
The AL Mendenhall Family Have
Exciting Experience.

To have visitors before breakfast is
unusual, but when those visitors are
two runaway horses who intrude on
the privacy of ones bedroom, sudden
ly and without warning, and as one is
dressing, is indeed out of the ordinary
Such was the experience of Mr.. and
Mrs. Al Mendenhall, who were visited
after that fashion at their home, corner
D street and Fifth avenue, by couple
of runaway animals from the Morrow
livery.
Mr.. Mendenaall, had Leen up few
minutes and was building the fire. His
wife had Just arisen ana was donning
her clothing when suddenly two
horses dashed their heads through the
wide window of the bedroom and scat
tering broken glass in every direction,
there remained. The animals were
brought to full stop by the force OF
their jolt against the nouse and were
soon under control. Fortunately the
window was large enough to escape
further damage to either the animals
or the house.
The team had been running at a
terrific rate down D street, and struck
post in front OF the Mendenhaii
home in such way as to throw them
around and up against the house,
