BIG CIRCUS EXPENSES.
Barnum & Bailey Shows Eat Up .5rg. Much Money.

According to w. D. Coxey, one of the agents of the show who called at this office this morning, the Barnum & Bailey circus will prove revela- tion to local show-goers.
 There are many interesting fea- lures of the big show, however" said Mir Coxey, that the public never sees The paraphernalia is impressive in its magnitude, and the perform ance sends the crowd away filled with wonderment, but the motor power behind the big show and the mar velous organization that makes its operation possible is not in evidence to that part of the people which sees the performance and the multifari- ous exhibitional features, and noth- ing else.
 'The Barmun & Bailey show em- ploys the services of nearly eleven hundred men and women; it requires city to city, its staff of agents em- braces a dozen men who are paid salaries equal to those received by eighty-eight cars to transport it from bank president; it has four adver- Using cars, and nearly hundred men are engaged in posting the bills and spreading the tidings of it's com ling; it spends a quarter of a million 'dollars every year for printing its newspaper bills aggregate another hundred thousand dollars; it main- tains press bureau with five news paper men to keep in touch with the public through the press; 1t employs over 300 high salaried performers; 1t maintains a spectacle at an average expense of $1,000 day; 1t comes in to town at daybreak, puts up twelve thousand acres of tent. plays to from 15,0O0 to 25,000 spectators, and the next day is doing the same thing a hundred miles away; 1t carries It's own commissary department, feeds it's hundreds of employees in great dining tents as we'll and as generous ly as a first class hotel, and far more expenditiously; handles through It's ticket wagons and financial depart ment from s5,000 to $15.000 every day and costs from s5,o00 to $7,o0O every day it runs.
 The performance is given on a colossal scale and the menagerie is immense. A dozen different exhibi- tions are given for one price of ad- mission, and every way one turns there is something suggested by the magnitude and broad guage character of the great show.
 The lack of a parade is, however more than compensated for by a number of sensational big acts, in which the very last word in reckless daring seems to have been said These include thrilling somersaults in mid-air on bicycles and automo' piles, and other startling feats. In cidentally, an attractive free show is given on the exhibition grounds prior to the opening of the doors, af' ternoon and evening. The Barnun & Bailey circus is greater than ever this year. and am sure this will be the universal opinion after 1t has ex' hibited in this city Tuesday. June 12

!" THE LITTLE MINISTER"


 E One of the prettiest and most eff fective scenes in The Little Minister, which the Poli players are presenting at the Jacques this week opens the second act. The weavers of Thrums at the instigation of the Lady Babbie disguised as a gypsy girl have made stand against the soldiers, stoned the officers of the queen and other wise misbehaved. When law and order are again restored there is a great hue and cry for the cause of the riot and Babbie is at last taken into the hands of the soldiers and brought before Captain Halliwell for judgment She has used her wits on the sheriff of Thrums to such good effect that she has once escaped and confident of her. strength, promptly lays siege to the captains suseptibil- ties. There is a, pleasing passage of wits and then Babbie attempts to make her escape only to be caught when she is at the threshold of the room and brought back. The door is locked and the captain starts in to rebuke his prisoner, who maintains her laughing mood. There is knock at the door and the moment it is opened for the sheriff's entrance Bab- bic blows out the only candle in the room, hides behind the door until the sheriff has entered and then slips out, locking in the captain and the bewildered officer of the civil law, who stand staring into each others faces, convinced that the gypsy is after all witch of uncommon pow CTS. The scene is played with a great deal of skill and delicacy by Helene Warde as Babbie, Guy Maynard as captain Halliwell and Billy Walsh as the sheriff. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10. Souvenirs Friday after noon.

so much for Mr.. Hunt and our bill
of particulars" against him, which we
trust are stated with a frankness en-
tirely satisfactory TO the Standard; and
now We return TO certain other state
ments made by that journal which we
deem so ill-advised that we are willing
TO credit them to its bitterness of spirit
and not to its sober judgment. 1t says
of the Independent:
Let the enemy traffic in such illegit-
innate argument If it wants to, but for
any member Of the Republican party,
which has been so substantially bene-
hted by Mormon votes, to do so, is
ngratitued Of the basest kind. Nor
mon votes must have looked pretty
good to the Independent at election
time, and it i'll becomes that paper to
turn up it's nose now.
How will that do for Democratic
campaign thunder? Could the Inde-
pendent furnish any better? we ask
any astute politician 1t IS right there
in cold type. The Mormons have de-
hvered the goods, Mormon paper says
so, and now they demand their reward,
and that reward is the sepakership.
To refuse them this small favor is IN
gratitude
well, that may be good politics, but
the Independent, for one, wants none of
it Bad politics, treason to the party,
call it what you like, if this paper be-
heved that the sepakership for J. Frank
Hunt was the price of Republican sue
cess in this state. it would rather that
not man on the Republican state
ticket had been elected But it does not
believe ii, win never believe it, in spite
of the Standards insinuations, unless
the next house of representatives COM
mits this shameful act which Repubh-
cans beiieeving IN honest politics op-
pose.

less ~Polygamy" bill and his friends
boasted that the Republican party of
Idaho had fulfilled its pledges to the
letter, while he opposed the other two
bills with all the influence that he
could command, and at one time
jumped down upon the floor Of the
house and delivered an impassioned
TRADE against them, claiming that they
were an insult to his people. For po-
litical reasons IT might be considered
policy to keep these things hidden, if It
could be done. but such thing IS i'm
possible, and it is better for Republi-
cans to bring the matter up now and
settle IT in the right way than to wait
for the Democrats to use it again with
deadly effect in the next campaign as
they did in the last
'And why did Mr.. Hunt act as he
did? Could such bills as he opposed
hurt the innocent? Could prosecutions
be brought against the Mormons under
the Unlawful Cohabitation" bill any
more than against the -Mormons, if
the former were not more guilty than
the latter? And should not Mormons
and non-M Mormons alike be prosecuted
if they were guilty Of unlawful cohab-
itation, and shouldn't we have law
covering such an offense that is really
effective? All OF these questions must
have occurred to Mr. Hunt; for no one
has charged that he lacks perspicacity;
and in taking the stand he did, there
fore, no one can doubt that he did so
with his eyes open and fully determined
to abide by the consequences
Now We are not going to charge that
Mr. Hunt fought the Unlawful Cohabi-
tation" bill and the Change Of Venue"
bill at the dictation OF his church TO
protect its members in unlawful prac-
tices; for we have no means Of know
ing whether he did or did not, and
would require proof to believe that such
a shameful condition existed. We sim
ply charge that he did fight them with
all the power that he possessed, that in
so doing he violated the pledges Of his
party, and that any man who violates
the pledges Of hi sparty, be he Mormon
or non-Mormon, should never again be
honored by that party with responsible
position, much less with one of such i'm
portanoe as that OF speaker of the

The question can be asked
in all seriousness for the charge is
made by those who are familiar with
the tactics employed to secure Mr..
Coles nomination at the Duluth con-
vention that it was dictated by the big
lumber interests of the state. Events
before and since the convention are
corroborative of this report and where
there is much smoke there must be
some fire. How much better off will
the people of Minnesota be with man
in the governors chair who would re-
present the lumber barons than they
would have been two years ago with
the merger representative elected?
This is a question for the voter to
consider. To use the words of the
Dispatch, ''the governorship of
Minnesota is no place for a mort
gagged man." and there is no mort
gage on Governor Johnson

The St. Paul Dispatch in very
dys peptic editorial accuses Hon. L. A.
Rosing of giving more attention to
politics than he does to his dusies as
member of the board of control. It
has been our observation, and we
have had occasion to know something
about the work of the board of con-
troll, that Mr.. Rosing is one of the
most efficient members, either past or
present, of this important board, and
there have been some excellent men
on that board-such men as G.. A.
Morey, Vim. E. Lee, J. A. Martin and
J. F. Jacobson, besides the present
members. Rosing has done one thing
that entities him to the kindly consi-
deration of the people. He has put a
stop to the secret letting of contracts,
which was the open door to scandal
and grating. If Rosing's ability as
a politician is responsible for the
quality of his work as member of
the board, we hope the other members
will use some of the same brand.

SALOON REGIME BEGINS.

Mayor Qvale cast his lot with
the reactionary forces in the city
council last Monday night, and
before this paper reaches it's
readers it may be possible to buy
strong drinks in places legalized
and established by the City of
Willmar. We publish elsewhere
the Mayors message that he de-
livered in connection with his
vote. It speaks for itself, and
needs no comment from the TR1B-
UNE. The mayors vote was a
keen disappointment to many of
his friends and to supporters and
sympathizers with the better or
der of things at Willmar which
has existed during the last few
years. The movement has been
watched with the closest interest
not only in the surrounding coun-
try but in all the cities and towns
in this part of the state.
It is freely predicted that the
saloon regime will be shortlived
in the city. If the temperance
forces are wise they will learn
something from the tactics of the
saloon crowd. The mayors
action will force a realignment of
the opposing forces and change
in leadership of the local temper
ance forces. It will be impossi-
BILE for the saloons to live up to
the ideals which some people have
been deceived into believing they
can be brought to, for the simple
reason that the evil is inherent in
the business and cannot be regu-
lated out of it. Indeed the more
respectable" and inviting the
saloons are made the more de-
moralizing they will be to many
of the best class of our young
men.
The solution of the question at
Wi]lmar is a county option law,
that will permit all the people of
the comm unity who are directly
interested to vote on the ques-
ton, and that is the solution to
which every person who wishes
to see the question permanently
settled should now bend their
best energies.

Mr.. Cole is handicapped.

Annanda'e Advocate, (Rep): Gov
ernor Johnson was re-nOminated by
the Democratic convention held at
Minneapolis on Tuesday. He has
made most excellent governor and
despite the fact that he received many
votes in revenge instead of admira-
ton will make a strong run this time.
Mr.. Cole the republican nominee is
handicapped by a following who
threw down Jacob jacobson in the in
terest of corporations, when it became
evident that they would defeat him at
the polls. So we might call this a
Handicap campaign" and we can
ouly guess how it will wind up.
