Those who saw the farce yesterday
were highly pleased.
Keeping a Show Together.
According to j. S. casweii, the YET
Gran Snowman, who spent several
days here recently, it costs from 49,
900 to $4,000 for any of the large road
shows or cIrcuscs to winter each year.
Mr.. Caswell, in speaking of winter
quarters, said:
Nearly every big Snowman in the
country puts UP his outfit as soon as
cold weather begins. Everything is
turned adrift to look out for them
selves. Even with no long salary list
| such showmen as Sells Brothers. Ring
, ling and men In that class spend oyer
| $4,000 each winter for storage and
taking care of their animals horses
and paraphernalia. Forcpaugh's circus
| costs nearer s75, to winter.
"Bostock Is the exception to tlls
rule. and is practically the only big
| Snowman who keeps his forces to-
| gether, looks out for all his employees
| through the winter, and keeps his
trainers and men employed the year
| round. Mr. BOstock could get every
| one OF his animals taken care OF free
Of cost by geological gardens in PHIL
| adelphin, Baltimore, Washington, New
/, York, st. Louis or any one of tho many
other cities all through the winter.
i These gardens would be glad to nave
them and keep them for the additional
attraction they would be. He prefers
| keeping his mon and trainers together
| all the year round, and the result is
| he has loyal men. his animals are bet
| ter cared for, and his acts are alwly
| the best of any Snowman in the coun-
+! try. The trainers never get stale, and
they are constantly devising new acts
| for their groups. Bostock himself Is a
wonder at getting UP new acts for lis
| trainers and animals, and they Lead
| lively life, while he is devising now
| ways and means of entertaining liAe
public"

CAUSE FOR MPLAlNT.

a dozen years ago the wage Garner
who had steady work al fair wages
was the happiest man in the commun-
ity because of the uncertain and un.
favorable conditions of business.
But unless he has had an increase in
proportion TO the increase of prices
in articlesI: of consumption he has
just cause for complaint When it
comes to building, the materials are
much higher now than they were In
former days: but the farmer can we'll
afford TO pay the higher rates because
of the better prices he gets for his
products. Take the price of q hun
dred bushels of corn or a ear OF
hogs or span OF horses today and it
will buy more hardware and machin-
cry than it would ten years ago

SUICIDE IN AUDUBON.
Mrs. Katharine Tibben Drown Her.
self in Water Tank.

The neighbors of the Tibben family
in Audubon township were greatly
shocked and grieved last Saturday
morning To hear that Mother Tibben
had taken her own life on Friday
night by drowning in the water tank
in the barnyard. Her husband has
been dead about seven years and she
has been at home with her daughter
Mrs. John Porter. Last week she
was visiting at the home of her son
Amos Tibben on an adjoining farm.
So far as we can learn she was in her
usual health which was fairly good,
and neither said nor did anything thai
attracted attention because OF its Pc
culiarity. When the hired man came
home about midnight he noticed some
thing white In the tank but thinking
that his employer had put white OBJ
ject there for the purpose OF soaring
him, he made no investigation.
When he was called Saturday morn.
ing he spoke of what he had seen ano
Mr.. Tibben went at once TO the tank
where he was Mortified to find the dead
body of his aged mother. She had re-
tired as usual but after the family
we're asleep had risen and left the
house in her night clothes, and leav'
ing her slippers beside the tank step
ed into about twenty inches of water
where she was drowned.
Sheriff Northup and Coroner Har'
mon being notified of the occurrence
went down and made an investigation
but the evidence that she had com.
mited suicideseemed so clear that ar
inquest was considered unnecessary

CURIOUS CONDITION

1t is a curious condition in this
state that the population in our peni-
tentiaries is decreasing while that in
our asylums is constantly increasing.
The criminals could be cared for at
one of the penitentiaries If necessary.
but the four large hospitals are filled
with the insane and the next legisla-
ture will probably be required to APP
propriate large sum for enlarge
ment or for another institution to ac-
commodate the unfortunate, The in
stitution for the feeble minded has
1900 inmates and 800 more in waiting
for vacancy. The conclusionseems to
be that our people are more prone to
weakness of mind than criminality of
and action.

GOOD ROADS IN REACH.

The use of the King Drag on the
streets of Audubon last week demon
strated very clearly that Iowa may
have good roads if they are dragged
at the proper time throughout the
year. In referring to this matter the
Shelby County Republican relates
that last year Soren Carlson
dragged the three-quarters OF a mile
OF road which runs through the farm
tenanted by him. When winter came
the roads were smooth and hard. i,
remained that way through the winter
When spring came, snow melted and
ran of quickly, and the road never
got bad. The balance OF the road,
all the way to Corley, was in extreme
ly rough and bad condition. The
road Mr.. Carlson dragged lies on ex
actly the same sort of ground as the
balance,
