EASEMENTS ARE DAM
Land Near Aryilla Very Moist
Water in Nearly all the
Easements.

Superintendent Pat Mahon of the
county hospital and poor farm was a
we'll known visitor in the city yes
terday. Superintendent Mahon in
conversation with an Evening Times
representative, stated that the land in
the vicinity of Arvilla is still very
wet. Several farmers have attempted
to put their teams onto the fields but
they have found everything too wet
to work. He expects to start plow-
ing on the county property on Monday
next but good weather will be neces-
sary even for next week.
AS an example of the conditions
in that vicinity Mr.. Mahon cited the
predicament of the householders with
cellars under their property. Every
cellar is full except where pumping
operations have been continued since
the wet season started in. At the
county hospital in the early part of
the spring Mr.. Mahon found himself
in quite a dilemma with the water
rising rapidly in the cellar and with
heating plant under water. However
pump was installed and the base
ment bailed out. The pump has been
kept working ever since that time.

Had better keep away.
Barnum & Bailey's circus is due in
Mankato some time during this season.
The date is not made public. but the
advance heralds have made their APP
pearance. The press agent is beginning
to establish friendly relations with the
newspaper offices, and the way is be-
ing paved for the advent of the mon
ster aggregation of the wonders of
land and sea. and other features
which make the circus alike attrac-
tive to old and young. especially papa
who goes to take a look at the ami
out of watching the girl who rides
the horses around the ring.
This year the circus contains much
that is new. while the old familiar
acts, without which circus would be
but sham. are given as they have
been for more years than most of the
old boys have memory to cover. AS
an eye-opener, a suggestion Of the
good things to come. there is page
ant of the nations" This develops
into what is called "the tournament
of the garlands" in which score of
horsemen go through intricate figures
with floral ropes. The effect is very
pleasing to the eye.
The Novelties.
One of the decided novelties is pro-
viied by the Novelties. troupe of
eight versatile performers. who COM
bine acrobatic work, juggling and ami
NAL training. The troupe includes
two elephants. two ponies and four
dogs. Four bewhiskered coolies and
japanese jinriksha man complete
the troupe. A sensational feature is
provided when man is hurled sky
ward on catapult provided by an
elephant on see-saw.
The Siegrist Silbon troupe provide
an "unequaled and. unapproachable
display of desperately dangerous
aerialism" and it is all of that. There
are ten in all in the troupe. and they
perform with grace and clock like
precision.
Howelsen. apparently is not all the
management claims as to danger and
daring. but it is new, it is novel, it
is graceful and it pleased. The jump
err shoots down a creased slide from
ti1e up VI lne arena, IS preclpltated
from sharp rise at the bottom and
sails thirty or forty feet through
space. over ''grewsome gap"
Striking Feature.
Among other features are the La
Carmen troupe, bevy of young wo.
men who perform on the high wire;
a seal which rides horseback, dogs
which loop the loop, and the Boiler
Brothers in their twin twirls of ter
ror."
The old favcrite fun-mahng clowns
present new frolics, including the
Teddy Bear, who in an automobile
labeled Brain Storm, No. $780," is
blown up. The clowns made up as
Indians also appear on a "rubberneck
wagon" and do a sun dance" that
kept the audience in a furore of
laughter.

IT REGULATES TELEGRAPH
The Lines In North Dakota Are to- be
Under Official Supervision in
the Future.

Among the bills which became
law at the last session was H. B. 312,
introduced by Representative Murphy
of Stutsman county. 1t relates to the
regulation of telegraph service within
the state. All persons and corpora
lions doing public telegraph BUSH
ness must maintain sufficient wires
and equipment to give prompt SER
vice and all messages must be deliver
ed promptly II it is within the power
OF the company to locate the person
addressed and all prepaid messages
must BE transmitted promptly and not
remain untransmitted after deposit
ing in the Office of the company for
more than thirty minutes, unless an
accident has occurred to the lines,
such as a broken wire during severe
storms. A penalty is attached to fail
ure to comply with the law. The law
was passed in the interests of farm
ers. grain men and others who have
experienced delay and sometimes
losses in the neglect of telegraph
companies to transmit messages
promptly. The new law goes into
effect July and If it has the desired
effect of increasing promptness of the
telegraph service for public business
many interests in the state and many
people will be thankful for Mr.. Muir
