Tire Alarms at Schools.

The city council will turn deaf ear to any plea from the school gov- ernors of Selma in reference to the city helping pay for the installation of fire alarm system in the school houses, as suggested by the chief of the Ire department.
 "The school fund IS 6 big slice of local taxation" said Mayor Atkins, in speaking of the matter recently, yet every time they want to do anything they come to the city for help.
 ssThey get a big slice of the peo- ple's tax money, yet seem to think that schools constitute all there is in d community. It hasn't been a week since we voted them an amount not to exceed $1,5oo for a school lot in East Selma
 It's about time to put a stop to it. and I. personally. shall oppose any financial contribution to the proposed fire alarm system coming from the city"

DRINKS OF CIRCUS DAY.

0ruuk0UU0S0s
Mayor Ingledue had large num-
Der of drunks before him this morning
as an aftermath OF the circus. He said
he was surprised that there we're no
crooks taken up in the wake Of the
show, as is usually the case. and there
was no trouble to amount to anything
for the police to handle.
Clement Johnson, commonly known
as "Arizona," an old soldier. charged
with intoxication, was paroled on his
promise of good behavior.
Charles Dewey. former employee of
the Iowa Central, now working for a
railroad at Des Moines said he would
probably have trouble holding his job
if he was put in, SO the mayor dis
charged him.
On the plea that he had blind
daughter, M. MITCHELL an elderly man
who said he lived on South Center
street, was released, while Mack Roach,
one-legged peddler, who said he was
hard up and was afraid that his horse,
in livery barn at Steamboat Rock,
might meet some dire fate, was also
sent on his way rejoicing free of PEN
atty. FL. Smith paid his fine of $4.85,
as did John Noonan. +
William De Lapp, whose guardian is

CROWD At CIRCUS
RECORD BREAKER
Many Turned Away in After
noon Because Seating Capa-
city Was Filled
STOP THE SALE OF TICKETS
Every Seat in the Big Tent Was Filled
at Afternoon Performance-Night
Crowd Numbered About s,ooo-circus
Took Approximately $4,000 Out of
Town--Went to oskaloosa.

What is estimated to be the largest
performance Of a circus in this city,
witnessed the show of the Ringing
Brothers Tuesday. A very conserva-
tive estimate puts the attendance at
not less than $4,000, and this estimate
Is probably under the actual number
The seating capacity of the mammoth
tent was Tiled and many OF the late
Corners were refused tickets because
there was no place to seat them.
Several hundred persons We're unable
to get iato the show In the afternoon
No standing room was sold, and as
soon as the show management was
advised that the seating capacity OF
the big tent was filled, the sale OF
tickets stopped. A large majority of
those who attended the circus in the
afternoon were from out Of the city.
Night Crowd Of Good Size.
The evening audience, altho of course
1t did not compare in size with the
afternoon attendance. was nevertheless
OF good size The night audience was
estimated at not far from 5000, most
of whom were residents OF this city.
Some of the evening trains brought
people to the city from nearby towns,
who were not able to attend the after
noon performance. 1t Is estimated that
the circus took about $4,000 out OF
town.
The night program differed in no
way from the one given in the after
noon, and 1t was of the same general
excellence. Among the equestrians,
both male and female, probably Daisy
Hodginis performance was the best.
She did some most difficult acts,
dressed in skirts of street length.
Eugene Patty, the man who walks
and goes down stairs on his head,
double somersault automobile, and the
three bands Of trained elephants, We're
only some Of the other prominent fea-
lures Of the program.
Circus Coos to Oskaloosa.
From here the circus went to Oska-
loosa, where 1t shows today. The work
Of loading was begun early in the ev-
ening, and the first train pulled out Of
the union station at $40 o'clodk. The,
last train left at lao o'clock this morn
ing. All arrived in Oskaloosa by day
light. The trip was made by all OF
the trains without accident.

NIGHT NURSE.

Kept in Perfect Trim by Right Food.
Nursing the sick Is often very bur-
densome to the nurse.
Night nursing is liable to be even
more exhausting from the fact that the
demands Of the system for sleep are
more urgent during the night hours.
A Va. lady called on to act as night
nurse in the family, found the greatest
support from the use of Grape-Nuts
food. She says:
"Our acquaintance with Grape-Nuts
began eight years ago. We bought the
first package sold in this place, and al
tho we began as skeptics we became
converts to its striking food value.
II used Grape-Nuts first, to sustain
me when doing night nursing for a
member of the family. ! ate q tea
spoonful at time and by slowly chew
ing it I was able to keep awake and
felt no fatigue.

very much and after our patient re-

MANY IN DANGER
Lives impsrilsd at Union Station by
immense Crowd Of People That
Fought and Showed to Get on Trains
MANY Special Trains Run.

Lives were imperfled and for time
the greatest disorder prevailed at the
union station Tuesday evening when
the immense crowd, that numbered
several thousand people, which was
here from out of town attending the
circus, boarded the iiutgting trains.
That no one was killedsfor injured
was due more to mere chance than
otherwise.
Despite the efforts of Train Caller
C. A. Deuel., half dozen policemen,
and as many railroad employees, the
crowd showed, pushed and crowded and
repeatedly got in the path Of incoming
trains The jam on some of the trains
was so great that the train crew had
to cling to the steps as the trains
pulled out.
To relieve the congestion special
trains were run on both the North
western and Iowa Central The former

west as Colo, leaving here at S 45, and
another in the same direction at IL
o'clock. A special e.ast-bound train
was sent out at about s o'clock. Two
trains were run by the Central on the
Story City branch. The first left short
ly after o'clock, and ran as far as
st. Anthony. The second departed at
IL O'Clock and went to Story City.
Altho all of the regular trains last
evening carried additional cars they
were all packed, and still there were
many who could not even get on.

The following letter was received by
Henry Weber this morning, from one
Of the largest dealers of coal in Hill

ITO the Trade
ITO the expert In railroad matters
and the keen observer of general bus
mess conditions, 1t appears inevitable
that an unusually severe famine Of cars
will develop this season very shortly
after the general placing of coal or
ders begins. So strong is this belief
among the railroad officials that all
bad order cars are now being put in
good order as rapidly as possible"
The above ought to be as strong evil
dence as is necessary to convince any
one that now is the time to buy coal.
Don't get caught with the coal bin
empty when the coal and car shortage
comes. / have plenty of all kinds of
