Flying Ellet Family.

Other aerialists may have been
seen and admired, but it is freely
acknowledged fact that these
shows have a verirable monopoly
of the real artist gymnast of the
entire American show world.
First in any list would have to be
mentioned the Ellets. the incar
nation of grace and daring, whose
flights through the lofty dome of
the canvas pavilion covering the
arena are done with the ease and
abandon of birds. Rosters are
known as the Human Swallows -
and are close seconds to the Pot
ters, even surprising them in
strength and daring not SO grace
full, but then it must be remem-
bered that two of the Ellets are of
the gentler sex. The Lukens do
a most dangerous act on aerial
horizontal bars. fixed in the dome
of the canvas, feats that but few
men can do upon bars that may
be reached from the ground.
Only the features of this divis
ion of daring diversions are men,
tioned-and the cause is apparent
to all who continue to read this
all to brief tale of this towering
giant of circuses. The Frank A.

The Great Sousa.

John Philip Sousa, whose band
gave a concert in this city on
Friday last, the 18th inst, at
the City Opera House, was re
ceived with good audience. and
the master of the baton displayed
all of his old time energy as the
only Sousa The applause with
which he was greeted and the
encores received by his talented
performers fully demonstrated
that the musical talent of the
city we're present to see the great
band master and his company oi
soloists.

railroad question, the banking
question, the labor question, the
question of Imperialism, the de-
velopment of our Waterways, or
any other of the numerous prob

The Whole Party Rotten.

The Senate is crowded with

came scandal that most of the
Republican leaders who went to
Congress poor men after few
years came away bloated bond
holders. Allison, of Iowa, being
the single exception. 1t is too
late for the Republicans to make
a scapegoat of Foraker.
The Hearst-Foraker Archibold
incident is an object lesson of
tremendous reach. The purchase
of stolen letters, the shameless
use of these, their damaging dis
closures, make darksOme pict-
ure, and yet, on the other hand,
this picture is hardly more de-
pressing and discouragiug than
the exhibition of rank hypocrisy
aud cant which the revelations
have occasioned in that holy of
holies, the armed camp of Roose-
velt. Taft and Hughes, virtue

Weights and Measures

Many statistics have been compiled
from time to time to illustrate the

their groceries of Gus" and patriot
ically protecting home industries,
by subscribing for large chunk of
their capital stock. They tell us that
if we will only do as they say we will
become so rich and corpulent inside
of six months that our wealth will
simply be a burden to us.
We have always been in favor of
supporting home industry, provided,
Of course, that we happen to have
nice little industry on hand that
needed support. In such cases we
have conscientiously endeavored to
have our neighbors put in the cash
and take care of the liabilities while
we put in the experience, and other
good and valuable assets, and saw
that the profits settled lovingly in
our pockets. From all the statistics
we have seen this is the only true
business principle that will enable a
good and worthy citizen like our
self to pay for his automobile re

CORN VS.. SUMMER FALLOW.


A number of farmers in the Red
River valley, whose fields have be-
come full of weeds from long contin-
ued grain raising are well pleased
with the results of planting corn for
the purpose of both fertilizing the
soil for future grain crops and for
getting rid of foul weeds. Corn this
year is thrifty Corn planted by a
check row machine and the young
stalks cultivated in all directions de-
stroys most of the weeds. The ad-
vantage of growing corn on the field
is double for it saves the loss of a
years crop by summer fallow and re-
stores a good deal of fertility to the
soil. In some cases sheep and cattle
are turned into the field after frost
and allowed to eat the corn without
cutting. In other cases the corn is
cut, shocked and sold or used for
feed. In either case it is a valuable
crop. s
One reason why it is a valuable
crop is thus stated by an exchange:
Zone of the greatest advantages of
corn over the other crops is that con-
slant cultivation which it calls for in
the early stages of its growth. The
continued working of the ground
keeps the soil in much finer condi-
ton than the broadcast sowing and
the race between weeds and the other
grains. When corn culture is car
ried on there will be found excellent
land because of the care demanded
by the crop ITSELF" 5..s -.E@
