ARTICLES OF VALUE
TO tLKS FOUND
Dug From Debris of Colonial
Block.

Howard Smith one OF the members
of the firm which operates the Model
grocery, which was formerly located
in the Colonial block, while searching
through the ruins in the basement of
the fire Quilted block found IN a box
several articles OF great value to the
Richmond lodge OF Elks. Among the Sc
articles was the constitution and by
laws of the lodge. This was the only
copy in existence and the Elks had
about given up all hope OF ever find
ing 1t. The decorations of the various
lodge officers, the old gavel and cop
les Of the lodge songs were also found
in the box.
The constitution and the copies OF
the songs were badly water soaked
but otherwise uninjured. The officers
decorations were slightly rusted and
scorched but all still servicable. Mr..
Smith turned these valuable articles
over TO Arthur Burr, past exalted rul-
er Of the lodge.

BIG CROWDS ATTEND
Second Night of Druids' Jahr
Markt a Success in Ev-
cry Way.
MANY GOOD FEATURES.

An immense crowd took advantage
of the ideal weather conditions of last
evening and visited the DruidS' Jahr
Markt in Beallview. Street cars and
a small army of hacks were kept busy
carrying the people to and from the
carnival grounds. 1t is needless to
say that every Druid who was on duty
at the carnival last evening wore an
expansive and happy smile.
All of the numerous shows of the
big amusement company were running
last evening and they did land Of
flee business. The Robinson com
pany is one of the largest in the Unit
ed States and 1t has an unusual
large number Of excellent attractions.
One of the most interesting shows
on the grounds is the wild animal
show This attraction has an unus-
ually large number Of trained wild
beasts, including lions, leopards, hy-
enas and bears. They gave an excel
lent performance. In this show one
of the morbid centers of attraction is
the cage containing the big African
lion which nearly killed its trainer
last Saturday night at Middletown, o.
No performances with this vicious ami
NAL was given last evening owing to
the fact that a new trainer for him
has not yet been secured.
The electric fountain is one of the
best features ever introduced by a car
nival company in this city. 1t is a
beautiful spectacular show and it
charmed hundreds Of people who wit
messed the unique spectacle. Buck

Judge Fox as the "slickest" talker for
