Being as we (editorially speaking
have went thru a hard winter. and have
been fetched up several times lately by
several parties to settle up accts.. and
have not got emmy money to pay off our
debts, and furthermore don't expeckt to
git emmy TO speak of, we accordingly
most respectfully ask each and all of our
subscribers to the Bingville Bugle to pay
US something on their subscripshions.
Be It ever so little we viii except the
money with CRATE cheer and rejoicing,
and insted of trying 70 skimp erlong and
run this publickashion on air and good
wishes ard living from hand to mouth,
as you might say, we will be pleased to
waller in the lap of luxury and afflooe-
nee awhile.
We ask each and all of our subscrib-
ers to pay us something because we have
went over our books very careful and
we ind to our extreme horror that we
have no subscribers to the Bugle but
whot owes us somethink, and for that
reason we make no exceptishion of en-
nybuddy to pay up-we simply treat ev-
erybuddy alike 50 that nobuddy can say
We showed favoritism. Some owes US
more and some owes US less, but every
buddy owes Us. Il has long been a che
rished dream of ours to git the Bugle
on such business basis that people wo~
uld pay US in advance instead of arrears
or not tall, as menny does. This is a
turrible beautiful theory, but we have
found out it won't work out in pracktis.
People of Bingville and visinnity seems
Ito have horror of paying their subscri-
pshions in advance; we call1ilate the re-
ason is that they are afraid they might
die and would then be cheeted out of
getting the worth of their money. On
the other hand, if they die owing rs then
they don't care-they die in peece and
their condolences rest easy because they
know they are going to a place where
we wouldn't dare foller them in order to
collect what they owe us-they know
that We would ruther lose the money
than take the chance of being scorched
jest to get few dollars.
We have made it rule to be kind to
them as owes us even on sickbeds. and
we have done ali we could to cheer them
Up and restore them to health so that
they would have another chance 10
liquidate their obligations to us, but the
best we could do, several OF our subscri-
bers who have owed us died on our
hands, owing us ennywher from SO TO
SIS. We don't think this Just right and
honorable-no man ort to 60 and die
until he has squared up his debts to the
Bugie. He ort to be everlastin ashamed
OF hisself to be took to the graveyard |
and planted, and have It sed to his mem
ory: He owes the Bugle S17" or as
much as the case may be. It is for this |
reason that we now ask you to come up |
and pay whot you owe. Don't die in |
debt and disgrace, but help support your |
hons paper and keep US out of the sher- |
riffs hands.

BIG CIRCUS TO VISIT
LOS ANGELES SEPT. ~
Barnum and Bailey Shows VIII Elk
hlblt Here TWO Days-Monster
Street Parade Is Feature
of Attraction

Barnum & Bailey's circus will be In
Los Angeles September ~ and rs. -Four
performances will be given, grounds
having been secured on Washington
street, between Main and Grand ave-
nue.. Street parades will be held each
morning.
The history of the Barnum g. Bailey
circus Is part of the history of amuse-
ments In America. With the stalwart
p r. Barnun as its originator and
founder and pioneer, and its earlier
achievements perpetuated by James A.
Bailey, the management has ever main
tanned q standard Of magnitude and
strength.
There is not a land SO remote but
the management has an agent there,
and not city of any size in any coun-
try where the circus has not exhibited
With the advantage of this foreign
prestige, the entire world in business
sense becomes the store house of this
circus from which it draws from time
to time all that is strange and interest
ing for exhibition purposes.
This years program Is one of unus-
ual interest. 1t embraces all the Euro
pean talent which appeared during the
past summer, the menagerie has been
vastly Increased and various other orig
inal features have been added.
The regular program is introduced
this season by a spectacle more gor-
geous and interesting than those of the
past, and the long program ends with
hair-raising, breath-stopping twin
automobile somersault act which has
been given the name autos that Pass
in the Air" The name is brief ex-
planation, the automobiles actually en-
circling each other while leaping a wide
gap.

CITY SWARMING WITH
THIEVES AND TAKERS
ANNUAL INFLUX HAS BEGUN
EARLIER THAN USUAL
Chief of Police Kern Issues Orders
That Suspicious Characters Be
Rounded Up and Driven
Out of Town

The influx of yeggmen, tramps.
takers and other undesirables from
the east has commenced earlier than
usual this year, and already numbers
of these classes have begun to arrive
in Los Angeles.
The fact that the petty burglar, the
room worker and sneak thief have been
more than usually active within the
past two or three weeks gave notice
to the police that the annual influx OF
eastern criminals had commenced, and
Chief of Police Kern issued orders that
every suspicious character be rounded
up and driven out of town.
In following out this order number
of arrests nave been made within the
past few days by the detectives, and
last night three more prisoners We're
added to the waiting list of those who
are to be banished from this sunny
southland.
Detectives Murray and Mccain arr
rested at Fifth and Main streets Ralph
S. Adams, w. II. Virgins and Frank
Martin This corner within the past
few months has become headquarters
for takers, soap peddlers, bankers of all
classes and phony jewelry men, and
new arrivals are speedily drawn there
by the attractiveness of the layout
Adams, Virgins and Martin are
typical takers in appearance and belong
to the class which. the police would
rather have somewhere else than In
Los Angeles.
This morning they will be presented
in police court, and 1t is hoped they
NAV get a floater sentence so that they
may be shipped out of town or, by rea-
son of the chain gang penalty hanging
over them be kept away.

BLIND MEN INDULGE
IN FIST FIGHT NEAR
STEPS OF CITY HALL
Notion Peddler Takes offense When
Fellow Sufferers Cane Strikes
His Legs-Both Try for
Knockout

AS the result of a fight In which he
engaged with ''Blind Johnny yester-
day afternoon John Young, the old
blind man who sells shoe laces and
notions on the city hall steps, probably
will have to move and may be COM
PEELED to pay the city rs cents week
for the privilege he now enjoys of SELL
ing his wares on the street.
The old man has a testy temper.
Yesterday afternoon Blind Johnny"
who plays a little hand organ on the
street corners, came down Broadway
feeling his way with the aid of his
cane. AT the city hall steps his cane
became entangled with Youngs legs
and in trying to extricate 1t poked the
notion seller little. Young used some
strong language and Blind Johnny
also spoke sharply. In a few minutes
both blind men were trying hard to
hit each other. Neither could see
where to plant his blows and not much
damage was done. Blind Johnny's"
camp stool was broken in the fracas.
Out of pity for his sightless eyes
Young has the permission of the mayor
to occupy his station at the foot of the
city hall steps, He also enjoys the
privileg of a free permit to sell no.
ruled is against the law. This ruling
has caused much hardship among
worthy poor people, because since the
decision was given the mayor has re-
fused to issue any more free licenses.
No licenses to sell notions can be Sc
cured by anyone without paying the
city rs cents a week.
Young a short time ago nearly lost
the mayors favor through well au-
thenticated reports that he had placed
advertisements in newspapers for q
housekeeper, and when women made
application for the place 1t Is alleged
Young made them improper proposals.
Women also have complained that
when they have stopped out of pity
to buy some little thing from him he
has spoken improperly to them.
While the city officials and clerks
are ordinary human beings and have
as much of the milk of human kind
ness about them as any other class of
persons, they characterize him as I'M
worthy of much consideration and all
declare they would be pleased If the
mayor would revoke the permit where
by he is permitted to have his station
in front of the city hall.
The other combatant in the blind
mems fight, Blind Johnny,"-is one of
the best known characters on the
streets of Los Angeles. He has APP
peared before the city council to plead
In the interests of his blind brethren
when measures have been introduced
that in any way affected them and al
ways won his cases.
