According to one Of the more elaborate

the kings appeared the maiden's afilc-
tion ceased. Thereupon her father caught
two beams OF the star in vase, and
many other epileptics were cured by look
ing upon them. From this incident arose
the popular belief that the names OF the
three kings were charm against cpl

a pilgrim to the Holy Land secured them,

A MOVING CITY OF
GREAT ENCHANTMENT
The Well-ileseryed Title of the Hag-
enbeck-Wallace Shows Which
soon Appear Here.

Never in the annals of circus his
tory has such a pretentious and orig
mai amusement enterprise ever been
projected as the augmented Hagen
beck-Wallace' Shows, which exhibit
here July 20. In their present en-
larged size, including three-ring cir
Gus. trained wild animal show. Eu-
ropean exhibitions and Oriental ex-
position features, this big amusement
enterprise is popularity called The
Moving City of Enchantment.' a title
well earned and one that will cling 10
it for years to come.
Three hundred arenic champions of
every class participate in the circus
programmes. They have been re-
cruited in The main from continental
circuses aud the majority of them
are now making their first American
appearance. This introduction of
new faces and new acts will un-
doubtedly be of interest to the pub

stant repetition of the same pro-
grammes year after year. Three
rings. two elevated stages a quarter
mile track. and a forest of overhead
rigging are required for the feats and
exploits OF companies of aerialists
presenting mid-air circus: individ-
ual riders and duos. trios and troupes
of equestrlans in splendid and diver
sified feats of horsemanship: forty
clowns in hilarious antics: two score

lers in International contests: sew
eral companies of high wire perform
ers' symnasts, acrobats and contor-
tionists; dancing advertisement and
ballets; beautiful and inspiring
tournaments; thrilling races and
numerous acts, so unlike anything
hitherto presented that they are
designated as features The trained
wild beast performances will be given
in large steel girt arenas and inter

Portland. Ore. July 20.-Accord-
ing TO local traffic officials of the
Hartman system, scores of people
bound for the Alaska -Yukon-Pacific
exposition are arriving here from
the east possessing tickets whose
western destination is Portland
These people allege that when
they bought the tickets they were
assured that the Portland officials
would issue necessary transportation
from this city to Seattle and return
without additional cost. In some
cases, ii is alleged. tourists have ex-
hibited railroad folders containing
this misstatement. The Portland
traffic officials are advising in such
cases that holders of the tickets take
receipts for the fare to Seattle and
return and make demand upon the
railroad company issuing the ticket
for a refund of the amount.

The estimated yield of wheat will
leave surplus of about 100 million
bushels for export after providing for
home consumption, so that there is
no danger of shortage in the sup
ply of that kind of food At present
prices the farmers will realize good
returns on their wheat crop and be
supplied with plenty of money when
trade opens in the fall
Corn being the most important of
all crops. the country has special rea-
son to rejoice at the excellent pros
pect for an enormous yield of that
cereal. 1t supplies a large part of
the food OF man; but it is chiefly to
be considered as feed for live stock.
Thus indirectly large corn crop
increases the supply of meat for hu-
man CONSUMPTION and enlarges the
trade in cattle and hogs. With so
large a crop as the one indicated
corn will probably be cheap; but the
farmers will be able to market it by
feeding a larger number of hogs and
cattle, for which good prices will un-
doubtedly be obtained
With big crops the country will be
in an excellent position for the looked
for revival in trade and which is al
most sure to come as soon as business
and industrial conditions are adjust
ed to the provisions of the revised
tariff. The farmers will make ex-
tensive purchases and thus the coun-
try merchants will be able to send in
large orders to the jobbers and the
latter to the manufacturers Denver

 AT BR0PHY IS HELD

W. x. Bowers who took shot al James Brophy at Lowell last Sunday was bound over to the grand jury by Justice Murphy yesterday morning. His bail was fixed at $500, which was furnished by the accused man. When Bowers was ara gned he refused to make any statement concerning the shooting. declaring that he had noth. ing to say. No witnesses were called in his behalf although three witnesses testified for the prosecution.

When the altercation was over Bowers went to his home and returned with a revolver. He is said to have fired directly at Brophy. but the bull let went wide of its mark.

She gazed here and there about the store as sine entered. and finally going up to the dealer she looked at him quizzicaiiy over her glasses and asked: Do you keep carpet sweepers2"

 Just moment. madam. until ge: them from the rear of the store And with that he went to an obscure cor ner and took down the carpet-swsspers from their hooks upon the wall. It happened that in front of one of the makes which he desired there was a lawn mower so hung that he had to move it. He took it down from the hook and as he did so It rolled along the floor with grinding rattle.
 Before he had time to turn around he heard the old lady shout from the front of the store: That makes moro noise than my old one. and I don, care to look at it." and so saying. size whisked out to the door. leaving the dealer to wonder whether the joke was worth the loss of the sale.-Portlanc Express.

OUR EXTENSIVE
 RAILWAY SYSTEMS

In view of the fact that the welfare nf the coIatrv Is so intimats's Ie- lated to the last system of rail says with which it is covered. the G'Tl statistics of our railways, and a com parison of these with the records of earlier years. are of never-failing 1n- terest. We have, says the Scientific American. before us the railway statis- tics of this country as prepared by MT. Slason Thompson of the Bureau of Railway News and Statistics. in which the standing of our railways for the year 1908 is compared with their condition in the two previous decades.
 At the close of the fiscal year 1908, the total number of miles of lines in the United States was 230.000, as com pared with 136.SS3 in 1888 and 1S4.- 64S in 1898. The net capitalization is 13.000,007,0f2. an increase of 39.s per cent over the figures of 1898. The gross earnings for 1908 of s2.44S,s35.- 900 were nearly double those of 1898. Ten years ago the total number of pas sengers carried ore mile was about 13.3 billions. In ten years time this has increased over 120 per cent. reaching a total of 29.5 billions. A marked increase has taken place in freight traffic: for whereas the num- Der of tons of freight carried one mile In 1898 was over IA billions, last year it was over 122 billions. The passenger revenue per passenger mile. which is 1888 was 24.9 cents and in 1898 had decreased to 1873 cents and in 1908 to 1883 cents. In the decade from 1888 to 1898 there was decrease in freight revenue from 10 cent per mile to 0.753 cent at which latter figure it also stood in 1908.
 Very significant of the growth of our railroads is the great increase in the number and weight of locomotive and cars. Ten years ago the total number of locomotives was 36.234. During the last decade there has been an increase of 57.7 per cent to a to- tai of 57.156 locomotives. Even more remarkable has been the increase of 115.3 per cent in the total weight of the locomotives The number of pas senger cars has increased from 33,- 595 to 4i.623. The total number of freight cars has risen from i.2is .S26 10 2,130.fl0. an increase of over 70 per cent, but their capacity has in creased of over 120 per cent. from over 32.0o0.000 tons to over 100000 tens. In 1898 the total number of em- ployes was STA .55S. Last year the total was 1.451 900. an increase in the ten years of over 67 per cent. During the year there was paid out in comDensa- ton to employees over 1000. .ooO,OOO. which is an increase of f10 per cent over the amounts so paid out in 1898. Figures such as these tell most elo- quently the story of the phenomenal development of the country during the past decade. That the prosperity of the railroads is intimately associated with that of the whole country is proved by the fact that in the twelve months that followed the panics the railways suffered loss of over s330,- 0O0, 900 in gross earnings.
