yond all doubt one OF the best mn-

The attendance, however, was not up
TO the expectations OF the committee
who arranged for the concerts. In
stead Of defraying expenses It was
found that the receipts of the even

and the members or the committee
were obliged to draw upon their own
accounts TO make mp the deficiency.
The committee had planned on CIV

patronage was so poor last night II
may be that the proposed engage

What commenced with a keen
rivalry between the notaries APP
pointed here to take and receive APP
plications for lands in the Flathead
Indian reservation has now developed
into war that may mean the exter-
mination of all of them should the
chamber of commerce carry out its
threats The trouble has all arisen
over the fact that many Of the no
taries haze secured locations near
the depots OF the railroads compa-
MES and succeed In registering all
Of the applicants before they can
reach any OF the uptown notaries.
Many OF the notaries have gone 50
far as to leave their tents and tenn
porary structures and have gone 10
where the crowd was the thiekest
and taken applications This has not
only aroused the ire of the uptown
notaries. but also those who do not
care to leave their temporary struc-
lures and enter into a race for busl-
ness in this manner, and a war be-
tween them is waging.
Chamber OF Commerce Takes Hand.
So serious has the situation grown
in the var Of the nOtaries upon eac1
other for business that the chamber
Of commerce has decided 70 take :
hand in the game. The chamber Of
commerce Is opposed to the present
tactics pursued. because Il Is not
giving the nOtaries who are paying

to secure any business. and also be-
cause the registering of applicants as

To Pool Nosaries.
A special meeting was held last
night BY number Of the citizens at
the cluhrooms OF the Commercial
club for the purpose Of considering
the proposition Of pooling the notar-
les and committee was appointed
to take the matter In charge. The
plan proposed is to construct a tenn
porary building on the lot Of the Ma
sonic lodge on Sherman street OF suf-
neient size to accommodate ali OF the
notaries and to provide II with
booths for each. There has been
much rivalry on the part of the no
taries since the registration com
meneed, and it is believed that this
plan win have the effect OF eIiminat
Ing that, and IL win also have the
effect of taking the people up
through the main thoroughfare of
the city, and it is believed will deter
to a great extent their anxiety to Sc
cure the earliest possible train for
the purpose Of returning to Spokane.
The committee has been at work ON
the plan during the forenoon and is
meeting with good success. and II
would seem now as though II would
be carried out. In the event OF such
an arrangement the notaries may
agree to divide the fees equally
among themselves or they may ruiz
Independent. Both ideas have been
suggested, but this is a matter Of
minor consequence.
Does Not Cost TO See Town.
Many suggestions have been made
today of means TO eounteraet the
knocking that is being INDUCED in
by the people OF Spokane against
Occur d'Alene. 1t has been sug-
gested that banners be strung read
ing, Don't pay any attention TO
Spokane's knocking; here Is plenty
to eat and plenty of room for all at
prices" DO not be in
hurry to leave; II does not cost you
anything to see the town" Remain
and visit for minute; your ticket
Is good for thirty days That is
some OF the hundreds OF banners and
signs that have been suggested. and
next week will probably witness
them flying in the breeze in all of the |
places of the city.

ion now expressed BY the officers. He
came to this city this morning on
one OF the boats from Mica bay. ac.
eording to Information obtained By
the officers In their investigation Of
the case, and then left a little after
noon on the steamer Milwaukee for
Dadly, Smith has an uncle resld-
ing at Dudly. and II IL believed that
be hopes 70 hnd refuge AZ his home
until such time as he can make his
way with safety out OF the country.
II Is believed that Smith came here
because OF the fact that he had run
out OF provisions and that he knew
that 10 secure them In the country
where Ire was hiding would cause
suspicion and bring about his arrest
and so he decided TO come 10 the
city and take chances In mixing with
the large crowd here and then make
his way to his uncle's place unno-
ticed. The officers will not be far
behind the steamer MIlwaukee when
she pulls into Dudly, and IL IL be-
lieved that he cannot now escape.

was committed on a lonely road on

HOWE's GREAT SHOW.

Early this morning the northwestern
section of the city was alive with people
anxious TO get glimpse of this great
show. bat having given successful ex'
bjbition in Aunspolis, Nd, and not
leaving there until after midnight those
ohio went to the fair ground we're disap'
nointed. The circus train, however,
arrived early this morning, and
Judging from the number Of dens,
tableaux cars, wild animals, horses,
p2nies, ETC., which were unloaded for
me big show today, 1t can be truly said
this circus outstripped any seen here in
recent years By s O'Clock this morn
ing the massive tents were spread and
everything in readiness for the parade
which took place about midday and 1t
wss indeed creditable, every feature de-
lighting the young aud old. The usual
horde of followers were on hand at the
grounds aud pigs feet, peanuts and RED
lemonade we're strongly In evidence. 10
the parade could be seen q cootnuous
line of gorgeous costumes, pretty Wom-
Gu udbuiuB htOcioJ "DN I
csmels, etc. The clowns we're out 10
force aud greatly smused the throng OF
people that lined the streets Every
feature during the afternoon show which
began at 2 o'clock gave great satisfaction
and added laurels TO the already excel
lent reputation of Howe's Great London
shows. On entering the big tent one hiss
a chance to see the finest animals ever
gszsd on-of the true blooded stock.
The famous Ty Bell Sisters, in their
death defyiDg dances in mid air, GUS
pended by their teeth from the upper
most point of the canvas, won the adini-
ration of the large crowd under the
tent. The other features were equally
as good, and to say the least circus IKE
this needs no recommendation, SO Ii
speaks for itself. The evening SHOW
Sill commence st o'clock. The To-
cation is the old fair grounds. A feature
so welcome in connection with circus
is the steam caliope. The one seen and
heard today is the first seen here In
long time.
