two performances yesterday and those
who are competent to judge say the
circus was the best to ever show in
this city. The first genuine surprise
of the day came in the parade over
the principal thoroughfares of the city
yesterday morning. This display alone
was worth travelling miles to see
The streets were lined with people to
witness it and many went to the show
after seeing the parade that had not
intended going.
The acts were of a higher class than
the average circus while the points
that impressed the local peop:a with
the most favor was the fact that the
costumes from the "Cireu s Queen
down to the clowns were costly, neat
and presented a high class appearance
All the performers were intelligent
looking men, many of them young, in
| stead of being of the class one usually
sees with a o1rcus. The women were
all good looking and artists of their
profession.
The principal feature of the day
was the stunts pulled off by the ami
mails under the iron hand of their
trainer These beasts We're handled
the same as child would a kitten
The animal collection is most varied
and represents many fortunes.

which it was evident that the victim at
the stake was q beautiful woman who
disappeared in 1857. meeting her horrible
death in the cavern at the hands OF a
jealous husband It is only few years
ago that the unsuspecting world was
startled by series Of wonderful discov.
cries in the same neighborhood. The
scenes were usually laid in cave. In
one instance two hunters found fortune
in Spanish coins concealed in earthern
jars, at another time the hunter brought
forth immense coils of snakes bound to-

WILL BOOM wooD PULP INDUSTRY
New Process Insures Big Increase in
Paper Production.

Minneapolis, MINI, March 29.--Dean
George D. Frankforter of the College
Of Chemistry of the University Of Min.
nesota said today he had discovered a
process by which he claimed that the
United States viii produce 100 times
as much wood pulp paper as vas be-
lieved possible.
1t il claimed that the discovery means
that every cord of fir lumber win yield
$40 on by-produets alone and that most
Of the 60 per cent of tree now wasted
win be utilized.
DIR. Frankforter says he experiment.
ed for ~ years. He describes the per-
fecter process as placing small pieces
Of waste wood, or sawdust on steel
incline over a furnace and forcing dis
tillation Of the waste "a by saturat-
ing 1t with carbon disule .ide, or gaso-
lene, thus causing the turpentine and
rosin to pass off as grease and leaving
wood pulp free from pitch and perfect
ly adapted to the manufacture of paper.
The common method Of Utilization
leaves the pulp in the form OF char
coal, chemically of little value.
DIR. Frankforter extracted from one
cord Of Norway pine, worth $3.50, tur-
pentine worth $41 and wood pulp worth
500, a yield of $50 from $3.50 worth of
raw material.
Walking one day in 1897 through the
pine woods Of northern Minnesota, Or.
Frankforter noted an old stump, which
gave out an oder not unlike that of
ordinary turpentine. He took a piece
rf the stump back to the university
and began to experiment. Within d
week he hit on the present process,
which later he perfected at small ex.
perimental plant near his home.

The city Of st. Adams has adopted
an ordinance fixing the license fees for
inns, lunch rooms, bowling alleys, pool
rooms, etc, which includes a city license
fee Of $500 for liquor saloon holding
first class license, $500 for one holding
second class license, $3.50 for third
class and $50 for fifth class. The recent
legislature took away from towns vot-
ing license the half of the fees they had
previously received from granting H.
censes and converted them into the state
treasury. This move on the part of st.
Adams appears to be local effort to
impose local license fee TO make up
for the loss sustained, and it viii be

win be sure to adopt it and the liquor
business in Vermont win be fairly taxed
