ABOUT THE CIRCUS PARADE
What May Be Expected from Hagen
beck-WallaCe Shows Tomorrow.

w
When operating his own show, B. 3.
Wallace early acquired a national rep
uation for displaying the finest horses
in the show business and for possess
ling circus equipment unequalled. Since
he has combined the Carl Hagenbeck
, trained animal exhibition with mis-
show, Mr.. Wallace persists in follow
ing the rules which made him prev
| iously successful.
1t is common to have circuses boast
| of their street displays with about all
| the superlative degree adjectives in
! the language, only to disappoint the
throngs along the parade route. From
past acquaintance with the Hagenbeck-
Wallace management it is safe to pre-,
dict that there will not be any cause
for any disappointment in the parade
of that show.
With half a dozen bands composed
of musicians and not wind TANNERS,
with handsomely carved tableau wa
CONS and cages that are actually hand.
carved and gilded with genuine gold
leaf, with the most beautiful horses
ever seen by any human eye, with the
choicest and latest wild animals in
lscores of open dens, with the funnies st
of clowns, the cutest of Shetland
ponies, the richest of wardrobe, the
most original of spectacular effects fn
the oriental exhibition, all of these de
tails persontlly supervised as only B
e. Wallace can attend to them, the
street display of the combined Hagen
|beck-Wallace shows can safely be an
lticipated with unusual satisfaction
Like all levelheaded business men
this circus ,nagnate does not wish t.
burn money foolishly, but he lone
ago realized the adage that Snowman
must spend money recklessly if he
would succeed and hence his parade
Is probably the most sumptuous dis
play of extravaganza and processiona
grandeur ever witnessed upon thu
streets of this city.
The parade is announced for thu
usual hour of 10 o'clock and will b
On the main portion of the bushes.
Istreets at that hour barring, n
course, any unforeseen interference OF
the part of the elements or circum
lstances beyond the control of the man
agement.

OF
HOMESTEADS FOR
MANY CLAIMANTS
Sixty-two Out of 1O4 Investi-
cations Unfavorable to AL
legged Settler.

Rapid City, S. D., Sept. 11.-Charles
". Atkinson, special agent of the gen.
eral lane Office at Washington, has con-
cluded taking evidence in 300 home
stead cases in the Rapid City district
and Is. in the Belle Fourche. During
the month of August he made 104 in
vestigations and of these 81 will be
unfavorably reported.
Desert land entries have been bad
generally, as those who have filed have
made only a superficial attempt, If any,
to reclaim the land. MI. Atkinson
states the rainfall is so heavy hat on
many of h desert homesteads fine
crops are being raised and that in real
ity they do not belong in the desert
land class. He has also found that
agricultural lands have been entered
under the timber and stone land law
and that he will report these to Wash
ington n the claimants will be re-
CURED to make absolute proof.
Mr. Atkinson tells of many schemes
devised by homesteaders seeking to
evade the law requiring actual resi-
dence and reclamation of the land. The
most remarkable of these, perhaps, re-
lates to a homesteader in the southern
part of the state, who testified before
the receiver that he had plowed be-
tween ID and IL acres on his entry.
Later an investigation was made and
It was found to be true that the entry
man a plowed between 10 and IL
acres. He had measured off 10 acres
and II beside it and then plowed two
burrows between the two tracts.

ENuMERATORS IS
COMPROMISE ACT
Senators and Congressman Di.
verge in Wishes and Divide
the Prizes.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 1S.-An-
houncement of the appointment of Dave
Wipf, of Parkston, a former secretary
of state, and George B. Mansfield, sec
rotary of the Rapid City Commercial
club, as census supervisors for South
Dakota. created a great cal of interest
In the state. For it was we'll known
that the senators on the n hand and
the congressman on the other had en-
gagged in a long controversy as to which
should be allowed to recommend these
two officials. Wipf was supported by
the senators while Mansfield is regarded
as a stalwart, indicating the president
had given one appointment to each of
the c~ontending factions. The congress
men argued that they shout be al
lowed to suggest both, because the con-
gressmen made the recommendations in
other states. Since the Missouri river
is the dividing line between the two
census districts in this state, the friends
of the senators claim they got the big
end Of the division in being allowed
to choose the supervisor east of the
river, which probably numbers three
fourths of the population. These SUI
pervisors will select the other census
appointees for the state.
