A Hat, A Wind, A Man

1t was only a derby hat, but it was
the observed of all Observers as
it went sailing calmly down the man
street of this mans town one day
not long ago. The owner thereof,
after a bi illiant dash of fifty yards,
was within grabbing distance but
his head was not working quite SO
fast as his feet, and so instead of
making a grab for it, he gave it an
extra kick and sent it on It's way re.
joicing. By this time, the obstrep-
erous derby had reached its second
block, and the rate owner was sti |
running, unable to see VIII the bv-
ISLANDERS should have so much cause
for mlrth. We'll aS fate would have
it, this maynard hat was travelling
in the path Of the street sprinkler,
and was therefore picking up col
lection of Mother Earth as it meand
cred gaily along. After a record
breaking and temper-breaking sprint
of a few blocks, it was finally rescued
from a mud-hoIe and the owner Civ
en- the choice Of buying a new hat
or seeking a secluded spot to re-
move the mud, but we are unable to
say which course he took. Moral.
don't trust these Dakota winds, or
Your pride may have a fall.

Big Lotus With Gollmar's Circu.

Dig Louis Win uOllmar s N1rCuS
One of the most annoying things
to the animal keeper with a mena-
gerie is the surprising ignorance
and Indifference of MANY people to-
ward the rare and costly beasts and
birds of the forest. There are not
half a dozen real geological gardens
in this entire country, and hence
about the only opportunity a maio7-
ity of the people of this country
have to study natural history from
real life is upon the occasional visit
of some of the big clrcuses.
The Gollmar Brothers paid Sc, 500
tor a giant hlppopotamus. 1t is a
magnificent specimen of the river
horse of the River Nile, and a most
interesting source of study for the
student of nature. Very few people
C IN tell whether a hippopotamus is
web footed or whether it has teeth.
The average person does not know
that it is an animal allied to the
elephant; that it has a thick and
heavy body, short legs, terminated
by four toes; a short tail, skin with
out hair, except at the extremity
Of its tail, and that it feeds on hert-
age exclusively.
big Lotus" the hip with the
Gollmar Shows. knows his value,
and he also knows that the public
is not as well acquainted with him
as it pretends to be. When he first
joined the circus he seemed annoyed
because the cheap, sickly, treacher-
Gus little monkey attracted more at
tention than he did; but he is over
that now. Although he is not paid
the homage and attention that is his
due. this giant beast does not show
his Disappointment, but lies content
eddy in the manmouth tank Of water
in the bottom of his cage, and in
parade he will occasionally make
goo-goo ewes at the crowds or open
his great mouth.
big Lotus comes here with the
Gollmar Brothers Circus Monday,
June Goth.

PARTY PRIMARY
NEXT TUESDAY
A Mixed Ticket Probable i'm
State Primary

Next Tuesday, June 7th, occurs
the primary election for nominating
party candidates. Outside of the
natural interest in the minds of can
didates, there is very little doing,
which suggests a small vote out.
In the state. ''stalwart'' and"pro-
~gressive' tickets are on the ballot
to be voted for. The two factions
line up just about as they did two
years ago, and the result will pro-
badly be much the same. Congress
men Burke and Martin will more
than likely be renominated. Also
Treasurer Johnson will likely be en-
dorsed for a second term. These
are stalwarts. Governor Wesley and
the balance of the progressives ap-
pear to be in the lead. although
Egan's friends claim that he will
take a lot of votes away from
Wesley. Teis is doubtful, but if he
does, of course 1t will result in the
nomination of former Governor FL
rod, the stalwart nominee.
In Hand county there is very
little fractional strife over state
matters. and voters will follow their
individual choice, regardless of the
personal scraps Of party leaders.
The county republicans have a
choice of candidates to vote for in
nearly all Offices, and as the PRESS
will support the party's ticket when
selected. this paper has taken nc
part in the preliminary contest.
Just as an observer. we have no
use for the primary system of NOM
mating. 1t is expensive and inef-
fective.
