FLAG ETIQUETTE.
Displaying the National Ensign al Half
Mast

There have been many mistakes
made about the etiquette Of the flag.
When President William Mckinley
was assassinatcd thousands Of loyal
Americans raised flags at half mast
over their places Of business and LEI
them fly by night and by day until
they wore out. They undoubtedly
thought they were showing respect to
Mckinley's memory. But they were
not showing proper respect to the flag.
The United States government display
ed at that time its flags Mt half mast
from sunrise to sunset from the presi-
dents death until his burial The gov.
eminent regulations provide that on
the death Of n president In office its
dag shall be displayed at half mast
only one day.
In memory OF the $4,000 Union sol
dieRs who lost their lives during tho
civil war May 80. Memorial day. eacb
year the United States displays its flag
at half mast at all army posts. stations
ana natlonal cemeteries from sunrise
TO midday. Immediately before noon
a dirge is played by the bnnd or field
music. and the national salute Of tween.
ty-one guns Is fired. At the conclu-
sion OF this memorial tribute at noon
the flag is hoisted to the top OF the
stan and remains there until sunset.
The idea Is that the national ensign is
too sacred an object to be long In
mourning for any man or number OF
men. no matter how exalted their rank.
The flag reversed. with the union
down. indicates distress. The dag on
anything but fort actually besiesed
should never be displayed between
sunset and sunrise.

ton from the top of the stan. It is

sPoLLY OF THE cIRcus.a

In Polly OF the Circus" which
comes the the Elks Opera House Sept.
Z Miss Id st. Leon plays a young
circus rider. All the life of the girl
has been spent in the circus. The
show with which she travels comes to
the little Middle Western town. The
circus tents are pitched adjoining the
church and parsonage. The pillars"
of the church protest to the minister
against the sacrilege. The little cir.
Gus rider Is injured and is carried in.
to the minister's home. A motley
crew OF clowns, riders, acrobatsand
canyasmen flock to the parsonage,
where they are all well received by
the minister He agrees to care for
the girl until she is well enough to re.
turn to the circus. He soon learns
that the little rider Is an ignorant
creature anC he begins instructng
her. She becomes 80 contented with
her new home that when she RECEIVERS.
shee docs not return to her former
little sawdust world. Eleven months
pass in this happy and inocent associ.
alton, but b. the time the tongue OF
scandal is Wagging in the village and
the church dcacons call upon the min.
lister and demand that he send the
girl that tho minister's career will be
ruined II shc stays with him. She re.
solves TO go away. The circus is
again approaching the village. and
the boss canvasman, who helped 10
rear the little rider, comes and asks
her to go back with him. She goes.
and the Minister does not see her for
month later, when he hunts her
out going even into the circus ring
Late that night the circus winds it's
way out Of the village, leaving the
rider and minister stanGing on the
common gazing at the departing cara.

OF the original Polly OF the Circus"

thus assuring a finished and impress
siye performance. The production as
made by Frcderick Thompson has lost
none OF It's realistic attractiveness.

washington. Aug. 2.-Catcher Billy
Sullivan, of the Chicago american

feat of Catcher Charles Street, of the

The ball fell 542 feet.
The ball was tossed from the top of
the monument by Pitcher Ed Walsh,
Of the Chicago team. It was only after
twenty-three attempts that Sullivan
finally caught the ball, although he
succeeded several times in so gauging
the sphere as to get 1t in his mitt. The
speed Of the falling ball was so terrific.
however, tina. he was unable to hold it.
1t is estimated that the ball was tray

GUNN|SON LOW
CANNOT PUMP

Last night Commissioner Vedder
could not pump any water into the
reservoirs, because of the low stage of
the water in the Gunnison.
The cause of the extreme lowness
outside of the natural lowness of the
water at the present time, was the
fact, according to Mr.. Arthur Stokes,
water commissioner, of the taking
of one-eighth of the capacity of the
Gunnison tunnel out of the river for
use in running 1t through the tunnel
Mr., Stokes says that had the full
capacity of the tunnel been taken out
of the river there would have been
no water left in the channel what
ever.
Fortunately for us. but unfortun-
ately for the people at work on the
tunnel. some work, over thirty feet
in length and thirty feet in depth of
the concrete work went out, owing to
improper filling and the water had to
be turned back into the river again,
The public will see that there is
extreme danger to delay much longer
in securing a source of supply for city
water, from the statement of both
MIR. Vedder and Mr.. Stokes.
II can readily be imagined what
would be the result. If the full capac-
ity of the tunnel was being taken out
