BALTIMORE, MD. June ga
heavy wind. which accompanied the
storm yesterday afternoon, blew down
q large tent occupied by the Hunter
Arena, at River View Park, in which
10 wild animals were Gagged In
the confusion two deers, an elk, two
hyenas, two wild cats and several
monkeys made their escape. All were
recaptured within several hours, how
ever. and returned to their cages, ex-

hour last night the missing deer was
located under the racer dip. barred

morning The elk Is still at large

The tent over Lees Worlds Won

also blown down. and Hugo, giant
gorilla, got loose from his cage. The
animal became enraged at the storm
and In his fury ioosened the bars of
hts cage as the canvas OF the tent fell
upon him. As soon as the cry was
sounded that Hugo was loose" every
man employed at the amusement
rushed to the canvas. Several men
gTappied with the beast. and In re-
placing him In his cage Russell Gray.
an exhibitor. was severely hurt on
both hands.
The storm was described as being
one OF the worst In the history OF
the park. The damage to the park
viii estimate about $1,000 and Mr.
Harry Hunter. OF the Hunter Arena
estimated his damage last night at
about $500.
From shortly after noon there were
appearances of a storm, and, al
though the ~>nwds were not large,
they begSc: - grow smaller as the
afternoon passed. About 1870 o'clock
the first OF the rain began to fall
and It poured In torrents for about
i've minutes. The wind then began
to increase in velocity ana the follow
ing half hour was one OF fury and
terror on the Midway.
In erecting wAne tent In which the
animals were Gagged precautions had
been taken to make II secure against
q storm. II was constructed with a
pointed end toward the water front.

stakes were not pulled from the
ground. but were broken In half.

Mr. Hunter and the other attend
ants Of the show were In the tent
when II allowed signs Of failing The
stakes began to crack and one OF the
quarter poles broke. Mr. Hunter said
he shouted to the men to leave the

up the fruit he did not show any
signs of fght. but raised up on his
hind legs to get 1t. incidentally
placed a collar around his neck. He
was led back to his cage, and must
say behaved nicely"
The most interesting OF all the
chases was after the deer. The AMI
mails, which are known for their fleet
ness OF foot. leaped over the benches
in the groves and out and over an
etght-foot fence surrounding the park.
About dozen employees saddled
horses and others on foot gave chase
The deer separated. one returning to-
ward the park, but the other keeping
down the road toward the city. The
chasing party kept after the latter.
as all expected that the other deer
would return to the park. After about
a mile pursuit the deer was surround
ed and moose slipped over its head
by Barney Jones. an exhibitor at the
show. and It wa sled back to its quar-
ters.
The elk had mysteriously made Its
escape and Is still at large. The same
crowd searched for II unnecessarily.
Wild Cats Caught.
The wild catse were caught In nets
before they had obtained much of an
opportunity for liberty. and the hyen-
as were captured without much diff
fculty.
The monkeys took refuge in the top
of the tent before 1t had all blown
down. and as the poles fell they per-
formed feats which would make the
average acrobat envious. They were
captured without much difficulty.
The greatest part OF the damage
to the tent of the Hunter Arena was
done by the lions and leopards. which
cut the canvas as II fell over their
cages. The cuts were as clean as
though made with razor.
BY 9 o'clock all OF the animals had
been placed securely in their cages.
and although the show was not open
last night. II is expected to have ev-
erything ready to show this afternoon.
Despite the damage. a large crowd at
tended the park last night.
Fat Boy Crnwls Out.

boy who weighs $50 pounds, and Is a

also caught under the canvas OF the
tent as It fell. but succeeded in crawl
ing to a place Of safety and later
made his way to the pavilion.
The wind also blew of the roofs
on the lighthouses, ripping the tin
and rolling II up. Two trees in the
rear OF the carrousel were blown
down and three trees in the grove
were uprooted.

Burned to Death.

Rose Walker, a respectable color
ed woman living about five miles
north of Monroe City, was burned
to death sometime Monday and the
body was not discovered until next
day. She was the widow of Joe
Walker who died about year ago,
and occupied the farm owned by
her husband and her only cOmpan-
ion was a colored boy to do the
farm work. The boy was away from
home on Monday and when he re-
turned and found the front door
locked supposed there was no one
at home and went to a neighbours
house where he remained over
night On Tuesday a search was
made and the woman was found
sitting in chair in her room stone
dead. From indications it was evil
dent that while she was handling
some fire in an old pan near the
house her clothing became ignited
and she ran into the house through
a side door, and in doing so set fire
to a fence and some trash in the
yard. The interior of the building
also took fire but it is supposed she
put it out with water as a cup of
water was found near the body.
The Coroner Of Marion County held
an inquest over the body and found
a verdict to the effect that deceas-
ed came to her death by accidental
burning.

If Monroe City is ever to be a
better and more prosperous town
we must have more labor employ
ing institutions. Already many of
our best young men have been
forced to 90 elsewhere and this will
continue to be the case until we get
more labor employing institutions.
During the next few years there are
to be many factories located in
Missouri towns. Monroe City will
get large part of them if we place
ourselves in the proper attitude to
receive them. In the first place we
must show to the world that we are
for progress, that we believe in a
water works and sewerage system
and a day electric current Then
and not until then can Monroe City
reasonably expect to get anything
like her share of the new factories
in Missouri. Our railroad facilities
are excellent, no town has been
more favored by nature and it is
now up to our citizens. Certainly
they are for progress and will all
aid in the establishment of a water
works and sewerage system and a
day electric current. Then will all
citizens telling of the good things
we have here, Monroe City will soon
be the leading inland city in north,
east Missouri.

One View.

A group of friends were discuss
ing the best methods of raising
money for the church. The town
members were most in favor of
rummage sale; the country members
claimed that church socials were
most popular in their neighborhood
A non-member of the church, a
gentleman who contributes literally
whenever asked, listened to both
sides, and then said with much en-
phasis: There isn't enough bust
ness judgement used in connection
with functions for the benefit of the
church. I've often said I'd never
give another thing to the church,
but l do"
For instance?" asked one.
Well I gave some of my regular
line to the ladies of your church in
our town last winter, and they
undersold me to get trade. lost
five dollars worth of goods, and
five dollars worth of sales, because
am the only one carrying that
line.
Again, a country church wanted
me to give them box of macaroons
for an ice cream social. | did, and
went to the social. They were SELL
ing ice cream and all that cake you
can eat for ten cent The place
was full of children who ate more
than ten cents worth of cake, to
say nothing of the cost of the ice
cream. The ladies were disappOint-
ed because they had donated over
thirty cakes, and worked hard, and
only made a few dollars. | would
better have given them the cost of
the macaroons. claim that | gave
those macaroons to the church, and
the church should have had the
price of them, but it didn't. Because
the ladies had not paid for them,
they placed no value on them nor
on their own cakes. I'm always
glad to help where l can, but if
l give to the church, l want the
church to sell what l give at fair
price. and get as much or more out
of it than it cost me-"
We agree with this gentleman. If
asupper is given for the benefit of
the church, let the church have all
the benefit. The only businesslike
way is to figure the cost of every
thing served and add a per cent
for profit just as the merchant does.
Be hospitable at a neighborhood
social, and businesslike at a supper
for the church. Elk.

Recital.

The first of a series of recitals
was given by Miss Ethie Lewis at
the Christian Church in Hume wei
Saturday June II. The crowd was
not as large as was expected on &C
count of the bad weather but they
formed an appreciative audience
for an unusually good entertainment.
The program was interspersed wit h
home talent music, Piano solos by
Mrs. Yancey and Miss Luara Nc
Clure we're highly appreciated as
was also a vocal Quartette by Mrs.

Miss Lewis talent is one of high
order. Her voice is well suited for
reading and she was quite as natur-
al in her manner as though she
were talking to a friend. She carried
the audience with her from the
pathetic to humorous, her portrayal
of negro character being especially
good.

You are for waterworks almost
unanimously. Do not be afraid to
say so. What do you think of a
newspaper that is afraid to come
out and advocate what it thinks is
right? You should not ask a news
paper to do what you are afraid to
do yourselves. This paper will al
ways be found fighting for what it
thinks is right. You will not have
to guess very long whether it is for
or against any public proposition
The first issue will say plainly.
Now, stiffen your backbone and
come out in the open and fight fol
waterworks Some of you are there
now, but some think they might
hurt their business if they come
out openly. Did you ever stop tC
think that it would hurt as much
and more if your cowardliness was
the cause of the proposition being
lost? Shelbina Democrat.

There is danger in taking control
of the corporations from the several
states and placing it in the control
of the federal government. Better
let the states regulate the trusts
without interference of federal
judges.
