mar Bros. Circus Which
Was Here Yesterday.

When Gollmar Bros circus returns
to Hammond in the future with as
good and clean a show as it gave yes
terday it will be deserving of better
patronage than it had yesterday after
noon and evening
Chief Austgen expressed himself as
highly pleased with the character of
the service and the class of men it en-
ployed. Fakirs and the light fir gered
gentry were conspicuously absent. as
was evidenced by the fact that not a
single arrest was made The manager
of the circus instructed Chief Austgen
to arrest anyone in connection with
the show whose conduct was not abb
solutely above suspicion, as such could
not expect any protection from him.
The parade yesterday indicated that
the show was well equipped TO give a
good performance, but the attendance
was light.
In the menagere the tigress who a
few days ago gave birth to three kit
tens and subsequently killed them

coming that florists are finding it

white flowers.
Mothers Day Is only three years
old. 1t broke out sporadically all
over the United States in 1908.
Efforts to trace the origin have
brought to light some facts of In
servance of the day An investiga-
tion seems to point to Miss Anna
Jarvis of Philadelphia, who admits
that she conceived the idea to COM
memorate the anniversary of her
mothers death. It was not only the
thought of laying some flowers on
her mothers grave. but 1t occurred
to her that it would be a beautiful
tribute to all mothers. the living as
well as the dead, If their children,
on a given day would unite in the
simple wearing of a white flower.
She wrote letter about it to a
Philadelphia newspaper and it was
thi sthat caused Mothers Day to
break out in spots all over the
country. Miss Jarvis suggested the
