others in this town and other
towns in thecounty through

equally as well.

Downie & Wheeler's Circus
Combined.

When one considers that with
Downie & Wheeler's Big Dou-
BILE Circus, which is to visit Eas-
lev, S. c., Nov. 8, there are hun,
dreds of people employed, and
that of these three are black
smiths, painters, carpenters'
BARRIERS, laundrymen, doctors,
a lawyer, detectives, cooks,
trainmen, butchers, walters,
seamstresses, harness makers,
musicians, shoe makers. a post,
master. hostlers, electricians and
many other mechanics and ar
tisians, besides the performers,
all iumbled together and work
inc for, a common interest.
The task of organizing this trav-
cling city seems the most Won
derfuI feature of the institutions.
In Downie & Wheeler's winter
ouartes, the home of these new
giant shows, the work of or
ganizing the circus began last
September. The important
thing is to engage the acts, and
this is done by agents Of the
show, who, during the winter,
visit the amusement hall OF
Europe and Asia in search of
novelties. Meantime, in the
ring barns the trainers are put
ting the various animal acts
into shape. A few weeks before
the season begins the various
performers who have been rest
ing during the winter arrive to
practice their acts, that they
may be perfected by the time
the regular rehearsals begin,
and all winter the sound Of the
anvil and the mallet is heard at
the circus quarters. Meantime
the advertising cars have start
ed out in advance, while the va
rious contracting agents are on
their way, arranging for circus
lots and bill board space, etc.
Then there is the 24-hour man,
who is a story in himself. He
gets his title from being "a hours
ahead of the show. arranging
for wood, water, food and ice,
besides attending to many other
matters that have arisen. Ev-
erything about the Downie &
Wheeler's Combined Shows has
been so systematized that it is
like a great clock. All sorts of
obsticles are overcome daily
with no boasting. Every day
brings some new problem to
solve, but when daylight ap-
pears the great canvas tops are
undulating in the breeze and ev-
erybody is ready for, the parade.
It is true that of all profession
ais, none are more domestic
than the circus performer. He

The trial has been one of the most
interesting murder cases that have
been tried in the Lake superior court
in some time. The reason is the un-
expected strength developed by Attor-

Another interesting feature Is the
fact that the case involves the negro

topic of conversation there. The tes-

pura yesterday afternoon at the plat
form of the Illinois Central depot at
Ninety-flrst street, the police believe
they have made an arrest which will
go long way in clearing up the many
blackhand mysteries in that section OF
the city.
Levinkind had a case In the United
States court dealing with the internal
revenue business. During that time he
received two blackhand letters asking
him to place $4,000 a certain place
under billboard at the Illinois Gen.
trail depot at Ninety first street or
they would come into the United States
court and appear against him.
The arrest was made through Max
Rice, plumber of South Chicago, and
Vincent Skiba. a Polish detective.
Max Rice received a letter from the
blackhand telling him to. place $1,000
in the same locality as was told Levin

The two men placed a decoy letter
under the billboard and waited all

AT l o'clock Purpura got off an Illi-

same train and came back on another
train fifteen minutes later. He repeat.

o'clock he walked over to the bill.

into place again.
Purpura then walked around the
block and came back again. Their
carefully looking all around he made

velope and put it under his over coat
and he was then arrested.
He is believed to be the author of si,

statement in Washington that he had
authority for announcing that Gov
ernor Marshall would be a candidate
for the nomination for president. and
that he would make a strong candi-
date for the nomination.
But Governor Marshall made 1t plain
that he would not accept a nomination
for vice president. 1t has been as
sumed that he could easily win the
nomination for second place on the
ticket, the theory being that Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey would
get the nomination for president and
that Governor Marshall, being a west
ern man and rising figure in national
politics, would be good man for the
second place The combination of Will
son and Marshall has already attracted
much attention over the country And
there is still a belief among the demo-
Gratis here that this will be the ticket.
in spite of Marshall's positive state
ment that he would not take the nomi-
nation for vice president.
This opinion is based on the ground
that If Marshall refuses the vice presi
dency he will not get anything. There
does not seem to be the slightest
chance of his being nominated for
president, judging from what is being
said all over the country. 1t looks
like it is the vice presidency or moth
ing for Marshall.
| And this gives the added color to the
/, boom that has been started for Senator
| ] ohm w. Kern as a presidential posi-
bility. One prominent Indiana demo-
crat, in discussing this phase of the
situation. yesterday, said:
| Keep your eye on Kern. for in my
| opinion he stands much better chance
| of landing the nomination for presi-
dent than Marshall. Kern has behind
| him the prestige of having been on the
/ national ticket. He is a national fig
| ure, and q big one just now. There is
no man whom w. j. Bryan would
rather see nominated than Kern. and
everybody will admit that no one can
] be nominated without Bryan's con-
sent Unquestionably Bryan is still
the big democrat. and they must all
nav attention to him. Senator Kern
will have an opportunity to make
good at the coming special session Of
| congress and at the regular session
next winter and II he comes through
as we'll az his friends believe he will
he will surely be in line for the presi-
| Dental nomination"
| or course, II Kern should outshine
Marshall in the next year and should
become a candidate for president the
| name of Marshall could not go before
the national convention.

MARSHALL
TINES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind. April Gov
ernor Marshall's statement, which he
made yesterday, in regard to being a
candidate for the nomination for presi-
dent, did not contain anything differ
ent from what he has said many times
before, except that in his statement
yesterday he made the definite and
positive declaration that he would not
be a candidate for vice president, and
that he would not take the nominal
ton. On the presidency this has been
his attitude all along. ever since his
name was first mentioned as a possi-
bility. He is not a candidate and will
not make himself a candidate. That
states his position in a nutshell. But
if the democrats want him to be their
nominee for that office he will accept
the nomination when 1t is offered to
him.
1t was not long after his election as
governor that the talk started to the
effect that he would be a good avail
able man for the democrats to nomi-
nate for president He was a new man
in national life. fresh on the scene of
national politics, and had carried In
diana. one of the doubtful states. aft
er 1t had been out of the doubtful COL
umn for several years A good many
| democrats thought this made him the
logical man for the place. But when
the matter was presented to him and
he was asked whether he would be a
candidate for the nomination for presi-
dent he replied that he was not a can
dfdate for president or any other Of
| flee. He said he was not a candidate
for the nomination for governor, but
| that the democrats of Indiana appeared
| to want him to head the ticket and
| they gave him the nomination without
