of the Ringing circus was destroy
ed by fire at Sterling, ILL.,, yesterday
afternoon. The tents were pitched
on the old fair grounds and about
three blocks away were two old
barns that accidentally caught fire
at about / o'clock. The manage
ment of the circus refused to allow
nyone to enter the big tent so long
as the fire at the barns was still
burning. A firebrand fell upon the
top of the tent and in q few min
utes the big canyas top, the Joan of
Arc scenery, the poles, apparatus
and seats were a mass Of flames.
The quick work and system of the
circus men saved the animal tent.
The animal wagons were rushed out
and the canvas was dropped, thus
saving it, although it Immediately
adjoins the one that was burned.
The loss is estimated at not less
than $4,000. The management
telegraphed to Chicago, where a
complete duplicate equipment is
kept for emergencies, and it will be
shipped to Kewanee, where the show
appeared today, as if nothing had
happened. The show began to pack
up at once as soon as the tent had
burned.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 24.-The dar-
ing holdup of the Union Pacific mail
train near here Thursday night was
not the first big robbery Wells Ions
berry of Medford, Ore, had execut-
ed. AS he lay on a cot in the hos
pital here yesterday seriously
wounded Lonsberry confessed he
held up a Southern Pacific train in
a similar manner last January at
Red Bluff, Cal.
His operations then were similar
to those used Thursday night. The
robber said in the California holdup
he boarded the train at Red Bluff
and forced the three mail clerks to
pick out the registered mail for him.
At Redding he boarded a Pullman
on the anne train and escaped de-
lection. A reward Of $4,000 had
been offered for the capture of the
Red Bluff robber.
The failure to put OFF mail at
Lawrence led to Lonsberry's cap
ture. When the train passed
throug h there and the pouches were
not forthcoming an investigation
disclosed the mail clerks bound and
gagged. Word of the robbery then
was telephoned to Topeka where the
robber was captured. 1t was said at
the hospital last night L~onsberry
would recover.

IMPORTANT CASES
SLATED FOR TRIAL
Damage Suits r Filed for Trial in
September Term.

Mason City, Aug. 24.-Several
important cases have been filed in
the district court, which convenes
here early in September, and cover
a wide range Of litigation. One of
the important damage suits is that
brought by w. Fl. Fitch, a young
man of this city, who wants $1,000
damages from M. j. Collins, pro-
prietor of the Collins hotel, because
of a false arrest. Fitch was arrest
ed some time ago on a petty charge
growing out of an affair at the hotel
but proved his innocence.
Another damage suit is brought
by Oscar Horvei, well known bust
ness man, who asks $4,000 damages
from the Peoples Gas & Electric
company for a shock to his nervous
system, due to an experience he had
with electric fixtures in his bath
room four months ago.
Horvei was in the act of turning
on the electric light. The fixture
was charged and the plaintiffs hand
could be removed only by the COM
bined strength of two men and Mrs.
Horyei, who seized him and pulled
him away. Horvei was unconscious
by this time.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. "a
The Southern Pacific robbery at Red
Bluff, Cal, on Jan. 6 last, was one
of the ~cleverest and most daring in
the west in recent years.
A lone bandit swung aboard the
mail car of the northbound Oregon
Express at Red Bluff and at the
point of a pistol forced one of the
clerks to bind and gag his two COM
panions. The robber then tied up
the third clerk and with a practiced
hand proceeded to rifle six sacks Of
registered mail. To avert suspicion,
he threw off the proper mail when
the train slowed down at stations
along the way.
When the express pulled into
Redding the bandit leaped from the
car on the side opposite the station.
1t was not suspected that he had
reboarded the same train and posses
searched the Redding region for him
for days. The amount he obtained
from the registered mail was not
made public, but 1t is supposed his
haul ran into the thousands.

ADVICE AND WOMEN

Perhaps the "restlessness of mod
ern women which troubles so many
good souls, comes, in part, from the
fact that they tired of getting pat
ronizing advice from the opposite
sex on matters that are peculiarly
their own.
If it be the motto of the French
police to look for the woman" it
would seem to be the motto of almost
everyone in A~nglo-Saxon lands to lad
wise the woman"
Social standpatters condescendingly
tell her what is her place and
sphere"
Presidents and kaisers tell her her
duty, which is to bear many chill
dren.
Bachelor college professors tell her
how to economic.
Jim" Hill occasionally tells her
how to keep house.
Preachers who have imbibed wis
dom by sitting at the oily feet of
Mr.. Rockefeller tell her how to hold
her husbands affections.
No wonder she holds mass-meet-
ings and organizes parades. 1t Is the
only way she can get out from under
the pelting rain of unasked advice
