Wedding Announcement is Made.

A unique and cieverly planned sur
prise was in store for the guests who
were invited to the home of Mrs. w.
w. Smith Friday afternoon of last week.
The real motive of the little party
was nicely hidden beneath a Ken
sington invitation. After the arrival
of the guests, an hour or more was de-
voted to the way usually spent at Ken
singtons. Then the secrets room was
opened. At first glance the guests saw
only the beauty of it, bespeaking the
originality and the artistic tendencies
of the hostess.
Then came the more significant mean
ing of.the bright eyed daisies, showing
their happy faces, all lettering to an
nounce some joyous tidings. At this
iuncture the guests were seated at the
dining table and handed the end of a
flowing ribbon suspended from the
chandelier overhead. When all was in
readiness a slight pull brought down
shower of little envelopes containing
the announcement of the wedding of
of Miss Theresa Smith to Mr.. Salo
Schultz on the 18th, of next September.
This bit of news created quite a little
excitement for few moments, which
was followed by many remarks compli-
mentary to the bride to be.
The dainty luncheon was served in a
happy manner Little candles werS
brought into the dining room on indi-
vidual trays. These were lighted and
luncheon was served in the glow of
candle light Z thimble, a ring and a
ten cent piece were hidden in cake and
these articles were found by the guests.
We hope to soon chronicle the wedding
of the guest who found the ring.
A short impromptu musical treat fol-
lowed the luncheon after which the
guests departed wishing only happiness
to Miss Theresa, who is dearly loved

How a Progressive Views 1t.

ANY man who will travel thousands
of miles to Africa to kill an elephant
is not fit to be president" said F. NJ.
Hubbell of Des Moines, Monday morn
ing. 1T is foolish and barbarous for
a man to kill wild animals just for
sport of killing. l don't object to men
killing animals ii. they are hungry
and need their flesh for food, but l
think it is wrong to kill just for sport.
Perhaps Roosevelts fondness for
hunting is his heritage from prehis-
toric ancestors. If that is the case he
has trace of barbarism that units
him for the presidency,

BIG TENT BLOWN DOWN
Wind Storm at Des Moines Monday Night
frishtens Tremendous Crowd at
The Circus.

Scenes such as were created at the
time of the Iroquois theatre fire in
Chicago and at the sinking of the Ii
tanic were reproduced in miniature
Monday night when sudden storm
caused pandemonium to break loose
among the crowd inside the Ringing
circus tent in Des Moines.
The show was in full swing when a
sudden wind shortly after 8 o'clock
gave the first warning of danger to
spectators and actors. In a short
time the wind had become a gale and
the big center poles of the tent began
rocking back and forth, some times
being lifted several feet from the
ground. This, with the roaring of
the wind and frequent flashes of light
ming, were sufficient to terrify the
thousands gathered under the canvas
but it was not until three poles sup
porting the tent near the entrance
snapped in two and the actors oc-
cupying the rings made a dash for
safety that the real stampede COM
melced.
Thinking only of their own welfare,
men trampled women and children
under foot in a flight for safety. Men,
women and children, needless of every
thing but desire to get outside the
| great tent, fought their way into the
! open. Screams united with the noise
of the elements and added to the de-
moralized state of affairs.
Employees of the show for time did
all in their power to restore quiet
among the frantic people and the di-
rector of the band ordered the musi-
clans to change from the air they
were playing to America" They
had played but few moments, how
ever, until they, too, were seized with
the mania for freedom, and they ran
for safer quarters.
Comical incidents were brought
about in the chaos and turmoil of the
stampede. Daring Beau Brummells,
seated with young women friends on
the top rows of the benches, slid down
the side poles to safety with the girls
| on their arm.
Baby carriages, forgotten in the mad
desire to escape, were demolished
when trampled under foot.
When. after the storm had partially
subsidized, the anounceers gave forth
the news that the show would be con-
tinued, there was but a small frac-
ton of the original number of spec
tators left in the stands. The aero
bats, trapeze and other aerial artists
in fact, all of the actors-neryous
from the excitement, put little enthu-
siasm in their exhibitions, and there
was an audible sigh of relief from
the stands when the last act had been
presented. Even the clowns had lost
their earlier heartiness and went
through their antics apparently only
| from a sense of duty. ,..... IL. !

No More Congressman to Resign.

Representative Green, of this city
and congressman from the Ninth Dis.
trict gave out an interview recently
denying that any other Iowa members OF
congress were considering withdrawing
from the field, because they fear defeat.
The Republican editor has information
from Washington that the rumor of other
designations is absurd and that practi
cally everyone in Kendall's District
conceded his election. The writer is
personally acquainted with n. E. Ken.
dali and knows what the conditions are
in the Sixth district. We have every
reason to believe that Mr.. Kendall
health is impaired and after consulting
with a specialist about his condition,
Mr.. Kendall was advised not to go into
an active campaign.
While the majority in the Sixth Dis
trict is smaller than that in any other
Republican district in the state, Mr.
Kendall had large personal following
which disregarded factional differences
and he had no fear that he would not
be reelected. At the June primary
Mr.. Kendall was renominated by an
overwhelming majority, and the fact
that numerous candidates are seeking
his place leads us to conclude that the
Republicans of the Sixth district expect
to stay together on Congressman.
Conditions in the Ninth district arr
very encouraging. Mr..Green will have
the united support of his party and will
be reelected at the November election
by safe majority. Mr.. Green ha
made good record at Washington ant
there is no disposition on the part o
any of the Republicans to make 4;
change. The people of the Ninth dis
trict realize that their congressman Cal
be trusted, and they have full confidenc,
in his character and in his ability.
