CIRCUS DAY ALMOST HERE

In spite Of the annual and more
fr, quent occurrence Of "circus day."
the majority of the people Of this
city are always ready TO welcome the
white tents and red wagons Now
that the date fixed for the appearance
Of the Hagenbe OK Wallace Com hined
Shows is a most here, the interest is
becoming acute and thou.ands Of
people are planning to visit the show
TUESDAY September 3
There are people who really object
to the coming of circus, especially
oue OF the magnitude of the Hagen
beck Wallace Shows, because OF the
tendency Of the average citizen and
couutryman to. make it a holiday.
Such people, however, are horn pessi-
mlsts and undesila able cltiZens and
should be suppressed. They forget
that, while they my be able 10 at
tend and enjoy the theatre every
week, most Of these who attend u
circus are able to do so about once or
twice year. The latter is the
amusement Of all classes of people,
because 1t is bargain counter OF
amusements. Nowhere else can e
much be seen for the same eathusi-
asm as in the circus thrones. This
city Is not immune from the circus
fever, and especially is this true
when the attraction has the mag.
oetic drawing qualities of the Hagen
beck Wallace shows, They are
without question in class by
them elves; no other teuted enter
prise can Gffer such a varied and
interesting program Of novelties OF
display such collection OF traluec
wild animfs as will be seen here

Goes to County Farm

Bessie Marriott who attempted to
commit suicide last Sunday night is
TO be taken to the county farm near
Erie.
Judge Cain was up Tuesday to
make an inve'tigatlon into. the
woman's sanity. 1t was decided
that since she had no means of
support she would be taken to the
county farm. Her six year old boy
IS at the children's home on South
Central now, but is probable that
other arrangements will be made in
regard to him later.

ALLEY DISPENSER

Though the setting of the scene
might not have been all that could
have been wished for in the way OF
cleanliness, GOODNESS and convenience,
the buffet run by a couple of young
fellows in the al ey south of Main
b tween Central and Evergreen must
have been doing a rushing busin SIS
in malt, beer and that line of goods
until the police unfeelingly raided it
and now the proprietors are taking a
rest in Jail. The two, Roy Davidson
and Fred Edmouds were arrested and
put in Jail Sunday night They ap-
peared in police court this morning
plead guilty of having dealings with
wet goods but could not produce the
five the Judge assessed.
They we're then told that they were
wanted in Justice E. M. Groom's
court and to that place they accord
ingly went. Here they had to face
a charge ofbootlegging. Each entered
the plea "Not gully" and the case
was continued until Wednesday at
two O'Clock. Bail of three hundred
dollars was asked for but was not
secured and the two we're committed
to Jail again.

LAYING OF THE
CORNER STONE
Short Services Held at Five
O'clock---Church's Ritual
Services Used.
From MONDAYS Timesett

At five O'Clock the SERVICES io'
the formal laying of the corner
stone for the First Methodist church
were held. The church is situated
at the corner of Lincoln and East
Third street. The services were
in charge of A. S. Freed,> suPerin
tendent of the Independence Dis
trict, and Rev. J. R. McFadden,
the local pastor.
Owing to the fact that it was
known only few hours that it
would be possible to have any
ceremonies in regard to the laying OF
the corner stone no formal address
was made. The church's ritual was
used instead OF an address.
The pastors and members of
other churches were invited to take
part IN the services. Those who
did were l.. G. Fourier, Rector of
Grace Episcopal church, R. N.
Allen, w. W. Searcy, pastor of
Baotist church, and H. l. Snyder,
pastor of the United Brethren
church.
After few words by the pastor,
the OLD familiar hymn Rock Of
Ages was sung by the audience, and
was followed by prayer by l.. G.
Fourier. Rev. H. L. Snyder read a
Scripture lesson from the Old Test
ament and w. w. Sealcy from the
New.
The service of Conservation was
read by District Superintendent
A. S. Freed.
Il is always customary at the
layipg of a cornerstone to store
away in it number of articles.
Those which are to be preserved m
the cornerstone of the Methodist
church are:

This shows that in no ward was
the vote favorable to the $4,000
water bond proposition, And that in
second precinct of the Fourth ward
and in the Second ward, where the
extensions we're to be made, greater
opposition was made than at any
other point.
The commissioners feel that they
have laid proposition for extensions
fire protection and pure water before
the people and have done what they
could for the improvement of the
water system. More than that they
can do nothing except put the old
system on a paying basis.
