followers annihilate work. The key
note of large circus lies in the word
system. Every man appeared to know
just what to do. There were no halts
or perplexing delays.
Three years ago while the Al G.
Barnes circus was exhibiting in
Washington. d. c., army officers were
detailed to watch the process of un-
loading circus trains and the erections
of the tents. They came away de-
claring that they had never before
witnessed anything quite so syste-
matte and were astonished with the
machine-like precision with which the
parts of the circus organization work.
ed. -
The first part of the circus program
was the parade. Promptly at 1880
o'clock this morning the glittering,
gorgeous pageant of the AL G. Barnes
circus left the show grounds. What
was particularly pleasing was the
freshness and newness of the costly
dens and chariots. The animals all
appeared sleek and fat following a
winter of rest and looked good nat
uredly from behind the bars. The
parade was one of the most pleasing
ever seen in this city and more than
delighted the thousands of people
who lined the streets and curbing.
Following the street parade the
show grounds just south of Round
! Up, became the Mecca for a large
contingent. Before the big show be-
gan the side show "orators" waxed
eloquent and not a few small boys
and big ones, too, fell victims to the
seductive flow of talk as the wonders
/ just on the inside or the canvas was
told of in glowing terms.
| Promptly at 1 o'clock the doors tC
! the big show were thrown open. Fol
! cns hour students of nature had op-
| portunity of viewing one of the larg-
est collections of wild animals evel
seen in this city. For thirty minute!
before the big show began a concer
| of popular and classic music was hen
/ dered by concert band under the di
rection of Prof. E. F.. Markham.
Shortly after o'clock the big shov
began. For two hours the spectator
who packed the huge tent viewed tn

remained of his 100000 fortune and
started chicken farm at Hickman,

GOES TO SETTLE TAXES:
FINDS BIG FARM is GONE
Hoosier Farmer Discovers Peculiar
Error Was Made by Attorney i'm
Drawing I'm WILL

Newcastle. Ind.-When John Ha-
gner, a well-known German farmer
living southeast of the city, came to
the county treasurer's office to pay
his taxes, he was surprised to learn
that. so far as the records were con-
cerned. he did not own fine 200
acre farm, which he had been tilling
for number of years. In fact, there
was nothing on the records to show
that he owned any land at all, and
no taxes were charged up against
him.
An investigation was started, and
after some time peculiar situation
was discovered. Some time ago Hag-
ner decided to make a will so as to
provide for the future OF his four
children after he was dead and gone.
He secured the services of a local

attorney, and what Hagner thought
was his last will and testament was
drawn up and signed by him, leaving
his farm to his children after his
death. Instead, however. the paper
Hagner had signed proved to be
warranty deed conveying the land to
the children.
1t will now be necessary for Hagner
to bring a friendly suit against his
children to have the deed set aside
and the land again placed in his name
and steps to this end have already
been taken.
