Tile Colmar Circus In Cresco July 18th.

OF all the animals in q large zoo the
most interesting, though not the most
beautiful, is the hippopotamus. The
hippopotamus is the only animal that
can be seen today exactly Jas he ap-
peared IN prehistoric days. Other an
finals have changed to accommodate
themselves to changing conditions and
environment, but the hippopotamus
presents the same appearance, the
same traits and characteristics that he
did in the time of the Pharaohs.
In biblical days the inhabitants of
Egypt considered the hippopotamus a
sacred animal, and the actual repre-
sentative Of their river God. There
fore, when the Nile would overflow its
banks, or when the river would be low
in time of drought, the natives were
won't to strew the river with succulent
grasses and green leaves in an effort
to propitiate their God.
The largest living hippopotamus that
can be seen today 10 Lotus, in the me-
nsgerie Of Gollmar Bros. Americas
Greatest Showsl Lotus was captured
near the head waters of the Nile by
special agents of Gollmar Bros. and
shipped direct to this country for ex-
hibition in their menagerie. Lotus
weighs over two ~ ton, measures 8
#. z in. from his broad nose to bis tail.
His mouth when opened, measures
from upper jaw to lower jaw Aft. in.
His mouth is 2 #. 6 in. wide. Gollmar
Bros. value Lotus at $4,000 and have
him insured at that sum with Lloyds
of England Gollmar Bros. Americas
Greatest Show, with Lotus in the me-
nagerie, will exhibit at Cresco on
Thursday, July 18th.
1t is well that the hippopotamus is a
docile animal, for if he were not, it!
would be very hard to confine them in
in any sort Of cage. Lotus possesses
almost - much strength in his mon
ster jaw a. an elephant does in its
trunk. When first captured Lotus was
placed in q corral made Of huge tim
beers, from which he promptly escaped
by crushing the timbers between bis
jaws.

lnquiSitiVe Boy Near Serious Accident.
The eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. G..
w. Redding met with an accident q
few days ago which might have ruined
his eyes. The lad, being of an investi-
eating turn of mind. touched a match
to the contents of a telephone battery
to see what it would do. He very soon
found out, as he carries badly burned
face, with his eyebrows and eyelashes
burned off also. 1t certainly was a
narrow escape and ought to teach him

Bertram Nixon, son of the late United

record in San Francisco for the
greater number of times of arrest

last time forfeited his bail.
Tom Carroll, of Ely, 16 years old,
accidentally shot himself, expiring
instantly, at Comins lake Saturday.
He was with a party of high school
students who were duck hunting on

draw his shotgun from beneath the
seat of the boat when the hammer
caught and the gun was discharged.
Joseph E. Stevens, proprietor of
one of Ely's largest mercantile es-

still a subject to Germany was dis
covered last week nobody was more
surprised than Stevens. 1t turns out
his father had not been naturalized
until Stevens was over age.

John Powell played at the Woman's
Club yesterday afternoon. For the
past several years his concert has be
come an annual event. and IL has helped
10 make brilliant pages in the club
history. y tremendous crowd filed the
club parlors ana ovcriiowed into the
halls for tho recital yesterday after
noon
one is simply caught and held in
the charm aud thrall OF John PowclPs
glorious music His wonderful fingers
are continually searching out n fairy
world OF harmonious sound, and a gol-
den heart and soul are interviewer with
the magic OF his genius. Mr.. Poweli's
recitals at the Woman's Club have nj
ways been OF the most delightfully."- in
formal and intimate nature. and he
tells the story and explains the theme
OF each selection If 10 dear friends
gathered about his studio piano. The
story OF his music yesterday was a
fnarrclously varying one one heard
the signing of soft winds in dim old
forests. the spent waves seward
swell; the stately tread OF knight by
people: tho ripplinE waves of tuneful
brooks. beside whose banks the COW
slips waved their golden bloom, and
there was mystery. wcirdness. all bound
into splendid. glorious harmony.
That he played two of his own com
positions, and that they are among
n group of several of the most-talkcd-
of productions in musical Europe, was
perhaps the most interesting feature
OF the program. Into these he has
woven the melody of tho plantation
negro songs, and a slender thread OF
the weird music runs through the
whole. II liz tribute to Richmond
that Mr.. Powell turns aside from the
eager clamorinS of an applaudinS E:u-
rope TO play for his own people. quite
