5000 PEOPLE

The AL. G. Barnes people played
to five thousand people in Linton
Tuesday afternoon. the largest con.
course of people that ever visited
Linton at one time. Dozens of peo.
pie came from as far south as Eu.
reka and all parts Of the entire
county was represented.
After the show the writer was
talking with AL. G. Barnes. the
owner of the show. who authenticat.
ed the above figure as the afternoon
attendance. lie stated that the tent
seated six thousand people and that
there we're some five thousand peo-
pie present. 1t could he easily seen
that the seating capacity of the tent
was nearly exhausted. In addition
to the big tent of the main show
there were three other large tents,
the dining room, the side-show and
the horse-tcnt. They were placed
just north of the X. Junge residence
in the northern part of town.
The show arrived from Bismarck
about 3 a. m. Tuesday and by 10 a.
m. everything was in readiness. AT
1920 the best circus parade ever
seen in Linton took place. The
horses, dogs and wild animals were
all of the very best and they were
plentiful in number, too. In every
respect the management of the show
demonstrated that they were a legit.
innate concern and did business ab.
solutely on the square. None of the
questionable class that usually fol.
low shows were in appearance and
the management announced that any
one who could prove that an employe
fieeced them out of one cent would
secure the culprit's prosecution to
the full extent of the law.
The performance was given over
entirely to animals. They we're of
the best. No show on earth has bet
ter numbers than those shown by the
al G. Barnes circus. There are no
trapese performers, tight-wire walk
ers or the like. However, the won
derful feats of the animals are
worth many times more than the
usual circus tricks.
Elephants conducting barber
shop, trick dogs and monkeys,
trained bears. lions and the like, sea-
lions juggling and many other fea.
lures too numerous to mention con-
stituted the program. which was fol-
lowed by an oId.time wild.west
show.

Ryder, May 30.-T. A. Davis had
a close call when out motorcycling.
He was taking a ride out on the
north road leading past the Luther
an parsonage and was going about
30 miles an hour when he noticed a
wire stretched across the road. He
did not have time to stop or turn.
but threw backward to the ground
the wire brushing his hat off as he
went down. He slid ten feet or
more on the ground. A second
later in getting away from the ma
chine would have meant his death,
and he escaped with only a few
bruises. This road has only lately
been closed to the public, but a
plain wire without a board or any
thing to attract attention is not very
easily seen when a person is travel
ing at high rate of speed.

AROUND THE STATE.

Bismarck. May 30.-When Cover
nor L. B. Hanna delivers his address
in Norway on July a next, twill be
a..surprise to many of his friends to
learn that he will deliver it in the
Norwegian language. The governor
has had his address translated and
has been studying it diligently. 1t
is said that he has learned to deliver
it in a very fluent manner, and he
will no doubt make hit with our
friends across the pond.
Bismarck, May 30. "A feature that
is being proposed for the state expo
sition this coming fall by the far
mers of this section is corn palace.
In fact it has been suggested that
the whole exposition be transformed
into a corn palace. Bismarck is the
very center of the corn belt Of North
Dakota, and with the large amount
of that product being raised in this
vicinity it is believed the proposed
project could be made. The Far
mers' Educational and Cooperative
union throughout the country is ad-
vocating this proposition. and no
little enthusias m is being aroused,
because of the outlook of an unusu-
ally big crop to be raised here this
year.

tanned a broken. fractured rib and a

taken to Bottineau at once, by an
other auto which was following, and
died the next day, having never re-
covered consciousness. The acci-

caused by one of the party interfer-
ing with the control of the car

the stock-vards making three-bag
ger and finally scoring. The third
and fourth innings resulted in goose
eggs for both sides. The fifth did
not help the visitors. but the Tigers
we're the busiest bunch you ever
saw and when the dust cleared
away we're able to add six more
scores to their total The sixth gave
the visitors another goose egg and
the Tigers one more marx. The
seventh was one, two three and out
on each side. In the eighth the vis-
itors picked up two lallies and Pol
lcck onr. The ninth gave the Lin
ton boys one, but our boys having

that. All the boys were soft and

much was expected of them. How
ever, they played a pretty good
game and after they get hardened
in we expct to see some very good
games.

Winter SIeepers.

The bat, tortoise and dormouse are;
counted among the best winter sleep
ers, So deep is the lethargy of a.
dormouse that If this little creature
is awakened suddenly and put near a
fire his pulse beats so slowly that he Is
lifeless in few minutes. While asleep
he is kept alive by the surplus food
which he has eaten in the autumn
and which is stored up in his body az
fat Frogs and toads are even sounder
sleepers and approach nearer TO q life
less condition in sleep than any other
animal life except certain fish. For
in them the heart stops beating and
breathing in the ordinary way Is i'm
possible. During this time the breath
ing is carried on through the pores =
the skin. These strange casss - ~
por are also caused ~ 49, OF food
during bitter cold. For In countries
where excessive heat and drought pre-
vail there are numerous instances OF
torpor that are quite as profound as
hat exhibited by the winter sleepers.

Speaker of the House of Commons.

With all his authority the speaker of
the house of commons respects the
house and the house respects the
speaker. That is the very essence of
order in the institution which has won
the title of the mother of parliaments.
In his book, The Speaker of the
House." Michael Macdonagh describes
the origin and romantic history of the
speakership. This Office, which holds
so many pitfalls, is treated as one of
great honor and dignity. A salary OF
e 5000 (S25,000) year, palatial resi-
dence and retiring pension of $4,000
($20,O00) a year, with a peerage,' are
the distinctions the nation bestows on
the first commoner in England. Dur
ing the parliamentary session the
speaker gives two full dress levees and
seven full dress dinners. or the many
ancient perquisites of the Office only.
two, Mr.. Macdonagh tells US, now
survive. A buck and doe killed in the.
royal preserves at Windsor are an
nually sent to him, and the Cloth
Workers company of London presents
him at Christmas with a generous
width of the best broadcloth.S
