Another body was found in the nv

FAIR BUILDING MONEY
st. Martin School Adds TO Fund for
Structure on County Fair
Grounds.

District No. 125 in the town of st.
Martin is the second in the county to
contribute to the fund being raised to
erect a school exposition building at
the Stearns county fair, says Satur-
days St. Cloud Times. As has been
done in other counties, the schools of
4Stearns have made plans for develop
ing fund ample to cause the erec-
ton of building at Sank Centre that
will house school exhibits made at the
county fair.
The first district to respond was
the st. Augusta district which sent
$17.40. This morning check for SIS
came from the st. Martin school, of
which Henry ]. Adrian is teacher and
Joseph Reusch, John Arceneau and
Henry Wolfekuehle are directors.
The plans outlined for gathering the
money necessary did not provide fol
so early a start but the st. Augusts
and st. Martin schools decided the
present none too early and have wor
the distinction of sending the first two
contributions.
All money to be used fol- this pur
pose is to be made by giving entertain
ments, picnics and socials, the worl
of the students themselves to be re
sponsible for the raising of the build
ing fund.

AMUSEMENT INNOVATION
Jones Bros. & Wilson's Wild Animal
Show Appears In Sank Centre
Friday, July 81.

That there is nothing new under
the sun has been disproved by Jones
Bros and Wilson's Shows in present
ing their attraction to the public this
season. 1t is conceived along original
lines, and is presented on a scale of
grandeur and magnificance, making
all other competitors pale into insig-
nifcance.
The moment one enters the large
canvas, from the handsomely decorated
cages and dens, to the comfortably ar
ranged seats everything denotes class.
A large elevated stage, enclosed by
large steel barred arena, fills one en-
tire end of the tent. This immense
steel enclosed stage measures 80 feet
wide and 60 feet deel, :: is an exact
duplicate of the stage used by the
Hackenbeck Wonder Zoo and Circus,
that created such a sensation on the
Olympic in London last winter; in this
arena the wild animal performances
are given. The rest of the tent is
filled by two regulation circus rings
and large elevated stage.
The wild animal performances are
wonderful, the animals themselves are
a revelation to circus goers; even an
inexperienced eye can tell at a glance
that these are not the descrepit, angy,
inbred specimens usually seen with
tented organizations. In asking Mr..
H. G. Wilson, one of the proprietors,
for an explanation, ll- answered, the
reason is very simple, we use only
forest bred animals for our groups,
and while a trainer to handle forest
bred animals must be an expert in his
line, there is not as much chance of
accidents as from domestic raised ami
mails, for with our animals trainer
is always on his guard; ne cannot
make pets of any one of them, con-
sequently he never relaxes his vigil
ance.
Everything imaginable in the way
of trained animal performances are
given, from the smallest monkey to
the largest elephant. Even clown
numbers are presented by animal ac-
tors, clown bears, clown monkeys,
clown dogs, clown pigs, clown ponies,
and the largest and heaviest clown in
the world, MYRTLE the clown ele-
plant.
The horses and ponies must not be
overlooked, hundreds of beautiful
Shetland ponies, performing stunts of
all kinds, building pyramids, and drill
ling like an army Of soldiers.
The high school horses deserve
special mention, unquestionabIy the
most wonderful trained horses in the
world, including STAYAWAY, the
worlds greatest high jumping horse
with a record of 7 feet and 10 inches.
All in all, Jones Bros and Wilson's
Shows are commendable enterprise
yhich will enthuse the most blase Low.
er Of amusements, and they have set
pace that it will be extremely diff
cult for any of their competitors to
follow.
