Mrs. Nelins says that Innes was in
Atlanta early in June. She further
declares her belief that the lawyer
exerted a hypnotic influence over
Mrs. Dennis, and charges that on sew
eral occasions he has taken advan-
tage of this power in order to ad-
vance his own interests.
Mrs. helms further insists that
Innes promised to turn over to Bea-
trice helms deeds for Mexican prop
erty he was supposed to have bought
for Mrs. Dennis, and that the missing
women went to Houston, Texas, to get
these papers. She claims that she
once overheard Innes and Mrs. Dennis
discussing a plan whereby he was to
go to India and secure a divorce, and
then marry Mrs. Dennis.
Mrs. helms HAS offered a reward of
s40o for the finding OF her daughters,
dead or alive.

BARNUM & BAILEY
HERE THIS WEEK
Circus to Be Seen in Matinee
and Night Performances
at Exposition Park.

Next Friday is to be the red letter
day on the calendar for the little boy
and his big brother. 1t is circus day
and that means the grand climax to the
plans and meditations of the past sew
eral weeks.
According to the Barnum & Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth announce
ments there is some instructive and
entertaining amusement in store for
those who witness the unloading of
the circus paraphernalia- This is said
to be an education in itself.
The Barnum & Bailey show is from
the standpoint of magnitude one of the
I can continent and that means that it
must be veritable moving metropolis
in the amusement line.
From the past reputation of the cir
Gus It is only reasonable to expect that
| it still carries with it some of the
| finest horses to be seen in the country
and these will all be seen to advant-
age while the train is being unloaded.
And the manner in which the work
of unloading and setting up camp is
conducted is said to be with clock-like
precision. Every move is for a pur-
pose and an account of the multitude
of things that must be done at one
time the wheels within wheels turn
without interfering with each other.
Then, when this work is nearly COM
pleted, there will follow the monster
parade in which the spectators will be
given their first opportunity to gaze
on all the animals and interesting feat
ures that go to make circus menag-
erie.
All of the above attractions and
many more will be closely watched by
the little boy and his big brother, and
it is safe to conjecture that many of
"paterfamilias" will also be found TAX
ing advart<ge of the opportunity Just
to show the children the circus"
Two performances are announced
for Friday next, afternoon at o'clock,
and again in the evening at o'clock.
The doors will be opened at 1 and 7
O'Clock, allowing a full hour for visit
ing the geological collection in the
menagerie.
