morning to see the circus parade. A
goodly share Of the crowd was from
the rural districts, which shows that
many were drawn into the city to see
the big shows.
Circus day keeps the traffic cops
just as busy as the state fair, and con-
siderable difficulty was encountered in
teaching out-of-town visitors that
they must not cut corners. Hundreds
Of drivers were compelled to back up
and turn a square corner at Broadway
and N. P. avenue today.

ton task.

contact with it.

more. Mr.. Leech has written Fargo

leave her until it is determined how
serious her condition may be.

has been helping Mr.. and Mrs. Snow
in their work during the last season.
Rev. Mr.. Snow reports everything in
good condition so far as the crops are
concerned in the northwestern part Of
the state.
Persons who watched the elephants
"unload' when the circus train arriv-
ed this morning were much impressed
with the in which the biggest
one in the herd left the car. All the
others walked from the side door onto
planks that rested on the rods under
the car, but the platform was removed
for the last big fellow, and he stepped
directly from the a door 10 the
ground. The feat would seem almost
impossible to n who had not wit
messed it.
