CIRCUS COMING
ARRIVAL OF ADVERTISING CAR
OF Observation-Disclosures
COMPANY.

The advertising a of the Hagen
beck-Wallace circus company arrived
in the city this morning, attached to
the south freight. A force of men al
once entered upon the work of bill
posting and by noon the city was red
with flaming posters. The date of
the show in Madison is Thursday,
July 20. This is one of the big shows
of the country. including menagerie
and circus, and travels by special
trains, said to require six engines to
transport their equipment. The date
of appearance in Madison is favorable
for the farmers, and it is likely the
largest circus crowd will be seen in
Madison on that date since the days
of the Ringing exhibitions in this
city.
The company has bargained with
the city commission to erect their
performing and m%enagerie tents in
Athletic park, South Egan avenue.
This will be more convenient for the
public than the grounds in the vicin-
ity Of the power plant where circuses
are usually located. The horse and
cook tents will be erected on the rail-
road right of way.

DRY MADISON
CITY COMMISSION MAKES 1T DIFF
FICULT TO SECURE
LIQUORS.

BY a vote of more than 100 ma ior-
ity the city of Madison went dry at
the April election. Previous to that
time the vote had been practically a
tie, varying from three to five major
ity in favor of the vets, but at times
this had to be verified by the courts.
Just what contributed to the land
slide in favor of the drys in April is
open to anybody's conclusions. but
the general opinion is that the bust
ness men of Madison had tired over
the annual squabble at the spring
elections and decided to put the sa-
loon problem to sleep for all time.
Since the closing of the saloons in
Madison June 80 there has not been
a sound of law violation by bootleg
ging or otherwise. and in order that
the state law prohibiting the sale of
liquor without the sanction of the
voters, the city commission has
strengthened the law by the adoption
of an ordinance of which the follow
ing is Section /, the entire ordinance
having been officially published in
last evenings Daily Leader:
THAT hereafter it shall be unlaw-
full for any person. firm or corpora
ton by himself or his agent, servant
or employe to vend. sell, furnish, give
or deliver to any person or persons
within the corporate limits of the city
of Madison, South Dakota, any vim
GUS, spirituous, malt, brewed, fer
mented or other intoxicating liquors
at retail. Provided, that nothing in
this ordinance shall be construed to
prohibit registered pharmacists from
selling or furnishing any spirituous
or vinous liquors. i'm compliance with
the laws of the state of South Dakota
relating to such sales by registered
pharmacists"
A penalty attaches of a fine of not
less than SO nor more than 500
and Imprisonment for violation of the
ordinance.
Everything points to a strict en-
forcement of the prohibition law in
Madison according to the dictates of
a decisive majority of the people of
the city.

CROOKED WORK
JOHN SNENSON HAS PECULIAR
EXPERIENCE WITH
BILLBOOK.

John Svenson. the wagonmaker,
thoughtlessly left his billbook lying
on the public desk in the p~ostoffice
lobby Tuesday forenoon of this week.
He stood at the desk preparing his
mail for transport and stepped to the
delivery box and deposited it and
walked out of the lobby leaving his
billbook on the desk. 1t was several
hours before he missed the billbook
when he recalled having left it at the
p~ostofice. A search failed of result
and yesterday he came to The Daily
Leader office to advertise his loss.
Before the paper was issued, however
Mr.. Svenson called at the p~ostoffce
for his afternoon mail and in his box
found his billbook which had been
wrapped and addressed in a scrawl-
ing hand. Investigation of the con-
tents of the billbook showed every
thing intact except SIS in currency
which had been taken by the thief.

MADISON CITY Band
MADISON CADET BAND TO START
REHEARSALS FRIDAY NIGHT.

Contributed: With the passing Of
the chautauqua, so that his attention
can be given to the aspirants for flu
ture musical honors, Mr.. Spears will
start the budding Sousas and Pryors
toward their ultimate goal at 1880 p.
m. Friday, July 16. The younger
band should prove of inestimable
value to the Madison city band, as in
the near future they will supply sew
eral to take the places Of those, who
for various reasons, have been
obliged to cancel their membership
in the parent organization. Although
the weather has not allowed the city
band to appear upon the streets for
evening concerts as frequently as we
have desired, we feel that Mr.. Spears
with the cooperation Of the members
has worked wonders, inasmuch as
from a mediocre organization they
have progressed to that extent that
they are now members of absolutely
the best band Of any city the size of
Madison, In the state, and as they
will continue to improve and gain
added strength from the new organic
alton, we should have a band worthy
of better support next year. Remem-

Bonesteel Man Observation-Disclosures
Fear Suicide.

Bonesteel, July 15.-John Nyquist,
who had been employed as a harness
maker in the Sullivan & Hendrix
hardware store, mys~teriously disap-
peared from Bonesteel last Friday
and fears are entertained that he may
have committed suicide. He had
been respondent for some time before
he left and had intimated suicide.
He had failed to work for several
days prior to his leaving, telling his
employers that his head hurt him.
His wife states that he was ~grieving
over financial troubles and expressed
resentment toward his relatives. Mrs.
Nyquist quotes him as saying: May
be they will have a different opinion
when they find my body in the
gulches."

BABY TORNADO
STORM SOLVES PULLING PROB
LEM FOR WEBSTER
FARMER.

Webster, July 15.-For weeks
William Cass. a farmer living in Nor
ton township, has been puzzled to
know how he could drain an immense
slough on his farm, SO he could cut
the hay from the land covered by the
slough. The other day a baby tor
nado visited his farm and accommo-
datingly solved the problem for him
by sucking up practically every drop
of water in the slough. Now he can
go ahead and cut the hay as soon as
the grass has attained the proper
height.
The slough covered three or four
acres and the water was from two to
three feet in depth. The twister
passed almost directly through the
center of it.
The tornado formed west of the
Ben Fish farm and Antelope lake was
the first place struck by it. 1t threw
much of the water in the lake over
adjacent fields. In a dry eason this
would have been beneficial to the
growing crops. The twister then pro-
ceeded TO the Cass farm, where 1t re-
claimed the slough.
After completing this good work
the tornado started along a highway,
apparently in pursuit of Harbo
Strand, a rural mail carrier. Ii did
not take Strand long to discover that
he was being chased by the monster
and for a few minutes the race be-
tween the tornado and the fleeing
mail carrier was exciting. Then the
tornado must have come to the con
clusion that it could not catch the
mail carrier, for with a final whirl it
leaped into the air and hurried away
to new scenes of excitement.

Using factor, and as band men in
cities of this size have to depend up

essary for their employers to show a

duty. The advertisement that they
furnish will ultimately repay the EN-
ployers for all Sacrifices that they have
