CAUSES SURPRISE
CONTINUED from page ~

J. K. West of Detroit, Charles Loring
of Crookston, L. S. Kent of Alexan-
dria, and C. E. Hamzing of Brainerd,
who at once entered a vigorous pro-
test. They said the route was through
the poorest section of Minnesota from
a scenic standpoint and that they had
been given to understand that an en-
tirely different route had been decided
upon.
The route they had in mind was
known as the Eastern and Western
Route" and included practically all the
big lakes and points OF interest in
Northern Minnesota. This route, they
said, had the approval of the State
Highway commission and from what
they understood was agreeable to
members of the jefferson Highway
commission.
Not content to let the matter rest,
Senators McGarry and Baldwin at
once announced the organization of a
Northern Minnesota Boosters club to
be known as the Northern Minnesota
Scenic Highway association, and its

CIRCUS CROWD FILLS TENT
Wheeler Brothers Give Enjoyable En-
tertainment for Small Canvas
Institution.

Sank Centre had its first and per-
haps last taste of circus for this sum-
mer last Friday when the Wheeler
Bros. shows gave afternoon and eve
ming performances in their tent vii
lage on the empty lot at the east end
of Fourth street.
1t would be unjust to call the show a
circus in comparison with Ringing
or Barnum & Bailey, but good enter
tainment was afforded to those who
witnessed the performances and they
ranked on a par with the average
small tent show. The afternoon crowd
came near taxing the seating capacity
of the "big top" despite the intense
heat but the night crowd was small.
It is also stated that some of the acts
were "cut" at the night performance.
The elephant act and the polar bear
act were as good as ever put on by
any circus. The circus acts were of
the average circus calibre, though not
as numerous as with a larger show.
Naturally, there were no great fea-
ture thrills as provided by Ringlings
but the crowd slipped lemonade and
munched peanuts and cracker-jack
gleefully with careless abandon re-
garding the reproaches of the inter-
nal workin's. Owing to shortage OF
help the parade did not pass through
the streets until shortly after noon.
The employees were an orderly crowd
and gave the police no trouble.

UNUSUAL FAMILY REUNION

A gathering of unusual interest was
held on Saturday July %, at the home
of David E. Chase, of Round Prairie,
when his brother and sister met, to-
gether with many other relatives by
blood and marriage. All of the living
descendants of the late E. F. Chase,
a pioneer Of West Union, with the ex-
ception of five grand children, who
are in Oregon were present.
The central group consisted Of Mrs.
Rebekah Sleeper Chase of Long Prair-
lie, Mr.. and Mrs. David E. Chase and
family, Mrs. Lena St. Clair of Gresh-
am, Oregon, VIM. P. Chase and fam
lily of Baker, Mimi, and Mr.. and Mrs.

Roth heaved one too high for
Schwartz to handle. Wollan was an
easy out.
Bradley led off for the locals and
whitfield. Weisner was safe when
Gray booted his grounder. Wills sin
gled and scored behind Weisner when
Jacobson clouted to left field for a
three sacker. Schwartz scored Jacob
son with a clean single but was dou-
bled a moment later when Franta flied
to Wollan. 1t was the last scoring by
the locals. The sixth was unproduc-
tive of scores and then came the
heart-rending seventh and the big
biowup. Griffin, first up, sent a
screamer over Wills head and round
ed the bases. 1t was the first homer
made on the local grounds this sea-
on and one of the longest hits ever
seen here. The pill rolled to the in
side fence on the race track. Reed
walked, stole second and scored on
landings single, which Franta let get
by him, allowing Landing to score.
The comedy continued in the eighth.
Lee bobbed Morris easy grounder
and he scored when Cooper registered
a two-sacker to center which Gala
CHER misjudged. Griffin was safe on
Weisner's boot, but was caught trying
to steal. Reed hit to Lee and was out
at first. Landing Strengthened one
out for two bases and scored when
Gray followed suit. Wollan ended the
agony by flying to Gallagher. There
was no scoring in the ninth.
The locals made enough runs to win
an ordinary game but Roths' ineffec-
tiveness tells the story of defeat.

Light Company to
Give Free Service
To the Sick Poor

What promises to win the heartfelt
gratitude of those who are benefited
thereby is the offer of the Omaha
Electric Light and Power company,
through its president, General
George H. Harries, to install electric
fan service during the summer for
those afflicted with illness, who are
financially unable to secure this serv-
ice. Application for the fan service
is to be made by attending physicians.
Physicians have been notified that
applications by them will result in the
installation of temporary wiring and
fan with a supply of operating cur
rental without charge. The only
requirement is that houses so served
shall be on streets where there are
lines.
at is a privilege to aid in making
conditions more nearly bearable for
those with whom we all sympathize, ="
said General Harries.
The same offer was made last year
through the physicians, but on &C
count of the cool summer few calls
for the service were made. Local
physicians are loud in their praise Of
the company's offer.

was even harder to get aboard the

in their eyes.
