PACK BIG TENT
Thousands OF TOpekans Attend
Observation-Disclosures Circus.
Streets Lined for Long Parade
This Morning.

Preceded by a parade on Kansas
avenue. the afternoon performance of
the Hagenbeck- Wallace shows OIened
promptly at O'Clock this afternoon
at the fair grounds. While the great
er part of the city was still asleep,
three long trains pulled into the Santa
Fe yards. Work of unloading, OBJ
served by only a few who arose early
especially to see the transfer, began
in less time than it takes to tell it.
Before o'clock the last wagon was
on its way to the fair grounds.
The kiddies were in their element.
All day they floclled around the show
grounds and frequently had to be
firmly but gently ordered back out of
the waysby some of the more than
l 900 workmen putting up tents and
equipment. Kansas avenue was lined
with a crowd several deep on the
sidewalks on both sides of the shoro-
fare ar hour or more before the pa

10000 GO INSANE?
Should Million U. S. Troops Occupy
Trenches, This Is Result.

Chicago, July 11.-Should America
send 100000 men to the firing line
in France it is to be expected that
10000 of them will go insane, accord
ing to statistics discussed by the alien
lists and neurologists of America at
their meeting here. So large a per-
centage o. insanity is said by the
alienists and neurologists to be a new
phase in the toll of battle and is
partly accounted for by the tremend-
Gus volume of artillery and high ex-
ploSiVeS.
For the first time in warfare there
have been esta blished field hospita Is
for the insane said DR.. Geo. A. Eel
Ter, president of the society. In the
worst cases the percentage of insanity
ranges forty to regiment. Human
nerves have never given way before
to such an extent"

The big Golden Belt grain elevator
being built east of the Union Pacific
station will be- completed. it is
thought, in two months. The base
ment has been dug and the wooden
frames are being installed, in which
the concrete work of the structure
will be moulded.
When completed, the elevator will
constitute one huge block of solid con-
crete. 1t will stand 165 feet high Six
large cylindrical wheat bins will be
built, strengthened by bands of steel
against the great pressure of stored
grain. They will stand in rows of
three ana between the rows will be
smaller square bins. The elevator will
I4ol>l 4oU,vVV bushels.
While the structure will not be COM
pleted by threshing time, the farmers
are expected to hold their wheat long
er than usual this year, in order to
avoid giving the benefit of later high
prices to grain brokers' and Specula-
tive buyers. 1t is thought that the
new elevator will be in working trim
in time to handle its share of the later
eastward moving wheat.
Officer A. B. Scott this morning

it was found that the children had

East St., Louis, Ill, July 1l.-De-

Brundage that the state will take an
-active part in prosecutions of leaders
in the race riots and that murderers

heavy hand of Brundage have left the
city, it Is reliably asserted and lead
ers Of the mob are going to be mighty
hard to find.
Preliminary inquiries have brought
out conflicting testimony and shown
inability by witnesses to give exact
descriptions Of men who were mob
members. In only a few instances
have positive !dentifications been
made.

were extended on an increase of operations
which embraced many inactive specialties.

vances of one to one and one-half points.
United States steel changed hands in many many
lehem. Crucible and Lackawanna steels
meanwhile rising one to ~ points and Cast
Iron Pipe two points. Equipments includ-
ing motors, metals; oils and tobacco also
added to their advantage. Bonds were
steady with further sales of the liberty is
sue at 80 and 49-50ths.
Advances of the previous day were gen.
orally augmented at the outset of today's
trading, all the better known issues rising
from fractions to more than a point. The
movement was assisted by a moderate de-
mand from interior points, commission
houses sharing in the early purchases.
Steels. equipments, tobaccos, American SUI
gar and motors were the principal fea-
lures. Coppers, shippings and oils also
hardened but rails were dull. sale of
