The tickets on the free lot will be
issued as long as the sale continues,

no strings to the free lot proposition,
all one has to do is to call at the tent
and get the ticket without charge, no
purchase is necessary. Some one is
going to get the lot and it is q good
one, with sewer and water mains to

FRED JACOBSON BE
COMES A BENEDICT

We have heard rumors for some
time that Money Order Clerk Fred
jacobson, Of the local post office force,
had atnotion to take on the yoke Of
matrimony but nothing came Of these
rumors until Monday Of this week
when he was married to Miss Hope
Wallace at! Devils Lake. The bride
was formerly a teacher in. our city
schools Fred needs no introduction
to our readers. He is one Of the finest
young men we have here and popular
with everybody. The editor is not ac-
quainted with his bride but those who
do know her tell US that she is a most
estimable lady. Friends Of the con-
tracing parties will join the Tines
Record in extending hearty congratu-
lations and best wishes for the future.
Mr.. and Mrs. jacobson have gone to
the Twin Cities to spend their honey
moon and expect to be gone two
weeks. On their return they will set
tie down to Housekeeping in this city.

UNCLE SAM
KICKS The KAISER

Uncle Sam the only horse that ever
kicked the kaiser. @
Uncle Sam is the only horse that
bears the distinction Of having kicked
the kaiser. s @
He is big white dancing horse
with the Al G. Barnes animal circus
that comes here uJne 30 for q one
day stay. # . gss
Fifteen years ago Barnes picked him
up on the San Luis Obispo range. The
Snowman picked him out for the
beauty Of his lines and the litheness
Of his movements. He soon became q
net Of Barnes and after months OF pa.
tient training was broken to do the
hula dance in the Barnes circus.
Prior to the outbreak Of the war
Barnes took his big show abroad and.
while showing in Berlin, Uncle sam
California range horse, attracted the
attention Of the Kaiser who, with the
Crown Prince, then STRIPPING, at
tended the show. At the conclusion Of
the performance, according to Barnes.
and his press agent, who is authority
for the statement, Kaiser Bill with q
Prussian swagger pushed his way into
the arena and attempted to pat Uncle
Sam on his glossy neck.
AT that time the Hohenzollerns were
in comparatively good standing with
the rest Of the world, especially circus
men showing in Berlin, and Barnes
wasdeeply mortified and none the less
Mortified when Uncle Sam, the Yankee
steed. made q swift kick at the
Kaiser's shins.

BAND DE
LIGHTS CROWD

We have heard lots Of figures given
for the big crowds that have attended
political gatherings and in each case
the attendance has been Exaggerated
but yesterday there was no need for
camouiage in estimating the crowd
that came to hear John Philip Sousa's
famous band yesterday at Chautauqua
Park and we shall not be far out Of the
way if we say that there were between
four and five thousand people who
were delighted at the splendid musical
program rendered BY the worlds
greatest band. John Philip Sousa SIS
world known as one Of the greatest
band MASTERS of these times He has
an organization Of musicians culled
from over the. country the best taat

tion yesterday. Many Of the military
marches played yesterday were com-
posed BY Lieut.. John Philip Sousa him
self and they. were all inspiring ones,
too. They say that music hath

and we guess that it true 5 for it GER
tainly was soothing to the tired human
being yesterday who heard this pro-
gram, and we are not limiting in our
quotation that, there were any savage
beasts in that audience. All we can
say of this concert is that it lived up
to the reputation that band has the
world over under the leadership and
supervision Of the great band master.
Many solos were given, each one re-
ceiving hearty encores from the pleas
ed audience. The band pleased every
