A letter from Salt Lake City , Utah ,
brings the sad news of the recent death
of the young son of Mr. and Mrs. W. G.
Reddin , formerly of our city. Death was
caused by a sequela of measles. They
have the deepest sympathy of many
warm friends.
Another step has been made toward civilizing -
ilizing the railroads of the United States ,
The Pennsylvania company has found
that sprinkling the right of way with
heavy , non-inflammable mineral oil
does keep down the dust , and in consequence - :
quence the oil is to be applied generously <
all over the system. It will cost money , .
but nothing will draw business quite so j
strongly as a dustless railroad. The ]
others must keep up the march of modem - ,
em invention or lose their most profitable - i
able passengers. (
Station Agent Knapp received word ,
the first of the week , that he was to be <
transferred to Bird City , a station farther
up the line. As that position is not as '
good a place as the one Mr. Knapp now J
holds , he declined to accept it and tendered - {
ered his resignation to the Superintend- <
ent. There has been some dirty work
done in connection with the. trouble , t
which has emanated from an official who
has a spite at the agent. Mr. Knapp J
has been stationed here for over five 1
years , has always been a hard working , 1
pains-taking employe of the company , i
and the treatment he has received
shows ingratitude to say the least. t

TWICE ITS FORMER SIZE.
RIngling Bros. ' Bigr Show More than
Doubled Since Last Year.
The fact that Rmgling Bros' . World's
Greatest Show , which exhibits in Me
Cook , Wednesday , Spetember 1strepre
sents an actual investment of $3,700,000 ,
and that the daily expeuces of this huge
traveling exposition aggregate over $7 , -
400 , constitute in themselves incontro
vertible proof that this is now beyond
all comparison the grandest and most
colossal amusement institution ever or
ganised , either in this or any other coun
try. For several years past , Ringling
Bros' , great exhibition has been recog
nized throughout the length and breadth
of the land , not onty as the largest and
best arenic institution in America , but
it has also won a signal triumph as a
distinctively new departure in amuse
ment : enterprises. No enumeration of
figures no mere list of wonderous feat
ures could give an adequate idea of the
resources of the show its overshadowing
immensity ; , its wealth of paraphernalia ,
the vastness of its mammoth hippodrome
. its of its dazzling
pavilions , army people ,
zling \ glories of gleaming gold and scintillating
,
tillating color , and its kaleidoscopic ar
ray i of strange peoples and still stranger
wild beasts. It is only by comparison
with its former greatness that its present
magnitude i can be appreciated , it is only
when it is realized that Ringling Bros' ,
circus ' has twice as many cars , twice
as many elephants , twice the number
of ' huge pavilions , twice as many people
ple , twice as many superb perform
ers ' , twice as large a racing course ,
and seating capacity for twice as many
people as it had last year , that the mag
nitude i of this wonderful enterprise can
be ] even approximately understood.
And then , such a circus , such a menag
erie , , such a bewildering display of rare
and costly features. The five double
trains j used to transport the parapher
nalia of the show represent a loading
space of 130 ordinary cars ; the 25 reason-
gifted elephants , running the gamut from
the tiniest of baby pachyderms to the
hugest of elephantine mammons , com
prise the biggest herd of elephants ever
before seen in captivity ; the three hun
dred arenic specialists embrace the very
flower of tbe amusement world , the pick
of the famous arenas of the world ; the
scores of rare wild animals represent for
tunes , and even precious lives , expended
in securing them in their native jungles ;
every carved and gold-illumined cage ,
dazzling the eye with its glittering
splendor , cost a ransom ; every gorgeous
triumphal car of the glorious new street
carnival is a triumph of art and a tribute
to the artist's inspiration ; every one of
the 400 beautiful horses is an equine de
light. The performances are given in
five arenas , in three rings , upon two big
stages on a quarter mile hippodrome
track , and in the vast dome of the lar
gest tent ever constructed.
