After the installation ceremonies, re

Sells-Floto 8howi.
Mr. Alan Rogers, the famous Southern
critic, says: '
When a man gets too old to take a day
off when the circus comes to town it is
time for him to get busy with his will, or
else have the doctor in to overhaul his
liver. The man who does not care for
the sights and sounds of the sawdust
arena is certainly' badly out of joint
somewhere.
This Sells-Floto Circus Beautiful is
the limit. The writer has never been
able to care very much for a four-ring
show with elevated stage and hippo
drome attachment. How is one man to
watch four rings at once, keep, tab on a
bicycle act on the elevated stage and
piok the winner of the hippopotamus
race at one and the same time? This is
not a good business for the eyes, besides
sending one away with the feeling that
he has missed something. When you go
to tiie circus you want to see it all, and
that is the charm of the Sells-Floto show.
From first to last every act is snappy
and up-to-date, and you can't miss a bit
of it unless you shut your eyes.
But the great hit of the long program
is "the Girl in Red," the little lady who
does the bareback act. Her name is a
mystery, gentle reader, but she looks as
if it might be Mary or some other old
faabioned name. She is just a fresh, un
spoiled little girl, the neatest, daintiest
little girl that ever wore fluffy skirts or
jumped through a hoop.
The old-timers on the front rows sat
np and Rasped, with pure admiration
when she danced into the ring. In fact,
oae enthusiast expressed his feelings by
sitting up so straight he fell over back
ward. There are so many good features
ia the Sells-Floto program it is entirely
worthy a visit when it comes here Fri
day, July 10. .
Magnolia Consolidated Gold Mines
Company.
W. A. McAllister, Henry Wilckens,
M. C. Caltoand O. C. Shannon took the
early morning train for Omaha on Mon
day to attend a meeting called to perfect
the organization of the Magnolia Con
solidated Gold Mines Company.
The company was organized with a
capital stock of 1,000,000 shares of the
par value of $1.00 per share, fully paid
and non-assessable stock, 200,000 shares
of stock being placed in the treasury as
a reserve for future possibilities, such as
the erection of mills, reduction works or
power plants, etc., for the reduction of
ores on its own ground.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, Geo. N.
Hicks, Omaha; vice president. O. C.
Shannon, Columbus; treasurer. M. O.
Calto, Oolumbus; secretary, L C Hicks,
Columbus.
The company owns the following min
ing claims, viz: The Magnolia, patent
No. 365; the Golden Wedge lode; Mo
hawk lode; Golden Beauty lode; Colum
bus lode; Tuscarora lode; Columbus
Mill site and Golden Beauty Mill site,
all lying continguous and in one group,
and situated about 9 miles went of Boul
der, Colorado, and about 5 miles from a
station on the narrow-gauge railroad
from Boulder to Eldora andWard, Colo
rado, and only 1200 feet from anew cus-
' torn mill, built especially for the treat
ment of the ores of Magnolia mountain.
The company will at once re-timber the
old workings and build ore houses pre
paratory to taking out ore and begin
steady shipments of the better grades of
ore, and also make arrangements for
running the ore on the old dumps to the
custom mill.
The company has placed on the market
a few thousand shares at 25 cents per
share to meet the necessary expense of
placing this property on a producing
basis, and as it is a mine in every sense
of the word, the stock will quickly be
snapped up.

Alfalfa Fad Cattle Waited.
When a train'load of cattle sold in
Omaha last week for $20,000, being ez-
Mciiy 90 per nunarea pounds tor every
steer on board, the bayere for the South
Omaha packing houses said "They were'
among the finest ever brought to this
market and were fattened on a mixture
of corn and alfalfa,"
The great packers have recognized
that the alfalfa fed cattle are of superior
quality and are doing all that they can
to encourage feeders to mix the great
proteia rooa wnncorn in sued propor
tiou as will enable the stock to utilize
all the carbo-hydrates and oil in the
corn. These they .cannot use without
waste unless a protein ration is given as
a neutralized.
To encourage feeders to take up the
balanced ration as the beet for cattle,'
the packers are to have exhibits at the
National Corn exposition to be held in
Omaha next December, and will show
in the cuts of meat the superiority of
that from alfalfa-corn 'fed steers. It
will be one of the most interesting ex
hibits ever shown at any exposition and
the expense wdl be entirely paid by the
packers.
