The company. It is asserted by Its officers, Is perfectly willing to extend its mains wherever the patron age will warrant It. The lighting contract Itself, with the gas question eliminated. Is considered by the city aufhrtrttles an 'exreptlontilly advan tageous one for the city. Borne of thu councllmen favor eliminating from the con tract all reference to the price of gas and xtenalon of mains and leaving this matter to be settled by the council in an ordinance. The council haa the. right to fix the price of gas. proylded the rate so fixed would not b deemed unreasonable by the courts, and aoma of the councllmen contend that this question has no place tn the contract be tween the city and the company for the lactrio lighting of the city. ...

NO ATTEMPT AT ANY CHANGE 'Frisco Road Will Leave Grain Hate to the Sooth It la at Present.' That th 'Fliaco road 'will not attempt to. make any further changes in rates on grain from Kansas City south, since the decision of the Interstate Commerce com mission that Its' proposed rate on grain originating in Nebraska., is Illegal, Is the opinion expressed by--members of the Omaha Grain exchang-eui'To cut rates from Kansas City south on graln, irrespective of origin, would, be ,to,iwlt a cut from Omaha south by thi iJHnois -Central, and the grain men do iot,)jfliev the 'Frisco wjll begin a rate slashing contest. : "The decision of the commission will keep Kansas City from getting grain that rightfully belongs to Omaha," said W. C. Sunderland. "It took to me like it is up to the 'Frisco-to' wrthdra Ihe rate or lay Itself liable to 'criminal prosecution. I think that road will let rates rest now. If It attempts to make a 9-cent rate on cojp from Kansas City to- Memphis, the Illinois Central will at once make a rate of 10 cents from Omaha id Memphis." "Every man -who ' I Interested In the welfare of the Omaha grain market Is re joicing over the outcome," said J. E. Von Dorn. "The 'Frisco may find some way to get around the decision, .but I doubt It," said J. H. Hamilton. I think we can have no more to fear from that road." "The decision has shown the exchange what It can do when If get busy," said A. B. Jaqulth. ' "The matter was taken up with the Interstate Commerce commission by-President Wattles, snd in a few days the commission decldari the, rate to be illegal.

SEAMY SIDE OF THE CIRCUS Parasites Who Accompany Tented Bhowt from Town to Town. VARIOUS CLASSES OF PETTY CROCKS Their Opportunities Fonnd ( hleSy In Rnrnl Districts Traits and Tricks of f nnvnshack Hoboes. Ever since the daye of the one-tent, no clown "show'- the arrival of the circus in town has been the signal for redoubled vigilance on the part of the police force; for no matter whether the "show" Is large or small, It Is bound to have its train of gamblers, swindlers, pickpockets and petty thirves. There Is no better opportunity for giaft of any kind than that found in the crowds which flock to the big "tops'" of the average traveling ."shows." and conse quently, although In the present day the more reputable companies, maintain private police forces of their own, they are prac tically powerless outside of the larger cities. Nowadays the tendency among circuses, as among other amusement enterprises, Is for consolidation, a tendency which effect the crowd of disreputable hangers-on, as well as the higher rank, so that the larger the circus the larger the number of para sites swept along with It. Then, too, while the larger and more reputable "show" re press the criminal element as much aa pos sible, there are doxens of road companies which are only too willing to wink at cer tain practices of course, for a considera tion. Furthermore, there are other circuses, not quite so many. It Is true, that are run only as excuses for carrying gangs of crim inals around the country, forming con venient refuges in time of danger. It haa been said of these "showa" that everyone, from the hostler to the ticket seller, was a "crook," and that even If one happened to pass through the sideshow safely he would be swindled In the purchase of his ticket or have his pocket picked by the man who showed him to his seat. A typical "show" of this description was the one known as "Rtickskln Rill's Wild West." which played through the middle west rural districts and steered clear of cities. It la not hilled tinder that title now. for the management finds It convetlent, every now and then, to change the name, but that, at any rate, was the res', style of the "aggregation." It Is related of this circus that when the Tounger brothers, the western bandits. Joined It several year ago, Just after their discharge from the Minne sota state prison at Stillwater, where they had been serving terms for a daring bank robbery, they left it in disgust while It was playing at Sedalla. Mo., saying that "train robbery Is an honest occupation compared to the circus business, ss conducted by this show." The Youngers might rob a bank or engineer a holdup, but were too thorough sportsmen to relish tho gamblers' tricks, and drew the line at the tricks used by "Buckskin." The "Rasorbacks." Naturally, circus "hangere-on" may be divided Into many different classes and ranks, each of which keeps to Itself and require the others to do likewise. To begin at the bottom, take the plain, or dinary "raxor-backs," or canvasmen. They are hardly criminals, principally because they have not the requisite amount of brains, but they are a rough, drunken, rolBterlng lot, doing the hardest, meanest work Imaginable, and leading a dog's life. There are a couple of hundred of them with the average' circus, but they sel dom tleK to one Job long. Their Is a roving, restless disposition, and then, too, no mnn can stand the life they lead for many weeks at a stretch. Theoretically, a "raxor-back" la supposed to get a fair amount of sleep. Actually, he gets next to none at All. As soon as the long train pulls Into town- In the gray of the early morning, the "raxor-back" tumbles out of hi bunk, If he Is lucky enough to hav. one, and sets to work to rig up the huge "tops" which he had demolished only a few hours before. As soon as the canvat la up there are other dutle to be done, such as feeding the animals and the like, and by the time the performance beglm he Is quite ready to take the rest that is Justly his. But before the "raaor-back" haa got one eye well shut, the voice of the bosa can vasman bellow,. "Guy ropes, boys, guy ropes," and, wearily rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he Jumps up to pull blindly on a rope with a half-score of others a tired as .himself, for the call means thai there Is a reef In one of the tents, and reefi are too dangerous to be Ignored.

The only variance between the canvas man and the common hobo Is that the lat ter will not work under ny circumstances, while the former have 'an unreasoning, restless deelre for Working when thev feel lik It. xEven In winter time they putter around In restaurant kitchen, "dlvin' for pearls." aa washing dishes Is railed, doing any manner of scullery work that will net enough for board and lodging and an occasional spree. In the thieves' peerage they are ranked at the very bot tom of the profession. Just below the "cats" or common hobos, who lark the necessary nerve for actual crime, but are, to a cer tain extent, redeemed bv their hatred of work. v Criminal In l ine. The actual criminals who take advantage of the "show s'" ample canvas may be di vided Into two general clasac: The "strong arm" variety, who employ force, and the gentler, but none the less efficacious "strong Joint'1 men, or gamblers, who. of course, reap their profits through clever tricks and deceits. Of the two classes men tioned, the second Is probably the one best known to the public, as Its members drive their trade hi the open, and, indeed, are familiar figures at any circus or fair grounds, obtruding upon one's attention their loud and flashy clothing and equally loud and fluent conversation. The yar scattered, as a rule, all through the grounds, among the more Innocent "kid shows" (side showa), "Juice Joints" (lemon ade stands), or "candy butchers' " stands, and other various device for relieving the ruatic of his money, from the hcll to th "squeeze spindle" game. A distinct branch of the "strong Joint" men Is formed by the negro element, which Is always found In a circus' wake. They are almost without exception desperate characters, who run "seven-up," casino and crap games during the daytime and try their hands at highway robbery or burglary at night, forming a curlou combination of the "strong arm" and "atrong Joint" classes. Ths other clsss, the "strong arm" men, is by far the most picturesque, numbering In its ranks specimens of most of the various types of criminals. Including safe burglars, highwaymen, 'prowlln' sloughers" or housebreakera, and, more especially, pickpockets. Pickpockets are by far the most numerous and Important, as the larae crowd that hang around circus grounds offer excellent opportunities. They are known collectively among their confreres as the "mob o' dips" and are subdivided Into five classes "fob hustlers," "moll btixxers,' "thimble riggers," "stone getters'' and "pappy roustsrs." The first division consist of those who are specialists In abstracting the contents of a fob pocket; the second of expert In robbing the pockets of women' dresses; the third of those who detach watches INDIA AND CEYLON By reason of ita purity, quality and economy, a new atandurd neer before attained by any other tead baa been et by Tetley's.
