After the case was fully explained the clerk said to tell Theo that there's a dead man in' the basement and explained to the stranger thai Theo had been badly scared by a skeleton in a basement.

When the man who handles the filthy lucre for the Hagenbeck & Wallace shows tied an old twine siring around a sack containing $12, 000 he kissed Chanute good bye. That's what it cost Chanute to have a Rood time Tuesday and not a mother's soir has kicked on the piice. Tne doctor himself could not have precribed a better day for a circus. Hot, sure it w.s noi hot as '.veil something likt Texas in -he sumrntr time. That's why so few people caught cold. Tne heat helped the flavor of the red lemonade and made business far the laundrymen who have families to support. The blaring bands, the roaring lions, the steam calliope the crowded streets, the den of snakes, the prancing horses, the antics of the monkeys, the sportive clowns, the beautiful costumes of the per formers all pass before the memory in kahedescope effect the whole remaining as a muddled memory of cjrcus fay TRUEBLOOD DONALDSON Miss Merle Trueblood and W.

Phone 828, Street INCREASE IN ELECTRIC RECEIPTS ! The electric light collections ' for this month show a creditable increase Three hundred dollars better than this time last year and $305 better than last month. This Is the first month in which the minimum charge of fifty cents per month has been ustd, but only a small proportion of the increase was from that The greater part was from the increased day service. Many new motors have been installed since the electric light charges have been revised. Under this ordinance and schedule of prices all motors of more than half a horse power are given day service at the rate of two cents per kilowatt Before thecharg-: had been four cents unless 200 K W were used. All above that was three cents.
