CIRCUS TRUST. Indiana To Be a Storm Center for a Job Lot of Circuses. If the work of the route agents I and advance men can be taken as I an indication, Indiana is to be th, . storm center during the summer for a war between the circus trust and the indejiendent circuses. It is going to open early and lively, and it looks like the public is going to get the benefit of a lot of big shows at lower prices than usual and that Indiana will have seen all of the big shows before the summer is half over. Just now the Wallace and Ringling cireuses are in c mtest for Indiana dates, and word has hrn received in this city that ■ the agents for the Foreqxengh-Sells ■ circus will lie here in a few days for ' an curly summer date. The Ring 1 lings are indc]>endent of the trust and the bittie is directed against' them. Ben Wallace is said to b more or less independent, but he' leans toward the circus combina ' tion occasionally and his bookings) do not happen to conflict with any i of the shows in the combine. Wai-' lace sometimes gets in ahead of an I inde]x>ndent circus, or right along 1 with it, and does not lose money on the deal, although business may not be big for both shows. Lost or Stolen.
