Wallace's Circus Bigger Than Ever.
Bigger and better than ever, the Great Wallace Circus will soon be with us. Every department has been enlarged. Four hundred arenic performers: over a hundred cages contain the Million Dollar Zoo. and the show is completely tilled with new and absolutely different novelties. In Greenfield on Friday, Sept.
The Wallace Show is truly a mammoth institution. When one has seen it from end to end. outside and inside, and has formed an inventory of what he has seen and learned for a very nominal fee, how much real pleasure and benefit it has been, be can easily understand wh}^ a big three-ring circus, of the high standard of the "Wallace Show occupies the enviable position in the amusement world that it does.

What Does it Mean?
Canneltcn Enquirer.
On Tuesday this office received the following card addressed "Cannelton Enquirer," mailed atOwensboro, Ky without stamp, and signed by the postmaster of that town. It reads: "Postoffice at Owensboro, Ky.,
Aug. ."), 1905.
Sir: Pursuant to Instructions from the Postmaster General, I beg leavre to inform you that your paper addressed to Wm. Tower, 1114 Breck, Owensboro, Ky.,is not taken out. but remains dead in this office. You will please discontinue same. F. A. VanRensselear. P. M. Reason: Refused."'
Now, what puzzles us is wh}T Mr. VanRensselear, P. M. writes us. We dourt know him, and besides it was onl}' last week that we wrote William at 1114 Breck. Our letter had a bill for $1.25 in it, but how could that effect the matter? And that remark about something remaining dead in the Owensboro postoffice. Can it be possible that William dropped dead in there when he went to get his paper, and Mr. VanRensselear is trying to accommodate us by telling us about it because he knew we wrote him last week? There must be something decidedl\r wrong or else William is a powerful popular fellow down there as Mr. VanRensselaer says on his card that the Postmaster General instructed him to inform us about William, and that he begged leave to do it. In the meantime, where in the dickens is our dollar and a quarter? There's only one of two things: either William is lying around dead in the Owensboro postoffice, or it's our paper. If it's any part of us we want that dollar and a quarter to get a union suit of blue overalls to be laid away in. But the beatinest thing about it is, how did Postmaster General get on to it so that he told Mr. VanRensselear to tell us. This durn country is gettin' all twisted out of shape since the wireless telegraphy has got here. And that last paragraph is what gets us again ''Reason—Refused." If there is anything that's refused we know it's not ours. We asked for all tint was coming to us. Up here we hand over everything that's refused to the garbage man -that is we used to. It can't be William's paper that is "Reason—Refused'' because he wrote us over a year ago to send it to him. No wonder Mr. Roosevelt is investigating the postal affairs, and it's a two-to-one shot—-(no hold up a dollar-and-a-quarter-to-one shot) that this is what was found when he got to Owensboro's postoffice. It seems to ns there is an excellent chance for some detective work in this case. While we don't understand a thing about what it all means we feel very grateful to the Postmaster General for telling Mr. VanRensselear to write us aboui William. It ought to be worth a dollar and a quarter to any poor country editor to get to cutting ice with a big" company like William and the Postmaster General and other big men. Good bye, old dollar and a quarter, if that's what this all means we've had our share of glory out of it and the figure we have cut has puffed us up like a frog full of dry apples. But we would like to know just who is dead. We ain't particularly used to getting such mysterious cards, but it looks now like we are going to.

One summer evening .iabe/. v.as smoking his pipe 0:1 his stoop wheu a mau drove up in a buggy and. asked if he could, be accommodated .with a supper and a bed for the night. .Ial e:c was about to turn him away when he noticed that the horse he drove was built for speed. He at once conceived the idea of getting the animal into his possession by trading the poorest horse in his barn for it and acceded to tho stranger's request. During the evening he pumped the owner of the animal to discover if he was aware of its value. The man did not appear to put much value 011

At any rate, Jabez considered his f'ao.-i i'or niakmi shrewd deals so invnoun that he left his wife to do ali tho work 011 his little farm while lie traded in horseiiesli, cattle and such live stock as farmers use.

difficulty in persuading
the stranger to remain over a day, and, for the matter of that, he showed no disposition to depart at the end of a week or a month or six months. He was all this time making up his mind whether he wished to swap horses. Then Jabez tokl him to make up his mind or get out, whereupon the stranger swapped horses without any "to boot," and Jabez was delighted. The horse he gave was not worth while the one he received he finally sold for $500. This fine bargain, the only one Jabez ever made, confirmed him in the opinion that lie was a born trader.
One day the stranger told Jabez that he was staying in the region for his health that he had been greatly benefited and proposed to remain indefinitely. If Jnbez would let him build a small house on his premises he would pay a fine rental and turn over his house to Jabez without cost 011
his
departure. Jabez v.',-is delighted. The stranger asked him to lix his own rental, and Jabez named an enormous price considering that in a short time he was to have the building. The lessee consented at once.
Jabez supposed that as soon as (he lease was signed the building would go up. but by the terms the lessor was entitled to put: his structure wherever he pleased on .Tnbox's property. He spent several
making up his
mind, then astonished Jabez by choosing a spot which included the well. The well was about ten feet in the rear of Jabez's dwelling, and the new structure would be disagreeably close, shutting off all light from the rear windows. Jabez protested, whereupon the lessor, instead of claiming his right under his lease, offered a handsome bonus, which satisfied Jabez and gave him great confidence in the way he managed his affairs also a certainty that the stranger was either crazy or a fool.
With the final payment, lumber began to arrive and a structure to go up over the well house. There were few windows and none in position where any one in the old house could look Into the new one. This made the architectural effect peculiar. In due time the building was finished and the stranger moved in. After that he stayed at home a great deal. Jabez wondered what he was doing in his house and one day condescended to ask his wife what she thought about it. She replied that the stranger had paid enough to do what he liked. Then one day Jabez noticed a crack in his wall, but when he called his wife's attention to it she made light of it. Finally the hearthstone, which had lain on the ground in the same position for forty years, showed signs of sinking. Then Jabez began to suspect something was wrong.
After noticing this last peculiarity Jabez looked for the stranger to come out of his house to ask him some questions. But the stranger did not come out. Jabez waited three days, then, thinking the man might have died, told his wife that he proposed to open the door and investigate. The wife told him that he had best do so by all means. Jabez went into the new house and found it tilled with dirt. In the middle was the well out of which the dirt appeared to have come. .Tabez looked down and saw that there was no water. In some way it had either been turned off or the tlow stopped altogether. Jabez- ran for a ladder and, putting it down, descended and found a tunnel running toward his house. Going through it, he came to an excavation upward. Then he understood the settling of the hearth.1 Going back, he told his wife of the wonderful discovery he had made.
She burst out laughing. As soon as the good woman could control her mirth she made the following confession: She had suspected the stranger from the first and had at last charged him with some especial design. He told her that if she would preserve secrecy and not stand in his way he would make her fortune. Upon her agreement to do so he had imparted to her that somewhere on the premises, which had once belonged to a miser,' was hidden a large sum of money. She had permitted him to get it In his own way, he agreeing to divide it with her.
At this point in her recital Mrs. Crowfutt took her husband to a closet and opened a trunk, and Jabez saw that it was full of money.
