BIG TENT COLLAPSES

, 4 Endeavorers Hit by a Heavy Blow, Which Wrecks Thair Main Auditorium. \ 1 " r OHIO AGO UAH AVERTS A CALAMITY Score of Pcrfons Suffers from Wounds and Shock, One Seriously, but No One Killed. Denver, July 14.—The big Tent Endeavor, where the. Christian, Endeavor convention has been held for the past four days, was blown over, while more than 8,000 people were attending ihe proceedings. The injured numbered nearly a score, but fortunately none of them was seriously hurt Mrs- Jessie M. Thornburgh, of Denver, was the most seriously injured, her nose being badly gashed and her scalp suffering several wounds. The presence of mind of A. M. Ramsey, of Chicago, who sprang to a chair and called to the people to bold up the canvas and poles, undoubtedly prevented many from suffocating. Woman Show* Proseaoo of Mind. As it was many women fainted and were extricated from the folds of the canvas with mftch difficulty. Mrs. Winifred Sleep, of Denver, who was In charge St. Marks’ hospital tent, seeing the catastrophe at the big tent close by, telephoned the electric light company to shut off the current This prevented any damage from the live wires that had fallen with the tent poles. A feature that showed tbe religious nature of the participants was seen When the majority was extricated from the canvas folds. Led by on eastern delegate all gathered around in the open air and an impromptu praise service was held. Tost BoofWao s Big Balloon. The convention was in full progress, and although there were signs of rain and some wind was blowing no trouble was anticipated by the management. The sides of the tent were up to 'admit air, and this enabled the squall to lift up the big canvas if It were a balloon. The gust of wind that turned the tent over came so suddenly that no preparation could be made to forestall the consequences. The wind swept under the tent, the roof'of which immediately bellied out like an Immense sail. The smaller guy ropes were pulled from their places, and In a moment more the big poles were drawn from the ground.

EIGHT THOUSAND IN A PANIC

Was the Chicago Man’s Opportunity la Names of Those Who Were Bart. Immediately the 8,000 persons were in a panic, which was heightened by the screams of hundreds of women. It was then that Ramsey sprang to a chair and called loudly on thff men to hold up the canvas and catch the large supporting poles as they fell. Hundreds of men sprang to their feet, and successfully carried out the Chicago man’s suggestion, and thUB averted a calamity. As the poles fell more than 1,000 people who had beCh seated near the walls of the tent escaped the folds of the falling canvas, and these immediately formed themselves Into a rescue corps. Those who had fainted and those suffering from slight injuries were quickly removed to the hospital tent Those Injured were: Mrs. Thornburgh, Denver, bad wound In forehead, very serious; Allela Murdock, Denver, arm fractured; J. C. Peters, Alamosa, Colo., scalp wound and shock; Miss Mary Ellis, Denver, braised about body; Miss Powers, Trenton, Neb., knee Injured, body braised; Mrs. I. N.

GIRL AT OUR BOARDING HOUSE.

The girl that’s at our boardtng hofias la ,ivV miff bty sweet to me, An’ evenin'* after dinner she cornea scramblin' to my knee. To have me tell her stories —ahe's a little thing you know. For if ehe was t grown-up girl slob doin’s wouldn’t go, 1 start a yarn a-reelin' while she fairly bolda bar breath. Far my old made-up bear tales they just tickle her to death. Tbe girl that's at our boarding house—th’ the little girl, I mean— Has captured me completely in a way that’s seldom aeen. She snuggles up so close to me when them old stories start, Till purty soon, girl fashion, she has landed in my heart, And when it comes her sleeping time I bate to let her down— Tbe girl that’s at oar boarding-house is sweetest in tb' town. The girl that’s at our boarding house can tell some yarns herself— About that beanstalk giant who was plundered of his-pelf; About poor Cinderllla, who became the Prince’s bride; v About tbe piggie at tbe stile, and Golden Locka, beside. It’s sweet to me as music just to hear her runnin' on Till plump up to her sleepin time —an* then th’ girlie's gone. I wonder if the wee one knows why she's so dear to me; If I were ’way off yonder by a sunny, summer sea. There’d be another girlie just about tbia maiden'* size. With freckled nose and pouting lips and twinkling eyes. Held just as close—but no not yet—nor yet; so she Who’s living at our boarding house is mighty dear to me. —Baltimore American.

GROWTH OF BANANAS AS FOOD.

Rawarfcabte Increase In CMMomptloa of This Toothsome Fralt. “Did you ever stop to think of the enormous sale of bananas in Rensselaer?” said a groceryman to The Democrat scribe the other day. “Fifteen or twenty years ago,” said he, possibly two to three bunches of bananas per week were sold here, and few people liked them. Now there are from eighty to one hundred and fifty bunches sold in Rensselaer every week, and on occasions of large gatherings the amount is probably double that; Bananas cost from 75 cents to $1.50 per bunch, and it is likely that few costing under SI.OO are sold here. This means an annual expenditure of $2,500 to $3,000 (wholesale prices) for bananas alone by Rensselaer dealers. “Probably there has been no such increase in consumption of any other fruit as that of bananas in the past ten to twenty years, and it is steadily on the increase. There are about a score of places in Rensselaer that handle bananas, and the amount that are sold here is astonishing. However, I suppose it is about the same in most other towns. The people that have grown up in the past two decades have acquired, a taste for ‘de ban an’ and there is no telling where it will stop. It is a good, wholesome fruit, though, and one that finds its way to the table of both the rich' and the poor, and it has a great future before it.”

OTHERS ALSO HAVE RIGHTS.

Monticello Herald: The members of the Chicago Antomobile Club have returend to their homes after their tour to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Reports come from all along their route, both going and returning, of accidents caused by horses becoming frightened at their machines and from their reckless running. In many cases when an accident occured they did not stop to ascertain how bad it was but increased their speed and rapidly sped away from unwelcome injury. The average antomobilist seems to think that he owns the earth and that the common mortal has no rights that he is bonnd to respect when on the road with his machine. It is recognized that the automobile as a conveyance is here to stay bnt the ones who rnn them must remember that others have equal rights on the highways.

FOUND GOOD PICKING HERB. The medicine show closed Slturday night after three weeks of “unalloyed success” in Rensselaer. Beveral prizes were given away on the closing night, Miss Fern Starr being awardea the diamond ring aa the moat popular, lady in the city, receiving 2,260 votes, while Mrs. Fred Parolee reoived 1,890 votes and was also given a ring: Dr. Berkley was voted the handsomest man and givena loving cap: Mrs. Caddie Martin was given a silver cup as the handsomest lady; the prettiest baby prize was given to Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Murray’s baby. The company done a good business here and no doubt carried away a grip full of shekels. They went to Lowell from here. Morris’ English Stable Powder Sold by A. V. Lose

THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY.

Can Wo Buy a Library Blto7—A Few Foots Concerning Romo. Neither Council nor Board has any site or ready money to boy one. ¥% On January 10th Mr. Carnqgie offered ten thousand dollars ($lO,000) to build on a suitable site, if procured by the Council. A new law was passed March 9th authorizing the Council to organized a Library Board to procure a site by taxation. The, Board was organized April 13th, and on June loth selected, suitable site. On June 22nd the Council apsroved5 roved said site if paid for. On une 29th the Board reported to Mr. Carnegie and he holds his offer good until August 25th. The deed has been sent for to be delivered or returned August 25, Time will not permit taxation to buy the site unless the offer is extended. The Board has issued an address and asks a subscription. Threefifths of tbe purchase price has been subscribed and if an additional $480.00 is paid before August 25th the building will be erected. The Moss site stands approved by Mr. Carnegie, the Council, the School Trustees, the Directors of the Jasper Library, and this Board. All who have subscribed either books or money also approve said site. If the building is there erected the annual tax need only be 3-5 of a mill in the city. If the site is procured by taxation the levy will be more than twice as much. In the canvas for the whole $480.00 we meet the shadow of the site question in those saddest words: “It might have been different, and I would then give.” It is the doty of every inhabitant without any subterfuge to say whether he wants the Carnegie Library. It is his duty to reduce his wish to dollars and cents and report it to some member of the committee. The Moss site is in sight and do not cite any other site or this will divide the people, on the question of securing the Carnegie gift on or before August 25th, 1903. Please help to raise the $480.00. Each member of the Committee is authorized to solicit and collect any advancement or gift that may be offered. COMMITTEE.

A CIRCUS MANAGER'S TROUBLES.

Some of the Perplexities Annoy Inn the Manager of a Big Modern , Circus. Perhaps if some of the people who are disposed to charge the showmen with avarioe and deceit, oonld have an intimate knowledge of the perplexing things and annoying dreamstances which so often beset the modern circus manager and disturb the even tenor of his mind, they would desist from such accusations. From the beginning to the end of the season, and between seasons, the lot of the circus manager lacks more than one thing of being sweet peace. First he was confronted with a dearth of attractions, it being impossible to secure anything new. This Is not so to-day. There are many extraordinary and almost incredible attractions which mav be procured if the circus man will do as Mr. Wallace, of the Great Wallace Show has done—go after them and pay the high salaries demanded.

The hard time panic spread its desolating wing over the land and shadowed the businesa of Mr. Circns Man. Now, the other welcome extreme prevails, and in the presence of prosperity, as big and immense as are the tenta of the Wallace Show, Mr. Wallace ia annoyed (and who wouldn't be?) by seeing, in almost every city and town which he visits, hundreds and often thousands of people turned away, who are anxious to give their money to him for the privilege of seeing the show. There is a limit to the size a teat can be made, and when whole towns, cities, and, as in the WeAt,\|be people of whole oounties rise np en masse to see the Wallace Show, it wontd be a physical impossibility to provide a sufficiently large tent to accommodate them. Any business man will acknowlege that it is aanoying to be compelled to refuse to take money from people who want to give it to him. v • . / : With a circus of the magnitude of the Wallace Show, expeneee are enormous. A score or more of the Wallace features acts cost from SSOO to SI,OOO per week. The highest salaries, of course are paid for those features, which are original and new, coming for the first time this year from Europe. To these most be added the pay of almost a half thousand employees, many of whom draw liberal salaries. To this big salary list, whloh most be paid rain or shine, and which is less than half of the running expenses of a big three-ring circns like Wallace’s, there moat be addea the board and feed of the ani-

mala, the transportation mad advertising, the equipping and maintaining the vast outfit of the modern circus. When the Wallace Bhow exhibits in Rensselaer, Saturday, July 25th, not one of the thousands will begrudge the money thus spent, for they can readily see that it costs many thousands of dollars weekly to provide as high a class of really new acts as can be found with the Great Wallace Show.
