! JOY TO THE KIDSs j CIRCUS HITS TOWN i" , - ... i Colonel Cummins, Cowboys and Indians Play Under 1 North End Tent. i : For the next week young Richmond ' will be swinging lassos over everything from the pet cat to the Btone hltching-post, and tribes of Indians will stalk the city streets and alleys. Why? Because Young Buffalo Bill's Wild ; West show was in the city today. The real Indians and cowboys which Col. Cummins brought with him in their performancea this afternoon and tonight will furnish enough inspiration to keep ' boys playing war games for many ! days. Early this morning the show, loaded on twenty-nine cars, carrying five hun- ' dred people, 225 horses and other para- ' phernalia. arrived from Winchester, ) where large crowds witnessed the two performances. The parade this morning was led by Col. Cummins and Young Buffalo on their spirited mounts. The colonel, with flowing mustache, wearing a . broad sombrero, leather chaps and adorned with numerous gold medals, is the typical cowboy of the western plains, which type is fast disappearing. Etta Meyers, Stokes and Meechy do dare-dwl riding stunts, while McCoy denionOtes his marvelous use of the lariat, ileal Indian braves, squaws with papooses on their backs, thrill with the weird music and fantastic steps of the war and jungle dances. The doors for the evening performance will be open at 7 o'clock with the show beginning an hour later.

PASS ROCKER BILL

WASHINGTON, July 9. The Rucker bill to amend and codify existing laws relating to the publicity of campaign contributions, was passed by the house today by a vote of 103 to 19. Those opposing the bill were southern Democrats, who objected to extending the publicity law to primaries as well as general elections, their contention being that this was federal interference with local primaries.

PURCHASE PLOWS FOR GARDENERS Two plows were purchased by John McCarthy of the Commercial club, to be given to the summer gardeners of the city who are working in Mrs. H. L. Monarch's garden system. The plows will be turned over at once so the gardeners can cultivate their crops with them. Both are hand plows purchased by a fund made up among members of the Commercial club.

COL. R. M. THOMPSON. Col. R. M. Thompson, president of the American Olympic Committee, re

turned from Paris, July 3, on tne Mauretania. He was a delegate to the congress which sat in Pari3 from June 13 to 23 to arrange rules for the Olympiad next year in Berlin. The changing of the rules was a delicate matter but Col. Thompson said it was accomplished without a hitch. "International rules have been established," said Col. Thompson, "and new sports provided for the Olympiad. For this reason there will be two meets, the first in February, which will give an opening for skating and skleing and other winter sports. Rugby football will be a new feature in the latter games

TRACTION OFFICER FAILS TO COME . No word has been received from Eu: gene Purtelle, Chicago traction promoter, who notified the Commercial club a week ago that he would be in Richmond the first of this week. Mr. Purtelle was expected Tuesday. It is believed he has deferred his visit until next week.

As a result of improved methods, seams of coal have been worked in Britain at a depth of three thousand feet, and in one mine in Lancashire 3,700 feet, which means a natural temperature of over 90.

Philadelphia uses and accurate testing plant, carried on an automobile, to ascertain whether its various forms of I street lights are maintained at con- : tract standard.

K, OF C WILL PICNIC

Arrangements for the annual picnic of the Knights of Columbus to be held at Jackson park are being made by

Arnold Pfeiffer and the committee of

which he is chairman. The date has been set for August 12. No program has been prepared, although contests and erames of all kinds will feature the event. One of the chief sources of amusement will be a ball game which will be arranged between the thin and the fat men. Many members and their families are expected.

TERRE HAUTE MAYOR MUST FACE JUDGE

TERRE HAUTE, July 9. Mayor

Donn Roberts, was today notiled to appear in federal court tomorrow on the charge of contempt of court. He interfered with W. H. Ijams, named as officer by federal judge Anderson in a dispute between the city and paper mill company. Mr. Ijams ordered a gang of men to clean sewers which have been choked by waste from the mill and Mayor Roberts stopped the work.

and and the Civil war soldiers of

Wayne county probably will be brought before the Sons of Veterans at the meeting Monday night by Lawrence Handley, the originator of the idea as it now stands. Mr. Handley is enthusiastic over this means of beautifying the city and at the same time adding monuments of commemoration for men or historical occurrences. He and Alfred Bavis, president of the board of works, have a plan for a new park entrance to Glen Miller park. This could be realized only in case some one is willing to erect a memorial fountain as the center of the scheme. The plan is to cut the road at Twenty-second and Main streets directly into the intersection of the northeast corner. The road would proceed for only a few yards at that angle and then resume its present course. Then on each side of the new entrance would be erected a column of some kind, or if desired, a closed arch. Directly in from the columns the desired fountain in the center of a cement circle surrounded by benches and flower boxes, would be built. From this cement or rolled gravel walks would go in various directions through the park. The fountain would be only a few rods from Main street on a gentle rise of ground. The entire decorative scheme could be plainly seen from the street. It is probable that the city would pay for the work except that of installing a fountain. Mr. Handley and Mr. Bavis have discussed he idea and both are enthusiastic over it.

COURTS IN SHAPE. FOUNTAIN CITY The young people were granted permission by the town board, atfer they had presented a petition, to use the tennis courts, on condition that they be kept in good shape and that there be no playing on Sunday.

Mrs. Kolp Likes Dancing Better Than House Work

"Dancing in vaudeville is much better than dusting furniture and washing dishes," says Mrs. Gertrude Kolp, formerly of this city, who with her daughter, Elizabeth Kolp and Peter Lichtenfels is putting on a dancing act in the leading vaudeville circuits of the country. Last week they played at Cleveland and are now playing at Toronto, Canada. Next week they go to New York City. In a feature article in a recent issue of one of the leading newspapers of Cleveland, there is a long account of the activities of the "Dancing Mars" as the Kolps call themselves. "Several months ago," Mrs. Kolp continues, "I put away the household furniture on the third floor of our houee at Richmond, Ind., for I and the children evolved what we thought was a great act. I had the idea that coslumes meant everything in dancing I learned that what counts most in stage dancing is dancing. Well, I wasn't rich, but I put a lot of money Into some stunning gowns and such things. What happened but this in three weeks the act was dead." Just "All For a Kiss." "Somebody called the dance 'All for a Kiss.' I don't know why. That isn't what it is but for the life of me, I couldn't give you a better name. It's ; just a dance, that's all we aim. It's as good a name as any. The story continues "The act could be called John Smith, Peruvian bark or the Georgia bay, or anything else. : Its easy to understand where the Mars learned to dance but where they got their idea of scenic effects is harder : to guess." . "Everybody has been so good to us," , Mrs. Kolp continues. "We don't do everything wonderful," she added "It ; was done over and over again in Rich1 mond, Ind. The audiences seem to like us when we do a triple waltz. Why, I used to do It every day with my classes, just get a bunch with me, the kids t and me altogether, and they could get the idea in a few minutes. We do no ! difficult steps."

But No Dusting. I like vaudveille? Certainly. Do to keep house and entertain?

i Most assuredly. But I can't do both. , Right now I'm doing vaudeville so I enjoy It. When petty vexation arises, ! I say to myself 'Any way, its better right now than dusting furniture. I Once in a while I hear some one complaining, and I tell them that same thing 'You don't have to dust today.' "Now .can you conquer a spirit like that," the story continues. "Gertrude Mars and her family have gone into vaudeville and are making good, hugjonc no illusions, keeping clean and

fine on the stage, with a thousand people looking at them as they were in Richmond and laughing gaily together at the troubles they have but won't talk about. "I have found vaudeville so different from everything I have come to think about," Mrs. Kolp narrated. "We have a delightful time of it, Bobbie, and Beth and me. It's all just a matter of work, and the other workers are just as good as can be. The stage isn't much different than an office, so far as the character of the people are concerned. We all do the best we can in the lines of work we've chosen. I have never seen the children dance from the footlights. Personally, I never even see the audience. I think they are good dancers, but I haven't the theatre perspective as yet. I didn't know what a proscenium was for a long time. Up to two years ago, I had never seen a copy of "Variety." Many vaudevillians sleep with 'Variety' under their pillows."

Attention Notify the mayor, the police, the board of public works, the street commissioner, the fire department and the market master, or any of your kin that need glasses, the best to be found, including Kryptoks, can be purchased at Number Ten North Ninth street. Edmunds Optometrist.

CHURCH CANVASS DECLARED SUCCESS The personal canvass of every member of the St. Paul's Lutheran church and Sunday school, has been a success, according to Rev. Conrad Huber. The first canvass has been completed and as a result the attendance at both the church and Sunday school have been materially increased. George Bartel, superintendent of the Sunday school, was head of the canvass. The canvass wa3 conducted by about fifty members of the church, who visited the various homes in the congregation.

County treasurer Guillian of Auburn, Neb., received a request from a maywood man for a statement of his personal taxes for 1883, because his conscience was troubling him.
