GREATER NORRIS & ROWE GIRGUS 1S HERE TODAY Is Clean, Well-(:onfiucled Show, and Performance One of Best Ever Seen Here. The greator Norris & Rowe circus arrived in Bemidji at an early hour this morning from Grand Rapids, where they played yesterday to an enormous crowd of pleased and sur- prised people. Word comes from the ‘ ‘Rapids” that the Norris - & Rowe circus is one of the cleanest and best shows that has ever visited northern Minnesota. Although this was the first visit of this circus to Grand Rapids their reputation had preceded them as being clean, square-dealing people and they entirely justified their reputation by their performance and behavior there yesterday. The juvenile element of the city are happy today. Thisis the day of days nearest the hearts of the youngsters, and furnishes papa and mama an alibi for being present at the circus. For some reason or other a man is loath to admit that he is interested in the advent of the great American amusement. When a2 man or woman becomes so blase that they fail to receive a thrill at the announcement, “hold your horses, the elephants are com- ing,” when the circus bands fail to excite the eagerness of childhood, a specialist should be consulted to look after ones’ digestion. The circus is ever fascinating. The fair lady equestrinnes, the daring arialists, the funny clowns excitement of the whole affair make remembered. Norris & Rowe have a genuinely good show, from the side shoe, through the menagerie to the big crowning program that they are presenting. Their program us made up of some of the best circus talent ever. seen in this city with any show. There are some daring bareback riders, hair-raising ariel acts, trained elephants ahd other trained animalsy| acrobats, actstoo numerous to mention, to- gether with a bunch of funns clowns to provoke screams of laughter. The big tents weré crowded this afternoon and those who did not see the circus this afternoon should certainly not miss 1t tonight. It is good and infact, equals many circusés that have appeared.

Scores were carried down ladders from the blazing building by firemer and wild scenes of panic ensued as the scantily clad tenants rushed to the street. The dead all were the children of V. Sausto, janiter of the house, aged from e months to ten years. Frank Sausto, son of the jan- itor, is dying from burns and Sausto and his wife are both suffering from severe burns,about the face body. As he leaped from a second story window to escape thie flames Salva- tore Logeferni had his r t bip dis- located and several other vere more or less se; injured either by burns or from contusions or lacera- tions caused by leaping from windows. By the time the fire was discovered the flames nad spread through the first floor hallway and had seized on & the stairs, cutting off escape. There were 150 persons in the building. When the firemen arrived ladders ‘were rushed up the sides of the build- ing and thirty persons were rescued | by means of them. Many would not wait for the ladders and, crazed with fear, leaped to the-street below, re- cefving injuries more or less severe. After hard work the firemen finally got the blaze under control. The police declare the fire was un- doubtedly of incendiary origin. WANIS - ONE CENT A WORD. HELP WANTED. WANTED FOR U. 5.

Boston, Aug. 11.—The fifty-fourth annual convention of the International Typographical union and the seventh annual convention of the International Stereotypers and Electrotypers’ un- jons of North America began here. The Mailers’ Trades District union, a +ubordinate organization, and the Wo- man’s Auxiliary of the International Typographical union also convened. The report of President James M. Lynch said in part: “The work of the year has been mainly along the lines of effort at reclamation of those offices that were lost, temporarily at least, during the eight-hour campaign. * The member- ship today is but a trifie less than at the time the eight-hour difficulty oc- curred, when it Was about forty-seven thousand. Today the membership is about forty-six thousand. The reclama- tion work referred to will be contin- ued during the coming year. We can never bring about a 100 per cent un- jon. Thousands and thousands of ptinters ‘are employed in towns and hamlets who have no. opportunity or occasion to join a union. It may be that the extension of our benefit fea- tures will secure a percentage of these isolated artisans.” According to the report of Secre- tary Treasurer J. W. Bramwood of Indianapolis the regular funds of the union amounted to a total of $198,310. Session at Naval Officers Banquetted. Auckland,.N.
