AM -C FARMER SMILES AND Making glad the heart of the far mer and miserable that of the circus man, copious quantities of rain be gan descending last evening Just as the people were preparing to wend their way to the evening performance of Campbell Brothers' big show. The result was disheartening to the show management and disappointing to the small boy who had not seen the per formance in the afternoon, but it brought delight to the grower of grain and the business man and citizen whoes prosperity Is dependent in a large measure upon that of the tiller of the soil. The circus, while small, was a good, clean exhibition and few who saw ii were disappointed in the pre sentations offereu. The Aerial per formers were probably as good as any ever seen in the city. ' There were some thrillers and some that were just plain but clever performances. Those who went in -the afternoon were more fortunate than those who waited for evening for the reason that while the main tent shed the water very satisfactorily, the menagerie tent leaked like the proverbial sieve and it was almost necessary to carry one's umbrella raised in order to keep dry.

She has spies in the Philippines to keep the gov ernment well informed about Am erican fortifications. She is not pre pared to fight any power now but considers war with this country Inev itable. Completion of the canal will cause the United States to become aggressive, think the Japanese." Injunction Is Dissolved.
