Baffles Attracts Hundreds Sunday Afternoon. ' , East St Johns was visited by hun dreds of people Sunday, the great ma- " Jorlty being attracted by the mysterious Mr. Raffles, who was scheduled to visit the tract between 1 and i o clock. A Viewed by thousands of people gath ered along the sidewalks and roofs of buildings, the Sells-Floto circus parade wound its' serpentine way over the city this morning. Everyone seemed out: the sidewalks were choked with men and women in every walk of life, with the small fry edged In at every corner. Though typical of the circus the pa rade waa longer and more extravagant than any seen In Portland for years. Perhaps the horses won more admira tion from the crowd. Scores of animals of the most magnificent build and ap pearance drew the chariots ana gutter Ins wagans. But the calliope I Everyone, from the small boy with a scab on his knee to the banker wno can enp out to me grounds In his dogcart loves a calliope. Multitudes are the wonders of the cir cus parade. Not to speak further of the calliope, thwre were' the dazzling bespangled riders, handaome women and swarthy Cossacks; the great cage on wheels wherein roared lions and tigers and other African beasts: the elephants and camels, to whom a Portland Sunday made no difference In fact, every kind of an animal that anyone ever heard cf or dreamed of in the midst of the wildest nightmare. Tho Sells-Floto circus ' will be In Portland two days. Performances will be given in the afternoon and even ing of both today and Tuesday at Twenty-fifth and Vaughn atreota. The latest estimate of the population of the world placed the figures at 1, 467,000,000, an average of about SI In habitants per square mile.

NEGRO AT BAY KILLS HIMSELF John Beam Had Hurdered ". Mrs. 3Iaud Dilts and Faced Lynching. (UolUd Press tessed WlrO ' Lima, Ohio, May 24. John Beam, a negro, accused of shooting and killing Mrs. Maud 'Dilts, a handsome White widow 16 years of age, was tracked by bloodhounds to his hiding rt)lace under a barn early today and committed sui cide to prevent his capture by a posse. No motive for tho shooting of Mrs, Dilts has been found by the police. Friends of both principals of the trag edy scout the theory that the negro was infatuated with the pretty widow. According to the statement of the po lice. Beam went to the horns of Mrs. Dilts last night and rorced his way into the house, firing- five shots Into the body of Mrs. Dilts, who attempted to bar tho door against him. After the woman was removed to a hospital, where she died, a posse was organised and started In. pursuit of the negro. Hounds followed film all night and finally found him under a " barn. Fearing that he would be lynched the negro fired three bullets Into his head, inflicting mortal wounds. Beam was under Indictment for con spiracy In connection with the recent robbery of the home of James Yoakum, when $6000 was stolen. One theory as to the motive of the killing of Mrs. Dtyts Is that she was an Important witness against htm when his case was considered by the grand jury.
