They, can always play a return date, and be welcomed with open arms by almost the entire population In towns they condescend to favor wltb a return visit. The Bells-Kioto aggregation, as It goes out next March from Denver, enlarged In Its various de- partments, will no doubt be looked for, and watched with great Interest by the entire amuse- ment world. s ' .

When a street car collided with a circus wagon, at midnight, In Lolpslg, Saxony, Oct 2ft, It liber- ated one tiger and eight lions, and Leipzig was In an uproar until daylight. The woman trainer of the animals succeeded in recapturing the tiger, but the lions had a merry time until the police killed six and roped two. Two of the animals leaped through the plate glass front of the Blucher Hotel and held high carnival In the corridors all night. The hotel was crowded with guests who had attended the military centennial celebration Oct. 18, and screaming with terror they barricaded themselves In their rooms and distracted the clerks with calls for help. The police reserves, the fire department ana the troops quartered without the town were called on to capture the lions and restore order. A tblck fog added to the terror of the nlgbt, and the whole city was In a panic. s WHERE IS AOKERMANf Anyone knowing the address of Frank Acker- man, formerly of Otis, Ind., who, for several years waB connected with Barnum's Circus, would confer a favor by writing to Hughes and Logan, care of Nsw York Olippbb, Mr. Ackermon's broieer Is very 111 and not expected to live, and wishes to bear from him. - s ' CARP'S BODY UNCLAIMED.
