A GREAT CIRCUS MONDAY.
The Wallace Show Gives All It Ad-
 vertises. =....-

The Wallace Show. which is to ex- hibit in Montgomery Monday, has cer- tainly received the hearty endorsement of the press of the cities where it has recently exhibited. A few days ago it visited Columbia, s. C. The State. the leading newspaper of that section, en- dorses Wallaces Show as the one show that gives all it advertises."
 From it's lengthy and favorable notice of the show, the following extracts are taken:
 The great Wallace Shows were in Co., lumbia yesterday and gave a street pa rade and two high class performances. They were witnessed by thousands of people, many of whom came from distance to Be this circus which has made such fine reputation for itself in these parts on the occasion of previous visits Those who saw the performance of this year pronounced 1t superior to those of the last few years. and they Were right. The show given this year is worth few hours of the time of an. man or woman. It is thoroughly clean. highly entertaining and altogether at traCtive.
 The most impressive features of this show may be briefly referred to. In the 1 first place the stock is not only plentiful but it is perfectly safe to assert that no show travelino has animals In any better condition. or indeed any finer horsetlesh | Then the performers are one and all | high class, indeed MT Wallace has sue ceeded in getting people who have no su- l periors in their respective lines in the entire country. The Nelson family of ac- robatS the Stirk family of biCVclsts the famous tramp bicyclist and all the other notables who are familiar to circus gOers are with the show Such people cost money, but MT. Wallace evidently does not mind that. Another striking feature of the circus is the number of young people with the show this is particularly true of the women performers. They are all young and fresh looking. The per formers, both male and female. are per- haDS the most businessiike and best be- haVed crowd that ever came to Columbia. The mena geries Is another feature. In the dens are found many rare wild ani- mals. The specimens of the Bengal ti- ger the lion. the zebra and the hippOpo- tamus are as good as any ever seen here. As to the animals as q whole it must be said that each specimen Is in splendid condition. Something that greatly pleas ed the little ones was MT. Wallace's fine children menagerie." This is something new in the circus business. the cages being small and containing the smaller animals such as monkeys, birds, etc.

A Ring of Rats.

An extraordinary nest of rats was re- gently discovered at the bottom of an old well in Courtalain, a hamlet in France the peculiar feature about the animals being that seven of them were joined together by their tails in such a manner thNJ it was impossible for them to free themselves. The tips of the tails were knotted together and formed a center from which the bodies radiated attracting much attention. A ring of rats composed of twenty-seven animals is preserved at Altcnbourg. and other specimens have been discovered at Bonn Frankfurt, Erfurth and Lindenau, near Leipsic. and two rings" were found near Gotha in December 1892, one con- sisting of twenty-eight and the other of fourteen animals.

TUESDAY, OCT. 29. (one Night only.)
 MT. R. D. MacLean

The play of Coriolanus. fin which Mir. MacLean and Miss Tyler vii appear at the Montgomery Theatre Tuesday night, has so seldom been seen upon the Ameri- can stage that it Is practically a novelty to the majority of theatre-goers.
 Coriolanus may be considered an em- phatic success from every point of view. MT. MacLear makes the character at once sympathetic and dignihed by his manly interpretation. Mrs Tyler's Vir- gilia is the embodiment of womanly ten derness and wifely devotion.
 The performance of Coriolanus by MT. MacLean. Miss Tyler and their company cannot fail to be an interesting one. Seat sale opens this morning. adv.

The social feature of the football game between Auburn and Vanderbilt today is assured and probably the taste rsed in the selection of the four beautiful sponsors of the two teams has had much to do with it.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
Unsuccessful Effort to Prohibit Bull Fight-Circus License
 Fixed.

There YVES special meeting of the City Council last night, called to consld 'f an ordinance in regard to the proposed ouii fight to be given during the Festival and the license to the circus company to be here next week. There were twelve mem hers present.
 R. M. Harvey. a representative or lhc Wallace show appeared before the Cou2- cil and asked that the Clerk be author ized to issue license at the nglIres formerly agreed upon, the Council nav ing in the meantime made the amount of the licenses for circuses or like eXhlol- tions three times as great. The request was refused and 1t was held that the ad- vance license would have to be pald.
 Alderman Hudson presented an ordl- nance to prohibit the exhibition or the bull fight and moved a suspension or the rules. to which Alderman May ooJected and the ordinance went over 10 next regular meeting. .4...
 It was learned that the Clty A.torney held that the exhibition came under the circus ordinance, as if was periolIi,l- III ance of that nature. and if any one oD- iected the bull fight would nave t9 pay the same license as circus IL IS thought that if objection is made ana lh- sisted on, that it will be prohibitive.
 Remember we are ready for the Fair with d full stock Of everything you wish. Give us your orders and be pleased.

CONTEMPLATING DUTIES


Upon Russian Sugar VIII Prove Dis
astrous to American Export Trade
to That Country.
WASHINGTON, February 13.-The
State department and the Treasury de-
partment are being deluged with tele-
grams from vast business interests,
protesting against the imposition of
the countervailing duty on sugar i'm
ported from Prussia Nearly all of the
correspondents urge that such action
on the part of the United States will
prove ruinous to our export trade with
Russia
Russia has given notice that it must
impose the maximum tariff rates upon
American exports to Russia. We are
now enjoying the maximum rate, and
in very many cases the maximum
would be absolutely prohibitive on
American exports to Russia.

PARK ERSRITRG w Va February 1

Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, February 10.
Developments to-day indicate that Park
ersbug may yet secure recount of Its
population by the census bureau. which
the Board Of Trade has been working so
long TO accomplish. A telegram was re-
ceived this afternoon from v. b. Archer.
who went to Washington last night to
represent the Board of Trade and the city,
stating that Judge Cole of the supreme
court of the District of Columbia, had
granted an injunction to prohibit Direct
or of the Census Merriman from promui-
eating the population of Parkersburg as
it now stands, and had issued rule re-
quring Merriman TO appear and show
cause why he should not direct a new CEN
sus to be taken of the people in Parkers-
burg. The rule is returnable March 20.
This action was taken on evidence fur
nished by the Board of Trade, which has
had a complete enumeration of the people
of the city taken and found that the gov
eminent enumerators had omitted 1888
persons who are residents OF the city.
The actual population as shown by the
local census is 1904 instead of 11,7e3 as
given out by the census bureau.
