A CIRCUS Ro BED.
Forepauah & Sells Brothers Sustain
Loss Of Thousands.

While enroute on fat car between
G!eenSil;e and Tarboro, N. c., early
Sa u a. morning the ticket wagon
Of the Forepaagh au6 S>us Brothers
circus was entered and robbed of $780,
900.
The entrance to the wagon was ef.
tected by the use OF the regular KEYS. :
which had be en- stolen from the treas
urer # the circus. The robbery was
not discovered until after the entire
circus. which was travelling In three
sections over the Atlantic Coast Line,
had reached Tarboro. The ticket
g)n was on the second section and
arrived at Tarboso at o'clock Satur-
day morning. The first section
reached there malt hour earlier and
the third at three o'clock in the morn
ing.
1t was ocie OK before the ROBBERY
had been discovered, and from that;
tina until late Saturd-y, when the Ia E.
report was received IN Norfolk By.
telephone, a continuous search OF the.
effects Of people connected with the
circus has been in progress. The 20:
lice are holding a man and wonau,.
both performers, on suspicion of haF-5
Ing committed the robbery. Il has
been impossible so far to secure the
names Of these two people.
Several theories are Lels by the pc:
lice and circus p oole. Oae OF these
is that the ROBBERY was Committed
while the t. in WIS IN molten and
that the money was thrown of the
train. Searching parties are at work
along the line tw en- Tarboro and.
Greenville in an Effort to fnd any
trace Ct tne money or o. any person
who might have Lett the TIA n with it,
Up to th time no one has been miss:
ed from the circus GO 76.
Another theory is that the cash his
been hidden In Ia bJro by the rob:
b rs, and innu ner rable search war
rants have ben swora out. Armed.
with these, the r gular police and
special detect:v, s ere searching every
place in Tarooro thought likely to-
conceal the money. There we're a
score of arrests made during the day
among the Cir Vi people. All appre.
nended were taken into custody on;
suspicion, and while in the town locked
up their belongings were searched at
the STOW grounos. Absolutely no
trace Of the money has been found. ~

NOT THE LABOR VOTE ALONE.

the labor vote is wholly responsible
for his election, and he points out
that while his vote in the textile
cities, such as Fall River, was very
large. it was equally large in the
farming districts in purely residential
sections, and throughout Boston,
which he carried by 20, 600.
1t was a general vote that elected

ing men, farmers, BUSINESS men, law
yers and all classes. It was due to
the fact that l stood for a genuine
issue.

free from fault finding. I believe that
in our national campaign il would
have been much better If We had not
found SO much fault. In my speeches

Gov. Bates OF President Roosevelt. !
did not mention dead issue. Istood
out upon the affirmative proposition
Of demand for reciprocity and the
removal OF protection from trusts. and
without attacking the OGnel Sloe COZ
tinually pointed to this issue as someth-

nearest the popular heart-whether
the people are to continue paying mil
lions to the trusts.
1.-THE situation which brought such
q surprising response in Massachusetts,
vas not local to Massachusetts,. The
issue was just as good in Connecticut,
just as good in New jersey. 1t was
just as good in q farming as il a
manufacturing State. It was an issue
upon which I believe the American
people are better prepared today than
in any previous campaign to respond
to. The demonstration Of popular
sentiment here has been such that
the Republican party has begun to see
that it cannot ignore it. It's leaders
here, some OF them, are beginning to

STUPIDITY OF SHEEP.
The Way These ExasperatfngIv
Foolish Animals Court Death.


\ sheep herder gives some of his ex-
pcricnce in handling sheep on the west
ern ranges in the following:
We have to watch them every MIN
ute, and il vigilance is relaxed for an
instant the entire flock is likely to COM
NIT suicide. In handling most animals
some degree of self help or intelligence
can be relied on to aid the owner in
saving their lives, but sheep seem to
set deliberately to work to kill them
selves.
II caught in q storm on the plains,
they will drift before the wind and die
of cold and exposure rather than move
100 yards 70 windward to obtain shell
Ter in their corral To drive sheep
against the wind is absolutely impos-
sble. | once lost over 900 head be-
cause | could not drive them to cor
raj 200 feet away.
In the corral they are still more fool
isll. II q storm comes up. they all
move down Wind until stopped by
the fence. Then commences the pro-
cceling SO much dreaded by sheepmen,
known as ''piling.' The sheep will
climb over one another's backs until
they are heaped up ten feet high. OF
course all those ON the bottom are
smotlered. Not one has sense enough
to seek shelter under the lee of the
fence, as a horse or dog would do.
Again, if a sheep gets into quick
sand its fate teaches nothing to those
that come Immediately after, but the
whole flock will follow the leader to
destruction. No more eXasperatingly
stupid animal than sheep walks.
