 Springfield. O., April 3.--A mob sim- liar to one which year ago lynched the negro Dixon and burned the levee, Is congregating with the avowed pur- pose of burning a resort run by Joseph Kempler. Nearly a dozen arrests of suspicious acting persons have been made by detectives.
 The square in which KempIer's place is being patrolled by police
 At II o'clock tonight the front and rear of the saloon are closely guarded by police as are the other entrancest Every street corner in the vicinity is filled by a crowd awaiting the appear ance of a mob to burn the saloon. Nearly dozen arrests have been made on safe-keeping charges. and at II o'clock the police are confident that they have complete control of the situ- ation. The report that two large crowds from the West End are now congregating in uptown saloons with the avowed purpose of setting fire to the saloon serves to keep the crowds as near the place as the police will per- init. The movement at this time Is presumed to be almost identical with that of a year ago, although the police are now better prepared to prevent a disturbance.

The little general with characteristic nervous ness was rushing up to greet Mir. Roosevelt when two secret service men grabbed him and lifted him into the air.

CROWDS SEE THE
GASKILL SHOWS
BABcock LoOPED THE GAP LAST
NIGHT AND FELTON, MADE SEN
sATioNAL HIGH DIVE-coUN-
TRY STORE BOOMING.

It looks as if the charity carnival has
started in for one of the NEST successful
holiday weeks m the city's history. The
Birmingham people see to have the
carnival fever to judge from the crowds
that passed through the entrance last
night and so completely filled the grounds
The most remarkable feature Of the
average carnival crowd is its extreme
good nature. The people are out for fun
ana no one allows anything to mar the
pleasure.
Much has been said and written about
the Gasxill shows, but visit to the differ
ent attractions soon makes it apparent
why this aggregation has had so many
seasons of Uninterrupted success Never
has Birmingham seen better lot OF
shows, from the smallest show on the
esp,anade up to the big stadium nor has
it ever seen a group of shows with any
similar organization which has attained
to a higher moral plain. There Is nothing
about the different attractions which Is
not wholesome and clean. There is no
where a single feature to offend the most
fastdious.
1t was another case of sell OUT at
the Country Store last night Never in
the history of countr.' stores here has
such an establishment done a greater
business. The result is that the chair
man. Mrs. C. C. Fleming, vas in a most
happy frame of min last evening, and
said she had no doubt the store would
make a new record this season. Mrs.
J. G. Whitfield was in charge last night
and was assisted By Mrs. Welsh and
Mrs Poole.
The two big feature acts were pulled off
successfully last night. FELTON, made his
dive from a slzy-scraping tower 105 feet
In the air into a tank of water four feet
deep. Babcock the dare devil loop rider.
made his first appearance in nearly two
weeks. This was his first attempt at
his dangerous act since he fell in Au-
gusta, where he was in the city hospital
for ten days. Babcock's act Is different
from the ordinary loop-the-lop act ana
must be seen to be appreciated. This act
seems to have reached the limit Of sem
sationalism, the whole apparatus Is raised
from the ground and when he is shot
through the death trap he goes through
space some thirty feet landing on a
platform built away from the loop.
The stadium was packed last night and
standing room was at a premium.
