Ever since the days OF the one-tent one

in town has been the signal for redoubled
vigilance on the part Of the police force;
for no matter whether the show" is large
or small, it is bound to have its train of
gamblers swindlers, pickpockets and petty
thieves. There is no better opportunity for
graft OF any kind than that found IN the
crowds which flock to the big tops" Of the
average travelling shows and conse-
quently. although in the present day the
more reputable companies maintain private
police forces of their own, they are prac-
ticaly powerless outside of the larger

Nowadays the tendency among circuses,

for consolidation. a tendency which effects

DIES MONIES July -(specialJ- nder
date OF July ?, r. II. Spence Of Mount Ayr
chairman Of the republican state central
committee, sent out the following letter
to the members Of the committee:
1t has been suggested and pretty streuu-
ouslv urged that in view OF the near APP
proach Of the state convention and the
number of contests over seats therein, the
republican state central committee SHOULD
hold a meeting in the near future to de-
termine what steps, II any, the committee
should take looking to settlement or
these contests, and the making Of tenn
porary or provisional roll for the conVen-
ton. I am today writing TO each mem
Der OF the committee and II majority
! OF the members signify desire Tor sun SUI,
a meeting l will call it for Tuesday, July
10 at 10 a. m. at the Savery hotel, and
II such meeting is held your personal ~
Please let me know at once IL you desire
such meeting called.
The question OF the state central COM
mittee deciding on the contested counties
has been much discussed for some weeks,
and opinion conflicts as to the authority
OF the committee to make provisional
roll call. Interviews given out by Con-
gresham Hall. Secretary Wilson and 9TH
ers shows that factional lines are not
drawn strictly in the question. An EFFORT
was made today by telegraph and telc-
phone to ascertain whether or not ma
vote for calling the meeting for that pur-
! pose. The answers received are not de-
! cisive. Chairman Spence indicates that The
! meeting of the committee Will be called
I only n a majority favor calling II for the
/ purpose of making a provisional roll call.
c. j. Wilson of the First district, over
| the long distance telephone, said today: Il
am not ready to say that believe the COM
| mittee has authority to make provisional
| roll call. and am not ready to say whether
! OF not will favor a meeting OF the COM
mittee" MIR. Epps Of the Sixth district
has replied to Mr. Spence that II a meeting
Is called he will attend. but sees no reason
| for wanting meeting. Mr.. Estabrook of
| the Fifth district has not answered Mr..
{ Spence but says he sees no reason for
| holding a meeting now. Scott Of the
! Eleventh district said today: 81 do not
! believe the committee has jurisdiction over
the subject II there is no. other business
I 10 transact, 7 see no reason for the COM
nittee converting" Mccoy OF the Second
! district has given a noncommittal answer
that he will attend II the meeting is called
Stevens of the Third district said today
that he favored the meeting of the commit
tee for the purpose stated in Spence's let
ter. These are all the members of the
( state committee that could be reached to-
! day from this place. There are clever
members OF thel committee As the letteI
from Spence was mailed Monday, II vii

The "RnEorbnclsn."

Naturally, circus "hangers-on' may be
divided into many different classes and
ranks, each of which keeps to itself and
requires the others to do likewise. To
begin at the bottom, take the plain. or
binary razor backs" or canvasmen. They
are hardly criminals, principally because
they have not the requisite amount Of
brains but they are a rough, drunken.
FOSTERING lot, doing the hardest, meanest
work imaginable. and leading a dogs life.
There are a couple of hundred of them
with the average circus, but they sell
dom stick to one job long Theirs is a
rowing, restless disposition, and then, too.
no man can stand the life they lead for
many weeks at a stretch. theoretically, a
"razor-back" is supposed to get a fair
amount OF sleep. Actually, he gets next
to none at all. AS soon as the long train
pulls into town in the gray of the early
morning, the razor back" tumbles out of
his bunk, II he is lucky enough to hav,
one. and sets 70 work to rig up the huge
tops" which he had demolished only a
few hours before. AS soon as the canvas
is up there are other duties to be done,
such as feeding the animals and the like,
and by the time the performance begins
he is quite ready to take the rest that is
justly his.
But before the "razor-back" has got one
eye we'll shut, the voice of the boss can
vasman bellows. Guy ropes, boys guy
ropes" and, YEARLY rubbing the sleep
from his eyes. he jumps up to pull blndly
on rope with a half-score of others a
tired as himself, for the call means that
there is a reef in one of the tents, and reefs
are too dangerous to be ignored. So, while
