MEN AND WOMEN WHO RIDE.
Daring HOr~emen cnL HarScwO,nen Who GivS .ir.. a Circus
 Performance


 A circus without riding acts wouId be an anomaly. There is no feature of the old-time circus which seems SO es- sential to the completeness of the mod ern arenic exhibition. or which has sc persistently retained it's popularity with the public. The daring equestrian turning somersaults on the back of a swiftly moving horse. and the dainty eque strenne, posing and pirouetting her way into the hearts of the audi : ence. both add immeasurcablv to the effectiveness of the mammoth three ring circus of today. just as they did to the little one-ring circus of d quar- ter of century ago.
 The men and women 0s the circus who ride. have not however. been sat Isfied "to. let well enough alone" They have recognized the public demand for something now. cen ia- the wa.. of equestrianismf and during thr past two or three years many Interesting rid ing novelties havo be,n n-aAe known in this country ani n t,ur"re.

In those counties where there is any opposition to the Democratic nom inees every voter is going to get a package Of the best campaign Ftera ture that we can get out. You see this has never been done before. but we believe that the results are going to show that 1t Is very effective way of campaigning.
 The office force of a dozen young la dies spend each day in making up these mailing packages. directing them and sending them out to the voters of Ala bama.
 Throughout all of yesterday there were prominent visitors coming and going in headquarters. Among the visitors were Hon Thomas c. McClel- Ian. nominee for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Hon. Henry P. Mer- ritt of Tuskegee and Hon. Thomas E. Knight of Greensboro. member of the committee.
 Vice Chairman Fort said yesterday that so far as speaking was concerned the Anal appointments had been made in Marshall and Shelby counties. Af- ter the appointments already made have been filled no moro speakers will be sent to those counties. The committee is very well satisfied with those coun- ties. to which they had directed much of their attention and energy

COSSACKS IN REVENGE
Result of Stamping Out RevoIu-
ti0n With Fearful
Atrocities.

Borjon. TranScaucaSia May 80
When General Alikhanoff, governor
general of Kutaiss, escorted by Cos
sacks was about to take a train for
Tifiis last night, two bombs were
thrown at him and exploded in the
midst of his party. Alikhanoff. a men,
Der of his staff, and several Cossacks
were seriously wounded. The remain
der of the Cossacks fired indiscrimin-
ately into the crowd, killing many per-
sons Cossacks burned buildings in
the vicinity into which the people fled.
Alikhanoff is the most hated man in
the Caucasus.
Avenged Revolution.
For several months last fall the gov
ernment was completely in the hands
of the revolutionists. they being in full
possession of the railroad from the
Black sea to Suram tunnel, which they
had blown up in January. Alikhanoff
dispatched a column of Cossacks who
crossed the mountains and with fire
and sword laid waste the fertile RiOn
valley.
Made Name Remembered.
The general announced at the first
town reached that he proposed to make
the peoples grandchildren, remember
his name His vengeance was horri-
BILE. Hundreds of inhabitants were
slaughtered by soldiers, and others eX-
ecuted. Many men were driven into
the mountains and the women given
over to the Cossacks. Fifty villages
were absolutely wiped out. The atroci-
ties committed attracted the attention
of the whole country and were the
subject of bitter complaints.
Heard from Before.
Alikhanoff is a remarkable charac-
ter His principal reputation is con-
nected with the Russians advance in
Central Asia as his expedition TO Muir
ghab river in 1SS4-5, known as the
"Penjeb" incident, brought Great Bri-
tain and Russia to the verge of war.

NO BUSINESS DONE
IN THE CONVENTION
Democrats of Tennessee Adjourn Only
After a Truce is Patched
Up.

Nashville. Tenn, May 30.-t1St
fights, boots and cheers, a presiding of
ficer who refused to be deposed and
attempted to conduct proceedings with
his opponent and pandemonium gen.
orally, made necessary the adjourn
ment last evening of the state demo-
cratic convention with nothing accom-
plished. At 6:10 O'Clock in the even
ing, after a day of turmoil, truce
was declared. The convention, which
is the largest in the history of Ten
nessee democracy. adjourned until 10
o'clock this morning without even hav-
ing effected temporary organization.
From the beginning policemen were
needed, and plenty of them. 1t was de-
cidedly the most turbulent convention
that ever assembled in Tennessee. 1t
was with the utmost difficulty that any
sort of record of the proceedings could
be made.
Adjournment was reached after an
understanding was had between the
leaders of the opposing factions that
the three gubernatorial candidates,
Governor John 1. Cox. Congressman
Malcolm r. Patterson, and Judge John
R. Bond, each name four representa-
tives. who shall constitute a commit
tee to decide on temporary chairman.
Before this agreement was effected
the battle over contested delegations
occupied the entire time of the con-
vention. Many counties were con-
tested.

house hardly can refuse to pass il. II
was far from the intention of the re-
publican leaders TO let the bill ger
place on the calendar at this session.
For weeks the committee on labor

perfunctory character and have drag

The S-hour bill applies to all work in
which the federal government is inter

supervision of the government itself
or by contract with private firms. IL
therefore affects not only work on pub.
lie buildings and the like. but the con-
struction of vessels in shipyards
throughout the country, and it Is from
the latter class of industry that much
of the opposition to the measure has
pmanated
