The Power of the Valley States

The Springfield, (Mass.) Repub-
Iican, after briefly reviewing the
numerous waterways projects incu-
batting throughout the Middle West,
offers this significant comment:
THE States concerned in the
improvement of all the important
natural waterways of the basin OF
the Mississippi river are formidable
in number and political power, en-
bracing North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Hi
nois, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi,
Arkansas and Louisiana Com
bined, they will secure some time
what they demand. -
The Massachusetts newspaper,
published in section which may
naturally be expected to oppose
Western waterways improvement,
if any section will oppose it, does
not fall into the error Of underesti-
mating the strength of the support.
All the States enumerated above
are directly and vitally interested
in waterways development. Com
bined, as the Republican suggests,
they will sometime secure what
they demand. Split into quarrel
some sections, each demanding a
Federal sop for its own particular
scheme and deriding all the others,
the development of an adequate
system of inland waterways will be
as far from realization ten years
hence as it is to-day.
The foes of the Western water
ways realize this and viii do all in
their power TO foment dissension
and pickering among the Valley
States. Some of the waterways ad-
vocates have already shown ten
dency to play into the hands OF
their enemies, by fighting all other
improvement projects in the fatuous
belief that this course is necessary
to the advancement of their own.
Such policy may result in the ap-
preparation of a few thousands for
this scheme. few thousand fos
that, totaling a few millions to be

There has been a great deal Of
talk concerning an effort Of the
Republican party would make TO
the admission Of the State before
the next presidential campaign
The party interest lies in the fact
that the State will be Democratic
instead Of republican, as has been
thought before the first elections
were held. Influences Of this char
acter certainly can not be consider
ed by the President for a moment.
Indeed it is peanut politics to urge
them, for the rejection Of the State
on any such grounds would do the
Republican party more harm than
the omission of its Democratic cleo
toral votes from the election re
turns could do good.-Chicago Rec
ord Herald.

HORSE WINDS THE CLOCK.
Wonderful Animal Wears Boots
Trousers, Coat and Hat.

When horse winds the clock,
takes off his boots, lights a candle
and goes to bed, it Is time for a man
to marvel. Yet this, and much
more, Is done by a wonderful ami
NAL which last winter startled all
| Europe. Many went from London
as far as st. Petersburg to see the
horse when it was on exhibition
there and they came back almost
dazed with astonishment
This wonderful equine Is known
as The Goodnight Horse. 1t
/ is one of the company of several,
trained and directed by the great
Riccobono, the most remarkable
man in all Europe. The act rep
resents the kitchen at the hope of
( Mr.. and Mrs. Horse at supper time.
/ Mr.. Horse comes home from work
dressed i'm boots, hat, coat and
+ trousers. He eats his supper at
the table surrounded by his family.
/ Then he reads the pink sporting
supplement Of the daily paper.
When the clock strikes ten he lights
candle, goes to his bed, removes
his boots, coat and trousers, pulls
the cover down, blows the candle
out and climbs into his peaceful
couch. As soon as he begins to
snore his wife enters and deity goes
through his trousers pockets.
There has never been at any time
in any country an example Of ami
NAL training that would in any way
compare with this one. Such a SEN
sation did it create in Europe that
an agent of Ringing Brothers was
sent to St. Petersburg especially to
see it. The result is that Riccobo-
no was induced to bring his COM
pany of animal actors to America
for the first time, in spite Of the
fact that he was wanted everywhere
in Europe. He is this season one
of the big features with the Worlds
greatest show, presenting this act
Just as seen in the other world.
Principal among other trained
animal acts with the big circus are
Kerslake'- pigs, which climb ladders
walk, balance on rolling globes and
shoot the chute; the famous Ring
/ ling elephant is a new act origina-
ted by Pearl Souder; and Nola
/ Satterfeld and her comical trick
/ horses. There are 300 performers,
all told, with Ringing Brothers
show, the major portion Of whom
are making their first tour Of this
country. Novelty and newness pre-
vail all through the days displays,
from the bright new parade to the
very end of the hippodrome special
ties. For many years this circus
has been the best and biggest in the
world, and each year finds it larger
and better than the last. This sea-
son it has added more and better
acts than in any other season Of its
past. The engagement in Aberdeen
is set for Thursday, Novem beI 7,
and on that day a branch ticket Of
fee will be opened in the store q
