WILD ANIMAL SHOW.
Lions, Tigers and Other Features Have
Possession of Auditorium.

Echo after echo reverberated
through the Auditorium as a reporter
for the State Journal entered through
one of the side doors this morning.
From the volume of sound it seemed
! as though a dozen steamboat foghorns
were in full blast at the same time
But it was only the lions exercising
lined up in the Auditorium today all
filled with different animals. some
wild, some tame. but all trained to do
some sort of circus work
Al G.. Barnes wild animal circus
will give eight performances in the
Auditorium this week, beginning to-
night and ending Friday night with
matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Fri
day afternoons.
Perhaps the most startling act is
that of Mile Martha Florine's exhibit
ton with the biggest of the lions. the
well known Caesar Wallace. She en-
terS the steel cage and makes the lion
go through with a performance.
The show includes trained ponies.
trained dogs, trained monkeys. bears
and lions.
Dolly Castle does a dancing act in a
den of three lions.
The animal show came to Topeka
from an engagement of one week at
st. Joe and the show goes from To-
peka to Denver. Colorado.
Early in the week at st. Joe one of
the lions became furious and severely
injured Mile Florine's arm Mr..
Barnes, proprietor of the show de-
cided to give an act each day in place
of the one that Mile Florine had been
giving while she recovered from the
wounds received in her struggle with
the lion. The lion was still in vicious
mood and Mr.. Barnes nearly had his
clothes torn off in trying to handle
him.
Ruth Grey, who is advertised as
natures most mystic phenomenon"
and who gives a performance similar
in character to that of Anna Eva Fay,
is also with the wild animal show and
a portion of each entertainment is
provided by her.
1t is said that Miss Grey is better in
her act of divining your thoughts than
Anna Eva Fay, who has held the
record SO far as the local stage is con-
cerned.
Miss Grey says: st have cultivated

NO CANTEEN AT THE HOME.
Old soldiers at Leavenworth Must Do

L Washington, Feb. 25.-The opponents OF

Kansan, Representative BowerSock. That

The amendment offered by Mr.. Bower
sock provided that none of the FUNDS so
appropriated should be expended at a SOL
bate that followed the temperance
question for three hours kept the house
in a state of excitement.
Some of the best speeches heard at TINS
session were made in favor of giving the
old soldiers their beer. One of these
speeches was made by Representative J:
Sloan Fassett of New York, who pictured
the old soldiers as battle SCARED dere-
licts going down the pathway to their
eternal rest, creatures of habits they form
ed in their youth. Between rum and tenn

DAY OF REIMBURSEMENT.
Initiation Now as Great as in Green
back Days Following Civil War.

New York. Feb. 25.-President
William E. Truesdale of the Delaware
& Lackawanna railway in a published
interview today is quoted saying:
"A campaign of agitation against
railways having its origin in high ex-
ecutive authority is being waged
throughout the country. AS it passes
down the line each subordinate and
each state and local authority strives
to surpass his superior in zeal and in
crease Its volume.
cat the same time there is manifest
everywhere a spirit of unrest and dis
trust regarding general financial con-
ditions and the continuation of our
great prosperity.
Il am not a general financial ex-
these monetary questions. I have be-
lief in the genuine prosperity of the
country, but I also believe that we are
living in a time of as great imitation as
during the greenback days following
the close of the civil war. 1 may be
extreme in my comparison, but the
prices of both labor and commodities
can not go on forever increasing with
out a day of readjustment. And the
campaign of fomenting distrust of
every kind will not tend to make easy
this settlement of disturbed condi-
tons.
mo doubt there is some justification
for the public hostility against rail-
roads. On the other hand there is lit
tie doubt that the conditions COM
planned of are not SO bad or so univer-
sal as claimed.
sThe tendency is to go to an ex-
IRENE which will not serve merely to
remedy conditions and practices that
need attention, but extending far be-
yond will so check and impede the
Operation of the railways as to affect
general business interests. They will
suffer together.

FIGHT OVER TEMPERANCE.
Interesting Question to Come Before
Presbyterian Assembly.

Columbus. O., May 19.-Many important
questions are to come before the Presby-
terrain general assembly during the pres
ent week, but none has aroused more in
tereSt among the commissioners than that
of the work of the permanent temperance
committee The organization of the Na-
tional Interchurch Temperance federation
at Pittsburg last January through the ef-
forts of this committee. has aroused the
opposition of the anti-salOon league.
which regards the new organization as
Infringing upon its field of work The
league claims that it is. in effect, an in
terchurch federation. since it derives its
chief support from the various churches,
and that therefore the new organization
is unnecessary.
Several overtures have been submitted
70 the general assembly asking that the
rev temperance movement be abandoned
and that undivided support be given TO
the anti-SalOOn league. The question is
to he brought before the assembly on
these over.ures rather than on the report
OF the temperance committee, if plans of
certain church leaders do not fail.
