THE BIG CIRCUS
An Old Fashioned Show Erouoht Up.
to-Date


to-Date
The Kansas City journal liked the
big Sells-Floto shows that are to ex-
hibit at Reno Thursday and Friday
May 9th and 10th.
In fact, all the exchanges speak in
the highest praise of the show and
management. 1t reads:
Good and clean from start to fin
ish,' was the general verdict of the
Sells-Floto circus. Large audiences,
the seating capacity OF the tent, were
present on each occasion, and there
We're very few dull moments through
out the play. The performing animals
the clowns, the acrobats, the trapeze
artists and in fact every act of the
show was of the highest order. The
trained elephants we're the best ever
seen here and there have been some
good ones. The parade was the clean
est and the calliope was the first one
ever heard that did not CRATE on the
ears.
The parade was all that could have
been asked 1t contained the usual
cages of limos, tigers, bears, leopards
and other wild animals, and with the
camels, dromedaries and beautiful
horses, made most creditable show
ing.
The Galveston, Tex, Daily News,
says:
Several thousand men, women and
children saw the great Sells-Floto
shows Saturday matinee and night
and everywhere there is heard moth
ing but praise for the clean, refresh,
ing performances. The management
of the circus has altered almost COM
pletely the old style shows ana put
the whole Sells-Floto pangant upon
genial and refined lines. All impollte-
ness and yulgarity has been relegated
to the remotest regions with the re-
sult that there will be found nowhere
a more interesting and educational
contingent of the class. The manage
ment has seen fit to furnish a great
army of clowns who do things ano
know how to catch the public fancy
and they are funny. This cannot be
said of the usual cut and dried affairs
of must circuses nowadays. In this
show the time e-honored fun-makers dc
some of the principal turns in the per
| formances and do not act as mere
side issue as most people are accus
| toned to seeing.
The V. &. T. railway will make ar
excursion rate of $3.50 for the rount
trim to the circus at Reno. See the

RYAN TO RAISE PEANUTS IN HIS CONGO DISTRICT

NEW YORK.-When Thomas F. lV Ryan interests himself in any en- terprise he is more than likely to get everything out of it that can be made to yield a profit. When he acquired the 10000 acres in the Congo district it was generally supposed that he would be satisfied with the gold. cop per and rubber in sight there. But MT. Ryan, as a Virginian, knows the potentiality of rich soil, and as there would be many thousands of idle acres in the Congo principality which he had acquired, and as this idle land would not yield any of the three great crops from which the greater part of his profit was supposed to come, he determined to put it to practical use.
 Virginia is a great peanut state. The soil conditions in MT. Ryan's Congo domain are peculiarly well fit ted for peanut culture. The best-pay- ing grade of peanuts that come from the Virginia market are the so-called jumbo variety, large, rich nut, abounding in oil and general all around nutrition
 MT. Ryan is going to raise jumbo peanuts in his mid-African property. These jumbo peanuts will bring a big price in this market and will be in strumental in breaking many a corner as now engineered by the shelters in MT. Ryan's own state. Men with all technical agricultural knowledge of

 Every member is under the eye of this secret force. and the commission CT now knows more about the inside workings of the department than he ever dreamed of before
 This is the first time in the history Of America that the head of a police department has found 1t necessary to resort to a system of spies. The new force has been recruited from other large cities, and not one of them is known to the regular members of the

WE MUST GET BUSY.

The point has been reached in com mercial conditions when it becomes ne- cessary for every town depending upon the farmers for an existence, to put forth every effort in building and main- taining good roads.
 The failure of the legislature to pro- vide any means other than the present law for tbe betterment of road cond- tions means that individuals must SUD- plement the road tax if there is to be any material improvement in the condi- tion of our highways.
 The following special to the Gazette tells what Camden is doing:
 Camden, May 1.-The Camden Board of Trade, at it's meeting last night, passed resolution calling upon the business men of Camden to supplement the road tax of this district with do- nation of $3000 this fund to be applied to building a gravel or macadam road leading from the ferry on the Ouachita river across the river bottom east of this city. Of this amount S1. POO was subscribed by the members present and committee Is canvassing the town to secure the remainder of the fund.
 And many other towns are taking the same steps to provide means for the farmers to market their products and take home their merchandise.
 There is much for Prescott to do. The levee across the Carouse at Steel'es Bridge is in sad plight. 'Tis true much money has already been spent in fixing this levee, and high waters in- variably destroy all efforts. But there must be no weakening in our endeavor to make stable passageway through this treacherous bottom. It is idle to say 1t can't be done, unless we have be- come reconciled to losing a part of this valuable trading territory.
 And there might be effectual work done on the roads into Clark county, and increase the handsome trade we are already getting from that section.
 To say the least of it, Prescott must necessarily lose trade if her merchants do not spend some money in improving the roads leading into town.

 Just how long this force of secret police has been at work no one knows except the commissioner and the men themselves. The regular members of the force, captains and inspectors. Know they are being watched, and they have sent men out on the trail. put they have not yet been able to trace one member of the new force.
 It was declared that the recent raid upon the headquarters of the Police mems Benevolent association in which ssz,ooo in cash was uncovered, was the result of information gathered by one Of the members of the new force

the matter have been sent to the Congo
 Probably the most used peanut is shoot of what used to be exclusively grown in Spain. This is the little round peanut so much used for salt ing. In Virginia greater part of the crop grown there is called Span ish No. 1.
 When the crop is short in Virginia the original Spanish Is imported from Spain, but, in fact, it is grown in northern Africa. The conditions of the Virginia soil make it superior for this nut over any other section in the world except the Congo district.
 The jumbo variety brings the high est price, however and naturally 1t was that variety that Mir. Ryan select ed for his crop. He will later grow the Spanish peanut, which, although cheaper, has a greater sale than the jumbo. But MT. Ryans advisers, knowing that the jumbo would have the greater sale if the price were lower, have advised him to try that grade first. And that is the grade that MT. Ryan will grow in the Congo district, and from the proceeds thereof he hopes to be able to pay no inconsderable part of the expenses of the working of his rubber plantations, gold mines and copper enterprises. It is said that Mir Ryan will go to the Congo before very long

While there may be some who care nothing for the game, yet they must acknowledge that the sport is popular with large majority of the people everywhere, and as a national game. it supercedes every other amuse- ment. It is harmless, interesting, and amusing. A good ball team is good advertisement for town.

WEXFORD A GOOD THING.
Gravesend Handicap Won Tn Runa.
 way Race by Outsider.

Gravesend Handicap Won Tn Runa-
 way Race by Outsider.
 NEW YORK, June 13.-Another good thing was put over at Gravesend when Wexford won the third race. Opening at 15 to 1, the gelding received no sup port, most of the money going on Zam- besi, the 8 to favorite. When. how ever, 20 to was chalked up against Wexford the wise money began to show It came in such quantities that the price was cut again to 15 and then to 10 and 5 to 1, finally closing at ' to 2.
 The race was a handicap for three year-olds, one mile and furiong, and good field faced the starter. Shilling had the mount on Wexford and sent him into the lead and made runaway race of it, winning by eight lengths from Zambesi, with Tommy Waddell third. The mile and furlong was run in 1:52 2-5, which is within two-fifths of second of the track record. . Court Dress, the odds on favorite, scored clever victory in the GaZelie stakes. She led from start to finish and won by one and half lengths. She was the only favorite to win. The winners:
 First Race.-James B. Brady, first; Gene Russell, second; Joe Nealon, third.
 Second Race. = Tom Cogan, first; Sheriff Williams, second; Realm, third.
 Third Race. = Wexford, first; Zam- besi, second; Tommy Waddell, third.
 Fourth Race. - Court Dress, first; Yankee Girl, second; Estimate, third.
 Fifth Race.-Robin Hood. first; Gold en West, second: Slickaway, third.

Albany Senators In Caucus
 Cinch the Deadlock.
NOW MORE HOPELESS THAN EVER.
Much Bitterness of Feeling Between Assembly md senate-No Adjourn ment Tomorrow Possible on
 Present Outlook.

ALBANY, N. r., June 13-The Re publican senators by vote of 21 to Il in second caucus here reaffirmed the action of the caucus of week ago, thus insisting upon the enactment of the So called "Tully plan" for the ap- portionment of senate districts which the senate has passed as its bill.
 The eleven senators who voted to re- scind the former action were Agnew of New York, Foelker and Gilchrist of Brooklyn, Burr of Suffolk, Carpenter of Westchester, Franchot of Niagara, Gates of Madison, Grattan of Albany, Hill of Buffalo, Hooker of Genesee and White of Syracuse. All of the thirty two Republican senators were present and voted except Cordts of Ulster, who left for home before the vote was reached, but whose proxy was cast with the majority by Senator Raines.
 The action of the caucus leaves the deadlock between the two houses ap- parently more hopeless than before and seems likely to delay indefinitely Iue uudi auJOuIHlueul Ol tuc ieSloid- ture, fixed for o'clock tomorrow by resolution adopted by the senate and now pending in the assembly. No one is willing now to prophecy the final outcome.
 Much bitterness of feeling has been added to the already strained relation ship between the two houses, and for the moment it looked as if the legisla- ture might even adjourn without pass ing an apportionment bill. Such an event would mean either that Govern or Hughes would convene the legisla- ture in extraordinary session, proba- bly, immediately, to complete this busi- ness or that the election of legislators next fall must be held under the old apportionment set forth in the consti- tuition which the act of 1906, recently declared invalid by the court of ap- peals, was intended to supersede.

 At the time of the blaze high wind was blowing. Girard has no fire de- partment or waterworks system, so Youngstown sent apparatus, but owing to lack of water 1t could do nothing. A bucket brigade was formed, and wo- men worked with the men. The fire swept the north side of Liberty street, the main business thoroughfare. \ Among the places destroyed were J0- seph Haegtin's merchant tailor shop, Carlton X Boyd, clothing; Henry Hartz- welt, general merchandise; Quelter's hardware store, the Girard Journal of- flee, Hugh x Howell's meat market, Davis farmers supply store, Robert Emch's store and several smaller places, with half a dozen houses.
