that is Ringing Brothers'-is announced
for two performances in this city on Tues
day and Wednesday. June and ..
Since its last engagement in this neigh
borhood this great enterprise has grown
10 such an extent that the question OF
transporting II from place TO place Is
taxing the railroads to the limit. AS
great as It's size. are the many acts which
go 20 make up program that all other
shows combined cannot equal From the
lan6 of turquoise sky comes also Daisy
Hodgfni. the worlds greatest woman bare
back rider; the Borsenis, who do an aero
batic act while balancing on rolling globes,
and Riccobono with his marvellous horses,
one of which pulls off boots and trousers,
lights candle and goes TO IT'S bed.
Persia has sent to this show the great
ost acrobatc act the world has ever seen
that of the Mirze Golem troupe, who
perform on pedestals From France have
come the Legard acrobats, whose work
is not like anything ever seen In this
country and the Patty brothers, who
walk on their heads with their hands
held tight TO their hips In Germany
was found the De Kock trio, with a dog
that sits upright on the head OF one and
holds another man upside down, balanc-
ing with his head to the dogs head. 1t
is like the ordinary three-high standing
act-with a dog in the middle.
In Spain were engaged twelve great
performers whose acts are especially at
tractive Principal of these are the Mar
nello- Marnite quartette OF acrobats, who,
with bells fastened TO their arms and
legs play operatic music while turning
handsprings and double somersaults.
Others are Alvarez. a remarkable aero
battc head balancer; The Toreodors, who
do a grotesque bull fight that provokes
great laughter. and Marno, the funniest
OF clown gy-mnasts. The Holloway fam
fly. performing most wonderful feats on
high wire. are of English importation.
Besides these are the Bedini family. the
worlds greatest riders; the Clarhonians,
the best aerialists who ever lived; the
Belfords. presenting a new and sensa-
tlonal acrobatic act: the Kaufman fam
lily OF unicycle riders; the Jordans. In the
biggest trapeze act ever presented, and
Marguerite and Hanley, famous in the
old world for an original conception that
defes description
Novelty is the dominant note OF the
great circus II has nothing about II
than anyone in this country has ever seen
before.

eating Committee.

Is to II the Texas senate Monday dis
charged the investigating committee
which has been in session several
weeks looking into charges against
United States Senator Joseph w. Bal
ley. At IL o'clock the anti-Bailey fol-
lowing offered a resolution instructing
the commission not to bring in re-
port at this time, but to send sub
committee to st. Louis to secure the
testimony of H. Clay Pierce of the
Waters-Pierce Oil company and to
embody such evidence in it's final re-
port.

tigating committee be discharged at

tended that every member of the

committee by the reason of it's pub
LEGATION by the daily press of the
country, and senate members could
not vote on the question now in an in
telligent manner.
