Probably the strangest band of peO-
pie in America today is the Mirze Co
lem acrobats, who will be seen in Rock
Island next Tuesday with Ringing
Brothers circus. Until this season
these people had never performed out
side the court of the shah of Persia,
where they have long enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the favorite entertain
ers of the commander of the faithful
The fame of these wonderful aero
bats is known all over Europe, though
no one has seen them perform except
visitors at the Persian court; and many
.agers to secure the company at any
price. To Edgar Linden, an agent of
stantinople, is due the honor of having
persuaded the shah to release his favor
ties for a seasons tour of America:
and it was through the friendship of a
diplomat at Teheran, the Persian CAPT.
tai. that this good luck came about.
When Linden told the diplomat he
was going to make an effort to secure
the Mirze Golems, he was laughed at
for his temerity; but so persistent was
he that his friend finally agreed to get
him an audience with the shah, eau
tioning him. however, to be careful
how he made the proposition. He first
went to the Mirze Golems, who were
elated over his proposal. The possible
ty of going to America filled them with
delight, but they feared to even breach
! the subject to the shah.
| Then Linden sought the Persian mon
arch, the diplomat arranging for the
audience. When the circus agent en-
tered the royal presence, the shah was
seated on an oriental couch amid rict
draperies Frustrating himself at the
feet of the commander of the faithful
Linden went at once to the subject
asking through an interpreter for the
release of the Mirze Golems. The shat
showed no little annoyance at the au
dacity of the American. 1t was some
time before he made move, and ther
it was to point to the door and urge
the circus agent in that direction by
gentle thrust of the foot Then he
said:
wait. Command the Golems, the
most favored of all my entertainers, t
lappear before me. that I may show thi.
presumptuous infidel what he seeks i.

not desire to be harrassed by seeing
such names upon his books. On Sep

ARMY IS BEING
OVERWORKED
Grievances Prevent Re-enlist-
ment and Lead to Desertion.

WASHINGTON, August 22.-Brig.
Gen. William H. Carter, commanding
the Department of the Lakes, in his
annual report sounds a note Of warn
ing against the depletion of the army.
He says the need of recruits is so
great that the overwork of the men
remaining in ranks is a source of
discontentment Notwithstanding ey-
cry effort is made to reduce the post
work.
Not only are more men needed in
the existing organizations, but there
should be a considerable increase in
the infantry as a whole, in view of
the heavy demand of tropical work
and foreign services likely to be re-
quired in the near future.
Insufficient pay, too much fatigue
duty, certain details connected with
practice marches, resentment at the
abolition of the canteen, and recent
requirements as to finger mark and
Photographic Identification are set
down as the grievances which prevent
re-enlistment and increase deser-
tions. AS one result of the abolition
of the canteen there is little or no
profit from the post exchanges, form
erly applied to the purchases of
books, so that there are now practi-
cally no post Libraries, formerly so
attractive to the young soldier,

MISSISSIPPI NEXT
TO GO DRY
Candidates Declaring For Pro
hibition Assures The Law.

NEW ORLEANS, August 22.-The
declaration in favor of State prohibit
ton by both Brewer and Noel, candi-
dates for governor of Mississippi in
the primary to be held, makes GER
tain the passage of State prohibition
law in Mississippi at the next session
of the Legislature in January.
Gov. Vardaman is an open advocate
of State prohibition, but he did not
have the legislature with him. Many
temperance men opposed State pro-
hibition, believing the present local
option law, under which seventy-one
of the seventy-eight counties of the
State have shut liquor out the best in
practice.
At a meeting held several weeks
ago the leaders of the anti-saloon
movement determined to make
fight for State prohibition, and called
a prohibition mass meeting to meet
in Jackson on the day the legislature
assemblies in January to demand the
passage of prohibitory constitutional
amendment
That the opposing candidates for
governor have both come out for pro-
hibition and that a majority of the
Legislators chosen in the first are like
ly to be chosen in the second primary
are for passage of the amendment.
Nor does any one doubt that the pop
ular vote will be overwhelmingly for
it.
The prohibition wave seems to have
swept over Louisiana. Even the big
parish of Nachitoches has just voted
the saloon out After a long and
most exciting campaign in Alabama
and Texas, where a demand was
made on the legislature for a prohibit
tory law, it was decided to strength
en- the saloon laws and let the ques-
ton of prohibition go over until the
next session, two years hnece.
