THE GREAT VAN ANBURG SHOW.
BIGGER and Better Than Ever.

The Great Van Amburg Show
is advertised to exhibit in Brook.
haven, November Z. Over five
hundred people travel with this
big show. 1t has the finest of cir
Gus features and one of the best
travelling menageries in America.
Animals from every quarter of
the globe are represented. There
is hyena said to be the lhrgest
ever ia captivity. There are real
live tigers, a whole cage of them
fresh from the iungles Of India
where their ancestors have supped
upon many a luckless native, and
a great cage of lions. baby lions
and some of them not babies.
There are hundreds of monkeys
to delight the small boy. Those
strange animals, the, water buffalo.
direct from our own Philippine
Islands, will be found in our col
lection. There are sacred COWS,
camels, buffalo, elks, deer, carri-
bous and many other strange and
curious animals. There are a
number of elephants, among them
the largest and smallest elephants
in thesknown world.
The street parade will traverse
the principal streets of the city 10
the morning. In the parade will
appear about 40 cages and wagons,
drawn by four, six and eight
teams. A large calliope will play
all the latest music of the day.
One of the noticeable features
at the grounds where the Van
Amburg Shows appear is the cour
tesy of the employees. Every one
is willing and. anxious that the
spectator shall see all of it. The
show employs only those who
know how to be gentlemen. and
particular care to ladies and chill
dren is the first consideration of
the Van Anlburg management.
Two performances will be
given beginning at 2 and 5 p. m.
respectively. Don't forget the
date, November {.
Wall Street was thrown into a
furry Tuesday By the suspension
of the Knickerbocker Trust Co.,
the second largest financial con-
cern in New Yurk City, whose
deposits amount to over $50, ,000,- /
900. Meyer e Co., members Of.
the New York Stock Exchange,
made an assignment early in the
day with liabilities Of $4,000, 900.
and this caused the run on the
Kniekerbocker which emptied it's
cash vaults before the run ceased.

BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
ODESSA, Jan. six terror
lists have been saved from the
gallows by resourceful revolu-
tionists here, who conceived the
bold plan of utilizing the official
cipher to hoodwink the governor
general.
The terrorists had been tried
by court martial and sentenced
to death, and were awaiting exc
cution when the governor general
received a cipher telegram from
st. Petersburg, apparently bear
ing the signature of Gen. Pavloff,
the military procurator, convey
ing the emperor's order to COM
mute the death sentences to hard
labor for life.
The order was officially put in
force, but the authorities have
now ascertained that it was a
clever forgery on the part of the
revolutionists, who by some
means obtained access to the gov
ernment code.

at 1880 this morning and the desires
of those present were very nicely car
ried out at noon today.
Just what promises, If any, were
made at the midnight meeting is un-
known. 1t has been thought for
months that a bitter fight would be
waged over the speakership and 1t was
declared such docile agreement be-
tween the candidates as that of last
night could not be reached.
For this reason the adjustment of
last night and this morning comes as
a decided surprise and as an unex-
pected finish to a contest which has
been supposed to be brewing.
1t is declared also that at this time
the fates of all other candidates for
the various honors were sealed.
The senate was called to order at II
o'clock by Lieutenant Governor Alden
Anderson. Roll call followed, first of
the hold-over senator's and next of the
senators-e elect.
All were sworn in, complying with
the usual form.
1t was moved by Senator Belshaw
that Senator Savage of the Thirty
fourth district be given leave of abb
sence in consequence of the death of
his wife. A resolution was adopted to
appoint a committee of three to send
message of coincidence to Mr.. Savage.

adopt a resolution to appoint officers
of the senate. Mr.. Leavitt eulogized
