a prosperous grocer of this city,
came pretty near costing him his life
at the hands of mob. At night,
Henry suspected that his wife was
going out to meet James Beering
and he determined to follow her.
Then he conceived the idea of
Disgusting himself as a negro, so
that neither his wife nor Beering
would know him If they saw him
following them. With the aid of
burnt cork he succeeded admirably.
Thus disguised. he followed his
wife and Beering until his anger
got the better of him, and he went
for the affinity in downtown street
and proceeded to pummel him with
his fists. Beering, finding himself
suddenly attacked In the street by
an unknown negro, countered heav-
lily on Henry's jaw, and then they
mixed il up and We're pounding each

some to see the animals, and others
just to take the children. But what
ever the motive or the inducement
everybody goes to the circus. and
everybody halls its coming with
more or less delightful anticipation.
But the Texas governmental officials
do not appear to appreciate a cir
Gus. The idea with them seems to be
that the circus takes too much mon
ey out of the country and Is too
great drain upon the cash balance
OF the people of the towns in which
performances are given. OF course
the circus also leaves good deal of
money for the performers and help
ers, and the horses and the animals
of the menagerie must be fed and
other expenses incident to living
and wearing clothes and enjoying
life must be met, and 1t is not al
ways that the credit account greatly
overbalances the expense account.
Whether the circus will visit Tex
as this season, that is during the
coming autumn, will depend upon
the eXactions of the tax gatberers.
The state imposes a heavy license
tax upon each performance and to
avoid the full payment the compan-
les have heretofore resorted to a
continuous performance subterfuge
and TO slight reduction in the en-
extra charge for reserved seats. The
state revenue agent has advised a
representative OF the circus interests
contemplating a tour OF Texas that
there shall be- 40 more eDyasions of
II, law ia the mdhnur heretofore
practiced and that continuous
performance" shall be interpreted to
