FOOTBALL on HORSEBACK.
One sf the Novelties With Buffalo
Bill's Wild West Shows New
Styles Of Playing the Grid
iron Game.

OF the many novel and interesting
features with Buffalo Bill's Wild West
football on horseback is probably the
most unique form of entertainment
yet introduced. One can hardly be-
lieve that the art Of horse training
has been perfected to such an extent
that a game of football can be played
by men on horseback, but that such is
really the case will be proven when
the Wild West comes to town.
This is the first time the game has
been introduced with a public exhibi-
ton. Over in England some of the
country clubs have tried the sport,
and it has been found equal to pony
polo in interest and excitement.
Whether the game will become popu-
lar in this country remains to be seen,
but as our people are always on the
lookout for novel forms of amusement,
it would not be surprising If it were
taken up and tried out by horsemen
in the United States.
The ball used is of mammoth size,
made of rubber, and by humping it
about the riders and their horses ma
nipulate the sphere from goal to goal,
playing the game under special rules.
All of fine points of the regulation
game of football are brought out in
the horse play" of the Wild West,
and it is said that the game played
l. hi oh
citing and decidedly amusing.
There will be many other interest
ing features with the Wild West, and
many forms of amusement. Ray
Thompson's trained western range
horses will contribute surprisingly
clever high school exhibition, doing
stunts" after the fashion of the
trained thoroughbred OF the circus
arena. There will be all styles of
roughriding by horsemen represent
ing the equestrian nations Of the
world. There will be the Cossacks
from Russia. the Arabian with his
thoroughbred steed. English cavalry
displays. roughriding by our own cow
boys and American Indians, and a

GLENN'S MESSAGE
 ID LEGISLATURE Two and a Half Cent Rate is
 Recommended SEAB0ARD KICKS ON RATE Receivers of seaboard Inform Gov ernor That Receivership Is Evil dence That Railroad Cannot
 Stand Reduction.
SEABOARD KICKS ON RATE

Raleigh. N. C., January H.-The legis- lature of North Carolina convened in spe- clal session today, having been called by Governor Glenn to make a change in the railroad rate law, fixing the rate of fare at 21k cents mile. Governor Glenn, in his message, recommended that the terms he had offered to the railroads be accepted. These provide for a 215-cent flat rate, 2000-mie books for five mem bers of firms, and 100O-mile books for individuals at 2 cents, good intrastate and interstate, and interchangeable among the railroads; 500-mile books for families at PA cents, intrastate.
 If other than railroad rate legislation is taken up. he recommends that a pro- hibition bill be passed He also recom- mends that in freight rates a larger rate be allowed independent roads in the state with a mileage of 100 miles or less The Order of Railway Conductors, represent ed by 200 conductors from all lines in the state, waited on the governor and asked him to send their petition to the legislature for 3-cent rate that with 0 lower rate they feared cut in their salaries The governor transmitted the petition in special message. A third special message recommended giving to the corporation commission power to con- trol the taking off of local passenger trains by the railroads.
 The Seaboard Air Line receivers and President Garrett of that road today in formed the governor that they desired a Scent rate and 21h-cent mileage, that the Seaboard receivership had shown it's en- barassment and that it could hardly get along on a less rate.

FINANCIAL BILLS GETTING THICKER
SENATOR BAILEY PROPOSES A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE ALDRICH BILL, WHILE MIR. HANsBRoUGH IS PREPARING ANOTHER.

Washington, January 21.-Financial bills which will be offered as substi- tutes for the Aldrich financial bill both senate are being prepared by Senator Bailey and Senator Hansbrough.
 Most of the democratic senators of the c0mmittee on finance are expected to cooperate with Senator Bailey on his measure, which will be ready to again meets. It is in effect a bill pro- viding for the issue of money by the government through deposits in banks The emergency securities. which the Aldrich bill specifies. such as municipal county and railroad bonds, will come into use through a system of deposits in national banks by the government for which the securities will be taken and held by the government and on which certain rates of interest will be charged the banks.
 Senator Bailey is endeayoring to re- tain the specific terms of the Aldrich bill by reversing the provisions in
 
 posits of currency in banks instead of government Issues of currency to banks. Under his proposed system tn e government will simply issue notes that are secured and deposit them with banks in quantities fhat correspond to the securities offering, making the se- curities at such values as the bill will specifically set forth. There will be first an attempt to have railroad bonds eliminated as securities from the Ald- rich bill, but if this action is defeat ed, Senator Bailey will take that &C., tion as the will of the committee and place them in his substitute.
 Senator Teller is known to favor the Bailey substitute, railroad bonds and all, and it is believed that the remain ing democrats of the committee also will urge the substitute and accept Senator Bailey's views of the railroad bond situation.
 The central bank bill which Senator Hansbrough introduced in the senate early in the session will also be of fered as a substitute for the Aldrich bill, with the location of the bank changed from Chicago to Washington.
