The Two ClRCUSES.
The Three Ring Affair Had Points Of
Advantage Oyer the Other.

Birmingham, Ala, November
2:-For an hour or more before
leaving Jackson, Miss, early
this morning. President Taft's
special train was parked in the
railroad yards Immediately along
side one of the sleeping car trains
of the three-ring circus, which
played in Jackson as an op-
position attraction to the Presi-
dent on yesterday.
1t was not long before an ac-
quaintance had been formed
aboard the two trains, and for
a time the conversation ran from
window to window like this:
eve play in Yazoo to-mor-
row, where do you play?" asked
a representative of the circus, ad-
dressing one of the Presidential
party.
1--WE play Columbus in the
afternoon and Birmingham at
night, with street parade in
both Places" came the reply.
eve played Columbus yester-
day."
'How was business?"
Bully"
1--WE get the crowds wherever
we CO." boasted a Presidential
one-night stander.
But We get the money, came
back the circus man, amid the
applause of his associates.
"Yes," put in a lady bareback
rider, land you only have one
platform show and a band in
the parade. We have a band
all the time"
IF it was not for the one
main guy you would not have
"a show at ALL" chimed in a sad
and serious visaged individual
through one of the windows OF
the yellow circus train.
He was the leading clown.
The bombardment from the
three-ring show became so heavy
that the Presidential adherents
gave up the task of further
comparison, and all hands part
ed company with expressions of
great delight that the circus
was going into winter quarters
in two weeks, and that the Presi-
dents troupe was quitting the
road in ten days.

,JoHSS0NYlLLE HIGH SCHOOL.

JohnSonVllie, November
On Monday, October +, our
school opened with six teachers
and a large enrolment OF pu-
pills. Quite a number of patrons
also were present at the opening
exercises, which assured the
teachers, as mere words would
have been inadequate to eX'
press, that they were welcome
in our midst and had their best
wishes for successful term. We
feel much encouraged in our
work and are anticipating the
most successful year in the his
tory of the school,a we have IN
our midst as teachers in the
school room, as we'll as examples
in everyday life, a corps OF
teachers who are not only de-
voted to school work but to
church work as we'll; they are
faithful attendants and earnest
workers in church and Sunday
school. We hope in the near tu-
ture TO send out from Johnson
Vile High school boys and girls
who will be able to take their
stands in the business world as
guiding ligbts,and be first among
the principa. business elements
in any community in which they
may locate.
Our "Excelsior'' literary So
ciety met on Friday, October 22,
for the purpose or re-organlzlng
and getting things in order tor

PROGRESS, which spells PROS
PERITY, is but another way of spell
ing PUBLICITY.
In ADVERTISING, IN making things
known from man TO man. from wo-
man to woman. lies the secret OF SUC
CESS for which individuals and COM
munities seek.
The day OF waiting for BUSINESS
to step in at the door and SUCCESS
to blow in at the window is past
We must 20 out and corral BCsl-
NESS and coax SUCCESS.
And the one way 10 do it is spelt so:

NICARAGUANS FLOCK

Sweeps Over Republic.
Fighting Begins.

BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua. Oct. IA
CBy wireless via Colon. THE revolution
headed by Cen Juan J. Estrada against
President Zelaya has aroused the entire
country. and seems 10 be sweeping the
republic like wiIdfre-
Everywhe,e the people are reported to
be fiocking 10 the arms OF the revolu-
tionists. From - interior comes the
news that the rev0lutionists have seized
Rivas ana a4so that Corfnto, a seaport
on the Pacific. has declared fnk ne
revolution and has overthrown the gov
ernment there.
News from Greytoyn today is that
there was some fighting there yesterday
before the city was taken by the revolu-
tionists. Colonel Uganda, at the head OF
the force Of several hundred revolution
lists. arrived at Greyton before the main
body Of the insurgents under Estrada
Colonel Uganda called upon the garrison
TO surrender but was answered with
voIley. His men returned the fire and.
after a sharp fight, Uganda routed the
garrison and took possession OF the
town with no further reasts nee In the
fighting there were sore faIalities, sew
eral men being killed o.. either side, and
a number wounded.
Upon the arrival at Greytown later
in the evening Of Tuesday Of the body
under Gen. Chamerro Estrada, the en-
tire forces left for the interior TO meet
their first real opposition at the fortified
town OF Castillo, where they expected
to fight today.

STORM OF PROTEST
HORRIFIES ALFONSO

MADRID via Hendaya, Oct lin
formation received today from Spanish
court circles says King Alfonso is horri-
poured in over the execution Of Francis
co Ferrer at Barcelona yesterday.
He Is denouncing the ministers on
whose advice he allowed the court-mar-
tails sentence Of death 20 be carried out
declaring they kept him In ignorance Of
the real state OF the public mind, not
only in SPAIN but in all Europe
IL Is reported that the Spanish cabinet
offered TO resign. but that Alfonso de
mauded that his ministers remain at
their posts and help to eXtricate him
from the difficulty.
There IS no doubt In the minds OF
those who have seen the King since the
execution that had he known Ferrer's
death would have caused such a furOre
he would have prevented it.
Scores OF death threats have been re-
the execution of which the palace guard
has been doubled and a regiment OF
troops modified for emergency action.
Opponents Of the ministry are making
the most Of the opportunity and have
succeeded iu stirring up q feeling Of
animOsity toward the King that exceeds
that which characterized the days Of
Spanish reverses in Morocco. A clipping
bureau is busy flooding the King with
press extracts, which call FeTrer a mar
tyr, his execution a plain murder and
comparing Alfonso with Ferdinand II Of
Naples, who was nickncmed King
Eomba, for his ruthless bonSbardment
Of Messina-
Many OF the leading papers Of the
Continent openly predict a Spanish Tevo-
luton, as either the direct or indirect
outcome OF FerreFs death.

Batting Order of
The Rival Teams

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. a.
Hughey Jennings and his battered
but still confident Tigers AMI Fred
Clarke's Glorious Pirates reached
here today, and this afternoon wilr
engage in what may be the deciding
game Of the worlds series.
If ClarkeS team is successful no
more games will have to be played
as they win have won four out of
six, but if the Tigers win, znother
battle will be played q Detroit Sas
urday, the National Commission
having decided to play the extra
game here in case such a contest is
necessary.
FANS" BACKING TIGERS.
Tiger fans have not quit the
team. They are confident now that
Adams is out OF the way and wild
Bill Donovan and George Mulifn
are ready TO take their turn in the
box, that the Tigers will capture
the series.
Wild Bill is IN splendid shape
and is scheduled to work IN today's
game. He said last night that he
would give $500 to win another
game from the buccaneers. Dono-
van, like the rest of the Tigers, is
tired Of holding the bag after every
worlds series and not one Of Il EN-
but would give half Of his winnings
to be numbered among the players
who have battled on the worlds
championship team.
Jennings Appeal.
Jennings gathered his team about him
on the sleeper last night and pleaded
with them 10 win from the Pirates to-
day. Hughey's chief ambition is to win
the worlds championship. He has tried
twice and been unsuccessful and If his
men fail him again he will be heart
sick and discouraged.
Clarke invited his players into one OF
the large reception halls at the Pom
chartrain Hotel today and gave them
a line Of talk very much like the one
handed out by the leader OF the Jungle
crew
Don't be too sure we have the series
cinched," the Pirate chieftain said.

year than either 1907 or 1903 Jen-
nings' men viii night 20 the last ditch

No Odds Offered
A delegation OF Pittsburg fans much
larger than those who came TO see the
first two games accompanied the Pirates
on this trip.
They think their pets win win. but
are not willing TO offer any odds. fig

chance to win today,

GRAND CANYON, Ariz. Oct. IA
President Taft was up early today TO
see the sun rise in the wonderful col
orings Of the grand canyon. His train
arrived a few hours ahead Of time from
Ashfork. so the President might have
q longer stay on the brink Of the gi-
gantic chasm.
In company with Governor Sloan and
two or three other celebr 'ties Of the
Territory. the President had breakfast
on his train and was then taken In
stage to various points of interest along
the edge Of the canyon.
The President will remain here until
$3.50 when he viii leave for AIbu-
QueTque.
Mr., Taft absolutely refused to discuss
any phase Of the Crane incident for
publication, but 1t IS understood he re-
CARDS the matter as finally closed. He
believes Crane was iudiScreet in talk
Ing about diplomatic matters and
thinks therefore that re is not suited
Tor the place of minister to China or
for any diplomatic position.
Postmaster General Hitchcock, who
is travelling with the President through
Arizona, has been in the State four days

wherefore
President Taft is making definite
promise to the people of Arizona that
hood for them, but Is warning them
they must not frame a constitution like

1t is believed that the Postmaster
General Is quite as much concerned in
discovering what sort of a constitu-
ton is likely to be framed, as he is
over the probably political complexion
of the new State.
