ABOUT ANIMALS COMING
WITH GoLMAR Bros SHOWS

Nearly all the great cities IN the
country possess public menageries
which constantly buy wild animals;
quixotic individuals frequently buy
cubs of one kind or another, ranging
from tigers to bears; many wealthy
Americans maintain private zoology
cal parks of greater or less extent
and the score of large circus compan-
les must be constantly supplied be-
cause of the high death rate among
their animals. The record Of i'm
ports of the Gollmar Brothers Shows
for the past year is elephants, cam
els, tigers, lions, leopards, pumas,
panthers and any number OF small
animals and birds. There are enough
wild animals now In the Gollmar
Brothers winter quarters to stock q
big show. All are never carried on
the read, in case of accident, fire, etc.
Cubs-Tiger, Ion, leopard and bear
cubs are in special demand by tamil
ies. They are reared and petted ike
kittens, but they invariably come back
to the dealers at a quarter Of what
they sold for. or even as gifts. One
eloquent letter which a dealer recent
" received from woman who had
purchased lion cub a year ago, reaa
as follows:
please come and take my lion
away. She has eaten our Newfound-
land dog" :,

PREMIER ASQU|7H
TO ADVISE king

London, April 14.-Amid scenes of
intense excitement hardly PARALLEL
since the Gladstonian home rule de-
bates, the house of commons tonight
by a majority Of 1913 recorded it's
approval Of Premier Asquith's reso-
buttons dealing with the veto power
of the House of Lords and heard the
premier's declaration of policy for
carrying them into statutory effect.
Having formally introduced amid
loud cheers, his bill embodying the
resolutions, Mr.. Asquith said the
governments effective existence de-
pended the passing Of the resolutions
into law.
If the house of lords failed to ac-
cept or declined to consider their
policy the government would feel
their duty to advise the crown as
to W hat steps We're necessary to in
sure their policy receiving statutory
effect. 1t would not be right, he
said, for him to disclose the terms
of thatadvice bu unless he govern
ment found themselves in a position
to give their policy statutory effect
they would either resign or recon-
mend dissolution of parliament.
The premier's statement was inter-
rupted by cheers. There was much
laughter from the conservative
benches when he said he would not
disclose the terms of his intended
advice to the king.

It was a vicious go from start to

a matter of time.
Barry surprised the ringside crowd
with the strength he displayed despite

regarding the census:
"Whereas, by an act of congress,
approved July 2, 1909, the thirteenth
decennial census of the United States
is to be taken, beginning on the 18th

the Jefferson club.
The Webster high school, which is
line of the Farmers railroad, was
raised from a third to a second grade.
The Webster school is the only rural
high school in the state. Webster
itself is only q little wheat town, and
has a population of less than so peo-
pie, but the pupils from the school
are gathered from the surrounding
country and the district furnished q
team and wagon in which the child
rem are taken to the school and then
returned to their homes. The schools
at Cogswell which have not been
classified heretofore, were placed in
the third grade high school class. :.
The state aid for high schools was
reduced 10 per cent per school on &C.
count of the large number of schools
to be taken care of. Following is q
table showing how the state aid mon
ey is to be spent for the school year
19O9-1O.
80 first class at $72O.
II second class at $3.50.
30 third class at 1910.
This gives $27,360 to the first class
schools, $3.50 to the second class
schools, and $500 to the third class
schools, making total Of $43,11O to
be used as state aid to the high
schools of North Dakota
There was considerable discussion
as to raising the standard of instruc-
ton, and it was agreed that the high
school board should furnish a syllibi
of the various subjects with the idea
of improving the various methods of
instruction. 1t was also decided to
emphasize to the teachers of the high
schools the necessity of giving a thor
ough review Of the common school
subject before the pupils left the high
schools.
President McVey left on later at
ternoon train for Hebron, where he
delivered lecture, and Inspector
Haywood went to Glen Ullin where
he is to inspect the. work of the high
school today.
The next meeting of the board will
be held the latter part of next
