ACT WITH 81 HORSES
IN CIRCUS FRIDAY

A wonderful exhibition of animal
training in which slxty-one horses
are seen performing in a single ring
without any human guidance what
soever, is this season one of the spe-
cial features of the Great Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Bros Big Uni
ted Shows which will visit Perth
Amboy on Friday, June 10.
To explain all the wonderful
things these animals do would be
challenging the credulity of the pub
lie. Their accomplishments seem
almost physical impossibility. The
company Of equine thoroughbreds
performs on a circular platform OF
six steps. waltzing, piroutting, walk
ing on their hind feet and execut-
ing all Of the intricate figures of a
comic opera chorus. They take the
cues for their many changes from
the music OF the band, working IN
perfect unison and without human
being near them except their train
er, who stands near at hand to now
and then prompt them by a spoken
command. No trained horse special.
ty of the past can in any way com
pare with this spectacular and truly
marvellous performance.
The trained animal features are
one Of the wonders of this years
program. There is new elephant
act in which three herds are seen
at one time in three rings. There
are pigs that skip the rope and play
lon musical Instruments; zebras
llamas and camels that do remark
able things in one big act; dogs that
originate acts for themselves, and q
donkey that rides velocipide.

of the new railroad law as 1t is ex-'

the commission is authorized upon itn

increases in rates. The commission
will be empowered TO suspend the

NEW JERSEY is
IN FAVOR OF
A DIRECT VOTE.
(From re NEWS Correspondent.

Washington, June 7:-While the
different candidates are beginning to
line up for the United States sena-
torial contest next winter in New
Jersey 1t is worthy of note that the
New Jersey legislature three years
ago passed joint resolution in favor
of the election of the United States
senators by direct vote of the people.
United States Senator Owen, of
Oklahoma, In making a speech on
the subject, called attention to this
fact, and he quoted the joint reso-
luton in full, duIRng the course of
his remarks. The resolution was ap-
proved May 28, 1907, and was at
tested by S. ID. Dickinson, secretary
of state, under date of November 25,
1907.
The resolution quoted was as fol-
lows:
Resolved, by the senate and gem
eral assembly of the State OF New
Jersey, under authority of Article 5
OF the constitution of the United
States, application is hereby made to
congress to forthwith call a constitu-
tlonal convention for the purpose of
submitting to the states for ratiffca-
ion an amendment to the federal
constitution providing for the cleo
ton OF United States senators by
direct vote of the people;
Resolved, that the secretary of
state be, and is hereby directed to
forward a properly authenticated
copy OF these resolutions to the
| President of the United States, to
| the president of the senate, and to
the speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States.''
1t has been brought out that the
House of Representatives has on
| four separate occasions passed by a
tWo-thirds vote a resolution propos-
ing an amendment to the constitu-
tion providing for the election of the
United States senators by direct vote
of the people. But while the House
is disposed to yield to the demands
of the people, as expressed through
the various legislatures, the senate,
thus far, has ignored them, and SO
year after year passes by and the
matter makes no progress.
1t is interesting to note that while
this matter Is still in abeyance Ed
ward G. Stokes, candidate for the
nomination for United States senator
In New Jersey, is doing the next best
thing to being elected by the people
Since this is not possible, at present

Tuesday in Glenwood and Wednesday
morning returned to his home, taking
with him his son. Raymond who has

High school this winter. This change
was made on the advice of physician
who believes that Raymond cannot con
tinue his studies through the year, ow
ing to his nervous condition.
Raymond. who is in the twelfth
grade this year is bright and studi-
Gus young man, but he is not very
rugged physically and the strain on his
nervous system has been so great that
his parents have decided that he can
not keep up the close application long

health in the future.

must give up his school work and take
rest at this time, but he says he will

R. NJ. HEDDEN PASSES HENCE

Just before the hour of midnight
Tuesday the spirit of Robert M. He'd

The news of Judge Hedden' s demise

that the end was very near. In Sep

when one of his old friends seemed

because of feeling that he would not

he had been elected, and so it proved.

fell across the bed which held her sick
mother and expired instantly.
Carrying and waving in the air the

out the life of the one whom he had
so recently promised to love, cherish
and protect, Pub started for the hills,
coming in the direction of GlenwooI
and every little while firing shot in
the direction of the camp. The terror
stricken residents were thus prevented
from following the murderer and ne

Sheriff Divelbiss and Undersheriff
Howard both went down to the camp
shortly after the news was received
in Glenwood and. with a number of
volunteers started in pursuit of Pub
but late in the evening the posse track
ed the fellow to the edge of the Grand
river ana there on the rocks at the
edge of the water found what was said
to be his hat.
Taking it for granted that the man
had committed suicide by jumping in
the river the officers abandoned the
chase and came home. While it NAV be
true that Pub drowned himself the
people of South Canon do not believe
in that theory and the opinion prevails
that he has now made his getaway,
perhaps through the assistance of con
fcderates. Some think he is perhaps
IN Wyoming at this time while others
hold to the theory that he is not far
from Glcnwood, hidden and protected
by some of his countrymen.
The body of Mrs. Pub was brought
TO Farnum' S and the funeral held Tues
day afternoon from the Catholic church.

certainly a very sad affair, the father
being frantic with greif and the mother
being confined to her bed in the little
