Mr. Cruce was born on a farm five

The recent election which brought
about the terrible and humiliating de-
feat OF the saloon advocate in this
state. taught 4 lesson which the aver
age citizen would 10 well not to over

saloon forces that municipality
should be left to regulate the sale OF
liquor independent of the farmer, or
the citizen who resides out side of the
city limits. that this matter is by right
Within the province of the city, and
should be controlled alone by it,
Hence. in submitting the local option

pared was in line with that argu-

sehoelboys Duplicated Feat of Circus
Man In Kansas City.
The rare feat OF making a double
back somersault, which was done for
the first time only a short while ago
By circus man In Kansas City, was
repeated the other evening by two
high school boys In the Columbia gym
nasium at New York. Gustav Bojus,
the coach of the Columbia gymnasts,
brought the two boys along with him
when he came up to direct the collie
gians in their work.
The first boy to try the stunt was
Albert Quinn, sixteen years old, who
comes from the Jersey City high
school. He is five feet tall and weighs
135 pounds. He put on a leather belt
to which were attached ropes, held
lightly for safety's sake, by Mr.. Bojus
and Samuel Neither, one Of the Co
umbia team. Quinn did the trick
two or three times from the floor and
then performed 1t from a springboard.
The other boy, Edmund Mills of
Pratt institute, in Brooklyn. then took
turn. BE is eighteen years old.
Mills did the trick more Clearly than
Quinn, but he, too, made use of the
belt, and ropes. Later on he did it
from the springboard.
