RIsTINE TO WENTWORTH
Famous Captain of 1909 Tigers
Will Succeed Captain Till
man.

The management of Wentworth
has secured for next year the
services Of Rstine, who will be a
regular teacher and coach the
football team.
Captain Tillman announced
shortly after Christmas that he
desired to retire from the Went
worth faculty at the end of the
current year to seek a larger
field and the management inn
mediately set about finding a
suitable successor. This was no
easy task, as Captain Tillman had
shown himself to be without
doubt the greatest coach that
Wentworth had ever possessed.
Mr.. Ristine was the first man
thought of and negotiations were
begun with him. Last Saturday
satisfactory arrangements were
made and he was engaged for
the coming year.
Both Mr.. Ristine and Went
worth are fortunate in this mat
ter. Mr.. Ristine may well be
proud to get charge Of a team
with the record and reputation of
the red and white. In no city in
the state, with the possible ex-
ception of Columbia, is the work
of a good coach more appreciated
than in Lexington. Wentworth
is glad to secure an athlete so
proficient and well-known as Mr..
Ristme. He was the captain and
one of the best players on the
1909 Missouri team. He led the
S bunch that for the first time in
e years defeated a great team from
e Kansas. He received his last

TARIFF AFFECTS CIRCUS.
New Law Internationally Imposes Hard
ship on Tented Shows.

BARABOO, Wis, Feb. 22.-[Special.l
Attorney John M. Kelley is in Wash
ington in the interests of Ringing broth
ers, the circus men, who have been hard
hit by the new tariff.
Under the law as it stands all domes-
tic animals owned by circus must pay
the usual rates Of duty when reimported
into the United States. Some Of the
larger circuses carry about four hundred
horses. Although they are frequently
described on the bills as ''dashing Ara
bian steeds,'' most Of them are plain do
mestic horses from Texas or Oklahoma,
and as such are subject to tariff duties
when they seek to re-enter the United
States after a trip abroad.
It is estimated that big circus would
be put to an expense of upward of Sill
600 in duties for the privilege of includ-
ing a few Canadian cities in its summer
itinerary.
Congressman assert that they had no
thought of the circus when enacting the
present law.

WITH MOB AT CAIRO.

CAIRO, H., Feb. 21.-With 100 more
militiamen on the way to this city by
special train and with the people in a
sullen mood awaiting developments today
was expected to bring the strained situa
ton in Cairo to a head.
The grand jury this morning began in
vestigation of last Thursday nights riot
ing. The coroner's jury will conclude its
inquiry this afternoon. Adjt,-Gen. Dick
son has been subpoenaed to appear be-
fore the latter body. Accordingly the
conflict between the sheriff and the mill
tary will be given an airing.
Last night the officials were in constant
fear of an outbreak against the negroes.
AS result, the soldiers kept vigilant
eye on the entire city patrolling the streets
in drizzllng rain which for twenty-four
hours has done much to prevent people
from congregating.
The hunt for the supposed confederate
of John Pratt, the negro purse snatcher
whose robbery of two women preclpltated
thl present race trouble, is being con-
tinued today.
Go. II of Shelbyville. ordered out at
midnight last night, will arrive this aft,
ernoon, increasing the militia to total
of FIVE companies.

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 22-Because
of his relations to the publicity attending
the shortage of $4,000 in Big -Four rail
way funds, Frank NJ. Couden, deputy
surveyor and cashier in the office of the
local surveyor of customs, has been rec
commended for dismissal. This was ad-
mitted today by Amor Smith, Jr., the
surveyor, who said that he took the
initiative in the matter.
II felt that when Mr.. Couden admitted
that he had known of the shortage for
ten years and his further admission that
he had made a commercial transaction of
it by selling, or offering to sell his in
formation to the railroad officials, there
was no other course open to me for the
good of the SERVICE" said MIR. Smith.
Couden left here Friday night for
Washington on a leave of absence. He
is reported to have departed from the
capital the next day for New York. His
failure to appear at the customs office
