African ape presents a great riding act, his mount being a small pony. There are educated cats donkeys and mules.
 In respect to the many ether arts that go to make a great circus per-
 formance, this show takes first place, having on it's list of stars the world s best talent. There are riders acrobats, clowns. acrialsts and tum- hlers from every country on the face of the earth. Each artist has his own individual characteristics to distinguish him. There is not a mo- ment during the three hours of the show that is not occupied in the pre- sentation of some novelty that has engaged the attention of European circus goers very recently. The fore noon parade is the marvel of circus experts. It is pronounced the most costly and extravagant street equip ment ever displayed by any show. The menagerie, too, is new. It cost $1 ,00O,000

EVIDENCES OF
 CENSUS PADDING
Director Durand Issues Statement in Which He Shows How Suspected Districts are Inyestigated-
 Many Instances of Padding.

Washington, Oct. 21-Census Di 'ec- tor Durand has issued a statement with reference to methods employed by the census bureau in Investigating the possibility of padding of the population returns, there having been opinions expressed in some of the Western cities that the incredulity at the enormous increases shown was the only ground for investigation
 It is needless to say,' says Di- rector Durand in his statement, that the census bureau would not for a moment think of eliminating names from the schedules merely because of this office Investigation In every case where such investigation indi- cated sufficient ground for suspicion competent men have been sent from Washington to investigate locally.
 Such men have interviewed the supervisors, specsal agents and emu merators who took the census, as well as others in the community and have made a house to house canvass in the suspected districts. In many cases they have found that the emu nreration of the suspected dist jets was entirely correct, but in a con- siderable number of other cases they have found clear evidence of ''pad- ding of one kind or another"

RAISING MONEY FOR CHARITY
Man Who Makes Speciality of Getting Funds Declares Newspaper
 Is Best Medium.

The newspaper is the best adver- Using medium in existence, declares G. w. Johnson. an advertising ex- pert of Buffalo, N. Y., who makes a speciality of raising large sums of money for charitable purposes in short spaces of time. MT. Johnson relies entirely upon advertising to accom- plish his ends In ten days he raised $300,000 to build Y. M. c. A. for Buff falo. In published interview he says among other things:
 The newspaper is the best thing there is in advertising, because 1t reaches the home. It stands in ex- actly the same relationship to the com munity as does the physician to his patients or the clergyman to his con- gregation. In local advertising campaign the home must be reached All articles in a home are advertised. of course, and the women of this country do more than 90 per cent of the general buying for the home. The newspaper reaches the women, there by placing before them the good quail ties or new ideals of the article adver- tised
 Every newspaper naturally has some standing in the community through which it's circulation carries 1t. Take for example, a newspaper of the very highest type, proportion so the standing of the paper. In other words, a newspaper gives to its adver- Using its own standing"

CIRCUS FULL OF NOVELTIES,
Wonderful Animal Acts Prominent Feature of FOrepaugh.Sells
 Brothers Show.

When the Great Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Big United Shows visit Pine Bluff, on Monday, No. (. people will be given an opportunity of seeing the greatest trained animal features ever introduced by any cir GUS since the beginning of time.
 In one of these numbers the three rings are occupied at one time by the fifteen best trained elephants in the world. The big beasts have learn- ed to play tunes that are not at all simple of sets of Swiss bells. At one time they form themselves into three mighty pyramids. The ;uppermost elephant is twenty feet from the ground. During this formation 15 trained dogs enter the ring Each perches itself on the uplifted trunk of an elephant. It is a novel and pretty sight.
 The sixty-one horse act is the head line attraction among the animal dis plays. They perform at one time in a single ring without any human guidance other than the music of the band, from which they take the cues for their many changes and forma- tons. They execute all sorts of inc tricate dance figures and tableaux. waltz on their hind legs, going through all the marches and counter marches of a comic opera chorus with the same exactness and unity of movement. They do their act on a circular platform of six steps. They bow in acknowledgment of applause and then enter and leave the ring unattended by grooms or trainers. They know as we'll as anybody when , their act begins and ends.
 Captain Webb's two troupes ot trained seals and sea lions are an- other wonderful achievement. These remarkable animals. by some myster. ious system of teaching, have master ed all the arts known to the best of human circus performers. They are better balancers, acrobats, equil- florists and jugglers than any mar who ever lived. They toss balls oi all sizes into the air and catch then on their noses. They juggle firt brands. They ride horses. They wall tight wires. They play on string in struments. They operate teete' boards, ride on velocipedes and skil the rope.
 Many other trained animals witl this show perform feats that caus' people to open their eyes in wonder There are educated pigs and big ia ], geese. There is company of fo, terriers that play football. A bi,

RAILROAD WRECK
 CLOSED BIG MIL!

A slight wreck on the Pine Bluff and Western railroad yesterday morn ing, was a very small consequence to the railroad, but was sufficient to hold the main mill of the Sawyer & Austin Lumber Company at stand still for few hours. The Little Rock and Hot Springs Western train, due to arrive in this city at 10:30 a. m., was delayed for about four hours, by one of the box cars be- ing derailed, and this blocked the line fer other traffic.
 The log train of the Sawyer & Aus tin Lumber Co. which operates be- tween the city and the camp short distance from the city, over the L. R. & H. s. w. tracks, was making trip to this city with a load of logs for the mill, when it ran on to the Hot Springs train with a derailed car at Junet. Before the car was righted and traffic resumed, the mill was forced to shut down on account of i aving no logs. The Hot Springs train reached this city about o'clock and departed on the return trip about 2:30.

DEMENTED MAN
 RECOVERS MEMORY

After spending over five months in the county jail in this city, Tom Tout a young white man was released Wednesday afternoon by Sheriff c. M Philpot, he having recovered from his unbalanced mental state sufficiently to take care of himself. Tout was taken in charge here on April 5, of this year, at the Union Station. He had a ticket to St. Louis and $28 in money at the time he was taken in. He was examined and committed to jail by Magistrate w. D. Vance. L Tout was not violent in his dement, 7d state, but was considered incapable of taking care of himself. He has just realized where he was and at the same time much of hfs past life has been revealed to him. It was found that he is making his way to Chicago where his home is and where he has 2 sister.
 The BPS was returned to him We'd nesday when he was given his free dom, and after purchasing clothes with it, he left Wednesday afternoon for St. Louis Sheriff Philpot ad- yanced him the money to buy a ticket, his former ticket having cx- pired.

CATHOLIC PAPER
 WILL SOON ISSUE
Monsignor Lucey Disposes of Nearly all the Stock in Company That Viii
 Publish Paper at the Capital.

Monsignor J. M. Lucey, of Pine Bluff, who has been travelling over the state during the summer months disposing of the 400 $25 shares in the Catholic paper which is to be publish ed in Little Rock, was ill Little Rock last night and stated he had all of the stock sold but about 60 shares. Monsignor Lucey could have sold all the stock the first day had he desr ed to place it all with one man, but this is not what he wants, desiring to sell each man but one share, conse- quently the disposition of 340 shares is a mighty task and a good summer s work. Monsignor Lucey states he has no idea when the publication of the paper will commence, but he ex- poets it will be about the first of the year. The name of the paper will probably be the Arkansas Guardian, though the name has not been off eially passed upon by the members of the committee.

"FOR LICENSE" BY
 MORE THAN 600

The Graphic has received several requests to publish the vote on the liquor question, cast at the election last Monday. The Graphic has made several efforts to get the official vote of this city and county, but the election commissioners have not com pleted their work and will probably not be able to get the total for two or three days. As soon as the re- suits are made known the Graphic will publish the votes cast in every contest. It is estimated, however, that the count thus far shows For License" to have carried in this county by more than six hundred ma jority.
