ments, when the new Backman-
Tinsch two-ring wild animal circus
comes to the city July 23 for one day
only, afternoon and night, and to its
credit everyone will concede the pro-
gram for extreme novelty is I'M
equaled in thrilling wild animal train
ing.
This organization is a well-known
enterprise in all the largest cities
and now for the first time will de-
vote it's endeavors to all sizes of
cities and towns, giving the same
high-class entertainment at every
place where the big tents are erected.
This enterprise is calculated to
please every admirer of wild and do
nestle animal training, and is par
ticularly pleasing to the children and
the laCScs, for when the management
pays particular attention, and where
they are as safe and comfortable as
at lecture, or in their own home.
A big thrilling lion act by skilled
trainer is one of the features, inter
spersed with all kinds of stratling and
dangerous performances, in a long
and praiseworthy program.
For the children and all the little
ones, this management has made
such special provision and attractive
arrangements that they will never
forget the pleasant visit to the big
Backman-Tinsch Wild Animal Circus,
for during the visit to this clean,
clever and well conducted enterprise
all the little folks will be invited to
ride and play with the educated
ponies, the little horses and complete
a full days enjoyment.

memory, both at Liberal and at In
dianapolis, are Sweet reminders of
the love and esteem in which he was
held by all who knew him. The many
attentions of the Rock Island round
house men were especially appreci-
ated on account of our boys great
interest in railroad work, and the
many courtesies always extended to
him while among the men.

RAIL EMPLOYEES MUST NOT
WORK OVERTIME ANY MORE

Railroad employees failing to COM
ply with the governments hours OF
service law will be dealt with by the
interstate commerce commission
which announces it will prosecute
for violations.
The director general of the rail-
roads had contended that the rail-
road administration wished to mete
out punishment, "fire" disobedient
employees, or otherwise dethrone
them. The interstate commerce COM
mission was opposed to such action.
The law means that Mr.. Con-
ductor and Mr.. Brakeman must not
work over sixteen hours at stretch
at train service nor Mr.. Telegrapher
over eight hours unless they wish to
become entangled in heavy lawsuits.
Time was when railroad officials
were held responsible for their en-
ployes failing to make proper obser-
vance of the orders passed by Con-
gress referring to hours of service,
safety. appliances and inspection.
But the old orders of things "hath
changed" and now railroad employees
are thrown entirely on their own re-,
sponsibility to see that they are not
working overtime nor riding on
trains not properly equipped with
safety devices.

The action of the conference was
telegraphed to Governor Allen from

The conference pronouncement,

belt is such that everyone who can
must aid in saving the crop.
