HIPPOPOTAMUS
PUT UP BIG FIGHT
when CAPTURED
Hagenbeck -WaIIace Circus,
Soon to Come to Omaha,
Boasts of Huge River
Horse.

When Hagenbeck- Wallace circus
comes to town on Monday. June 80,
at Twenty-first and Paul streets.
there will be on exhibition in the
menagerie the largest hippopotamus
ever brought to America. 1t reached
the circus few weeks ago and has
been given a place of honor among
the many other unusual specimens
of far eastern animal life. The huge
river horse was cought in British
South Africa by means of a pitfall
"a deep trench, the mouth of which
is covered by network of moss and
sticks to resemble the grassy earth.
When the animal took his fatal
plunge, he fought so ferociously that
it required 50 natives to drag him
from the dark hole and make a pris-
oner of him.
The children who visit the circus
will be delighted when they see the
cutest little jungle babies that ever
rolled out of the thicket, TO be pre-
else, however, they never saw
jungle, being captive-born lions and
used to city ways. They are little
balls of soft fur with bright, blink
ing eyes and playful paws. Their
mother. and proud beast she is,
watches her offspring zealously
Woe be to the yenturesome keeper
who seeks to pet these babies
through the bars of the cage Nam
ma is jealous beast and will brook
no interference in her domestic af-
fairs.
One of the institutions on the
Observation-Disclosures circus grounds
that attracts much attention is the
travelling post office. Probably no
other office in America is visited
daily by such cosmopolitan gather
ings. Harvey Johnson is the post
master of Wallaceville. He is we'll
fitted for the job, as he speaks
French, Spanish, Hindoostani and
Polish and knows enough Chinese,
Japanese, Portuguese and modern
Greek to make himself understood
in those tongues.

ond largest landholder in the Brit
ish Isles, having just added to his
estates by buying the most Of the
Island of Harris, comprising 100000

The only larger estate in the

OF the proletariat? Professional
proletarlans" ought not to be sur
prised if the despised and hated
"bourgeoisie'' is attempting to turn the
tables on them by borrowing the slogans
and methods of class warfare from the
inventors. Now this, is Just what the
bourgeoisie of Germany seem to be
doing; and seeing that the whole ideol-
ogy of "class struggle" is Of Gcrmanic
origin and fits the Teuton habit of di-
vding this world into watertight com
partments or "categories" admirably.
nobody need wonder at this latest turn.
1t may be said that to large extent
the German elections were fought on
this issue Of bourgeois class conscious
ness. behind which was looming the
double spectre Of Hohenzolern and
Spartacans. The straight-out reaction

Liberals) made the bogy Of "socializa-
ton work overtime to discrcdit the
revolution and to advocate, more or less
openly, the return to kaiserism. The
campaign literature of these parties con-
sists mainly of vtuperatons against the
Socialists, and the favorite weapon en-
ployed against the German Democratic
party, the bourgeois radicals, was to ac-
cuse them of being in accord with the
Majority Socialists. Thus a handful of
the National Peoples party, distributed

Gratis were "98 per cent socialistic," and
exhorted Prussians "to stand united for

In many Cologne, for instance
the Peoples party, the National party
and the Centrsts combined against the
Majority Socialists and the Democrats
and voted a joint ticket. A typical
"bourgeois call to arms" was sounded,
in behalf of this block, in an article by
DR.. Alfred Waller, published in the
"Kolnische Zeitung," under the caption,
Citizen. Awaken 1t contains passages
like these:
"The mistake of the Brest-Litovsk peace
allowed the poison of Bolshevik madness
to be injected into Germany's body, where
it penetrated all veins and arteries until
the failure of the final great offensive shat
tered the peoples last hope and effort.
Germany broke down. And on her ruins
arose madness mated with crime to destroy
everything that existed. OF stronger build
than the Russian people, the German ma
ton pulls itself together to shake off the
beast. But the high priests of socialist
salvation reach out arrogantly for supreme
power in the hour of Germanys collapse
after they for powers sake, have destroyed
Germany's strong wall Of defence. In their
crazy hope that their doctrines will unite
mankind in loving brotherhood they deliver

words Frank Bohn one of the leaders of

The belief is general that Kurt Eisncr
fell victim of a profoundly laid an
archist conspiracy, of which the young
Count Arco-Nalley merely acted as a tool.
Dispatches reporting the arrest at
Munich of Prince Leopold of Bavaria
and other junker leaders point in this
direction. And "Thc London Daily

Every few days the dictagramer

some technical requirement and fire.
quently he is asked to help in the fill
ing of complicated blanks, or the pre-
paration of affidavits, or to sign re-
comm enda tlons, or to write letters of
inquiry in connection with soldier ser
vice. 1t appears as if the government
wants to withhold the allotment unless
the soldier parent or relative is in
actual need of the money and very
naturally this makes the parent indig-
nant. He is apt to say or at least to

AN EDUCATIONAL CPLIFT.

We had the pleasure Of attending
the conference Of the County Super
intendenjs-elect at Charleston. w.
Va. April 8, 9 and 10, and we are
made to believe that the school sys-
tenn Of West Virginia will make great
progress if all the superintendent
will continue to take the enthusiastic
interest in building up the school
system during the next four years
that they gave to the study and dis
cusSion of the New School Code"
during the conference,
Fffty-two Coutny Superintendent
elect were present and several of the
retiring superintendent, District
Supervisors, officials of the different
departments of Free Schools, and
others who had to do with securing
the passage of the New School
Code" This was by far the best at
tendence conference of this nature
has ever had in West Virginia and
ought to speak we'll for the men upon
whom so much will depend for build
ing up the school system Of our state
The New School Code, was taken
up paragraph by paragraph and dis
cuSsed, each superintendent with a
copy of the law in his hands as
text book, making notes of the rem
dering of the law and Of the State
Superintendent decisions, etc..
which ought to be Of great help to
the Superintendent in carrying out
the provisions Of the law in building
up the school system.
Now to the Bords Of Education of
Greenbrier County and to all teach
ers and patrons concerned in build
ing up our school system 1 wish to
say, that as your servant l need your
cooperation in trying to keep up
the educational progress of our
county to the high standard Of our
present faithful and earnest County
superintendent ami to do our best
to grow under the new conditions
that will arise under a new school
law. In this capacity we hope that
every officer, teacher, and patron
will try to do his duty toward the
education Of the boys and girls of
Greenbrier.
Yours for service,
