Elephant Ladies' Taboo Head oi
Herd, Press Agent Says.
Kongo. said to be the biggest ele-
plant In captivity, and the head OF
the herd of elephants coming to Mar
shalltown with the Yankee Robinson
circus. July Q, has put himself In
bad with his several elephant wives
and the animal world OF the circus
In general.
He has been q devoted husband
ana has taken unusual interest In
teaching the ladies of his harem to
help him push the heavy animal dens
into place in the menagarie top and
to work In comical circus tricks with
him, but from now on the ladies viii
stay at home while Kongo does the
heavy work alone and when they so
into the arena to perform circus
stunts, Kongo win no moro be there.
They have gone on q strike because
he was caught flirting desperately
with Theda, the beautiful leopard
lady, who walks tho tight rope In
tho circus.
On several occasions Kongo was
caught red handed" chucking Theda
under the chin with his trunk. on
each occasion that tho elephant
ladies caught him he got his cars
boxed, but that didn't seem sufficient
punishment or else Kongo thought
tho broad smiles Of Theda more
necessary to his happiness than the
good graces OF his elephant ladies'
Last week Kongo opened tho den
in which Theda lives and invited
her to take ride on his back.
Theda did. Tho other leopards and
their cousins were horrif,ed to think
that one Of their species would
break the conventions OF good
leopard society by such conduct and
put up a terrible howl, the elephant
ladies broke their foot chains ana
started In hot pursuit after their
husband and his leopard vampire.
Trainers and animal keepers
rushed to the aid of Kongo and sue
ceeded in getting him into tent and
coaxing Thedn into a shifting den
before the elephant ladies caught up
with the echase ana any damage was
done.
Kongo returned to his harem and
has been severely punished by all the
members OF the elephant family who
take particular delight In cutting
his ears and pelting his sides with
their trunks.
Kongo will lead his herd Of ele-
pha nts in the parade and will be seen
In novel and startling circus acts
with tho children Of the elephant
family but the elephant ladies will
perform alone In the afternoon and
night performances with doors OPEN
ing at ana I p. m.--Advertisement.

Wag Demonstrates
Need Of Cleaning
The City Streets

Combining love Of fun with SER
ious intent, u joker demonstrated
Thursday to the city council the need
OF street cleaning md got beneficial
results with surprising speed. The
joke, however. was not 80 funny to
CHARLES Stepan and patrons OF his
store. who We're subjected to an I'M
expected and unwelcofne shower
bath.
During the summer, dirt near the
intersection Of Main and Center
street has acted az q dam to water
following every shower and tho ac-
emulation of mud, and trash had so
cIogged the catch basin at the inter
section that drainage was impossible.
Following the rain Of Wednesday
night the pool at tho curbing on the
north side of Main street had reached
tho proportions of small lake. and
tho happy wag obtained bamboo
fish pole to which he attached q line
and improvisod hook, which was
carefully set, apparently for the pur-
pose OF obtaining n whale or deep
sea monster, the line dangling idly in
tho mu'atto colored water. Later a
cake Of Ice was launched on the
waves and floated about until the
hot rays of tho sun melted It away.
Tho fish pole and line and the Ice
berg caught tho eye Of the business
man as he went to work and sent
him to his desk with a happier
counten,lnce than was his wont. The
display also caught the eye Of ono OF
the colncilmen who immediately
grasped the situation and awakened
to the need OF moro careful alton
ton to the condition OF the streets.
A street gang was summoned with
a fire hose under orders to flush the
catch basin ana clean tho intersec-
ton. The gang, with due promptt-
tude but with a poor conception OF
direction pointed tho hose northward
but VITA the nozzle at too great an
elevation. Tho man at tho fire plug.
perhaps, was a trifle too eager to see
the water squirt and released the
stream before the nozzle was lowered.
A sheet Of water, with considerable
pressure behind 1t. shot thru the open
door Of the Stepan drug store
drenching three or four employees and
customers ana sent a cooling stream
over the candy cases.
The street gang promptly noticed
tho mistake in direction. the hose
nozzle was lowered and soon the
catch basin was flushed. permitting
the impromptu lakes contents TO
dripple down the iron grating.

of st. Louis has to say about Con-
gresham Dyer losing the support of
the white "gop" voters on the Twelfth
Congressional District:
"The white Republicans of the
Twelfth Congressional District of st.
Louis, numbering 1000, are up in arms
in opposition to the reelection of
Congressman l.. G. Dyer for the rea-
son that he announced few days ago
that in the future he would only name
negroes for West Point honors. In
the district there are 1000 negro
voters. The district generally goes
Republican by 5000, solely owing to
this heapy Ethiopian pote. The white
Republicans declare that next Novem-
Der they will defeat Dyer by 5000 for
reelection through voting the Dem
ocratic ticket.
Congressman Dyer put his negro
program into force by naming Richard
A. jackson, st. Louis negro youth,
to take the West Point admission ex-
animation. All white Republican ap-
plicants for the honor were coldly
turned down. II the negro passes the
examination the next roar will come
from the West Point Academy stu
dents who declare they will go on
strike if he is admitted"

McJimsey DOdges Prohibition Issue.
McJimsey, Republican candidate for
Governor, was asked the following
question by the st. Louis Star:
"Did John Schmoll, chairman of the
st. Louis Republican Committee, pro-
perly represent your views when in
saying he intended to support your
candidacy for Governor of Missouri
he ascribed as his reason the state
ment that you were "wet"--in other
words, that you were against prohi-
bition?"
Evading a direct reply to the ques-
ton, McJimsey dictated the following
answer:
81 don't consider it any part of the
duties of Missouri's Chief Executive
to take the initiative in question Ike
that of prohibition, or to interfere in
any way in the final determination Of
that question. This should be done
by the people, acting either through
the legislature or through the initia-
tive and referendum. If the prohibit
ton amendment is declared by the
courts unconstitutionally, and l am
elected Governor, l shall favor such
laws, and the enforcement thereof, as
the people Of Missouri themselves, or
through their legislative representa-
tives, shall enact to insure proper reg
ulation Of the liquor business and pub
lie law and order"
Negro for Congressman in st. Louis.
Congressman L. G. Dyer of the st.
Louis Twelfth Congressional District
has jumped from the frying pan into
the fire in his effort to be renominated
at the August primary. After losing
the support of 1000 white "gop" vot-
ers of the district through an attempt
to gain the united support Of 11,000
negro voters by the selection of a ne
gro for West Point honors and the an
nouncement that in future he will
name only negroes to take that ex-
animation from his end of st. Louis,
the leading negroes of the district
have decided to back and support a
negro candidate for the congressional
nomination at the August primary.
The Globe-Democrat, the chief Re-
publican organ, not alone of st. Louis,
but also Missouri, narrates this mourn
full black fact in the following Ian
guage under the caption of: NEGRO
to run against Congressman Dyer;
Rev. VIM. A. Venerable, Dean Lin
coln-Lee Institute, announces his cam
didacy.
"Rev. VIM. Venerable, negro, dean
of Lincoln-Lee Institute, school for
negroes recently organized, will be-
come a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Congress in the
Twelfth Missouri District against
| Congressman L. C. Dyer, according to
F. S. Williams, secretary Of Venera-
ble's Organization Committee.
"The fight of faction Of negro Re-
publicans in the Twelfth District
against Dyer grew out of the election
of Dyer to membership upon the Re-
publican State Committee to succeed
the late Gus Frey, place which Ju-
Illus M. We'll, State Committeeman
from that district and other negro
leaders demanded be given to negro.
II Negro Given West Point Honors.
