The Al O. Barnes' Big Three Ring Wild Animal Circus arrived in Pendle ton early this morning for two per formances here today. As usual a large "reception" committee was at the depot to welcome the showmen. The first wagon to be unloaded af ter the cars had been parked on the railroad siding was the Xo. 1 kitchen van. Napoleon said that an army moves on its stomarh and the same may be said of a great American cir cus.

The key note of a large circus lies in the word system. Every man appeared to know just what to do. There were no halts or perplexing delays. Three years ago while the Al G. Barnes circus was exhibiting in Washington, D. C, army officers were detailed to watch the process of un loading circus trains and the erections of the tents. They came away de claring that they had never before witnessed anything quite so syste matic and were astonished with the machine-Uke precision with which the parts o the circus organization work ed, The first part of the circus program was the parade. Promptly at 10: SO o'clock this morning the glittering, gorgeous pageant of the Al G. Barnes circus left the show grounda What was particularly pleasing was the freshness and newness of the costly den9 and chariots. The animals all appeared sleek and fat following a winter of rest and looked good nat uredly from behind the bars. The parade was one of the most pleasing ever seen in this city and more than delighted the thousands of people who lined the streets and curbing. Following the street parade the show grounds just south of Round- Up, became the Mecca for a large contingent. Before the big show be gan the side show "orators" waxed eloquent and not a few small boys and big ones, too, fell victims to the seductive flow of talk as the wondery just on the inside of the canvas was told of in glowing terms. Promptly at 1 o'clock the doors to the big show were thrown open. For on hour students of nature had op portunity of viewing one of the larg est collections of wild animals ever seen in this city. For thirty minutes before the big show began a concert of popular and classic music was hen dered by a concert band under the di rection of Prof. E. F4. Markham. Shortly after 2 o'clock the big show began. For two hours the spectators who packed the huge tent viewed the performance which was entirely dif ferent from the average circus. Wild animals form the feature of the Al G. Barnes circus and while many of the regular circus features remain the performance for the most pat was given by the denizens of the forest and jungle under the direction of two score celebrated animal trainers. With two rings, a hippodrome track and a massive steel arena filled at all times with acts the performance proved to be a very kaleidoscope of bewilder ment, thrills and fun. It was truly a wonder show and more than de lighted the large audience. Another performance will be given tonight at g o'clock for the benefit of those who could not attend this af ternoon. The doors will be nened at 7 o'clock. SUFFRAGETTE INITIATIVE IN MO Women's Club Starts Move to Submit .AiiKMiumciu u voters. Jefferson City, Mo.

When John Ha gner, a well-known German farmer living southeast of the city, came to the county treasurer's office to pay his taxes, he was surprised- to learn that, so far as the records were con cerned, he did not own a fine 200 acre farm, which he had been tilling for a number of years. In fact, there was nothing on the records to show that he owned any land at all, and no taxes were charged up against him. An investigation was started, and after some time a peculiar situation was discovered. Some time ago Hag ner decided to make a will so as to provide for the future of his four children after he was dead and gone.
