RINGLINGS' GREAT CIRCUS HAS A FINE MENAGERIE Every representative of strange animal Ufa 1 to be found under the menagerie tent of Ringllng Bros. circus, which will give two exhibitions In Omaha. The coU lection cost over $1,000,000. It is an open library of natural science from which all may 'read. Here are given a few of the strange facts of animal life that can be learned: A giraffe has no vocal organs and can utter no sound. Its hind feet are not shorter than Its front feet, as some sup pose. It can go longer than a camel without food or water. A hippopotamus exudes blood from Its pores when It I aagxy-.. An elephant does not smell with Its trunk. Far back in the roof of its mouth are two nostrils. It has to put things Into Its mouth before it ean de termine whether they are fit to eat. The SoothAfjica'n, wart. hog. or vlak vaark, has 'warts on It nose only during times of plenty. When food is carce the warts disappear. There are two distinct leath er on every quill in the" emu' back. The heTgfif" of an ' elephant can be told by measuring . Its .foot. ... Twice around the animal's foof at the ground Is Its height. This rule never falls. ; ' The- "baby colony". Is Another feature of the toologlcal display. It is creating great Interest especially among the younger, set of amusement patrons. It Is fenced off into a department by Itself. In It are to be seen many tiny and amus ing specimens of animal Infancy, It costs nothing! extra to se this Interesting ex hibit 'In 'itself Jt Is 'worth the price of admittance many times over.

Key to the Situation-Bee Advertising. Noncommissioned officers of the Wood men of the World, now In camp at Krug park, may enter the competitive drills today and Saturday with their ehevrons off. Six shiny gold medals, each of much Intrinsic value, will be awarded the win ner in this competition and the judges, two from Fort Crook and one from Fort Omaha, will knock off credits enthuslas tically from the man who wears the In signia of the noncom and make mis takes. This news was noised about the camp yesterday afternoon and consternation followed fast upon the tidings. Colonel C. L. Mather's comfortable blue and white striped tent was soon besieged by corporals, sergeants, lieutenants and even captain. They declared that If It were true they would put the noncoms next to the advisability of ripping off the chevron, pro tens. Colonel Mather has promised the cap tains that if there Is anything to say lie will announce It before the drills begin The captains have promised Colonel Mather there will be no ripping of chevrons until the lateness of the hour make It Imperative. Tailors' bills, they assert, are too steep to warrant any recklessness. The point Is not covered In the regulations and none of the veterans at the camps feel like passing on it Exeeatlre Officer Visit. Major General John T. Yates of Omaha Brigadier General T. E. Patterson of Chattanooga, Colonel E. D. Campbell of Port Huron and Colonel William Ruess of Cleveland paid an unofficial visit to the camp yesterday afternoon. They were much pleased with the order that is main tained and the ardor with which the men are enjoying tb vacation. .At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the entire regiment was marched by companies to Colonel Mather's tent and formed In a hollow square about the flagpole. To the shrill sound of . a bugle Old Glory shot up to the top of the pole, the uniformed men standing to attention. General Yates addressed the regiment briefly at the conclusion of the flag rals- ing exercises. He welcomed them to the camp and said he hoped they would en Joy (he vacation and that the rest of tne people would be glad they had come and sorry when they left. Pat Throagh Hard Drills. For nearly two hours In the afternoon the men, some of them sweating In khaki coat and tight-strapped leggings, were drilled in the park. They were put through every drill while a critical photographer made motion pictures of the scene. This drill was in preparation for the competitive drills. The gold medals win be tor Individual work and the high-up officers will be barred from the contest. Medals will also be bestowed upon the privates who make the best record for discipline while in camp. All medals will be awarded Saturday at the conclusion of the drills. Each company has been permitted to appear in any uniform that pleased the captain's humor, 1ut the regiment turned out -at sundown last' night for-the first dress parade. The first regimental band Of Benson furnished the music and the maneuvers were successfully executed be fore a large crowd. If the Woodmen of the World should become Imitators of the "Father of His Country", in bs youth there are enough glittering axes In, the camp to cut down Krug forest in ah. hour but the axes are for ornament only. They are made of aluminum, very pretty, not heavy and precisely1 suited to the purpose for which they're used. Caretakers at the park looked askance at this exhibition of hardware at first, but they have learned that It Is of no avail to exhort the more awkward "Woodmen to spare that tree.".. Instead they warn: "Woodman, you'll spoil that ax." .. Military discipline Is x -being , strictly maintained. - Orders have gone out that boose nibst be shunned as deadly poison, light must be doused when taps sound at 11 o'clock and the lasiest or most weary man must rise at the sound of reveille at 6 a. m. Guard House Stands Empty. In one corner ot the camp a white tent stands silent and forbidding. That Is, it is forbidding if you know it is the guard house. ' Colonel. Mather says none of the Wood men have as yet merited Incarceration In this dungeon, but the first Infraction of the rigid discipline will be punished properly. Privates, however, show no Inclination to break discipline, but Instead have been eo-operating with the officers in the work of making Camp Omaha a model of militarism. Electrlo Lights, Real Dishes. In one way Camp Omana nas it on the usual military camp, pitched In some re mote place where a candle and a piece of hardtack are luxuries. The Woodmen of the World eat from real dishes, drink milk If they want it instead of coffee and above their tables electric lights glimmer. However, the electric lights do not glim mer in each separate tent. Only the tents of the officer have been provided with the Incandescent The occupants of the other tents must cross their legs kid fashion and play poker or shoot craps by the light of a candle..

Thompson, at one time attorney general of the state of Nebraska, but now con nected with the legal department of the government at Washington, was a visitor at the state house today. Mr. Thompson Is confident that President Taft will be elected. He thinks that sentiment Is al ready ohanglng In his direction and that when the campaign Is really on and the facts In his administration are placed be fore the public that they will discover that certain Interested people have gone out of their way to place the president before the people of the country in a wrong light. He says that the adminis tration of President Taft has been greatly beneficial to the country from a business standpoint. Very few people outside of those who come In personal contact with the business affairs of the administration realize Just how much President Taft has done. : " ' : " "He has gone quietly about his business and accomplished things without adver tising it and the people of the country little know how much he has done for the country through his hard work to do business in a way that would produce re sults," said Mr. Thompson. "As just one thing," continued Mr. Thompson, "to show you how ' he has conducted the department I am in, I will state that I have under my charge the collection ot revenues and tariffs. In con nection with the legal department relat ing to cases where there is a chance to lose out If the thing Is not closely watched. In the last three years and three months of the administration pre ceding that of President Taft the col lections from this source were $500,000. In the same length of time under President Taft the collections from the same source have been $6,000,000. This is Just one in stance to show you how the affairs of the government are watched and how th president demands and receives results. "These things, never get Into print," said he, "because President Taft Is not an advertiser. He does things and lets It go at that. When the people fully un derstand President Taft. which I think they will before this campaign is. over, you will see him Just as popular with the poople on election day as he seems to be unpopular now. In the words of a cer tain man, 'You can fool some of the peo ple part of the time, . but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.'

BANK ROBBERS GET AWAY WITH ALL MONEY IN SIGHT VANCOUVER. July 2.-Two men, ap parently foreigners, late today entered the Northern Crown bank at Central Park, a suburb, overcame the manager and got away with all the money In sight, amounting to $1,500. One of the highway men felled the manager, C. C. Temple, and the office boy, Frank Thompklns, with a "Jimmy" while the second bandit held at bay three clerks. The robber then entered the cage, took all the cur rency In sight, called to his accomplice to follow and both Jumped Into a waiting buggy and drove towards the river. All available police took up the chase. Five hundred mu, women and chil dren, all members of the Elks lddge and their families, spent the afternoon and evening picnicking and dancing at Sey mour park at Ralston yesterday. The occasion was the annual picnic of the local Elks lodge. Special cars, chartered by the lodge, were busy between Omaha and Ralston from 2 o'clock In the after noon until midnight, carrying the plea sure seekers to the scene of action. During the afternoon and evening boats wore In great demand and everywhere on the placid lake the silent crafts glided about with the happy parties. The small boys of the picnic did not miss the op. portunlty for a swim, and everywhere they dived and tumbled and shouted and splashed In the warm waters of Sey mour lake, while J., J. Ryder stood on the bank for a long period in th after noon shouting directions to the young' stars as to Just how to master the art ot "flshdom." The Athletic Events. The athletic events were rushed through between 8 and o'clock In the afternoon, it was announced that Mayor Dahlman would qualify for the fat man's race, but when the time came he calmly leaned against a tree, smoked his cigar and watched "Lucky" Baldwin carry off the honors in this evnt. The mayor did not enter any of the events. The novelty race, In which entries were re celved only in couples, a lady and a gen tleman, running hand in hand, was won by Mr. and Mrs. Relnbolt, while Miss Krenser and Oscar Lleben came In for a close second, une ooys ou-yara aasu was Won by Allen Hlgglns with Murray Estelle second. Miss Mary Myrtle Jones was not required to weigh in for the tat women's race, and the result was that she easily outdistanced her sisters of the greater weight, Mrs. Thorn bringing up second. Dan Butler and Oscar Lleben were So anxious for the prise In the three-legged race that they conspired and at the signal cut the cord that shackled their legs together and ran free of the re quired handicap. Their "wilful, malici ous ' and felonious tactics." however. were detected by loyal Elks, and they were promptly "bawled out" and publicly centured by the megaphone manipulator, and the race was decided in favor of R. L. Harris and G. H. Nelson. Dah for I.ittJ Ones. The 25-yard dash announced for the "little ones" was entered by ladles who could no longer be said to qualify under that term In its original meaning and Mies Mary Watt carried off first prise with Mrs. Relnbolt second. The 50-yard dash "free-for-all" might have been termed a "battle royal," Judging from the number of entries, and the resulting knock downs and pushovers that oc curred. When the race was over ladies. gentlemen and children were strewn over the field of battle in unshapely heaps where they had lost their footing on the slippery grass. The honors were carried away by Oscar Lleben, first, and K. M. Shoemaker, second. test of the ladles; The trick was to drive a nail into the end of an upright log with the least number of strokes of the ham mer. All "knockers" were permitted to enter. It took all the way from two to fifteen strokes to sock the nails to the head, and Mrs. Sommers took first hon ors with two strokes, while Mrs. 'Alex Reed took second place. , Immediately at the close of the "stunts", dinner was served In the club house and those who had made no res orvatlpns took their baskets Into the timber and enjoyed tnelr dinner In reai plcnlo style. Dancing was the order of the even ing and the stately "Elks" led the deli cate and graceful "does" through the mazes of waits, two-step and glide, un til the cup of the day's pleasure was quite full and all were content to return to their homes.
