enthusiasm Into the lodge member
ship and started the log rolling In the
right direction. As manager of the

of their own. "

HERO OF THE MERRIMAC AND
CONGRESSMAN FROM ALA. ,
DISPLEASED WITH CONGRESS.
Richard P. Hobson Scores John Sharp
Williams and Other Prominent Men
In the Democratic Party for Lack
of Patriotism.
Spokane , Wash. , April 9. CapL
Richmond Pearson Hobson , hero of
the Merrlmac and congressman from
Alabama , scored John Sharp Williams
and the other prominent men in the
democratic party in an Interview here
because of what he termed their un
warranted and 'unpatriotic action in
defeating the appropriation for four
battleships He said In part :
"We have given up hope of getting
four battleships this year. Wo made
a hard fight , but lost , and have to bo
contented with two ships. Next year ,
however , the fight will be renewed
and we will win. There was strong op
position from the element that Is an
tagonistic to the president , which I
think was radically wrong. It was
mainly on account of the inertia In
congress that we failed ; congress
could not realize the need of four
ships , but the people of the state of
Washington did and its three repre
sentatives voted for the bill.
"There is grave danger , that the
Pacific coast will some day need a
fleet that can be there all the time ,
and not be shifting from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and back again , leaving
one coast unprotected most of the
time. It is not right to give the Jap
anese a temptation such as an unpro
tected coast. War with Japan is as
sure as day. America Is far more de-
fenseles than China. With an Inferior
force In the Pacific ocean , we glvo
Japan a standing invitation to seize
the Philippines and Hawaii , raid the
Pacific coast and ultimately to Invade
the entire Pacific slope. "

BEGINNINGS OF CAMPBELL CIR
CUS LAID HERE.
HURLBURT & LEFTWICH SHOW.
Two White Ponies , Sleek and Dignifi
ed , are About All That Remains of
the Hurlburt & Lcftwlch Enterprise.
Hurlburt Burned to Death Here.
Did you Know that the antecedents
of Campbell Brothers' big circus ,
which entertained two Norfolk aud
iences Fiiday run right back to Nor
folk ? Did you know that the begin
ning of the Campbell circus was In
i way laid In Norfolk , thatf the Im
mediate predecessor of the Campbell
how was a Norfolk Institution ?
Two white ponies , sleek and digni
fied , walked down Norfolk avenue In
the Friday morning parade. They
were driven In tandem by a boy. The
two white ponies did not appear to
be a very important part of the long
swinging line , not to the man In the
street. But no part of the circus is
more tenderly regarded by the Camp
bells or any one long connected with
the show than the white ponies , for
they outdate all the rest of the circus
If the two old ponies could remem
ber and Norfolk avenue has not chang
ed too much in sixteen years , the
Norfolk surroundings Friday should
have suggested something familiar
The ponies are old Norfolk ponies.
They spent their winters In the Seller
barn which still stands on North
Third street. The ponies nearly a
score of years ago belonged to the
Hurlburt & Loftwlch circus , which
tnado its winter headquarters In Nor
folk.
folk.Tho
The older citizens of Norfolk will
recall the tragic death of Prof. Hurl-
hurt In the spring of 1891. He was
fatally burned while giving an exhibi
tion performance of the show in Nor
folk. Dick Loftwich went on with
the show. Before long he was virtu
ally stranded. He was down in Crete ,
Neb. , there the Camplcll brother )
took the show , a dog and pony show ,
off his hands , paying as they made
their money out of the business Left-
wlch stayed with the Campoells for
a short time.
The rest of the Campbell story Is
Nebraska history. At first It was an
overland wagon show. The number
of wagons increased. A tiny menag
erie was started The circus was put
on cars. It w. .s always a clean fair-
deal exhibition. Now it Is one of the
big shows of America.
Dick Ixjftwich left the circus years
ago , He never saw the circus again
until last season down in Burlington ,
Kan. There wasn't much left to re-
rognlzc but the old ponies , whose ago ,
by this time , must be well up In the
twenties.
The old white ponies , "Dick" and
"Mose" are all that is left of the first
outfit of the Campbell brothers.1 They
are the last bit of the Hurlburt & Leftr
wich circus of the days when a real
circus wintered in Norfolk.
And if Mose and Dick are still with
the living when the Campbell circus
next comes to Norfolk they may be
sure of receiving more attention than
was accorded them on their Friday
visit to their old home.
A TRAGEDY OF 1891.
Dr. Hurlburt , Forerunner of the Camp
bells , Burned to Death Here.
The presence In this city of the big
circus which sprang from the old Hurl
burt & Leftwlch shows of Norfolk
fame forces into mind the old story of
the death of Prof. Hurlburt in Norfolk
back In the spring of 1891. The story ,
so familiar to everyone living In Nor
folk In the early nineties , Is one of the
most dramatic tragedies in this city's
history.
Hurlburt was burned to death. The
accident which turned his clothing
into a mass of flames occurred before
an Invited audience of about a hundred
Norfolk people at an exhibition per
formance of the circus. A gasoline
lamp had been leaking. The show man
stepped up to correct It himself. Ho
stepped to his death.
Dr. Hurlburt , for he was a physician
as well as a showman , gave the lamp
a wrench. In an Instant he was
drenched in gasoline and his clothes
turned into a mass of flames. Throw
ing off his coat Hurlburt wrapped him
self in a piece of canvass. It did not
avail. Again ho was up and dashed
wildly about. Ho was caught and
overpowered. With difficulty the
flames were extinguished.
It was said at the time that the
showman would recover. Hurlburt
knew that he was going to die. Ho
was a doctor and he knew that ho had
breathed the flames Into his lungs.
The burns proved fatal.
A CIRCUS REUNION.
Dick Beswlck Knew Campbell Boys
Thirty-odd Years Ago.
The Campbell boys have an ac
quaintance with Dick Beswlck of Nor
folk running back thirty-odd years ago.
Mr. Beswlck and the men who are at
the head of the big Nebraska circus
came from the same town , Galesburg ,
111. That was before Mr. Beswlck
cnmo to Stanton county In the pioneer
days , when he was still a circus "star"
of the first magnitude.
"Beswlck spent a good deal of the
winter In Galesburg , " said A. G. Camp
bell Friday. "It was a great circus
town. There were about twenty-five
circus men who spent their winters
there The vaudovlllo was not calling
for winter dates then. Mr Beswlck's
name was one of the greatest In the
circus world. I always find pleasure
