S. cavalry from the world's greatest military riding school at Fort Riley, Kansas. These dare-devil riders have astounded the world with their remarkable exhibitions of horseman ship, and their addition to the usual excellent offering of this father of tliows was. only accomplished after much red tape and a strong pull with the military heads of the U. S. ar my. Within the past few years the riding of the soldier? of the regular army in this country lias been brought to such a perfection that the oldest of the successful circus riders have been apprehensive of their laurels, and the coming of the show will afford an op portunity to witness the daily contests between the favorites of the sawdust arena and the daring soldier boys in blue. These hardy fighters scorn the use of tights and riding shoes, and clad in their regulation uniform, with heavy army boots, they perform with dar ing ease and consummate skill every remarkable feat of horsemanship known to modern and ancient riding.

SCHNAPPS pleases all classes of chewers: the rich, be cause they do not find a chew that really pleases them better at any price; the poor, because it is more economical than the large 10c. or 15c. plugs and they get their mon ey's worth of the real snappy, stim ulating flavor so appreciated by to bacco lovers.

Asheville, Sept. 22. —A second com plaint has been filed by the law firir of Tucker & Murphy on behalf of the Buncombe county board of education in its suit against the city of Asheville making a total of $36,500 which the board now alleges has been wrongful lv withheld from it by the city authori ties. In the second complaint the board of education claims $20,000, which it is claimed lias been wrongfully appro priated from the funds due the board under the law which gives to the coun ty schools all money collected by fines in the county. The county board in its first complaint demanded that either the city pay the $16,500 for which judg ment has already been given by the superior court of Buncombe, or that the water works on the Swannanoa river, now kept for emergency, be sold and the proceeds go to pay the judg ment. In its answer the city set up the claim that it was "dead broke," al leging that it was anxious to pay the judgment but could not raise the mon ey. The city further claimed that the old water works no longer belohged to it and so of course could not be sold to settle the judgment. The avowed policy has been, from the beginning of the bickering and litigation, not to pa the amount at all, or at least to delay the payment as long as possible. The board, although so far unable to collect even a fraction of the judg ment given by the court, is philosoph ical enough to continue'in the attempt to secure all the judgments possible ngainst the city, even though it cannot realize upon them until far in the fu ture, if at all. The state law provides that all fines collected in the county courts shall become the property of the county schools. No difficulty has been ex perienced in enforcing this law with regard to the maistrates' courts. The city people, and many officials, howev er, do not believe the county is en- j titled to the city revenues, and during the time that T. A. Jones, recently re _ signed, was police justice, an attempt was made to evade the law be desig nating most of the income, aside from the costs, which all go to the city, as "penalties" and not fines, no statement being made in the law as to the dispo i sition of "penalties." The money deriv ed from these "penalties" was turned over to the city instead of the county school fund. The county board of education first entered suit two years ago after fruit less attempts to secure payment of the amounts, which were claimed. Judg ment was given to the board in the superior court of $1,600. The city ap pealed to the North Carolina eupreme court, but the judgment of the superior court was confirmed. This was more than a year ago, but the city has never • paid a cent on that judgment, at all times setting up thee laim that it had no money. The board attempted to collect by securing from the court an order to sell the old water- works prop erty, then believed to be the only piece not in actual use so that it could be sold. The city, in answer, set up the • claim that it no longer owned the prop erty. Now it is again the city's move [ and much curiosity is manifested as 1 to what this will be. .
