Still Drawing Immense Crowds and

II There seems to be no diminution Il
, the attraction which the open air en-
tertainment given nightly by DR.. Dia
mond Dick has for the people, as tn,
crowd il even larger now than 1t wa
at first. The people begin to gathe
early, many Of them bringing thei
camp chairs with them, and they stay
through the whole performance, which
continues usually until about half pas
ten o'clock. The main reason doubt
less. Of the increased attendance, Ii
that people have learned, lot only tina
the entertainment IL worth hearing
but that the people who furnish it are
In every respect well conducted ladies
and gentlemen, who are never guilty
Of the least immodest or indecent word
or act.
1t is not surprising that q free out.
door entertainment of this character
should draw large crowds. But it is
rather surprising, considering the preju-
dice that always exists against travel
ing and advertising doctors, that DR..
Nice lellan's consultation tent should
be crowded all day long with patients.
Yet such is the fact. He treats not
less than fifty a day, and yet there has
not been day since he came here that
he has not turned away from five to
twenty for lack Of time to see them.
And they come from among the best
people in town too. The Doctors
specialties are liver and kidney troub.
les, catarrh and other chronic diseases,
and arrangements peculiar to women,
and he has bushels Of testimonials tes.
tifying to the efficacy of his remedies,
Two of the most interesting books that
he has are great scrap books, filled
with receipted bills drug bills, print
ing bills. bolel bills, etc., from all parts
Of the country, showing that he has
been travelling constantly since 1871,
when he began in some little town In
Maine.
The Doctor will remain here until
Sunday night, having stayed two
weeks longer than he originally in
tended, and will then 60 to Humboldt
where he will probably remain two
weeks. Whatever may be thought of
him as a physician, everybody admits
that he has furnished the people with
. good entertainment and has conduct
ed himself while here like a gentle.
