THE DOGS AND PONIES
Brought Here Tomorrow by Prof
Gentry Are Highly Educated

The educational possibilities Of the
brute creation have probably been
reached by Prof. Gentry, who is known
all over the land as q wonderful trainer
of dogs and ponies. His company this
year consists of over one hundred of the
handsomeSt specimens Of their kind OBJ
tainabIe. all of whom have been edu-
Gated to a wonderful degree Of inteIli-
gence- The entire company will display
their talents in this city under a tent
at Thirteenth and Harrison tomorrow
and Wednesday, May $40, afternoon
and evening.
1t is said by persons who are author
ity on such subjects that Prof Gentry
has reached the final limit of what dogs
and ponies may be educated to do, and
it is also said that nothing further can
be accomplished in that line If this be
true. Prof Gentry certainly deserves the
phenomenal success that continually
greetS his exhibitions The prices are
decidedly reasonable and anyone can
afford to attend: children, Is cents;
adults, % cents.

GERMANS TOOK WARNING
After Reading the Stories Of Ameri-
can Army Beef

Berlin. May s.-The most unfortunate
circumstance as regards American in
terests in the matter Of the meat in
sDectfon bill was the fact that there
were fnsisteut declarations in the United
States that enbalmed and poisonous
meats had been supplied to the troops
in Cuba. Representatives Of German
land owning interests loudly declared
that IL the Americans sent poisonous
meats to their own soldiers they would
certainly send it to the Germans \
bad result is that the bill as reported
back provides for examination and in
spection of American meats impossible
TO enforce without utterly destroyiug
American trade with Germany
The bill as remodeled by the reichstag
committee also proposes to exclude from
expectation hams. hard and soft saus-
ages and chopped meats, and prescrfbes
that fresh meats must come in the
whole carcass or continuous parts.
The United States embassy and the
government still hope that better coun-
sells will prevail when the bill comes
up for discussion in the open reichstag
on its second reading. though the
chances for the enactment of the gov
eminent measure are very slim

him the most unpleasant kind of motor
iaty- and soon after he made I'D his
mind to have nothing further to do with
the motor machinery

TWO STREAKS OF RUST.
South Topeka Avenue Wants
Fourteenth Stree Line
Operated.

To the Editor Of the State Journal:
note by Saturdays State Journal
that quite a number of very amfable
people worked themselves into a frenzy
over the rumor that the Topeka Rail-
way company was contemplating the
extension of a line down Topeka ave-
nue. from Tenth street to the fair
grounds. Several hitherto quiet resi-
dents of the "aristocratic'' section of
I Topeka avenue were interviewed by the
State Journal and from the tenor OF
their statements I am compelled to ad-
nit that the doctrines of that arch
conspirator and traitor" G. C Clemens,
have taken deep root on Topeka ave
nue. between Tenth and Thirteenth
streets.
What a spectacle it would be to the
youth of the land to see Judge Redden,
Dr. Mcguire, A B. Quinton and Bob
Cofran out with picks and sledges tear
ing up the tTack2 If it must come to
this, let US hope that it will take place
in the dead of night while the rising
generation is in slumber.
The plain. common people living in
the neighbOrhoOd of Fourteenth street
and Topeka avenue would like TO be a
little nearer to a street car line Two
streaks of rust pass the corner, but
cars are only operated when a circus
comes to town If this line were put
in such condition as TO give one
chance for his life when he does want
to ride. and cars were operated regular
", the people in this neighborhood
would be satisfied Briefly. I would like
street car service a little nearer TO
Fourteenth street am opposed to
double track on any OF the residence
streets
What strikes me as something re-
markable is the fact that the gentle
men who are in favor of tearing up
track have not tried their skill on the
old single track which has. for nine
years, marred Topeka avenue. This is

Mcclure and Bob Cofran give Us an ex-
hibitiOn OF their skill with pick and
sledge on this old eyesOre, and Il the job
is = good one, may be their future ef-
forts in staying the hand of the OctO-
pus might receive the plaudits Of the
