PINTO, the TINY"
Prof. GENTRY Has an Elephant on His
Hands.

The smallest living elephant in captiv-
itY is Pinto" and Prof. Gentry. the
noted animal trainer, is the happy owner.
For many years the Professor, who is
always adding new and novel features
to his admirable exhibition, has been in
search Of an elephant 70 small in size
that it would be a veritable curiosity
one that would be a pleasing feature
with which to delight the large audien-
ces, which are in daily attendance at his
most wonderful animal exhibition. And
at last one Of his agents cabled Bombay,
India, that he could secure pinto"
The price paid was something like five
dollars a pound-and the little fellow
weighs a tri1e over $50 pounds-but
elephants are expensive and Pinto
WIS deemed worth the large amount,
and so the little fellow was sent to
America, and on Wednesday, Sept. IA,
1898, the Adams Express Company de-
livered to Prof. Gentry at Aurora, H.,
a most unique package-"Pinto."
This wonderful and tiny mammoth Is
as playful as q kitten, and will visit

q brother OF Gold-Bng Belmont. In
mis- eloquent little speech be said: awe
have reached a point when democracy
must rule or the heirs Of this greatest
republic that we know Of must bow
their necks 10 the most powerful
plutocracy the world has ever known.
Mind you, not even s national pluto
cracy, but an international plutocracy,
without faith or kin, which will drag
US to the most abiect slavery. Today
the people are waking up to the fact
that freedom Of man is the question.
The issue will be in 1900, are we to
be controlled by the cosmopolitan
money puwer or are we to be free men
of this great republic? Nothing more,

Three weeks ago the News, Of this

LaiAyette-JacksOn newspaper combine
to control county politics. The ISrKL-
uGENcER stated that Il had not heard
OF any snSh combine, and that Il one
were proposed we would be very apt 10
bear Of il. The News next week in
sisted on lis statement, and thought =
week or two would show ii TO be right.
some Of the county papers have taken
up the matter, and discussed 1t. Last
Saturday the Independence Examiner
devoted a third Of $ column to discuss
ing The affair, and placed the lSrKLLI-
GKScEE, the Leader, and the Odessa
Democrat IN the deal. Others have
Included the Wellington Qui viye. We
wish to state for the benefit Of all con-
cerned that the ISrKLuoEScER does
not make editorial statements we know
to be false. When we stated that we
had not heard Of such = move we
meant it. We mean now to say tina,
no such proposition has ever been
made to this paper, and We do not
believe 1t has been made TO either Of
the other papers. The Qui vive denies
the statement as far as Ii Is concerned.
The Higginsville Leader also Indig-
denies it. II there we're such a
deal on hand, and tins paper were in
cluded, We would net deny it. Policy
might dictate silence; but policy can
not dictate a known fAlsehood in our
editorial statements.
