The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1899-10-18

EWOTdSLnen IN the army OF the sultan
give spirited sword combat which is ex-
cellent.
The six japanese. Mizunos. father
mother, three brothers and a sister, give
probably the most wonderful show in the
Midway. They have been travelling in
America since the Worlds Fair ana
came here directly from Salt Lake City.
They showed there in large tent which
was destroyed on the way to Wichita
and are now compelled to use one which
is too small to accommodate the crowds
who are anxious to see them. Their pro
gram consists OF Juggling, sleight q
hand performances, balancing feats ahu
stumbling. Their costumes are Of varied
color and design, being deliberately en-
broidered in japanese design. During
THE entire performance the mother OF the
family, who takes no part on the regular
program, plays upon native instrument
The music IS &C a wierd yet peculiarly
sweet order. and all the acting is in per
feet time with the music.
The most difficult act performed last
night was that Of balancing on one foot
a large tub in which were seated a snlil-
Ding girl Of S and a boy Of perhaps u
wears The Japanese are quite at nome
in America and several members of the
family speak English well. They change
the program each night and exhibit
great deal Of skill in every line OF per-
formance The two younger children,
their Laughing eyes ard pearly teeth
They win the hearts OF all who see them
and when one leaves this show ne feels
that 1t will be well worth his while to
visit it again.
The De Krekos. with their Streets Of
cairo 'Tbeat the band" and this means
inside as well as out. Upon entering the
street one is Immediately transported to
the Orient The wild music, the DervisA-
es all in din and clatter. make this
most fascinating place. At the end Of the
street is erected a stage, upon which and
before which the Mohamedan marriage
ceremony is performed, the Egyptian
tumblers and Dervishes display their skill
and the great astrologer and mystifier
gives an entertainment. These all tend
TO transport one to the desert Il Na but
when the tent is reached and the Harem
scenes enacted, the graceful dances gone
through with the audience forget entire
lv that they are at home. The principal
dancer is la Bella Saba, Princess and
Priestess Of the Temple of Isis. Cairo.
When you see her. the petite tribe dancer.
whose frightening beauty and flashing
eyes hold out a strange fascination as
she proceeds in her appeal to Isis, you
will have seen the famous dancer over
whom the white City at Chicago went
wild La Bella Saba was brought to this
she was official dancer for two tribes of
idol worshippers. Her ancestors for CEN
turtles back were idolators. and it was to
the worship Of Isis that she was conse-
Grated at birth The particular belief of
the Egyptian idolator is that the gods
must be appealed to, not by word Of
mouth but by muscular cOntortions of
the body It is in this that Saida excels.
This show is no common couchee-c0uchee
show.
Among the gay noisy shows is one Of
scientific interest. which in it's modest
tent attracts little notice, but is, in reali-
ty. the most instructive and noteworthy
OF ALL. Within the tent is a five-foot
grave, in which lies George Snyder of
.Atchison. There is an opening at the
head, and through this the public are
permitted to look upon the face OF the
man, lying there perfectly motionless, ap-
parently dead He was thrown into a
cataleptic state on Monday night at $40,
and will be brought to fun consciousness
on Saturday night after a sleep of 124
hours.
Prof Ourel Of Hungary is the hypnotist
who has performed this wonderful feat.
His first experiment some two years ago
created a great sensation, the New York
World dev9ting an entire page to its ex-
PLANTATION.
Prof. Ourel came directly from Omaha,
where he had a Miss Sherwood in 4 cat
aleptic condition for r. hours and Is min
htes. The professor is very courteous
gentleman of good education and remark
able skill. He very graciously offered to
arouse Mr.. Snyder for Illustration, and
clearing his tent he beckoned the reporter

sight, looking down into the face Of the
man so still and death-lke Prof. Ourel

He called loudly, but there was no re-

professor fixed his eyes upon the face il
the grave, snapped his fingers twice and
said Awake" SThe lids slowly lifted. the
head raised, and John Snyder was awake
