 Redirect: Hunter habitually car ried two guns. One ln his waistbaud in front; the other in his hip pocket. When qlarrelihg with men he would take out the one from his hip pocket and put it behind the bar. to convey the impression he was unarmed when he was really armed and at an advantage-and would keep on with his abuse

 between himself and the two men.
 It occurred a few nights before the

eENrRY's Dog AND PONY SHOW
FINEST AMUSEMENT ATTRACTION
OF THIS CHARACTER ON
E-ARrJJ

The greatest dog and pony show on
earth opened here yesterday at Base

] ming performances to Il packed tcnc
and delighted audiences.

| key show for lie has the cream OF pro-
| fessional talent from each of those
species in his big aggregation of tai
ented performers.
The intelligence that all these dis
played yesterday was marvellous ana
| delighted even the grown up children
who were present. OF course everyone
who has children went yesterday or
| will go to-day, and those who haven't
children will borrow some to take a.cnS
or go alone. The monkeys did some eX-
cellent work on the high trapeze, and
also some slillful riding. The ponies
went through military cvolutions like
veteran soldiers. The elephants did
some fine work that showed great
training, and the dogs. little S6bgs and
| big dogs, were present at every stage
of the game, doing something funny =.
something difficult and unexpected.
There are dogs there that walk on their
| hind legs, docs that walk on their
| front legs dogs that leap Incredible
heights and distances. dogs that waltz
dogs that turn Somersaults and dogs
! that talk lin the bow-wow language)
| The ponies seem more numerous than
ever before.
| The fine program winds mp with n
burning house and n thrilling rescue
act, in which dos and monkeys ART
the actors. One of the monkeys seems
to particularly enjoy changing the fire
gong on his truck. and all enter hearth
~ into the spirit of the thing.
| After the show was over yesterday
afternoon Prof. Gentry kindly invited
the children of Norfolk to stay awhile
and ride on the elephants if they wish

privilege, and they will also probably
be allowed to ride them this afternoon

cause labor and material are cheaper.

NEW COMMUNITIES
Prediction ofDr. Ogborne.

There is no question in my mind but
that whole communities who now
suffer from the bad effects of coffee.
would be revolutionized if they knew
OF the actual facts regarding the use of
coffee and the help that could be OH
tanned from the use OF Postum Cereal
Food Coffee. In my own case. coffee
produced dizziness. heart palpitation
and sallowness of complexion. When I
abandoned the ordinary coffee and tool,
up Postum. the difficulties were re-
moved" Rev. w. n. Ogborne. Ham
monton. n. ].
Some people, when trying to break
off the coffee habit. feel the lack of the
stimulant so much that they mix half
coffee and half Postum, then gradually
reduce the amount OF coffee until they
drink Postum alone.
Most people can break off from coffee
at once if they can have the Postum
Food Coffee. for the taste of the two is
so much alike. that many times the
change is not noticed. The user in
variably improves in health, and in q
months time, shows a, marked change
for the better. 1t

Gil; and, as chairman OF the Commit
tee on Fidelity Insurance. he will make
a report to the convention on that
topic. 1t embraces the question of in

eral modes of bonding the clerks. Some

any or all the employees. while other
