sosTocK's WILD ANIMALS.
a Popular Feature of the Pan-American
Expedition.

a Popular Feature of the Pan American
Exposition.
There must be something out of
the ordinary in an exhibition of dumb
animals for it to retain the attention
of the public for any length of time.
There have been mensgeries from time
i'm memorial. but they have been OF
but passing interest; there have been
and are geological aggregations and
educated" animals from a mouse to
an elephant. but all have retained the
approval of the public for but brief
period. The wonder is then that the
Bostock nenagerie and trained wild
animals at the Pan-American has. in
spite of other failures, grown daily in
popularity. The solution is, of
course, simple TO the tens of thou
sands who have attended the Bos-
took performances at the eXh, bitiOn
grounds. 1t is Frank G. Bostock's
reward of a similar effort to pre-
sent to the public something
anything ever attempted in the
same line The fame of its startling

performances of the lords of the brute
creation, so much that is novel and
astounding, that the audier ces that
fill the mammoth building at each
Northumberland there are nine dali
iy-marvel at the power of the man
over the ferocity of the brute. 1t
seems to pass human understanding
how the monarchs of the Jungle,
feared by thousands, can be held in
su omission by woman and managed
almost like kitten. New features
are being constantly added to the
Bostock pc formapces. An indica-
ton of their popularity is shown by
the crowds that flock about the doors
awaiting an opportunity to witness
the incredible teats of the animals in
high iron bound cage which protects
the audience from the fury of thu cav
sge beasts. The safeguards against
danger that have been erected by the
enterprising management have met
with the hearty approval of the pub
lie and have made the performances
Of particular interest and instruction,
especial to ladies and children.

ROCK ISLANDS, TEXAS
LINE ABOUT COMPLETED.

First Vice President H. H. Parker.
of the Rock Island. has just returned
from a trip over the company's ex-
tension from Liberal, Kas., to FL
Paso, Tex. He says he expects to
have trains running into Ell Paso by
the middle of Deem Der or the first
of January at the latest.
He further states that the FL Paso
& Northwestern, which is extending
eastward from White Oaks, N. M. is
rapidly approaching that part of the
extension which the Rock Island is
building west from Liberal. The two
roads are only about 200 miles apart,
and the gap is being closed rapidly.
The Rock Island has built over 400
miles of road this summer and made
as good progress as was ever before
made in such a country.
The company is building one bridge
over the Canadian river that will re.
quire another month for completion.
and when that is done the lrack-lay
ing will be pushed through in a hurry
The bridge Is a steel structure. 100
feet high and 500 feet long. This is
the most expensive piece of work on
the road.
The completion of this extension
will make the Rock Island the short
line from Chicago to southern Cali
fornia and the City of Mexico.
