Frank Burgy gave a public exhibit
ton of the fire extinguishers manufac-
tured by the National Dry Chemical
Fire Extinguisher, at the picnic grounds
before large crowd Wednesday. A box

roaring furnace, few handfuls of his
dry chemical powder quickly extin-
guished the flames. 1t was surprising
to every one present that SO small an
amount of powder would so perfectly

sending out from the factory here large
number of his extinguishers and agents
are wanted everywhere.
Col. Pop Corn Geo. Hall gave an
opening performance of his reorganized
show at Evansville Saturday, and some
thing occurred that was not down on
the bills. During the performance the
elephant which Hall purchased from the
Ringing Brothers broke loose and made
cross the country run, smashing fences,
sidewalks and devastating gardens until
when about one mile from the show
grounds his keeper succeeded in getting
him into barn. This elephant has a
record of killing seven men. If the Col.
wants to have success from the start he
ought to turn loose another leopard and
the advertising that follows will bring
out the whole country to see his show.

day and night. They will remain there

non was born. ard after short stay will
