WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE.
Gentry Bros. Dog and Pony Show
Best Attraction Ever Wis ting
HattleSburg.

It is seldom that such crowd is
seen assembled in a city of Hatties-
burg's size as was lined up along
Main street when the parade started
today.
Evsrywhere this show travels the
result and verdict is the same-the
psople flock to see it and all who wit
ness it say it is the best show at the
price that travels.
Here is what the Mobile Item had
to say in it's issue of yesterday about
it:
The dog and pony show Of Gentry
Brothers, which exhibited in this city
yesterday afternoon and evening. rep
eating the performance this afternoon
and evening, has been source of
more genuine pleasure to the little
people than any attraction that has
been in Mobile in many long day
land not alone to the little ones, but
to the older ones as we'll, who have
been surprised at the thoroughness
with which man can subdue and train
dumb brutes almost to the extent OF
performing human acts.
The many cute tricks performed by
their very large and beautiful herd
of ponies are not only astonishing,
but highly amusing. while the work
of the trained dogs is something en-
tirely unexpected from the canine
tribe. The baby elephants in their
spscialties aslo afford much pleasure
to the little ones and genuine amuse-
msnt and the deepest interest for old
er people.
Altogether, Gentry Brothers are
putting Oh a much better exhibition
than ever before, and they are fully
appreciated by the crowds who are
attending their performances. The
tents are located at the corner of Gov
eminent street and Michigan avenue.
A feature of tonight will be the
attendance in a body of the sixty
carrier boys of the Item. They will

sured of a great time. This is a
courtesy extended the Item carriers

time than anything else for he was
never seen in anything like a hurry,
and many question has been asked
by persons stationed along the streets
as he would pass as to what, really,
could be the mans business or calling.
And this curiosity was intensified
when it was noticed that not one time
did he speak to any one in passing.
But today The whole business was
explained when Gentry's Dog and
Pony show landed in town. and the
gent eman referred to was seen with
Gentry, the proprietor, TO whom he
was heard tell that he ''had made it
beat him ter town-that he had been
in three days waiting for it and that
he was 'heeled with the SHELTER fer
ther very first ticket yer ticket agent
kin trot OUT
Here, Gentry reminded him that
there would be day and night per-
formance and asked him if he wasn't
going to attend both?
This caused a pause, during which
he fumbled down in his pockets as
though counting his money, finally
answering "You bet, fer after seeing
the whole thing through I'll still

TO ERECT GAS PLANT
NJ. NJ. Doyle is Willing to Put in 6
Good Gas Plant With a Little
Assistance.

M. M. Doyle, of this city, has
been figuring for some time on the
possibilities of establishing a gas plant
in this city. He believes that
Mitchell IS sufficiently large, and with
the strong possibilities of much
growth in the future, to support a
good gas plant, and thinks very favor
able of putting one in. In conversa-
tion with him he made the following
statement with reference to what
he is willing to do along that line:
Believing that the city and citizens
Of Mitchell are in need Of additional
lighting, cooking and heating facili-
ties, 1 have under consideration the
building Of a strictly first class, mod
ern gas plant, provided satisfactory
arrangements can be made.
The use Of gas for lighting, cooking
and heating is nothing new, but has
been improved upon recently. The
following are a few of the many ad-
vantages: First, the pressure is on
the mains, the gas is available for
use at any time, day or night; second,
1T furnishes a clear, bright light,
aud very intense heat, all Of which
are under control of the consumer
third, in addition to furnishing light
it furnishes a convenient, safe and
cheap means of cooking and heating
fourth, and the most important, is
it's cheapness. Comparatively with
fairly liberal patronage. it ian be
furnished for about one-half the pres
ent price of electric lights. All mod
ern buildings are fitted to use gas
and many use it exclusi vely, among
the latter are the state capitol build
ing and the Park hotel at Madison,
Wis.
The estimated cost of a plant for
a city the size of Mitchell would be
about $25, 900. Believing that this city
is in need Of such a plant I will I'M
dertake its construction, provided,
the city will give me a suitable site
for buildings and So, 600. The money
is to be paid, one half when the
engine, boilers and tanks are on the
ground, and the balance when the
plant and the first half mile of mains
are ready for business. OF course
the necessary franchise must be
granted, and if the plant is to be put
in by next season, arrangements
must be made this winter.
MI. Doyle, although a recent
conner to Mitchell. is pretty well
known in the city as a man who is
able to carry out the plans he has
set forth in the above statement.

No Permanent Location.

An article appeared in the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader with reference
to the location Of the State Educa-
tional Association as a permanent
fixture at Sioux Falls. The CORES,
pondent went on to state after 1903
the association would meet at Sioux
Falls in the future, and that it was
given to Aberdeen once before loca-
ting the institution permanently.
Just where the Argus-Leader cores
pondent got his inspiration to send
that information out we do not
know, but it is a positive fact that
the association was not located per-
manently at the present meeting.
1t took a good part Of Tuesday after
noon to debate the question as to a
permanent location, but the resolu-
ton that was introduced with that
idea in view was never passed by the
association, but was killed by the op-
posing vote.

A Nice Quiet Time.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader 27: Hon.
}. IL. Williamson, of Madison, will
follow the example of Hon. E. L.
Abel, OF Bridgewater, and take his
family with him to Pierre during
the legislative session. If this rule
generally prevails among the soIons
1T will become necessary for those
more %lonesomely situated to look else
where for fun in the long winter
evenings. This begins to look like a
woman's movement and it is a good
n for all concerned. If it detracts
from the noise around the lobby of
the hotel Locke it will likewise add
to the sociability of the occasion.

FOR A STATE FLOWER
Educational Association Endorsed the
Proposition for Legislature to
~ Admit hnomono --.-


There has always been more or less
discussion concerning the adoption
OF a state flower, but it never got
much farther than that point. Dur
ing the meeting Of the educational
association in this city this week a
circular was distributed among the
teachers that was issued by Albert
C.,,Hopkins, of Canton, urging the
adoption of the anemone for the state
flower and in the resolutions this
flower was officially endorsed. The
legislature was p%etitioned through
the resolutions to adopt the flower
and the motto: II Lead" The
anemone is about one of the first, if
not the first, flower that puts forth it's
blossoms in the springtime, and with
its early growth it was thought best
by Mr.. Hopkins that it should have
the motto which characterized it's
earliest development as symbolic of
the progress Of the state. It is a
pretty sentiment connected with it
and it will require no particular
effort for the legislature to follow:

Railroad to the Springs.

Frank Steere, Of Washington
Springs, passed through the city Sat
urday on his way east. Mr.. Steere
was asked with regard to the progress
that was being made by the Milwau-
kee company concerning it's extension
through Washington Springs. He
said that the surveyors were still at
work, and that now there was not
the least doubt but what the road
would commence building operations
in the early spring. He said that
heretofore the surveyors declined to
say anything about the extension,
but now they talk freely Of the inten-
tions OF the company in that vicinity.
The depot grounds have been locat-
ed very near the town, within a
couple Of hundred yards Of the bust
ness district. MI. Steere said that
t he track would be laid a short dis
lance west of Washington Springs,
and that later it would be decided
whether the road would be built
south to Gam Valley or northwest
into Hand county. Mr.. Steere said
that Washington Springs people were
exceedingly happy over the advent of
the railroad, for ever since the town
was started the only means of reach
ing the place was by wagon or walk
ing.

HAVE GONE BACK ON PIERRE
A Black Hills StOckman Asserts That
the Hills Delegation Is for
ResubmisSiOn,

Sioux City Journal, 3: s'It looks
to a man up a tree as if Pierre is
doomed to lose the capital Of South
Dakota this year," said NJ. L.
Fowler, Of Belle Fourche, a stock
man and capitalist, at the Hotel
Garreston yesterday. MI. Fowler is
enroute to Pierre from his home, and
will in all probability take a hand in
the lobbying on the capital question.
"The Black Hills people are sore at
Plerre,' he continued, "because it
broke a promise with them. You
see the Black Hills held the balance
Of power at the time the question
was up before, and it was the Black
Hills vote that located the capital at
Pierre. This influence was thrown
to Pierre in consideration that Pierre
interest itself in the promotion Of
the extension Of the Northwestern
railroad west to the Hills from Pierre.
This the Pierre people have neglected
to do. Now the Hills people are 60
ing to help Pierre lose.
"As to whose chances are most
favorable I do not know. Coe T.
Crawford and Robert W. Stewart,
attorneys for the Northwestern
road at Pierre, have been spending
some little time in the Hills trying
to mould sentiment in favor of Huron
in the event it be decided to move
the capital. OF course, all the leg
islature can do is to authorize the
submission Of the question to a vote
of the people. I think the Black Hills
will vote almost solidly against Pierre.
"As far as a railroad to the Hills
from the east is concerned, it is be-
lieved now that the Milwaukee will
soon begin the construction Of it's
line from Evarts to Montana. This
line will pass within twenty-five
miles of the Hills. But as long as
the Hills people have to travel from
one end Of the state to the other and
back again to get the capital, they
are not particular which town has
it., except that they don't want
Pierre to have it,"
