ADJUSTMENTS.
At the eilou.

The Dixie Troubadours have made a distinct hit at the Bijou this week. If there was no other feature than the Eight English Girls, the attraction would be sufficient to draw large audiences all the week, but this is only one of the six novelty acts Gertie Hoffman and Etta Pierce are in a class to themselves and their graceful dancing is a feature of the bill They have the same bewitching Bijou smile that pleased the Bijou au- diences when the Bijou Musical Comedy company were here last season.
 The other special features, Otto Broth CTS, German comedians and dancers, Lil- lian LeRoy the Yankee Comedy Four, and Gilroy and Waltz are all good. The Bijou Is assured of large audiences throughout the week as was demonstrated by the large matinee and attendance last night.

One of the lions, "sultana" by name is so very wild that she has been placed In large cage by herself She is called the untameable." and whether her ter rife display of teeth, claws and roaring Is make-believe or genuine. it is certain ly awful to contemplate and when Capt. Ricardo, the head trainer forces and fights his way into the cage with "Sul- tana." then 1t is that the limit of human fearlessness and daring seems to have been attained.
 "Sultana," whether hor untameable na- ture is genuine or theatrical is neverthe- less a lion and consequently does not possess the value for a mans life that A human being would. Some day Capt. Ricardo will find this out for when "Sul- tana,' tho largest lioness in captivity to- day makes up her mind to get him, no power on earth can save his life It Is a thrilling act and one which the pub lie seems never to tire of.

Word from San Antonio, Texas. where the Mundy Amusement company sup piled the shows and special attractions at the magnificent Flower Festival or La Fiesta held by the Daughters of the He- public last week, tells story Of suen extravagant praise as to far surpass all that has been said here in favor of the Orphans Home carnival features.
 The Mundy Amusement company will furnish the shows at our own local car nival for the benefit of the Orphans home next week. and if the class and calibre of the attractions come one half way up to what the San Antonio newspapers say of them, then we are indeed In for week of splendid entertainment.
 Wild Animal Show.
 The performing wild animal show in particular seemed to most impress the public of San Antonio, judging from the extensive manner in which that show Is written of In the newspapers of that city. Tn the Mundy wild animal show will be shown by actual count more than one hundred trained wild beasts. In the num- Der are lions and llonesses, partners.

 The lions In particular are the features of this show. Among their number are several of the terrible .black-maned kind, known best by the average student of na- tural history as ''man-eaters." These anil mals have been so trained by Colonel Mundy as to give an entire show by themselves. There are more than ten trainers attached to this show. each of whom controls his own family, or group of animal performers as perfectly as though they were so many kittens, al though every now and then some demon stration of natural born treachery asserts itself on the part of one of the animals and then follows an indefinite lay off for surgical repairs of the ill-fated train CT thus attacked.

The republican committee is very
much in advance of the democrats Sc
far as preparing literature for the
campaign is concerned. Nearly 1000,
900 copies of republican speeches are
practically ready for distribution: This
stock Of literature will be very greatly
increased in the near future.
The republican committee is also Ii
advance of the democrats in It's organ
ization for effective work at an early
day, because Of the fact that far. more
nominations for congress have beer
made by that party than is the case
with the democrats. In about $50 dis
