The DiAie Carnival Co.

The Dixie Carnival company, which closed d weeks cngIEem -ut here SIn-
 day last under ths auspicies of the Clifton Red Men, left on Monday morning for Globe, where they will
 spend q week. The carnival was a
 moral, high-toned affair, aud all the l people connected with it were respect i able, and deported themselves in a manner becoming ladies and gentle
 men. There were no rough5 or
 rOwdies with the company. The en- tertaiumcut Was well patrOniZsd at each and every performance. The manager Of the company. Dana Thomp-on. made many friends here by his genial business methods and square dealing. Mir Thompson performed
 the perilou7 feat of leaping from d
 niuety-foot ladder, turning a SOmer-
 -ault in mid air and aligh ting in d l.
 foot tank of water. lt was d dare
 devil trick, which alway, won the ap-
 piause of the crowd. The local Red
 Men have received the congratulations
 of the public on their succ -s-ful en-
 tertalnmcnt. The proceeds of the
 entertainment left the Red Men with d
 p.ethoric wampum belt, which will be
 used as Il starter for new wigwam.
 On Sitlrdav night the Rcd Men of Moftucl came upNh m Iorce Tn Jhcf uniforms and assisted the local mem bers of the order in entertaining the public. \ feast was spread for the visiting brothers at the Clifton Hotel, 1 at which there wa, d grand pOw-wow Every member of the tribe was given the opportunity to eXpres, his idea, of the entertainment, after which the pipe of peace was smoked. and the 1 noble sons of the forest hied them away 70 their tcpecs.

appropriations made by congress had
not been sufficient to more than meet
the current requirements of the army,
and no adequate reserve of finished
stores or Of material fer their pro-
