GENTRY BROTHERS PARADE

The Gentry Brothers gave us the
finest and handsomest dog and pony
parade this morning ever brought to
our city. There were a hundred
beautiful, intelligent looking canine
actors, sitting up in miniature red and
gold chariots. These in turn, were
drawn by hundred dapper, prancing
Shetland beauties, decorated with
pretty plums. A great herd of ele-
plants far off Sengapore and behind
them. four beautiful specimens of
Siberian camels, wearing beautiful
blankets, were attractions that were
not looked for. A group of sacred
cattle, from mysterious Thibet, fol-
lowed on, and then came the mar
velous Kitamura family of Royal
Japanese acrobats, foot-jugglers and
aerial contortionists and rope-walkers.
This little brown family is the highest
salaried troup of artists in their line
now before the public.
The parade headed by the Gentry
Bros fine concert band, was, in short,
a half mile of animal actors. The
music was the best we have heard
here from a circus band, and the
steam Calliope player disported him
self with the more popular rags,
and the small boy has been trying to
whistle the airs all day.
The great animal family is comfort
ably housed in the big white tents on
south Main street, and all morning,
before and after the parade, were
visited by hundreds of people anxious
to get a glimpse of little "Clo", the
smallest pony on earth. The midget
was spied, from under the side walls
frisking about under the heels of its
older associates. "Clo" weighs but
25 pounds and is a perfect beauty.
1t is the big, Eastern No. 1 Gentry
Show that is here today, exactly as if
exhibited in New York, Boston and
Chicago. Not an act has been cut
or eliminated.

A COAL FAMINE
AT PORT ARTHUR
Thought to Be a Desperate Sit
uatiOn as to Fuel.
0RUSSIA'S WOUNDED RECOVER

Chez Foo, Sept. 22.-Captain Ma
tousevitch, who was the Russian COM
mander at the time of the dismantle-
ment of the battleship Czarewitch,
has almost recovered from his wounds.
He and most of the officers are living
ashore.
The German steamer Erica which
yesterday took aboard cargo of coal
at Kinthow, a, German concession, is
being held there by the authorities
pending her captain giving his prom
ise not to attempt to enter Port Ar
thur, where it is surmised the coal is
intended for.
The lack of coal at the beleaguered
fortress is becoming most serious
matter. Even the water condensers
cannot be worked by reason of the
shortage of fuel.

A BLISTERING
PRAIRIE FIRE
Sweeps Through a Missouri
Bottom with Disastrous Results.
MUCH PROPERTY DAMAGED.

Craig, Mo-, Sept. pa prairie
fire having frontage of over five
miles is sweeping through the bottom
lands here today. Tie entire popu-
lation is out trying to stem it, but the
intense heat prevents the people from
getting within fighting distance. 1t
is more than likely the fire will sweep
all before it until the Missouri river
is reached. Two bridges across
Tarkoc creek have been burned.
Several dwellings and many barns
and fences have been consumed. No
loss of life is so far reported, but
there have been many narrow escapes.
