Hundreds of Children Saw the Dogs
 and Ponies.
 Hundreds of little Montgomerians saw the matinee performance of Gentry's Dos and Pony Show on Goode street, and a fair sized audience composed mostly of grown-ups, witnessed the performance last night, ..,it
 Gentry's Dog and Pony Show Is in its line, exactly what the name "Barnum'' stands for in the more elaborate tent att fractions. and there are few men of the present generation who have not seen the performance at least once in their lives.
 The performance Is much the same as 1t was several years ago. Gentry Broth CTS must have discovered that the per- formance they gave in those days pieas- cd children and they have adhered to their old program. There are new fea- lures to the performance. The manage ment has added monkeys and elephants to their corps of performers, and a vaudeville turn is also introduced, but none of the innovations please the little folk like the venerable Schneider family and, the military drill of the ponies.
 There is one criticism that must be made of the show. Gentry Brothers ad- vertise some alluring features of their mission Is paid, the audience is inform ed by the ring master that these features will be shown in an after performance, for which extra admission Is charged.
 The show left Montgomery last night.

ALL PROFESS CONFIDENCE.
Candidates Affirm They are Sure of
 Election

Centre, April 5-(Special. .)-With only one more week until the primary politics is the theme on every tongue and busi- ness is neglected while the people gather in groups to discuss the probability of this or that candidates nomination.
 Not the least remarkable feature Of the campaign is the confidence manifested by each candidate of the successful result of his canvass. From the six contes- tants for the office of Tax Collector. to the aspirant for coroner who has no op- position careful search fails to reveal single candidate who canot produce the facts and figures going to show his nomi- nation inevitable.
 Much interest is being manifested as the campaign draws to a close in the race between w. w. Haralson of De- Kalb and J. B. Tallay of Jackson for the judgship of this circuit. While De- Kalb is almost a unit for Haralson a divided sentiment Is reported in Jackson and the friends of each candidate claim that county Marshall Is placed in the Haralson column while the result In Cherokee Is doubtful with a very small majority either way.

Bisbee daily review., 1904-12-07

The Review is in receipt of a let ter from a patient confined in the county hospital at Tombstone, in which he tells Of the hearing of the charges against the conduct of the county hospital by the grand jury. That part of the letter reads as fol- lows:
 Well. the grand jury made quite a stir yesterday. To charge the doc tor and the steward with murder is probably rather farfetched, but there is perhaps sufficient evidence to make it very unpleasant for them on mild CT charge of manslaUghter.
 "As to the ccndit.ons in the hospij- al the jury has come very near to the truth. fhough it may be possible for all l know. that somebody is taking advantage of 1t for playing politics. and a hals dozen other patients were summoned to the inquisition. and as the doctor has allowed his underlIngs 10 abuse and insult me most outrage ousIy, and has himself been rather two-faced to me, I diC not hesitate 10 answer any of the questions asked, for felt that there was absolutely no con- sheraton due the doctor and his OuJ- fit on my part. They have, in fact, only themselves to thank for the scrape they are in, and will no doubt be kept busy for awhile trying 10 get out of it."
