HISS ROSE IVY
Appears Two Nights at the Jef"
ferson and Exhibits Mar
Vicious Powers.

Monday night Miss Rose Ivy.
the New Zealand Wonder, enter
tanned a fair size audience with a
demonstration of her mysterious
and wonderful powers; such as.
lifting heavy men from the floor
by touching the chair in which
they were seated, with her open
palms., holding a rod lightly that
strong men could not push from
her hand, standing erect and
battling repeated attempts to
raise her from the floor. What
this power may be none present
could guess and those who sus-
pected that some trick is in
vOlved couldn't start even a
guess to the construction or
character of the trick.
Miss Ivy gave another exhibit
ton. last night and left her
audience equally as puzzled and
astOnished as the night before.
In addition to her seemingly
marvellous powers Miss Ivy
possesses an unusually fine
voice and her singing was de-
lightfully enjoyed.

Domengeaux's Bird StOreis the
name of a new business opened
here Monday by Mr.. Rex Do

Store does not really describe
his stock, for besides birds he
will handle gold fish, Belgian
hares, pigeons, fancy chickens,
Guinea pigs, dogs, squirrels,
snakes, alligators, frogs, mon
keys, ETC., etc.
He has not yet received his
full stock, but the store is quite
an interesting place now, and
owing to the novelty of the bust
ness will no doubt attract much
attention.
In opening up a store here OF
this character Mr.. Domengeaux
states that while he expects to
supply the local demand for pets
and curiosities, he anticipates
building up a considerable bust
ness with shows and museums
and people elsewhere who wants
things iE his line.
