JOHN ROBINSON SHOWS COMING.
Americas Oldest and Most Widely Known Tented Organization Billed to Appear
 Hare Saturday, November IS.

Representatives of the John Robinson's ten big shows com- bined have just completed ar engagements for the coming of the Father of Shows" and the bill boards show an attractive line of pictorial printing.
 The show, under the manage ment of John Robinson, is now enjoying it's eighty-third year of prosperity, and is one of the fore most amusement attractions of America, if not of the world.
 It numbers among it's arenic favorites some of the most ex- pensive and best acts that money can procure. The Capt. Thom- son troupe of American cavalry men, in expert feats of daring and original horsemanship; Dare devil DeBurry, who sets at defi- ance all fixed laws of nature when he dashes down a dizzy incline, and with the speed of hurricane loops the gap on a bicycle; the marvelously educated troupe of seals, under the master hand of Capt. Winston; Edna, acknowl- edged princess of the realm of horsewomanship, the worlds only lady somersault rider and twenty equestrian associates; forty joy ous subjects of King Momus in a gleeful sufficiency, and more than a hundred other foreign and American features in three rings and an elevated stage, and intro ducing as an added feature King Solomon, his temple and the Queen of Sheba, requiring cast of a thousand men, women, chll- dren and horses, 100 ballet girls, reproducing the dances of the day of the king of a thousand wives.
 The Robinson show has always been famed for its menagerie, and this season finds the zoolog- ical annex the most complete ever carried by tented show, com prising costly and rare animals from every section of the globe. This splendid array of animal tal- ent will be seen in the big daily street parade, pronounced by all as the most gorgeous and elabor- ate pageant of modern times, comprising more than a mile ot gold encased wagons, charlots and 800 of the finest of American horses. This is the only big show that is not in the circus trust, and no advance in the prices will be made.

several weeks ago, and prior to the announcement of the coming of any carnival company, con- tracted with Whitney's Greater Shows for a street fair engage ment here the week commencing November 13, on terms that were acceptable to the mayor, council and county judge.
 The fire boys are paying the license of the shows next week, and get a per cent of the re- ceipts. Whitney's Greater Shows to be here next week are far bigger and better than the pres ent attractions. They number ten big shows, six big free acts and carry the celebrated Jac- quinto Royal Italian band.
 Wait and get your moneys worth. Wait and help out the fire laddies. Spend your money where it helps home people, and also have the satisfaction of seeing the better shows and be- ing a part of the biggest crowds. Yours respectfully,
 J. R. NATHAN,
 Chief of Fire Department.

Shot Full of Holes.

"I am S years old, and have been great sufferer from headache all my life. One of Dr. Miles circulars was left at my door, and what it con- tained about headache inter ested me, SO that 1 determined to invest a dollar in their make of shot, and go gunning for that headache. The first charge brought it down, but l contin- ued to shoot until the thing was shot so full of holes that I believe it will never come to life again. 1 consider it the work of a "good Samaritan" to spread the knowledge of what Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills will do." I. F. MOORE, 1852 Fairfax Ave-, Bridgeport, Conn.
 Headache, Neuralgia, Sciat- ica, Backache, Stomachache, Bearing Down Pains, Rheuma- tic Pain, or Pain from any cause yields readily to the soothing influence of Dr. Miles Anti Pain Pills upon the nerves, the irritated condition of which causes the pain.

COFFEE TIPS
How the First Plants Were Brought
Over to This side Of the
World.

A pretty story of the Introduction of
coffee into the western hemisphere is
quite to the point since our new posses
sions have so beautifully produced it in
the past, says the Philadelphia Record.
There WAS time when this assisted
emigrant," though so nobly self-sup-
porting when it has the opportunity,
was tender slip and likely to perish Of
thirst. In TIA Louis XIV. was pre-
scented with a single coffee plant for
his botanical garden by an Amsterdam
magistrate. 1t was nourished tenderly
and in time slips from it were sent to
Martinique-no doubt sub-rosa to the
Dutch-the Dutch having long con
trOlled the cultivation OF coffee and
guarded it jealousy lest it be cult
waited on islands not under their control,
On the way to Martinique the botanist
in charge, the ships supply Of water
getting low, shared his own daily al
lowance with the precious plants. Re
spending to his Kindness. they were
soon growing nicely in Martinique. In
due time these slips produced their
fragrant white fowers-they grow at
the roots of the leaves these pres
emily changed into berries, each with
its two grains of coffee. From Mar
Unique the coffee journeyed to Porto
Rico and Cuba.
Now Porto Rico alone annually ex-
ports about $9,000,0O0 worth Of this
highly esteemed bean. The plant grows
wild in some parts of Africa.

Taking INTO consideration all neces-
sary and unforeseen delays incident
believed the project should be
completed within Is months or two
years after the award of tie APP
preaching contract.
80. In view of the above, 1t is
difficult to see how any action on
the part of ahis office, other than
than what has already been taken,
on the part Of the Department,
can hasten the present progress OF
the work. If sufficient funds for
completing the approaches be pro-
vided by Congress, no reason is
seen why this project should mot be
carried to a successful and campara-
lively early conclusion.
SO. In connection with the pres
ent condition of the work. attention
Is respectfully invited to the marked
portions of the Ibervllle South,
publish at Plaquemne (n Mr..
Broussard's Congressional Di-,rloO,
of the lasue OF January %, 1905
40. In conclusion, it Is respect
fully submitted that, while there
have undoubtedly been delays Of
more less consequence in the prose
cution OF the work that might
possibly have been avoided with
our present knowledge OF local and
other conditions, yet they were such
as might reasonably be expected
from work of such magnitude and
difficulty from an engineering
standpoint. Moreover, it has de
veloped that in nearly every case
the delays have ultimately resulted
in advantage to the government,
and the permanency ana stability
of the lock have been Increased by
the length of time afforded for
settlement to cease before hanging
the gates. | further believe that
the charge that the delay in the
completion of the project is due to
Indifference, or inattentlon to duty,
on the part Of the officers or agents
of the Engineer Del eminent, is
unfoundcd and based on hcarsay,
or incomplete and imperfect
knowledge Of the conditions which
have confronted the Engineer De
partment in It's efforts to bring the
work to a successful conclusions.

ain loo king over the communi-
cations of the various bodies that
have made complaints IN reference
to this project, it IS evident to any
one acquainted with the work that
the people were not at all familiar
with the conditions to be met here,
and that they were badly mlsIn-
formed. This fact appears more
evident from the remarks OF some
of the men from the Teche, who
have recently visited the site of the
lock and expressed themselves as
being under a false impression, and
also as if they had been mlsled
They also expressed satisfaction
and pleasure that the condition was
SO much more favorable than they
had supposed, and that the delays
were made for valid reasons. They
also claimed that they would hasten
to inform their people that their
source of information AZ to the
magnitude Of the work and the time
necessary to complete 1t, had shown
Ignorance, at least.
