CIRCUS GLORlES.
The Finest and Largest Street Spectacle
Ever Organized, Presented by Ring
ling Brothers this Season.

Ringing Brothers circus day will begin
with the splendid street pageant leaving
the show grounds at 10 O clock This fea.
ture OF the great shows is known here as
surprisingly big and Respondent. The
procession is always spick aud span in
every detail, and the people and animals
are smart and contented looking. A large
number of the animal cages and dens are
open, and huge herd of forty elephants,
gayly caparisoned, numbering patiently
through the crowded streets, is a sight of
a lifetime. The wild animal collection
with this show is the most extensive and
valuable in the world and require 10S
cages, dens and lairs to house it.
The soldiery of the great nations of the
world are represented by correctly uni
| formed companies equipped with colors
and glstening aceoutrements. Elaborate
! y carved floats follow, upon which are
depicted in magnificent allegory typical
phases of national life and character.
These living pictures are artistic crea-
tons, munificently presented, and ides-
he in charming form and color their
worldwide subjects. Lilliputian vehicles.
with fairyland heroes and heroines, and
squadrons of coneeited ponies, beribbon-
ed and curled, delight the little people,
There are $50 horses with the show, and
all of them appear in the street process
sion. More than 300 of these animals are
of the finest breeding and education, and
valued beyond price as performers This
number is more than twice as many as
are owned by any other show. It re-
presents fortune in itself, but is only in
keeping with the other big and excelling
department of Ringing Brothers extraor-
binary circus growth. Modishly gowned
equestriennes, gallant riders of knightTy
grace and style; daring horsemen of the
plains and warrior fame; soldiers hold
from every cline; and myriad other fea-
lures of attractive presonage, are woven
into this magnificent street spectacle
Aerobats, clowns aud musical cherry
Andrews keep the fun rolling
The Ringli ng Brothers have
always had progressive, modern and in
comparably big show, but this year they
have gone to amazingly extrayagant
lengths in every department, not only
ssrpassing their best previous achieve
ments but undoubtedly have reached the
limit of human possibility. 1t takes IS
double length ears to transport the enor-
nous shows. Two exhibitions viii be
given here Saturday November 10 in the /
afternoon at 2 o'clock Reserved num-
bered seats and admission tickets will be |
sold at the downtown ticket Office at ex- /
actly the same prices charged in the tick |
ct wagons on the show grounds.

CENTRAL RAILROAD.

MIR. c. c. Henshaw, presi-
dent CT Central Railroad of
Louisiana, returned from trip
to New York Monday. In
his opinion work will start on
the road within a short time, al
though no definite date has
been set for the actual resump-
ton. That the work will 90 on
there is no doubt, the only ques-
ton being the final arrange
mentS.
The coming of the Central
Railroad means great deal
more to New Iberia than merely
railroad through the city. 1t
means railroad shops here and
the location OF from 500 to 100
families if Mr.. Henshaw's plans
carry through. He has been
working to this end, and if work
is resumed it may be taken for
granted, although he does not
say so, that the shops are assur-
ed.
In the opinion of many of the
people the establishment of
shops here means a great deal
more than any other thing in
connection with a railroad here.
As told some time since, the
shops such as proposed by the
Central Railroad would mean
the importation of from 1000
to 5000 persons, and there is |
much need of new blood in the
community with the industrial
habits of the men who are to
be employed.

AGAINST AMENDMENT
Editor Enterprise Leader:

Editor Enterprise Leader:
During the last Legislature
an amendment was introduced
to Article ago of the Acts OF
1909, intending to exempt
mortgage Notes" from taxa
ton. 1t was not the intention
of the promoters of this amend
ment to place "Rectories and
Parsonages of Churches" on the
taxable list. BY unintentional
error, the amendment was not
attached to Article ago of 1902
but to an Article of the Consti-
tional Convention of 1898,
which convention. through an
oversight, failed to exempt Rec
tories and parsonages from taxa
ton. The good people of
Louisiana, recognizing the IN
valuable services of the various
churches, in promoting the
welfare of the State by building
up an honorable citizenship,
rectlfed the error in 1902, by
voting for the exemption from
taxation of directories and Par
sonages and the lands appurten-
ant thereto.
The appreciation of the peo-
pie for the influence of the Cos
pei is still the same, if not great
er, and we feel proud to be able
to appeal to them again to assist
US in freeing the Rectories and
Parsonages from burden
which would only make our
work for their welfare the more
onerous.
Every voter will realize that
Rectories and Parsonages pro-
duce no revenue for their occu-
pants, such as other real estate
does for its owners, and, as the
services of all Ministers are for
the public good, the residences
of the Ministers are necessary
adjuncts to their usefulness, and,
therefore, should be regarded as
public necessities and be exempt
from taxation.
Would you kindly call the
attention of your readers to this
matter, and request them to
vote against "Act ais, propos-
ing an amendment to Article
ago. and oblige,
Yours truly,
REV. JOHN ]. HoLTGREvE.

BIG STAMPEDE EXPECTED
Walker River Reservation in Nevada
Said to Be Rich in Gold
and Silver.

Reno, New, Oct. 10.-Thousands of
miners and prospecrors will be waiting
on the borders of the Walker River re-
servation at II o'clock noon on the
18th of October, when almost the en-
tire reservation will be thrown open, in
accordance with the presidential pro-
clamation. For many years Ii has
been known that there was a large gold
and silver mineral zone in the Walker
river country, and, in spite of the vigil
ance of the Indian police hundreds of
miners have worked in the mountains,
noting the position of valuable grounds,
which they expect to locate as soon as
the land is thrown open to entry. As
there is no law in Nevada limiting the
number Of mineral locations that per-
sons can make, it is anticipated that
there will be trouble on the day of the
opening, unless some system Of allot-
ments is enforced. The usual land lot
terry plan cannot well be applied, it is
claimed, in as much as agricultural To-
cations are restricted in area and only
one location allowed.
The Walker River reservation is six
ty miles long and varies in width from
twelve to twenty miles, in the western
part of the state, reaching from Haw-
thOrne on the south nOrthWard TO
Cleaver Peak.

TIME TO CALL A HALT.
Women Now Being Held Up by San
Francisco Footballs.

their attention to women and are max

year-old Louise Sloss, daughter of the
millionaire banker and capitalists. are
the latest victims of the indiscriminate
outlawry- Stopped by thungs on the
streets, both girls had to submit to

that they are still suffering from
shock.

en- and robbed at midnight last night
by three masked men concealed in the
entrance to a lodging house at Fourth
and Howard streets. where Porter re-
sides. Despite the fact that revolvers
were displayed by his assailants, Por-
ter states that he made a desperate
fight, but was dubbed until senseless
and knew no more until he recovered
consciousness in the gutter near where
he had been held UP. In a search for a
money belt which he has been in Ihe
habit of wearing next to his body, the
men stripped Porter Of his coat, vest
and shirt, but failed to discover the
belt. They secured s87 in bills, a gold
watch and a diamond stick pin. The

ton with the affair.
