MANY SAW
 GENTRY'S SHOWS
People Were Turned Away Last Night and the Tents Were damned With Women and Children at the
 Matinee Performance.

Gentry's dog and pan yshOw gave entertainments yesterday afternoon and last night to good audiences at the tent on Chestnut street near Sixth avenue. At the night performance hundreds were turned away. The children were specially pleased, as they always are, with the well-trained animals, and after the matinee the pleasure of the young visitors was en- hanced by their being permitted to ride the ponies around the ring.
 In general features the Gentry show is much as it has been for years past with some new things add ed and some eliminated. Among the latter is the fremen's act by the dogs and mokenys. 1t has been running for score of years and MT. Gentry withdrew it simply because he thought his patrons were tired of it, but he has had so many requests for it's con tinuation that he says he will be forced to put it back.
 Among the new features is the mobile-cycle a high wagon drawn by pony and driven by big monkey while the trained dogs run in and out between the pony's legs and the spokes of the cart wheels as they re- volve. A Imaginable feature is the in- troduction of Dynamite, the kicking mule, which is ridden by green trainer.
 The Schneider family, favorite act for many years, is retained. The clever little dogs representing MT and Mrs. Schneider, arrive with the baby. They walk upright and waltz to the music, and send the baby away to play with the boys. Presently the baby is brought back in a carriage by a monkey.
 Then there was the monkey doctor, who came and prescribed for the sick pony, and the pony drank the medi- cine from abottle and immediately re- covered. The ponies played at seesaW and skipping the rope and select company of them played Way Down on the Suwanee River on the bells An interesting feature was the long and high jumping by the greyhounds and the climax was the pyramid act done by 40 ponies with Roy Rush thair trainer standing at the ion The show will be seen at Fordyce today

MISSOURI NEARLY
 HALF DRY NOW

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 24.-Rev. Albert Bushnell, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league for the Kansas City district, says that in his estimation it will be only a few weeks until Mis- souri will be half prohibition
 There are 114 counties in the state and 47 of them have voted against the saloon. Only ten more dry cities are needed to make the wet and dry counties equal. There have been eight counties made prohi- bition territory within the last week. There will be several more elections in the next few weeks. and it looks good for the anti-saloon people" he said.
