WESTERN LEAGUE GOSSIP.

Various changes in the batting or
der and the way the players on the
local team seem to be working indi-
cate that Owner Cooley and the play
ers themselves are working hard to
come out of the rut into which they
fell. And with this condition of af-
fairs prevalent the team will come
and come fast. This does not mean
that they will not lost another game
on the road. Indeed they may lose
practically all of them. Cooley says
the men haven't been playing the ball
they should. If this is true no one
knows it any better than the players.
And the chances are that they are
fighting as hard as men can fight, but
when things go bad they go to pieces.
The loss of the first game at Sioux
City wasn't such a disgrace. Jack
Hollands touted Drummers were wal
loped Is to 1 by the same team. Other
teams have been likewise walloped by

here that more teams will be wal
Hoped by the 500 both at home and
abroad. There is no. reason to kick on
the way the team has been going. Of
course it would have been much nicer
to have made a better showing. But
this was not done. However, the team
will come out of the slump 1t is a

BIG CIRCUS AT NEW ORLEANS.
Barnum and Bailey Show to be Seen There on
Saturday and Sunday October 1880.

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth will visit New Orleans.
This is the best news of the day to
those who arc fond of the circus form of
amusement. For forty-five years this
has been the leading show of the world.
This year it comes forth with an entire
new equipment which cost the manage
ment So 100000.
The main performance is given in
three rings, on two stages, on an I'M
mense Roman race track and in the
dome. The climax of the program is
the appalling performance of Desperate,
a mad Frenchman, who leaps from the
dome of the tent and land on his bare
chest. Additional thrills are given by
Jupiter, pure white Arabian horse. In
rides to the dome of the tent in ballot
and decends amid Niagara of explod-
ing rockets and fireworks. Then there
is Charles the First, beyond all question
the most remarkable animal that eyer
came to the notice of scientists. Charles
the First is merely a chimpanzee, but
he has become the greatest bicycle
rider and acrobat in the world. He does
an act on one of the stages that is the
wonder of the age.
In the menagerie is found the most
remarkable geological exhibit ever seen
outside of the interior of the African
Jungle. 1t is Bumbino, the first and
only baby giraffe ever born or exhibited
in America. Only once before in his
tory has the stork visited the giraffe
pen of captive ZOO animal. That event
happened over fifty years ago in Lon
don, England. The youngster died be-
fore it could be placed on exhibition.
Bumbino is only three feet tall, less than
one seventh of it's mothers height.
The youngster is worth its weight in gold.
On the list of performers are the
names of 400 of the worlds most talented
performers. The new parade is mar
vel of interest. 1t is panorama OF
thousand wonders. There are three
miles of it. Here is an opportunity for
the people of Bay St. Louis and vicin-
ity to see the greatest circus ever or
ganized. The railroads will lower the
rates of fare and special excursions will
be run.

Under the above heading the Los An

fishes the following:
S. J. Cray, formerly of Texas, but for
the past two years connected with the
San Francisco office of the Western

Mr.. Gray, referred to in the above, is
the eldest son of our townsman, Capt.

reproduces the "mention" with a feel

the successes which have come to him,
solely due to his merit and perso nal
worth. We wish him much success in

HAS ANYBODY HERE SEEN CASEY JONES

o where, where is that awful noise
That we all were wont to hear?
The noise that passed us boys
And filled us all with mortal fear.
Fear for the driver and his pal,
Who rode right by his side
Around the town, up and down,
On many midnight ride.
The owl in the pine tree high
Will miss that high-speed sound,
That had him always on the fly,
And chased him all around.
The farmers along the Gainesville Lane
At night, when plowing's through,
Can let their cattle out again,
At the falling of the. dew.
The shell roads need no fixing now;
There's no one here to ride.
And why ride anyhow,
II not mile-a- minute glide!
The show girls who hit this town
Will find lonesome place.
No more Joy rides up and down,
Killing time and covering space.
No more "SparkIing" and homemade
bread,
At one lone dollar a throw.
Those days are gone, are dead;
My, but this place is slow! "**
