EMBARRASSING CONDITIONS.

Senator Dolliver says that he is going
to tour the state to tell the truth about
the tariff. He should say, the truth as
he sees it. But will he be welcome
speaker? For instance, what will
Congressman Good do with him in the
Fifth District, or Congressman Picket
i'm the Third? These two congressman,
who haue been fairly progressive and
and were so before Deliver was recon
verted, both voted for the tariff bin and
believe it is q good bill, the best that
could be made at that time. Will they
be willing to go with Dolliver on his
speaking tour. condemming their own
votes in favor of the bill? And how
many candidates for county offices will
want Mr. Dolliver to speak in their conn
ties, disturbing the republican harmony
through which they hope to win their
elections? We are afraid that Senator
Deliver will have to make his campaign
under other auspices than the ones of
the regular republicanorganizationsa and
without the moral or other support of
the candidates. Cedar Rapids Republi-

THE GENTRY BROS. SHOW.
Which Gave A Big Parade And Fine
Exhibition Here Saturday.

This summer has furnished great show
weather and last Saturday was as per
feet as the weather Office can produce,
Gentry Bros. show arrived on time Ii
always does Shows have that kind Of
habit. They have a fixed program and
they work to schedule time. Nothing
but storms or floods or railroad wrecks
are PERMITTED to interfere. Every boss,
every performer and every employee has
his stunt and he must be there on the
minute or get tie pass for home,
The parade at noon was good but only
fair crowd of people to see it.. Many
from the country put in the forenoon mt
work and ate their dinner before coming
to town. While others kept busy all
day and came in Mt night The show
was clean and attractive. We think
this is always true of Gentry Bros.
shows. The trained animals are always
of much interest. The ponies and the
dogs and the elephants are well trained
and take their parts with promptness
and interest. The trainer of these ami
mails must be a man of great will power
and wondrous patience. Over and
over again for days and weeks and
months he must work with them until
the tricks become second nature before
they appear in the regular program of
the show. The other parts of the pro
gram were rs fine as we have ever seen.
The acrobatic performance, the wire
walking and the aerialistic acts such as
the two ladies gave in swinging in mid
air at rapid rate at the end of "a rope
held by the teeth were artistic and Elk
citing to the audience who witnessed
the performance. The work done by
the family of tumblers created great
interest. The family was composed of
three brothers and three sisters, sup
posedly at least, and they do look very
much alike. They came out in their
ordinary clothing as though they had
just been sitting around the house or
lounging in the yard. The two young
women were dressed fit for the street
and in these garments did their work,
all of which was well done and showed
remarkable skill as well as strength.
The show went from here to Jefferson
for the Monday exhibition.

GREAT BAND COMING
THURSDAY JULY %
Remember That The Big italian Band
Which Was Advertised Comes
On Thursday The Second Day

The national airs never sound SO
inspiring as when rendered by a
great band. No matter how well
drilled or how capable the musical
organization, there is always some
thing lacking whe" the national airs
are reached unless the tremendous
volume is present that only big
band can supply.
This is the bands big place In mu-
sic. This Is the reason why every
one loves band There is a hero
ism, dash and go to their work
that are possible nowhere else.
Our Chautauqua patrons are going
to have the opportunity of their lives
this summer for hearing one of these
great organizations. Signor Pas
qualle Ferrante will be here with his
celebrated Royal Italian Guards
Band. There are twenty-four artists
In this superb organization and many
soloists. Signor Pasqualle is band
master of great fame and leads his
men to heights of musical splendor.
Every nook and Granny of the vast
auditorium 10 filled with the resonant
volume of liquid poetry that flows
from the twenty-four instruments,
and every heart Is made to throb in
response to the bandmaster's call
There are only few great bands
in the world and the Royal Italian
Guards Is one of the greatest. Ev-
erywhere they have appeared they
have given a new impetus to music
and re-estRblished the supremacy Of
the band as the peoples favorite mu-
steal organization.
The programs Of the Royal Italian
Band are models of artistic discern
ment. The varying moods through
which the numbers pass lead the
hearts Of the listeners on many ex-
cursions OF delight, They hear the
ripple of waters and the singing OF
birds-the sough. Of the winds
through treetops and the thunder o,
the cataract-the tender throbs OF
maiden's heart and the roar of the
reused lion. And when, under the
spell of the masters hand there ara
coaxed from the giant instruments
those riotous' peals that wake tho
echoes. one realizes that climax of
grandeur has been reached.
The work Of this great band will
prove delight to our patrons. Tho
attraction is strong enough to draw
from great distance. We antici-
pate record breaking crowds when
the Royal Italian Guards Band ap.

hour was the deserted farmhouse, the
slope of wheatfield that led to the
road, the woodland lot, the pasture
We breakfasted together across the
homely table. Our cheerfulness, at
first sheer reaction, became less forced
as we ate great slices of bread from
the granny oven back of the house,
and drank hot fluid that smelled like
coffee and tasted like nothing that I
have ever swallowed. We found cream
in stone Jars, sunk deep In the chill
water of the springhouse. And there
were eggs, great yellow-brown ones
