THE ELEPHANTS AS MUSICIANS
Buffalo Bills Wild West and Pawnee Bills Far East WilD Present Herd of Elephants With a Musical
 Education.

The unweildly elephant has taken
 a course in the animal trainers col
 lege of music, and instead of enact
 ing the ordinary "stunts" of standing
 on front or hind legs, trumpeting at command, lying down and rolling ov- CT, and taking part in the heavy work of moving circus wagons, he now
 takes his place among the artists of the animal kingdom. The science
 of training elephants has reached per- lection with Rossi's Musical Elephants and Far East exhibition which Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill will soon bring to town. These mammoths pump or gans with their feet, blow trumpets and ring bells all in time and tune and in musical harmony. Their
 marches are made musical by the ringing of many-toned bells, and they play cords upon the organs and blow harmony out of their trunks through trumpets Although these accom- are difficult to associate with the cumbersome elephant; the Rossi herd is thus favored. Years of patient endeavor have been consumed in bringing about the development of the elephantine musical talent, but the labor has not been lost. In pre- senting the specially four pretty girls beautifully gowned assist in the con- cert, dance with the elephants, and constitute and attractive feature of the specially. Signor Rossi himself di- rects the act, which is "a feature of the Oriental spectacle embraced in the Far East section of the Buffalo Bill and Pawnes Bill exhibition. Then will be the feature of a scene which will introduce Hindu fakirs, Arabian ath- letes. Japanese jugglers.

COL. SEWERS VISIT

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 10.-Citizens of Fort Smith have filed with the Arkansas Railroad Commission petition to force the Fort Smith g. Western railroad to erect a sanitary depot in that city. The petitioners claim the depot $ not only inadequata but unsanitary. The Fort Smith & Western depot in Fort Smith is one of the most valuable pieces of depot property in the state, it being located on Garrison avenue. the principal bus- mess street, in the heart of the city. The depot is two old store buildings, with general offices upstairs, and two other brick store buildings were re- moved to make room for the tracks up to the depot. Some look upon this as an effort to force the railroads to combine on a Union depot in Fort Smith.

He states that the survey has been completed to Hope and the line has been approved by the stockholders. Col. Sevier came to Little Rock to attend to mat ters pertaining to the bond issue of the railroad.
