SHOWS TOLARCE CROWD
GENTRY BROS. LARGER THIS YEAR THAN EVER BEFORE.
 WILL SHOW TONIGHT.

Trained animals rule the day Young America in this city says SO There can be no doubt of it, because when the tented show comes to town the youngster becomes an authority Gentry Brothers show arrived this morning, and ever since the little folks have been suffering from brain storms that only a sight of the per forming animals can relieve.
 The Gentry shows are larger this year than ever before. This is not a press agents comment, but it was the opinion of thousands of those that saw it's largely increased parade his forenoon. Many remember the Gen try shows when their street parade consisted of two or three carriages filled with dogs of high degree. But today one animal in the parade was bigger than any loadr that can be hauled by the biggest wagon in the city He is one of the elephants.
 Animals of the jungle have been added to the show, and this spreads the scope of trained creatures with the show from the realms of the common house cat to the beast of far India and Nubia.
 A self-apponted committee of thousands saw the shows come in. A goodly portion of the army follow ed them to the show grounds. Then a large portion of the added caravan went to the show this afternoon. If applause counts for anything, the show certainly gave satisfaction. The children were kept in roar all through the performance
 At 4 o'clock the show was over and the children went home to tell father about it. Fathers only chance to es- cape the consequent continued story is for him to slink off tonight and see the show himself. The Gentry shows cater especially to ladies and children but the paternal parents may come if they promise to ba good This is the dspensation of the little folks. There will be another performance at 8 o'clock tonight. Tie doors will open an hour earlier.

MADE PRETTY POINT OF LAW
Astute Lawyer Secured Verdict From
Railroad Company by His Con.
vincing Argument.

The story Is told that in the early
days of the railroad in the west there
was farmer who owned two we'll
bred and useful dogs, named Major
and Tige. The dogs one morning
chased stray hog down the road and
stopped to play at the railroad cross
ing, with the result that Tise was
struck by an engine and killed. The
owner promptly brought suit for dam
ages against the road.
Damage suits were new thing at
that time, and there were many neigh
bors and sympathizers present at the
hearing. The ingineer svore that he
gave sharp blast OF the whistle as
he approached the crossing. 1t looked
as If the railroad company was ito
go scotfree," but the attorney for the
farmer knew his justice.
your honor" he said, "it Is re-
quired by the statutes in such cases
made and provided that when any per
son or domestic animal is up railroad
and is seen by the engineer. he must
sound his whistle In this instance,
your honor, there were two domestic
animals innocently playing on the
track, and the whistle was sounded
only once, when 1t is & positive legal
requirement that 1t should have been
blown twice, once for each dog"
So convincing was this argument
that the country Justice would not
even give the railroad attorney a hear
ing, and awarded the plaintiff the full
amount of damages sued for.-The
