From Hot Springs Fire From -Nmong Business Men of
 Capital City.
Spec.al to Independent.


 Little Rock, Sept. 8.-At a mass meeting of Little Rock citizens held at the City Hall Sunday afternoon, for the pur- pose of taking action toward the relief of the fire sufferers in Hot Springs, there were about 75 of the representative business men of the city present.
 Mayor Charles E. Taylor, who had spent two days in the strick- .en city, and is familiar with the situation, was made chairman of the meeting, Fletcher Chenault secretary and George Thornburg chairman.
 Reports were made of the needs of the people, and it was agreed as the sense of those as-
 
 sembled that Little Rock should contribute S10,000 to- ward the relief of the victims. This is to be raised as speedily as possible, as the demands for for aid are urgent. Committees were appointed to canvass the city at once, so that as much as possible of the S10,O00 may be in hand by this evening, to be forwarded at once to the Relief 'Committee. Specific commit tees take care of the down town district, and the respective al dermen were designated to ap- point subcommittee to canvass the outlying wards.

American Patriotism.

There is something thrilling and inspiring in the spectacle or Chas. Warren Fairbanks, ex- vice president of the United States, and a loyal Republican, coming out in a public speech and eloquently defending the administration of Democratic President Woodrow Wilson, m the Mexican affair, and calling upon his fellow citizens to sup port the president. There is pa triotism in this which rises a. bove partisan rancor and sell seeking. Hnd demonstrates to the world that Americans nc matter what their political poll tics. are loyal to their govern ment in time of stress.-Mem- nhis News-Scimitar.

General Rains Break DrOuth

General rains over Jackson County Sunday morning brought relief from the long drouth, but came too late to do cotton any material good except in filling out the partially grown bolls.
 While the precipitation meas ured 2.1 inches on the govern ment gauge, the river has shown no disposition to rise. The soil was so dry, that the moisture did not last long on the surface. The rain will greatly help hay, meadows, pasturage, turnlps and brings much relief from the heavy dust.

 Senator James Clarke, while he has not definitely announced his candidacy for another term, will be in the race, and with two hard campaigners such as Kirby and Clarke in the field, it will not lack for interest. While others have been mentioned as receptive, it is generally believ- ed that the final issue will be drawn between these two.

GENTRY BROTHERS BRING
 NEW FEATURES
Many European Artists of Unu- sual Note Are On Roster of
 FavOrite Shows.

y Saturday, September 20, are not new to this community, they bring with them many things that are new to America this season. Among these features are many trained animals, but first of all is the list of Europe an novelty acts.
 During the winter the agents of the Gentry Brothers made a very careful and thorough can- vass of Europe, gathering to- gether the most novel features possible for Americas most closely censored shows. In France the agents secured Bou- chard and Blanchard, the great est gymnasts that ever claimed the home of Napoleon as their own.
 For many seasons this troupe of performers remained in the old country, consistently refus- ing to come to America. When a man has something to sell and the other fellow wants it, then the seller is sooner or later tenn pted by the fancy price offered for his ware. This was the case with these performers. They put, as they thought, a prohib- tive price on their services, but when the figure was agreed to by Gentry Brothers the French men decided they would accept the alternative and come to A. merica, for one season at least. r. When the contract for an A. merican tour was closed Marcell and Lennett, another French company, decided to visit Amer ica. In this way Gentry Broth CTS Shows annexed the services of the international Coiques", ], la clever set of tumblers, who also have long hesitated to leave their native land.
 In Germany at the time these contracts were closed, was Mad anne Heloise, whose act was the talk of Continental Europe. She is the worlds greatest woman horse trainer. The horses she used before royalty are said to be the finest in the world. Mad anne Heloise, through the efforts of an American consul acepted a contract to appear in America. This season she is one of the es- pecial features with Gentry Brothers Shows.
 Through Madame Heloise the Cevene Trio, who, three years ago startled the medical and dental worlds by acts of daring, were engaged. This company of performers are accustomed to dangling in the air while sus- pended by their teeth. Time was when no medical man would ad- init that the human being could accomplish such a thing, but the Cevene trio have disproVen the theories of the scientific
 world.
 1 Another feature with Gentry i Brothers shows is Don Boucha- TO. This man, a Spaniard, has
 subdued and trained ferocious family of leopards and lions, and
 with animals of the domesticat- ed kind, he presents a perform ance of unusual merit. In ad-
 dition to these new features Gentry Brothers All Feature Shows will present many others, the product of years of study on the part of animal trainers. The 1 Gentry shows are this year twice

to live their daily life.

Ninety-four of the boys made an aver
age of 80 per cent and over. A few
made a perfect mark. The Richmond
