Number Of Stunts Pulled or By Il
Cowsboys and Indians; Several
Unique Features

That Mankato Is a good show town
was again demonstrated yesterday by
the thousands that patronized the-aft-
ernoon and evening performances of
the 101 Wild West show. Special
street car service was at hand and the
large aggregations of people were
handled with an ease and smoothness
that reflects good credit on street car
hands. the local authorities and the
circus managers. There were some
complaints of picking Of pockets.
Such a show as that which was I'm the
city yesterday is always followed by
a gang OF pickpockets. Such men are
frequently well-dressed and pass them
selves off without difficulty as re-
spectacle people. II Is almost impos-
sible to spot them unless they are
caught in the act.
What the Indians and cowboys did
with their guns and horses consti-
tuted the main feature of the circus.
The horses showed wonderful inteili-
gence. Their dancing in time to music
was perhaps the most remarkable
stunt. The lassoing by the cowboys
was feature that excited no small
amount Of wonder. There was one lit
tie performance which would be OF
intense interest to the student of
physics. A man threw little white OBJ
jects, i'm the form of right angles. in
such a way that they circled about
and came back to his hand. Not the
most clever baseball pitcher, with
his mystic curves, ever threw with
such an odd composition OF forces.
Willard Was Appiauded.
When Jess willard came out on
horse back. in his broad -brimmed hat
and cowboy costume. there was a
universal burst OF applause. He re-
moved his hat and bowed I'm acknowl-
edgment. Later in the evening he and
his trainer. Walter Monaghan per-
formed several intensely interesting
rounds On platform.
Among the curiosities that were on
exhibition was a three legged child.
May-Joe This creature Is about as
odd freak of nature as one Is apt to
meet in lifetime. There are three
legs, though not one of them Is we'll
formed. The child Is to all appear
ances very healthy.

show had on exhibition. IL she stood

feet six inches Of anatomy. for she
has him beaten by eight inches. In
the same tent were on exhibition two
midgets. a young man and woman.
twenty-four and twenty-five inches
high, respectively.
Van load after van load Of the cir
Gus paraphernalia. after its part In the
show had been performed, moved of
the grounds for the cars. long before
the program YVES over. II is a show
I'm itself to see both the establish :
ment and disestablishment of a circus
on any given ground. All moves with
precision that surpasses the man
agement OF an ordinary modern army.
Every person has just this and that
thing to do at given moment. Both
sections of the circus train were
loaded during the night and departed
for Rochester. to make ready for to-
days performance there.

pure and very we'll trained voice was
one of the attractions on Father Bur-
ke's program OF yesterday. The foun-

should bear good fruit. She sang ex-
ceptionally good music and sang II
well. Her manner Is sweet and dig
nified." The Newton Evening Kansan
Republican says: 1T has been gener-
ally expressed among musically in
clined people that distinct surprise
was given them I'm Miss Kathleen

vance notices. In fact she possesses
a wonderfully sweet, --interpretative

and rich. She contributed two groups
last evening. and the audience was
loath to have her leave the stage after

she turn her attention to operatic
singing. there is place for her at
