GENTRY BROTHERS BRING
NEW FEATURES
While Gentry Brothers shows
which will visit this city next
Saturday, September 20, are not
1 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 America’s 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 jn the
old country, persistently 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 tem
pted by the fancy price offered
for his ware. This was the case
with these performers- They
put, as they thought, a prohib
itive price on their services, but
when the figure was agreed to
by Gentry Brothers the French
men decided they v/ould acept
the alternative and come to A
CONSTIPATION.
!ts Cause and How to Cure it
Eat too much,
Stomach feels bloated,
All out of sorts,
Don’t feel like work to-day. Guess
I’ve another case of biliousness.
“Take anything?”
“Yes; some pills, but no results; sup
pose I’m getting ironclad. Sometimes \
double the dose, then they physic me sc.
I hard I’m too weak to work. Think I’ll
! have to try something new.”
! “Ever try Prickly Ash Bitters?”
“No; I’ve heard a good deal about it
, but never tried it.”
“Well, you’ll be pleased with the re
suits.”
j The purgative action of Prickly Asr
Bitters not only removes hard impac
tions, gas and impurities, but it strength
ens the muscular action of the bowels
which causes them to move regularly.
Prickly Ash Bitters is a bowel tonic
and regulator in the truest sense. It
promotes daily evacuations, establishes
healthy movements and is the best
known remedy for disordered digestion,
flatulence and a constipated habit.
D. M. Blaekwelder, of Litchfield, 111., says t
the Litchfield Neva: "lam perfectly willing, it
fact glad to testify to the value of Prickly Ash
Bitters ns a medicine for the kidueys, stomach
| and bowels. I have used it whenever I neede?
| anything of the kind for the last fifteen year
' and it lias always given satisfaction."

Look at these two men. They have been to market their I
cotton. One put his money in the bank and the other did g
not. They were held up on their way home. The silly fel- I
low who wanted to take his money home had to “deliver” I
to the robbers. The other was able to give them the laugh I

merica, for one season at least.
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
ers Shows annexed the services
■ of the “International Coiques”,
a 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
ame Heloise, whose act was the
talk of Continental Europe. She
is the world’s greatest woman
horse trainer. The horses she
used before royalty are said to
be the finest in the world. Mad
ame Heloise, through the offorts
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
mit that the human bqjng could
accomplish such a thing, but
the Cevene trio have disproven
the theories of the scientific
world.
Another feature with Gentry
Brothers shows is Don Boucha
ro. This man, a Spaniard, has
subdued and trained ft 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
Gentry shows are this year twice
as large as ever before. (Adv)

The American Indian will socaa
exist only in history. His exter
mination has been gradual, but
will be sure. He has gradually
been driven from his happy
home in the east to a few barren
reservations in the west, where,
by amalgamation, dissipation or
separation he is fast becoming
extinct.
The Redskin has always been
one of the most picturesque as
well as cunning of the races. He
is quick of perception, fleet of
foot, loyal to a friend and un
yielding to an enemy. There are
many other things that make
the Indian interesting to people
who know very little about them
or their habits. Even at this ad
vanced period there are many
people in America who have nev
er seen an Indian.
The Buffalo from which the
Indian secured almost all his
supplies, is also nearly extinct.
Once the vast herds had almost
undisputed title to and posses
sion of as many thousand miles
of miles as the Indians had to
their hunting grounds. Count
less millions of these monarchs
of the plains roamed over the
west, but today they can be
counted by some few hundreds.
With KIT CARSON’S «3UF
FALO RANCH BIG THREE
RING WILD WEST CIRCUS
there are some of the most not
ed of the different tribes of In
dians as well as the largest herd
and most magnificent specimens
of Buffalo in existence today.
The American Bison is now one
of the rarest and most expensive
animals and it will pay to visit
this world famous attraction if
for nothing but to see the last of
the Buffalo.
Will exhibit the day only, af
ternoon and night, at Newport,
on Wednesday, Sept. 17. (Adv)
