FLOWERS, Sec'y. ALL ANIMALS ARE ACTORS. Every Wild Animal with, Robin-s CimiH Are Actors. Kovbt before in the history of the circus lousiness has such a dhv nlav of educated wild animals been, 'exhibited as can be found with the v.i Hhreo-R nt Wllci Atmoi oirona tht season. Ani- mala carry on almost the entire performance.

Not on'y are the wild animals displayed in steel oouira arenas in the big tent in all kinds of acts and tricks, but the performance has lost none of the old fa-vorrte stunts of the circus we have all visited every year. CIowhb by the. dozen, led by sucHi international favorites as Billy JOlinscn, Fredoy Gay, Eddie Doric, Joe Marvello and a host of fun makers who have no peer, keep the audience in a con-t'aual uproar. 1 Two trains cf cars, a herd ol elephants and camels, a complete carnlvl caompany, a wild animal display with every animal an actor, a wild west performance, led! by JIn Kinney the world gteatest buck ing horse rider, the fines, horses ever exhibited In fact, the great- est and most satisfying performance si GIVE US THE INFORMATION. We have received anonymous communications, saying that cer tain men of draft age in Gentry county ware making foils, representations in their affidavits claiming discharge from liability for army service.

We will pay no attention to anonymous tetters, but will be glad if any one knowing that false representations are being made wlu come forward and give a the facts. And if any man in Gentry county is escaping the draft by means of misrepresentation and falsehood in his affidavit, we will be glad to revoke discharge order in such cases and see to it that the man making them la called to ser vice, even after order or tne ooara dtecharein him has bee en maae. Of course there are a rood many, men over me cwuingr who are unknown to US. So If yoU know of any one trying to evade) service through craud, ten about it, and we will see that the man trying to perpetrate, the fraud la one of the first sen' to me iroui. CHESTER C.

It has odfcn been remarked what chances bootleggers will take in or1 red to get and sell forbidden booze, and the papers of late have had a good many Instances to relate, especially as affects the bootlegging of the contraband into Iowa and Kansas.
