The attempt on Mr Thienen'e life was one of the moat outrageous and unprovoked assaults ever committed in tmecity, for there was oo row in progress and no imaginable motive for tbs attack. At the time tbe assault was made there was a large crowd gathered around tbe entrance to the tent aod jam was created that blocked tbe door. Mr. Tbiesssn eodeavored to get tbe crowd to give back to make way for several ladies who were tryiog to eoter the tent. The crowd of negroes did not comply with his request to move aed be theo undertook to push his way through to make room for those who wiihed to enter tbe tent When be did ibis negro witb a'club or stick in bis hand at* tempted to strike him. Fie c*ugbi tbe negroe's arm to ward off tbe blow and tbe negro tbeo slashed at his face or throat with a rasor. He threw up bis arm to protsct his face aod caught the blow on tbe elbow. The raior cut to the bone, making a dan? gerous aod vicious lookiog wound e-verai inches loog. Several arteries were severed, but though tbe large artery of tbe forearm was laid bare it wee oot severed. As soon as Mr Tbiesseo was cut he j imped inside the tent entranco to obtain e weapon to defend himself, bet fainted from pain aod loss of blood before he could do so. Dr Stuckey, who tbb io tbe tent, was called to Mr. Thiessen'e assistance and ren? dered immediate attention, and theo had him removed 1 to the Baker & Dick In?rmary, where the wounds wer<s dressed. Mr. Tbies sen's condition for several hours was ex* tremely criti:al, and artificial respiration bad to be resorted to to keep life io bis body. He lost a great (leal of blood and was so seriously weakened that he did not have tbe vitality to rally. Tbe ?ext day be rested easily aod is believed to ba out of daoger.

GENTRY'S WONDERFUL TRAINED ANIMALS. Prof. Gentry's famous Pony and Dog Show, that baa visited every city and town of importance in tbe United States and Canada ia retent yeare and bus always surprised and delighted tbe largest audiences with 'hp ma.* veloos feats performed by ihe trained ponies, dogs and monkeys, gave a lefform^ce in the city Friday, Novemrrr 2t. Tbl street pttrada which whs lmtpti at 10 30 in tb? morn* ing wae but a foretaste of the renlly wonder? ful rrr!ormanr? ut 2 30 o'clock. It is con? sidered remarkable when men or worcen execute difficult feats in an ordin?re; circus, but when the anitrals trained by Prof Gen try are seen, tbe unanimous verdict is that tbe performance is little short of marvelous. Tbose who did not attend the porformanse today should by all means see tbe exhibition tbat begins at 8 o'clock tbia evening. There There are no more intelligent or better train? ed anim-ils in the world, and tbose who ones see them never doubt that some animals, at least, are endowed with almost human intel- I Irgencs. Tbe perform* r co is or. er.ed by a drill of twelve of the rxost beautiful little pomes ever seen in n group and tbey are so well trained tbat but little coaching from their ring master is needed. Tbe dogs, too numerous to defcrihe in detail, are carried through a series of per* formances that will interest any child and tbe larger part of adults. In every circus there is one or more nare b&ck riders, who attract their sbare of at* teotion, and to say tbat all of the bareback riders traveling is closely rivaled by one of I Gentry's deps would at first be put down as i folly,this though If an absolute fact. A blnck I pooy is brooizt t > 'to the ring with a pad oo its bock and on this a small colly mounts, unassisted and rides around tbe ring at the ponj's best pace. Then the dog leaps from tbe back of the small borse and tbe pad beiDg removed tbe two rice around the ring side by side at a dead run, when suddenly tbe dog with a graceful spring nouots the pony's bareback again, maintains its pcsttioo and completes its ride, seeming to enj >y it to the full extent of which a dumb animal || capable. Tbe two trained baby elephants, Pinto and S?iao, are veritable wonders in tbeir per? forming. Possibly the most iotere?iint* and amusing part of tbe whole programme is ihe rnioH'.ure fire department a small any ro*rdi;>g boase at crc file, of the ring suddenly bursts into a blhzj aud the i:boird:rs ' (dogs) make tbeir escape through the wicdo^s of tbe er??rd story, sooz :. hose cafrUgl iud book au?l lad? der CO" piDV^iboot the Uli of pooy carriages aod differing rot a! all Id style from tbe reg? ulation department eppltALCea, dr?wo by pairs of ponies, well miicbej, dasb up to the scene ot Ihe fire Tbe truck company is composed of dogs and Udders ere raised to the windoira of the house up wbicb tbey run and rescue a victim who bad not b*en fortu* oate enough escape when the fire was first discovered I? the meantime a monkey un* reels a Moo of a hose Then op d?shes a small fi*c engine to which tbe bo?e pipe is c:nuecled and two monkeys pumping the engic.e ib- nczzumao (a third monkey) throws a stream of water cn the fire A Strong Fortification Fortify the body against disease by Tutt's Liver Pills, an abso? lute cure for sick headache, dys? pepsia, sour stomach, malaria, constipation, jaundice, bilious ness and all kindred troubles "The Fly - Wheel dl Life" Dr.Tutt; Your Liver Pills are the fly- wheel of life.
