was Sells Bros, great circus The streets
were full of people to witness the procession
and by the time that the afternoon perform
ance had begun the large tent was crowded
to its utmost capacity The circus had two
rings and platform upon which were pre-
sented some of the most pleasing and enter
tanning performance that were ever given in
the city The tuInbling and riding was
especially worthy of mention and was re-
ceived with applause by the large audience.
There was some fine specimens OF the
animal kingdom in the menagerie, among
which were a very large two-horned rhi-
noceros, the only one to be seen in a travel
ing exhibition: fine horned horse, n Rus
sian bore, two of those very rare animals,
the japanese black leopard; the large old
dro1ndary called Sam who was with the
first travelling show in America: and several
large elephants.
In the evening the crowd was large and
the performance was received with great
applause.

organization that ever visited Wichita and
will no doubt be welcomed by crowded
house They played in the ellis at Kansas
City last week and the Times of Friday,
September 8, says:
Mcintyre & Heaths MINISTRIES packed the
house from orchestra to dome, and it Is
doubtful whether a finer or better paying
audience was ever seen at the ellis. The
company have very entertaining and meri-
torious performance, and many old favorites
were recognized and were warmly received.
The end mems jokes We're in the main new
and funny, and many of the specialties and
songs captured the audience. Tom Ward's
speciality was especially clever, and Milt Bar
lows very rich dialect and character business
gained him hearty applause. The perform
ING dogs of Prof. Gleason were very interest
ing, and the musical picnic of Howard
Russell, Seeley and Talbert was very funny.
The Mayflower VS.. the Galatea, the broad
burIesque which closed the programme,
formed a laughable finale to performance
of much merit and plenty of laughter-pro-
voking specialties. The MINISTRIES will give
a performance tonight and Saturday night
and a matinee tomorrow afternoon.

HARVEST HOME FESTIVAL.

Man worsh;ps. The spirit of his worship
were Gods first temples" Their grateful
shadows and whispering leaves as the per-
frmesof an unseen censor lift the soul to Him,
who in a love and wisdom all infinite. Gre
ated all. The dim lights and half disclosed
inches, the vaulted arches and unseen CALLER
les of the grand cathedral, they break the
waves of chanted song, touch the heart of
man and its response is worship. The lonll-
ness and majestic grandeur OF the mountain 5
fastness moves the soul of man with sense
of the Almightvs presence. The budding
spring iucites to praise, the golden harvest
10 Thanksgiving. and the blanched and fall
ing leaf speaks to the spirit of man of ending
time and OF amending eternity. So. the quiet
OF the Sabbath. the abundant display of
fruit and grains about the chancel and altar,
the music, the liturgy and earnest responses
at st. Johns church on Sunday morning, all.
conspired to feeling OF worship. To an al
most uncomfortably crowded but very at
tentive, audience the pastor. Rev. CT ].
Adams, delivered beautiful discourse on
the correlation of God and man. mans part

ters pertaining TO shis life, even to the small

life, for greater and more thorough christian

MORE BIG CORN.

This season has been put down for all the
western states, including Kansas, as drouthy
and exceptionally hot, but almost every day
this office is furnished with evidences of the
fact that be the season cold or hot, Sedgwick
county never gets left. Some of the corn
brought into this Office equals that of the
most productive years. Yesterday, Mr.. D..
Ripley, who is building new home for 5.
Rutledge, of Eagle township, brought into
our Office paper bag of corn raised on the
farm of Mr. Rutledge, the ears of which av-
eraged foot in length. We did not weigh
any OF the ears, but all We're filed to the end
of the cob solidly and closely with finely ma

will have one hundred bushels to the acre,
but he estimates seventy-tive of good, full

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. There
will be 40 disappointment this time, as the
Emporia, will be sure to be here, coming up

great pans to get their grounds on the West
Wichita fair grounds in shape, and are now
as good as any in the state. Lovers of this
