had been told that he would not get any

of one committee and on three others,

THE GREAT SHOW
The Sells Bros. & Barrett advertising |
car left last evening for Hutchinson. Pete |
Sells, who was along with the car, said |
they would show in sixteen towns in Kan |
sas this year. Last year they made very |
few dates in the state owing to bad crops, |
leaving for California on the Fourth of |
July, where they have been ever since. On |
their way east they will stop at Wichita. |
which goes on the boards August Is. Sew
eral locations were examined yesterday for
the show and it was decided to 30 to Riv-
erside park.
Every man, woman and child knows
that the Sells Brothers, circus upon its |
last visit to this place was by far the best
circus organization that ever came this
way. This year these enterprising mana
gers have formed corner on the show
business by consolidating Barrett's
Worlds Fair with their enormous exhibit
ton, and after this season it Will he hard
for the average show to satisfy the public
with a moderate exhibition. The people,
when once educated to expect big things,
are not satisfied with commonplace or
little ones. After this season a circus to
attract the attention of our citizens will
have to be of a high order, because it must
come into comparison with the show that
preceded it, and Sells Brothers and Bar
retts united shows are so much larger
than any other in this country, there will
be no room for the small fry.
