The Iola register., 1890-08-22

Wallace & Cos circus attracted q
tremendous crowd last Thursday.
And 1t was good show, probably the
best that lola ever saw. The street
parade was fine and was witnessed
by hundreds who came to town spe-
cially to see it. The menagerie was
not large, but was unusually well Sc
lected, containing animals that are
rarely seen except in. the very largest
shows. Two rings and a platform
were used during the performance in
| the circus, and some wonderful feats
were shown. The failure to initiate the
balloon and the, consequent omission
of the parachute act was q great dis
appointment, and the excuse of the
management that the failure was due
to the wind was received with some
thing like jeers by the crowd which
| had stood in the sun for two hours
without having observed that the wind
was blowing. But i'm the main every
body was satisfied. and If the Wallace
show ever comes this way again, ey-
erybody will go TO see il.
The REGISTER thought Ii had pub
lished nearly every kind of an adver-
tisement, but here Is new one:
"Wanted, Chinehbugs; Prof. +. III.
Snow of the University of Kansas is In
great need of some live and healthy
chinch bugs with which to carry on his
experiments in ehinchbug infection.
Anyone who will send a email lot oil
bugs by mail in n spool box or other
convenient box to Professor Snow,
| University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kan
sas, will confer a favor on the investi-
gator, and, it is to be hoped, ON the
| farmers of Kansas" We hope there
are no chinchbugs i'm Allen county,
but if there are, we hope they will be
promptly shipped to Prof. Snow. In
the first place ii would get them away
from here, and in the second place il
would help the Professor to carry on
investigations which promise to event
ually exterminate the pests.

DIR. w. H. Mcdowell started yes
terday to Parker, Ariz., to enter upOr
his duties as physician at the IndiaT
agency, an appointment which he re-
ceived some time ago through Mr.
Funston. His son Ralph accompanied
him, but the rest of the family will
remain here during the winter In
order that the children may be KEEP
at school. The Doctors friends will
hope that his position may prove 6
pleasant and lucrative one.
The Hassler Sisters were here Satur
day to meet their engagement, but not q
ticket hadbeen soldand the hallwas no
opened. 1t was partly because nobody
cares to hear an elOcutionary entertain
j ment any more, and partly because tn,
circus was here only two days before
and partly because people have learn
ed from long experience to look with
suspicion OH show which advertise.
