THE LARGEST SHOW ON EARTH.
Coming in its Entirety-The 72d Season Of
Sells Bros. Enormous United Shows.

coming IN us Entlrety-lne 22d season OF
Sells Bros. Enormous United Shows.
The great outdoor field of tented
entertainment is now substantially
occupied by but two arrangements,
and Sells Brothers are equal part
ners" in the division. In fact, in the
exclusive possession of many rare
creatures and noted performers, they
hold first place, and their first visit
to Wellington on Oct. is surpass-
ingly rich in well-founded promises
of elaborate and enjoyable entertain
ment. Their Roman HippOdrOme,
Wild Moorish Caravan and Spectacu-
lar Pilgrimage to Mecca; enormous
Menagrie, Triple CircuseS, Tropical
Aquarium, Royal japanese Troupe
Circus of the Sahara, Aviary, Cara
van of trained animals, Arabian
Nights entertainments, and superb
Fairyland Street Parade, contain
more than enough strange sights,
thrilling races, sensational acts and
glowing pagentS for whole carnival
week. Nor does mere quantity BAN
ish quality fIom the colossal tents.
Such features as the pair of Lilipu-
tian Cattle, the flock of Ostriches,
the Hairless Horse and the pair of
giant HippOpOtami, are not to be
found elsewhere. The coliseum con-
tests are of the most exciting charac-
ter, the performances phenomenal,
and the fun epidemic, Make ready

Very little has been thought of
here this week but Strip" Never
before have so many horses, "schOon-
ers" and vehicles of all descriptions
been seen in this part of the state,
not excepting the days when this
country was settled. 1t looks as if
there will be ten hOme-seekers to
every available quarter section in
the Cherokee Strip. At Arkansas
City, Hunnewell and Caldwell thouS-
andS upon thousands of people have
been lined up before the booths wait
ing their turn to be registered every
day this week and the crowd, instead
Of diminishing seems to be increasing.
At KiOwa and Cameron not so many
"Strippers" have been lined up. At
the places where booths are located
on the south line it is said there are
as many people as at the three towns
on the north line, mentioned above.
There is much suffering at all the
points where so many people are
gathered. Water is scarce and it is
so fearful dry and dusty that the only
wonder is that scores of people do not
perish. That 'oig bag'of conceit
Secretary HOke Smith, secretary
of the interior, is getting cursed to
finish by every man that has stood in
line before one of those miserable
registering booths and suffered enough
to pay for a quarter section he stands
very little chance of ever getting.
This registering business is one of
the most foolish and worst botched
up pieces Of government work the
western people have ever suffered
from. HOke Smith ought to have to
stand in line before one of those
booths in the dust and hot winds two
days and two nights, as Others have
done, as very light punishment for
his ignorance and this dastardly ar
rangement that has caused so much
suffering. Every death from expos
ure while in these lines can only be
charged to him and his councillors.
There were not enough clerks sup
piled to register half the people who
want to make application, in the
time allotted, without working great
hardship upon the people and the few
clerks, and it is feared that all the
people cannot be registered before
Saturday noon, the 10Th. Near
ly all the people are expecting that
some new scheme will be sprung by
the department either today or to-
morrow and that this scheme will
allot the land to those who have reg
istered without having to make the
run for it. Tomorrow noon will tell,

children; and she has been instrumental
In establishing free kiutergartens, day
nurseries, the Anchorage mission, a home
for erring girls, reading room for men,
two dispensaries for the poor, two indus
trial schools, and mothers meetings. She
founded the Woman's Temperance Pub
fishing association in 1880 and Is the
founder and president of the Woman's
Dormitory association Of the Columbian
exposition and is member of the board
Of lady managers. She has done more
than any other person in maintaining and
raising money for the buildings of the
Chicago Foundling's Home and establish
ed Its aid society. She gives herself and
her time TO these charities without COM
pensaton.
The lower ten stories Of the temperance
temple are rented for business offices and
command high prices. The building is
bonded for $60000O but the rentals will,
in few years, pay off these bonds, then
onehalf OF the fine income derived will
go to the National society and the pther
half to the states pro rata as they contrib
uted toward the building fund.
Many Of the facts given above are mat
ters Of history and familiar to the readers

ticn relating to the temple was obtained
at the W. c. T. U, headquarters in the
Woman's building on the fair grounds
and has been thus complied by request.
