they had practically spent the whole

In CircuIation-LooaI People are Glad
of 1t.

Yesterday Edwin Taylor, the livery
man OF this city. closed the contract by
which Joe 3. McMahon's circus gets
possession Of the Gilbert Plow works
for their winter quarters.
The circus will be here ready to occu-
by it's new home by Nov. 1, at which
time il may give performance pro-
viding, Of course, the weather is suit
able.
Mr.. MeMahon has legion of friends
who are glad that his circus is coming
here for that, necessarily, viii bring
himself and his family as we'll as the
principal people connected with the
show which has been greatly strength
ened and added to since he was here
last
1t will also mean that when the show
starts out next year all its actors will
assemble here month in advance 10
rehearse and be fitted out and this
means the out lay Of a great deal OF
money.
The principal reason for Mr.. Mcmahon
choosing this as his winter quarters is
the short winter, the good climate and
the cheapness Of everything required
about circus quarters especially hay,
oats and corn for horses and meat for
snakes and wild animals.
1t is Said that the feed bill for the cir
Gus alone amounts TO about $500 a
month with incidental expenses a great
deal more than that. Cars will have 10
be built, cages repainted and a great
deal of other work is 10 be done, giving
employment TO a great many people.
