There are more dwelling houses in
course of construction in Chanute
than any ether town in southern Kan
sas. Our population is increasing
rapfGiy and our citizens all appear to
have work, but would it not be wise
TO make an effort along the line OF
getting some manufactures to locate
here so as to guarantee regular en-
pigment for our population and for
many more who desire to locate here.
We need -four mill, a canning fac
tory, an ice plant and many other in
dustries. Why not make a united
effort to get one or all of the above
named plants here before spring?
Lets organize a commercial club and
get after them.
Ringing Bros famous Worlds
Greatest Shows will exhibit in Cha
mite Monday, Oct. rs. The event will
be an interesting one, not only because
of the popularity Of this wonderful
amusement institution, but also be-
cause the present season marks a dis
tinct era in the growth of this biggest
of big shows. Since last season the
paraphcrnalia Of the show has been
entirely reconstructed, while the en-
tire exhibition has been so vastly en-
larged that it is now fully twice as
large as during the season of 1896.
There are twice as many elephants;
twice as many railroad cars; twice as
many people; twice as many perform
ers; twice as much seating capacity;
twice as many arenic spaces; twice as
much space on the huge hippodrome
course for the exciting racing contests,
and twice as many Of the great and
distinctive features which have hith-
erto given Ringing Bros. famous cir
Gus it's superb individuality. 1t is
evident that such an enormous en-
largement of an exhibition, already
vastly larger and better than its con-
temporaries, must have entailed the
expenditure of princly sum, and it is
not a surprise to learn that the actual
capital invested in Ringing Bros.
Worlds Greatest Shows this season is
over SO, 100000 This, moreover, COM
prehends only portion of the outlay,
for the daily cost of operating this
stupepdous institution averages $7.400
