\ man by the name Of Ashbaugh from
Topeka struck town yesterday with a
cargo Of cheap bicycles which he stored
in vacant store room on East Douglas

street parades and talked a good deal
from an open carriage.
During MS talk he took occasion 10
roast \. J. Musselman. saying he
was a sissy boy who parted his hangs
in the middle and didn't know anything
Of bicycles or the business. He further
declared thai Musselman's advertise

but he added ne would not guarantee

Ashaaugh got excited and FLASHED $500

Musselman nor any one else could bug
them at that price, as he alone had ex-

AND NOW THE CIRCUS
First Prosperity, and Then Ringing Bros.
Greatest Show on Earth.

And now the circus. Not one Of your
little, commonplace affairs. with one
ring. a lonely clown and performance
that even an ordinary man can see with
one eye, but a big, three-ring affair, with
more going on at one time than any
four or even six-eyed Individual could
take in at one time; circus that mas
all the curious things one ever heard OF,
with a lot more that no one but circus
man ever dreamed Of; circus that gives
more for the money than any other
Show on earth. There isn't a boy in
town who wouldn't guess the name OF
the Show the first time. Wichita has
unlimited praise for only one big show,
and that is Ringing Bros circus. No
show that ever exhibited here has ever
been 50 popular, and none is so sure or
a cordial welcome from the public. Since
the last visit OF Ringing Bros. to Wich-
ia the show has been vastly enlarged.
There are now twice as many cars;
twice as many elephants, twice as many
people: twice as much seating capacity;
twice as many rare wild animals; twice
as many tents; twice the hippodrome
space, AMI twice the number Of sur
passing arenic features, while a princely
fortune has been expended in an all
rev street parade, which for wealth Of
costuming, richness Of coloring and nov
city of feature has never been equalled.
Think of % elephant-25 pachyderms,
ranging from the tiniest of baby ele-
hot
ever troi the earth, TO say nothing Of
the only genuine pure white elephant
ever seen in America; think of 400 match |
less. spirited, housekeeping horses, |
proudly caparisoned in cloth of gold and |
waving plumes; think Of a phalanx of
over 1000 people, among whom are hun |
dreds Of artists, especially imported from |
Europe for the sole purpose Of amusing |
ana instructing the discriminating |
American public; think of dens upon |
dens of rare wild animals. caught in the /
junglss of widest Africa and Asia, often |
at the expense Of life or limb, and |
brought 10 America at an almost fabu-
lous outlay, and exhibited in the most
beautifully carved and Enthusiastically
ornate golden cages ever constructed;
think of a huge hippodrome amphithea-
ire, So enormous in its dimensions as to
furnish seating capacity for the entire
Of good sized county; think
Of a ground space devoted TO arenic dis
plays alone large enough to cover a
city block, and racing course. all un-

teristics of Ringing Bros truly marvel

The old, dear love that no night could dim
The tender warmth of a fire within?
The light from no sun or earth lamp lent!
The music born of no instrument?

There are chords, once broken, no hand can

Strong chords that snap where they can

these rails runs at rolley mechanism
