The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1900-10-06

bit off the head Of large rattlesnake.
It seemed mighty sIard work, but then
the head came off. Bosco placed the head
on the sand and it gave two or three lit
tie jumps, and then the people looked at
each other and said "ah.''N To prove that
he was all right, Bosco rolled the skin
from the snakes body down little bit
and placed part of the body of the snake
in hish mouth and bit off another piece,
which he ate After the fact became
noised around larger crowds than ever
went to see the man who bit the heads,
off, In spite of that fact Manager Tull
says he wants to sell out or get a part
ner.
Lunette continued to take the mid-air
trips after being hypnotized for the act.
The crowds filled the tent every little
while and some of the visitors even
climbed up on the tent poles and used
them for reserved seats. But Lunette
attracted admiration, and evry one won
dered just how she did those things; but
of course Lunette did not tell them.
Sam Amidon was among Cte other
Wichita people at the Midway and he
had a great time. In his wanderings
around he met Tom Fitch and the two
took in the whole thing. The Streets of
Cairo attracted them and they went to
see the dancing girls. Sam couldn't get a
seat, but IN spite Of that he saw the per-
Torrance.
The Cairo doings drew large crowds
and Manager De Krekio watched them
with a satisfied look Even the camels
looked satisfied as the people viewed
them, and they were evidently glad to
have had part in Wichita's big day.
The Crystal Maze was a maze for sure
yesterday when the tent was full of peo-
pie, and that was all afternoon and even
ing. When the people went in they COM
menced to look confused, and when they
got clear inside and saw what seemed to
be a large crowd they were more than
confused. One country lad when he got
on the inside and looked around said to
a companion: Gee, this old thing must
have stretched out since came in here"
And that was the way it was all evening.
Everybody liked the appearance of being
many, and they found that kind of a
place for sure in the Crystal Maze.
The German Village had few visitors
The few were so many that they could
not accommodate every one and at inter
walls the gate keeper said: mo admit
lance; she is full" And such was the
case. But the village was attractive. The
Tyrolean Singers continued to please and
Professor Morrison with his hits on the
board with his chalk made things lively.
Along in the afternoon the talker for
the village took a vacation, and to ease
his conscience Henry HUFFMAN mounted
the stand, and then the fun commenced.
AT firstthe people thought that Henry
was joking, but when he settled down TO
business they all decided that the village
was worth seeing and in they went They
were not disappointed, with the exception
that they couldn't get any sausages.
The Temple of Jerusalem was in lin,
for a large patronage in the after
and evening, and every visitor enjoyed
the affair. The description Of the things
if interest is one of the best parts of the
attraction, and 1t aids the sightseer.
Everybody waited around for a long
time last night just to see the fountain
play. The people were tired and they
knew it, but they wanted to see that
fountain with its beautiful colors, and
they saw it and gave just as much APP
plause as was possible. Even ]. H Nc
Call was there in spite of the danger Of
having his hat mashed by the crowd.
The fountain was beautiful The water
nymph came up for the public's view and
when the lightning changes were made
round after round of applause met the
different views. The fountain will be in
operation tonight and Wichita people will
then have an opportunity Of seeing it for
the last time.
The Idols Of Art were in line yesterday
for many visitors. Their tent is off on
one side and the visitor is liable to miss
it in the excitement Of seeing the other
Little Minnie Shaw, near the entrance,
excited the curiosity of hundreds yester- |
Gay. When the people were on the in
side they were even more curious than
ever and Mrs. Shaw was forced to an
swer many questions all day long.
By common consent the Midway people |
will all be here tonight, and the whole |
thing will be just as lively as ever.
