he proposes engaging a negro mln-

IG. E. Mckay left for New Ulm Sat
urday to look over the attractions at
the Brown county fair, with the
view of obtaining some Of them for
| the Redwood county show. Among
those desired are the Bernhart
| Brothers, famous acrobats, who are
wanted especially for their famous
trick cabin act, one OF the most
| humorous acrobatic feats on the
stage, patterned somewhat after one
| of the feats in Hanlon Bros. Fan
tasma, lie Voyage en- Suisse. Aside
from this feat the boys do a slack
wire act and the noted three brother
act. One OF the brothers is Harry
Bernhart, who had charge of the
combination here at the celebration
a year ago last Fourth. and who did
the slack wire act, and also made
himself highly popular with the
local committee by having his com
bination furnish amusement when
ever there happened to be a gap.
1 It is possible that Richards, a
tight rope walker. who stands on
his head on the wire, walks blind
folded. walks on stills, walks in
cheese boxes, and performs other
acts equally thrilling. all 30 feet
above ground, will be engaged.

|aeronauts in the world, at New UIm
last week, are being arranged for.
The dogs make the ascension alone,
land when the manager gives them
the signal, a pistol shot, they make
their parachute drop. They have
made 80 ascensions this year with
out accident Of any kind.
The Richards family, il their
famous flying ..rapeze act, are also
offered inducements to come here.
Their act is performed on three
trapezes arranged one above another,

ment is to give a free show in the
Ieity IN the forenoon, q platformt to be
erected on one of the thoroughfares
Ifor that purpose. In the afternoon
the show will be on the fair grounds
and the usual admission of % cents
will be charged.

purse or arrange for a ball game, ID
which the local team will be one Of
