BETTER THAN EVER.
The Denison Street Fair This
Year Will Surpass All.
HELD SEPT. 8 TO II INCLUSIVE


Making Four big Days The Committee
| has Completed Arrangements for the
Free Attractions.
Tue Deaison Street Fair for 1903
promises 70 outshine anything OF like
nature ever given to an amusement
loving people 10 western Iowa. We
say this knowing it is broad assertion.
but il is a fact nevertheless.
At meeting of the business men
| when the street fair came up for dis
cussion the most emphasized subject
under discussion was the fact that we
must gives better fair than we did last
year No one will say that last years
street fair was not q success and that
| everyone was pleased with it bat with
the large list of attractions that have
now been secured there is not the
least doubt but that the 1903 fair viii
| be a monster.
Another matter the committe has
arranged for is that three plat
forms will be erected at different
places and shows that are absolutely
free will take place on all of these
platforms. This will enable the
people to get a better view and will
around and yet not miss q single act.
On Sunday last MIR. Chas. j. Carter
of Chicago, proprietor of the National
Theatrical Exchange met the com
mittee by appointment, and contracted
for the free attractions. The attrac-
tions cos: considerable more than last
year, but the committee felt justified
in securing them.
One of the best and most expensive
OF these we mention the Stein-Erettos
family, the greatest acrobates of their
kind in the world. They are direct
from Europe. having only very recent
ly landed in the United States. Among
the many almost impossible feats they
perform is one where they leap over
eight men, all standing, and lighting
on their hands On table. Another
feature is the human bridge, they actu
ally form human bridge. Three of
the members lie on the floor and by
series of twists and wonderful muscu.
lar exertions these three form Ia living
bridge in which position they pivot
one another by turning around. These
two feats alone are worth coming
,, long distances to see. This family is
guaranteed to the committee to be one
of the very best in the world
Another great attraction is to be
the DeHolis & Valera people, said to
be the funniest, prettiest, most dainty
dressed attraction put upon the plat-
| form. A barrel of dishes is broken at
each act. 1t is said the male member
! by breaking enough dishes to start
newly married couple in housekeeping.
Nearly $40 worth of perishable proper
ties destroyed in each performance.
This attraction is distinct one and
will amuse everyone.
A feature that will be particularly
amusing to not only the little ones but
also the older ones is RAIDERS Dog
| Show The time of the act is 30 min
utes. And is said to be a half hour of
real enjoyment watching the wonder
full and clever tricks performed by the
CANNES. They scale high fences,
answer questions, and respond quickly
to the voice of their masters.
Everyone who attended the last
years fair will remember the iolly
tramps and the time they had in the
box car. This season there will be
presented an act of far more merit and
more laughable situations. A team of
clever acrobates performing in comic
makeup series of laughable and
difficult somersaults, dives, leaps and
jumps through windows, chimneys,
over the roof, etc. A house is erected
on the platform, for this team.
For an act showing the wonderful
strength and seemingly impossible

Their ring performing aud tumbling
and dumbell performances are simply
marvellous. There isn't q team in the
country their superior.
All these attractions will be given
upon platforms erected and viii be
absolutely free to every body. 1t took
lots of money to get them, but the COM
mittee felt justified in getting nothing
but the oesU going.
Now That the fair is assured and the
dates set every business man in Deni-
son will take hand, and see that it is
N. de a success, from start to finish.
| Every man, woman and child in Craw-
ford should begin to lay plans to at
| tend.
The advertising matter will soon be
distributed and list of other attrac.
| lions will be announced later.
