Prominent Circus people Coming.

!, There are only four men in the
world who may be said to have world
wide reputation as clowns. Three of
this number will be in Ottumwa June
81, the date of the exhibition OF the
Great Wallace Shows They are Lon
Moore, Chris Livingston and Park By
ers, who are the principal fun-makers
1 with Wallace. They are ably assisted
: by twenty other men who are as equal
ly as ridiculous.
When intermingling with citizens on
the street, neither Moore, Livingston
or 'Byers would be suspected of wear
ing the loose robes of fool, but when
they are in the ring with their make
ups on they laugh and the crowd
laughs with them A jolly trio this,
and they have certainly helped to I'M
load at least temporarily the cares
from the minds of thousands Of people.
Glowing is an art of itself, the best
clowns are born-not made. The fun
making department of the Great Wal.
lace Show is fully up to the high stan
dard of its other departments, in fact,
many person will testify to the state
ment, that the antics of the clowns
of this show are. worth the price OF adj
mission. Their work is appreciated
as the present strenuous life of most
people causes them to relish a little
pure nonsense now and then.
