A Big Circus Coming.

The Great Wallace shows have COM
pleted all arrangements to exhibit in
Austin Tuesday June 9. The Wallace
Show has advanced rapidly during re-
cent years until it has reached the front
rank OF tented enterprises, and is one
OF the biggest on the road. It adyer-
tlses a greater number Of features than
any other show, and, Judging from the
comments of the press, the commercial
traveller and others who have seen it.
the Wallace Show produces all it ad-
vertlses. With the Wallace Shows
from six to eight acts are to be seen at
one time, in the three rings hippodrome
track, on the stage, and in md air.
The management. of show the size of
Wallace's does not expect the people to
be able to watch all of the many feat
ures, but they arrange to have several
acts of various kinds at the same time.
SO that the spectator may take his
choice and enjoy those that he admires
most. Since peoples tastes differ, it is
necessary for a circus the size of the
Wallace Show to be cosmopolitan in
character in order that all may be
pleased, and those who have seen it
know that it pleases and satisfies the
most critical.
The Great Wallace Shows will posi-
lively appear in Austin for one day
only, giving two performanceson Tues
day June 9.

the Superior Court yesterday, and as
result fourteen unhappily married
folks had the marriage knot either
wholly or partially united.
Mrs. Dasie L. Exley told the jury Of
her husbands cruel treatment of her,
saying that he had often come home
intoxicated, and on one occasion had
choked her almost INTO insensibility.

salary, forcing her to depend upon her
relatives. A first verdict of divorce
was granted her.

the court, predicated upon the verdict,

wonder how they came.
They have come by dint of a grand

grinds and plods-the love Of home.
Ancient city all covered with history
and so full of glory! Your borders
stretched by the river to the sea, the
wild fierce rattle of fiery battle hush
ed in the moaning of the waves. Now
rising from wars red hand, your face
shall shine respondent as the morn

by a granite shaft as it speaks of the
deeds of Greene, fierce and powerful in
war and able in council. and then by
the old cemetery where the sacred dust
had so long slept unknown.
