Sig. SautelIe's Circus.

cred in Saturday, August Is, when
Sig Sautelfs new big three ring rail-
road circus, menagerie, royal Roman
hippodrome and wild west will ex-
hibit afternoon and evening on the
| circus lot on Jay Warren's place near
the Fair Ground. Mr.. Sautelle is we'll
known in the amusement world, hav-
ing been constantly before the public
for II years. He began, as did many
of Americas most successful men,
with scarcity of capital, but agreat
and firm determination-to succeed.
Primarily, his outfit consisted of
pigmy tent, a few horses, wagons,
performers, trained dogs and clown.
He gained a reputation for exhibiting
exactly what he advertised and his
show at once found warm place in
the hearts of an honest, discriminat-
ing and appreciative public. Early
in his career Mr.. Sautelle set before
himself this motto Everything of the
best and the best of everything" and
that he has rigidly lived up to this
maxim is attested by his present en-
viable popularity and position in cir
cusdom. From very humble begin
| ming his amusement enterprise has
grown to be the acknowledged rep
resentative American circus and Sig
| Sautelle is known throughout the
length and breadth of the land as one
Of the foremost leaders of this profess
sion. Mr.. Sautelie has taken his cir
Gus year after year over much the
same tel ritory and has always met
with phenomenally increasing pat
ronage which is positive proof that
his shows are highly meritorious. IL

Abraham Lincoln still holds You

has spared no expense this season to
secure the very best and newest "a

exclusive feature is a ferocious riding

at the winter quarters in Homer, N.
| Y, few months ago. "Nero," for
that is it's name, is a large fierce beast
than which there is no member of the
cat family more fearless, savage and
treacherous. This nerve destroying,
hair raising act will be given in one of
the regular open rings. Spectators
need have no fear however, for their
safety, as such extra precaution is
taken to guard patrons as to make
it absolutely Impossible for the lion
to escape from the arena. Another
salient feature among a grand profu-
sion of marvels is the So horse act

who sits astride pure white horse at

mid, SO members of the equine race

Either OF the two above mentioned
features is worth travelling many
miles to witness. The number of all
star artists engaged for the Sautelle
shows this season doubles that of
last year and the program which they
now offer is one of par excellence and
admirably suited to the tastes of old
aud young alike. There is not an act
in the entire show to bring the faint

have enormously augmented in every
department this year. In the $780,

of every specie of animal life. A tour

gigantic street pageant, of marvellous
splendor and dazzling brilliancy, will
