Work Prouressina RAPIDLY.

The work OF the local committees in

crossing rapidly. The soliciting com
mittees will close up their work dur
ing the early part of the coming week

THE CIRCUS AND ITS BAND.
Something About the Hardshps and
Work of Its Musicians.

What would a circus be without a
band to help liven things and to give
a system to the whole performance?
With the Wallace show, which by the
way is an institution which gives much
attention to it's music department, the
band is found to be equal in rank to
it's other numerous features. 1t not
only plays when the elephant rides the
bicycle, when the seals play football
when the Mexican bull does his tricks,
when the Nevaros, the Silverton Trio,
the Stirks the Marion Zouaves; the
riders and all the other hosts of per-
formers are working but 1t concludes
it's two hours work with severe test
of physical powers when it tries to ac-
company the hippodrome races which
are reputed to be the most furious and
fastest seen under canvas
In addition to the quality of music
furnished, the work of Professor Bron-
sons band is remarkable as a physical
test. It's members spend almost eight
hours out of twenty-four making mu-
sic that is music. Its effects are
wholesome as it moves the better ma.
ture of man and does its full share to
make visit to the Great Wallace
Show one not soon to be forgotten.
When it is remembered that concert
bands as a rule never play to exceed
three hours day, it may be realized
what an effort is necessary as well as
skill and talent, to enable Prof Bron-
sons Concert band to play the high
class music they do and to play as
much as is required Of them.
For forty-fve minutes preceding
each performance. Bronson's Concert
band occupies the center stage. where
it plays varied and pleasing program
while the people are assembling, OF
are inspecting the extensive menag
erie and geological collection. Prof
Bronson is a composer of eminence as
we'll as a band director, and when the
great Wallace show exhibits in Ottum
wa next Saturday the public will agree
that the musical department is one OF
the many high class attractions with
this big show.

Bitter arguments were exchanged be-

the chairman was forced to rule from the
chair in favor of Mr.. Fullen. The latter

oring them only to receive a counter
from Mr.. Fullen, who charged the con-
vention to give up dead issues and
take up live ones.
w. A. McIntire, Mayor Picker, Geo.
Heindel and Chas. D. Fullen talked
against the resolution. S. A. Brewster
and B. w. Scott talked in favor of it.

over the question. Mr.. Heindel accus-
ed Mr.. Brewster of bringing a man

the delegates to send the delegation to

The question was then put to vote
and the Kansas City platform was re-
affirmed after the very heart had been
taken out of the resolution.
