and from the Hamilton hotel TO the court
house on Main street. At each street
intersection there will be festoon of
colored incandescent lights. Nearly all
of the business men along the principal
streets have made the contracts for dec
Grating their stores.
Mr.. j. Harry Edwards. general agent
of the c. ". Parker shows. arrived in
Wichita last night and will make his
headquarters in this city until the show
comes in sight. He will work this section
of the country advertising his shows and
will also drop into towns where the COM
pany has engagements this season. Next
week the press agent and the men who
will lay out the lot for the shows will
come here and make their preparations
10 receive the snow.
Mr.. Edwards announced that the shows
had several more features that have not
been announced as among the list of
shows heretofore published. One is the
family band, which is made up of the
members of two or three families with
the shows Men. women. boys and girls
play in this band and ii has gained quite
a reputation and is one of the big things
with the shows. This band gives regular
concerts during the week.
Trixie once was a measley lea-bitten
''yaller'' cur, without a prepossessng
point, and even now one would like TO
poke his toe into the 'purp's" ribs and
send il hiking for timber But the
owner of that dog draws several hundred
dollars month because the dog can do
something. Trixie climbs ladder eighty
five feet high and after surveying the
crowd makes one big bark and jumps. /
She banks all Of the way down to the
big net. The dog does not look like she
was worth paying license on. but she
makes the jump and receives the plaud-
its of the multitude very gracefully.
Mr.. Edwards explained the daring ride
of Friavolo. who is reputed to be even
more daring than the man who loops
the loop on a bicycle or the man who
loops the loop I'm an automobile. Friavolo
rides down a track eighty feet long and
around a loop twenty-five feet high in
cased in a ball. and when the ball runs
out into the net the performer opens the
ball and steps out. This is something
well worth seeing.
