Now will You Go.

The Campbell Brothers big circus
is coming to Wa-Keeney on Friday,
September 2, 1904. This Is the only
point in this vicinity where they will
exhibit this season and the opportu-
nifty to witness it should not be miss
ed. In fact, this is the only big show
that will he anywhere near Wa-Kee-
ney this year. 1t was at first doubtful
if trackage could be secured here for
their immense trains, but the railroad
company guarantees it and their COM
ing on Friday, September 2, is now an
assured fact. The consolidation Of
these big shows this year is something
unheard of, two big shows in one at
one price of admission, two menager-
les, two museums, and two circus per-
formances given, all in one. The rail-
roads will give special excursion rates
and the schedule of time of trains will
be so arranged that no one will miss
the street parade which takes place at
10 a. IN.
