dated which will give two exhibitions
at Wa-Keeney, Kans., September 2.
1904. Campbell Bros. have passed the
point of competition and this season
sees the greatest and grandest effort
of their career. Their rise in the cir
Gus world will be phenomenal They
have been successful because they
gave the people what they want and
are ever alert in securing features
that are new and startling This
years features are entirely new and
entail the efforts of 25O artists in the
equestrian, gvmnastic, acrobatic, and
aerial line, together with twenty-five
clowns. Three hundred horses are
used and the performance of the train
ed animals is in itself marvellous. A
gorgeous street parade will take place
at 10 "a m. over the principal streets.
This is positively the only big show
that will visit Wa-Keeney this season.
