biggest crowd to this city that has

was surprising in its merits and
which possessed many uniquely
excellent features.
The Sells & Downs Show is run
on business principles, and does
not disappoint the people. Within
a few minutes after 1870 the parade
made its appearance, and there
was a rush for points of vantage to
get a good view of the riders, the
bands, the clowns and the animals.
The parade was all that could have
been expected and drew forth many
EXPLANATIONS of interest, amuse-
ment and admiration.
Several good bands made the air
melodious. Claiming special
attention were a dozen lady
riders, very handsomely costumed
in white satin and bloomers, and
riding astride. Carrie Nation with
her Ratchet brought forth peals OF
merriment and shouts of "You,

The old Phillips opera house is to

a general change in the appearance Of
the. playhouse that in times past was
the scene of many a notable gather
ing. When the contemplated changes
are made the old theater will appear
as pretty as a girl at sixteen, and,
like many at that age, will change its
name
The new Phillips theater will have
the same foundation and be surround
ed by the same walls all of which are
solid, never having been injured by
fire or accident. and the old theater
ends right there.
The seating arrangement will be
changed and a new fire curtain will
be added, a standpipe erected as a
precaution against fire and another
exit will be made The box office will
be removed from its present location,
cloak rooms will be fitted up, and the

The use of gas, other than as a
reserve for contingencies, will be dis

be able to point with pride to one
Of the handsomest, most comfortable
and safe theaters in the state
The new house viii be popular from
the fact that it is on Main street and
all interurban and other cars pass the
door, thus making it very conven-

the comforts vouchsafed by any we'll

These contemplated changes will
be made early in the summer and the
theater will be ready for a
grand opening in September.
