Sells new SHOW
Topeka Circus Man to Have One
/, of His Own.
Now Buying the Equipment and
Animals.
HEADQUARTERS HERE.
He Will Winter the Show in
Topeka.
Expects to Start on Road in
Spring.

William Sells, the Topeka Snowman,
after a retirement of several months
from the circus business, is now hard
at work perfecting the details for the
organization of a brand new circus of
which he will be the sole proprietor.
For some time past there have been
rumors that Mr.. Sells was about to
purchase the w. P. Hall show, reor-
ganize it and take it on the road next
spring. Mr.. Sells said today that there
is no truth in these rumorS.
ST am, however,, said Mr.. Sells. or
ganiZing a brand new circus and Will
enter the field with it next spring.
Representatives of mine are securing
the country for good circus material of
all kinds. 1 am already in communl-
cation with some of the stars of the
circus ring with a view of making con-
tracts with them to appear with my
show. I have already let contracts for
the construction of cages and wagons
in Chicago. AS fast as these things are
completed they will be shipped to To-
peka, where / will winter the circus
and prepare it for the road. One of
the features of the show will be the
menagerie, and am purchasing a rare
collection of animals for it. All of
these will be wintered in Topeka, and
expect to have all the work of con-
struction in connection with the show
that can be properly handled by To-
pekanS, done here"
The new circus will be known under
the title of 'The Great William Sells
Show It's size can be best illustrated
by the fact that it will take thirty-four
railroad cars to transport it around the
country.
For many years Mr.. Sells was one of
the proprietors of the Sells-Downs cir
Gus which made its home in Topeka
He sold his interest in this show to Mr.,
Downs last spring. :. Since then Mr.
| Sells has been engaged in exploiting Gil
wells in Texas.

THEY MUST MIND.
State VIII Try to Enforce Side Track
Law.

1t has been decided by the state
board of railroad commissioners that
mandamus proceedings shall be COM
menced without unnecessary delay in
the supreme court against all the rail-
roads of the state which persist in re-
fusing to obey the law requiring them
to build side tracks to grain elevators
On Tuesday the board will decide
the Hargreave Grain company case
against the Missouri Pacific, and in
case an order is issued against the rail-
road, it is expected that the mandamus
suit will follow directly. The validity
of the new side track laws passed by
the last legislature will have to be set
tied by the supreme court before it will
be of any value to the state.
There is grave doubt in the minds of
all lawyers as to the validity of these
laws. One was introduced by H. W
Grass, of Rush county, and provided
that when man desired to build an
elevator, and the railroad company re-
fused to grant him a sidetrack, the
board of railroad commissioners should
step in and fix up the contract between
the parties. The railroads hod that this
is abridging the right of contract and
Is consequently unconstitutional.
The other law, by L. S. Barnes of
Pratt was to protect the owners of ele-
Vators already built, and the railroad
companies claim that they should have
the right to decide whether there is
enough business to Justl1y the cOnStruc-
tion of a sidetrack.
In case these laws both fail, the state
can proceed under the old railroad law,
which gives the railroad board the right
to order the construction of a sidetrack
when such sidetrack is necessary to
form q connection with some other rail-
road line, apd will be of benefit to the
public. The grain elevator would have
to build about 100 feet of track, incor-
porate as a railroad, and thus give the
commissioners the authority to order
the two railroads connected.

Objection to the Sewer.

Opposition has arisen to the new sew

Third street and by Western avenue on
the south and east respectively and by
the Keith tract on the west. At present
there is no sewer service in that part of

So much lies in the cut of a child's coat; take
that clever circular box with the bands extend

delightful than its bell-like spread and the round
true circle of its hem?
And that ''overcoat'' of English Covert-strap-

novel effect It's fine enough for the nlerrest little

garment at home or have the child wear something
ugly and tawdry

modest prices-the styles that please all gentle
folks of great or little means. The children's gar
