THREE SPECIAL TRAINS.
Required to Transport the hagen
beck Circus and Trained AMI
NAL shows

On its first visit to Texas and
heralded as the greatest of all Am
erican circuses. the ne@ circus giant,
the Carl Hagenbeck Greater Shows
will arrive in Waxahachie next Sat
urday morning
There are many who have seen the
( Hagenbeck trained animals. and there
are few that have not heard of the
remarkable displays given by the
celebrated wild animal dealer. Dur
ing the last two years, however. Carl
Hagenbeek has organized an immense
five ring circus in addition to hrs
trained wild beast performances.
This is the show that will be seen
here and which the advance reports
speak of so highly
1t requires three trains of 20 so
foot cars, to bring the Hagenbeck
circus over the road The three
trains are divided into the working
section, the animal and horse section,
and the Pullman section in which the
hundreds of performers and main EN-
ployes travel. Each train is the most
up-to-date of its kind ever construct
ed and is a marvel of completeness
in every detail. The equipment for
loading aud unloading the show is
also something to marvel at. In
place of the old-time horse wagons
for moving the heavy canvas and the
seats, motor wagons are employed
which, not only do the work faster,
but are also great saving on the
stock
Seven hundred performers are
necessary To present the fun Hagen
beck program. Five rings are showr
in continual operation and as man,
as nine separate and distinct acts are
presented at one time.

Thong the sidewalks, anxious TO see
the magnificent examples of brute

sent to America In addition, the

backs of the herds Of elephants and

For permitting Johnson grass to
mature and go to seed on its right
OF way the st. Louis, San Francisco
and Texas Railway Company has
been required by a justice court at
Van Alstyne. Texas, to pay S95 to Il
farmer on whose adjoining land i
was claimed the grass seeds had been
blown. The court carefully divided
the penalty, alloting $50 for n"gli-
gence in allowing the grass to grow
and s4. for damages to the land VI
eu which tre lawless winds hal de.
posted the seeds. While it probably
IS not true, as sometimes intimated,
that in Texas the railways are held
responsible for the weather an the
failure of the crops, it is evident that
they are held TO strict responsibility
for some of the acts Of nature. -
