Biz Feature at the Norris S. Rowe
 Circus.

Chas. Sasse, the European agent of Norris & Rowe finally secured, after several years attempt, the troupe of Cossacks and wild Russian acrobats and dancers which bears the name of the Newskyotf Troupe. These people are natives of the wild Steppes of far off Russia. They acknowledge no sov- ereign and the Czar of all the Rus sias is wise enough to let them alone. They have love of wild adventure but are seldom willing to venture into civilization but MT. Sasse painted the new country of America to them in such golden colors and offered them a salary that simply seemed princely, and so they determined to come to |, this country. The exhibition they give is said to be wonderful and mar vicious in the wierdness of their cus- toms and ceremonies. The men are super-naturally strong. Their daring feats of expert horsemanship arouses the widest enthusiasm. The women are the most graceful dancers and ac- robats this country has ever seen. While the Newskyoff troupe are ex- hibiting everything else will come to a standstill, no other act being allow ed to interfere with the full pie turesqueness of it. The costumes worn by the troupe are wonderfully beauti- full. The act will be exhibited when Norris & Rowe's circus comes to King man Wednesday October Both.
