Get Ready For the
Great Van Amburg Show.

Don't forget to call me, mother,
Please have pa set the alarm,
For the Show will get in early
| won't miss it for farm.
Many youngster will sleep with
one eye open watching for the first
break of dawn, and as soon as the sun
begins to peep above the horizon will
quietly slip on his clothes and sneak
down the back stairs, softly open the
back door and hike toward the depot
and perch ON box car to await the
first appearance of the Van Amhurg
show trains. Of course when Jimmy
gets down he finds that Bill, Pete,
Jack and some of the gang were
there already and guy him for not
getting up before A o'clock, but what s
the differencei 1t will be show day
just the same.
Many older people are inclined to
laugh at the small boy for arising at
such an unseemly hour and following
the show from the time it pulls into
town until its large tents are spread
and the parade is started from the
ground, but il they only knew itlittle
Johnny has the best of many of the
older people. He is able to see many
things that are of greater interest than
even the most thrilling of the perform
ances in the big tent. Few people re-
alize the wonderful system that enables
big organization like the Van Am
burg Shows to be moved from one city
to another, get ready and give two
performances in one day and get them
out of town without friction and seem
ingly without effort.
The show comes and goes with its
thousands of dollars worth of pro.
perty, its hundreds of employees and
its acres of canvas, and few people
think anything about It. They do not
stop to think of the wonderful amount
of work that is necessary to conduct a
great amusement enterprise like the
Great Van Amburg Shows, but take
it as matter of course, because cir
cuses have come and circuses have
gone for years.
Here is the program for the day,
which will be carried out in detail
and, the show people say, strictly ON
time
II a. m.-Free open air shows and
opening of annex departments of the
show grounds.
p. m. Opening of the man en-
trance to the main menagerie and big
shows, allowing one hour to view the
animals and courts. Promenade band
concert by Prof. Wheelers' combined
band of 30 musicians.
2p. m.-Regular program. One hour
to view the menagerie after the big
show.
4;15 p. m. The speciality concert af-
er the big show, introducing new feat
ures.
$50 p. m. Miss Isola Russell per-
forms and feeds the big lions in ma.
ssive den in the annex.
z p. m.-Opening of the main en-
trance to the managerie and big show
for the night exhibition. One hour
to view the menagerie. Fine band
concert.
SD. m.-The night show begins.
The long program commences with
Sugimoto's wonderful japanese aero.
batic troupe, the finest in the world.
In case of inclement weather the
tents insure perfect pro
lection and comfort.
Don't forget the date, October Is.

When s. A. d. Puter, the land

be intends to see that the govern

land obtained through fraud by his
former conspirators In crooked
deals. Puter does not say he in
tends to be a reformer, but explains
that IL the government RECEIVERS the
land involved, there will be great
opportunities for making money le-
ultimately.

the government should recover It..
When / get out of jail l am going
to urge the government to recover
this land, or know why.
"one man alone secured so quar-
ter sections of the best timber land
in the state through fraud. This
represents 1880 acres, and this
land is worth from $4,000 to $4,000

servative figure, this fellow alone
has tied up timber land with a mar
ketable value of $640,000.
