There is no greater contrasts IN
the growth, development and super
iority of the medern circus over
those of earlier days than to begin
and enumerate all the conveniences
of TODAY over the discomforts OF the
past.
Among the recent inventions and
adyancements in the circus business
is system of lighting that is in it
self as novel feature as any circus
could offer. This system, called the
Sunlight light and invented by WA.
Riddle, of Tampa, Fla, is used only
by the Big Sells-Floto Shows-"The
Circus Beautiful" as it is called
which comes to Lamar for two per-
formances Saturday, July 20. These
lights make all the big tents and the
avenue down the midway to the main
entrance just as light as day

interesting features with the "Circus
Beautiful" would be quite task SO
the summing up is left to the news
papers that have witnessed the per
formance.
This wealthy, independent institu-
ton has no connection with the "cir-
Gus trust" and will, of course, give
its usual big mile-long pen-den
street pageant, 80 dear to all the
children from 6 to so, and the par
sde this season is as bright, clean
and gorgeous as money can make it.
All California was delighted with
this Oriental street display. and it
served to convince many skeptics
that the management had a good
program waiting for them in the big
tents. The Pasadena News says:
"The jungle is certainly we'll rep

them and this time they brought
seven cages more than usual. Every
body congregated on the downtown
streets to see the parade. As the
notes of the calliope burst upon the
air in boist erous harmony everybody
pressed closer to the curb line and
many stood right out in the street.
The noontide parade is always ad
vertised and put where it will do
the most good. It's those tsntsliz-
ing closed cages following 80 mystic
riously along after the open ones

people used to beg, borrow or
steal a baby or little tot to take to
the circus. They don't have to do
that any more, because it's quite the

The remaining bids ranged up to as
high as $4,000.

tangles necessary in getting such
proposition started and can feel as
sured that the work will be rapidly
pushed. The needs of such an i'm

all our citizens.

Jude. Hunters Mother Burned.

The news Of the burning to death
OF Mrs. d. F. Hunter, mother of
Judge Henry Hunter of this city
was received here today and caused
general regret among his friends.
Judge Hunter was at his parental
home at Rye, on visit when the
house burned. He is remaining
there until after the funeral which
takes place this afternoon. A dis
patch tells the following story of the
accident.
RYE, Colo, MISUNDERSTANDING
into the house although it was en-
veloped in flames, supposedly to
save some family relic or valuables,
Mrs. d. F. Hunter, an aged pioneer
residing a few miles south of Rye,
was yesterday burned to death and
the house in which she had resided
for many years was totally destroy
cd.
The men folks were IN remote
parts of the ranch, and Mrs. Hunter
had just returned from a trip to Rye.
As she drove into the yard she saw
the flames burst forth, and realizing
that the house would be destroyed
she rushed up stairs, evidently for
the purpose of saving some personal
belongings.
She remained just little too long
and when she attempted to retreat
from her perilous position she saw
that the flames bad enveloped the
stairway. She made her way out on
the porch, but being SO old was
afraid to jump and before assistance
could be secured the flames had
overcome her.
d. F. Hunter, the aged husband
and father, is prostrated with grief,
and some fear is entertained for his
recovery from the shock.
Mrs. Hunter was in her seventieth
year, having been born in the state
of Illinois, in 1888. Nancy Isabella
Plant, for that was her maiden name
was married to D. F. Hunter in '53,
and had she lived until next Thanks
giving they would have celebrated
their fifty-fourth anniversary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter came to COL
orado in October, '73, and soon there
after located on the eastern slope of
the Rockies near Rye. Being among
the earliest pioneers in this region
they have been closely connected
with its development, and widely
known and highly respected by a
large circle of friends and acquain-
tances.
Six of the twelve children born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter are left to
comfort the aged husband and faith
or In his bereavement. Two OF the
SONS Will and Louis r. have been
living with their parents on the
home ranch. The others are: Judge

NEW YORK, Nov. -(SpeciaD =
That the Constitution of the United

it has been amended from time to

the public by frankly calling on the
