The Parker Amusement Company
which met with such great SUCCESS ut
Great Bend, Knnsae, week ago, arrived
IN this city lasl Sunday afternoon 90
their special train Of twenty cars. A large
crowd welcomed them ut the Santa Fe
depot and all Sunday evening people
gathered on the grounds TO watch the

parsphernalia On account Of the very
heavy rain Mouday, the shows were uty'
able to open but eveu In the pouring ray
there were number Of people on
grounds Monday evening. Tuesday 81
ing was practically the opening OF the
carnival and the crowd was immense.
Each attraction was well patronized as
they have been every afternoon and even
ing aud great crowds surged to the ticket
office for the s.Girl from Bsgdad," every
available seat In tue big tent being oc-
cuDied ut each performance.
Too much cannot be said OF the at
fractions. They are all excellent and
we'll worth going to see. which, one
might say is little unusual IN travelling
company. There are usually few good
shows and a great many poor ones, but
1t may bs said trntbfuily that Ibe Parker

up to u high standard OF excellence. or

feature show and the little nmsical farce

feels and TIE handsome costumes worn,

City. Clara Male Adams, the girl from
8 Bagdad, herself, is more than pleasing
: the large crowds. she possesses an at-
tractlve personality and 4 sweet voice.
