Without Hamilton we should have had

Hasenbeok-waIlaoe Shows Enlarged


Bigger and better than ever, the
Carl Hagenbeck & Grea Wallace
circus will soon be with US Every
department has been enlarged. Five
hundred arenic performers; over a
hundred cages contain the million
dollar ZOO, and the show is completely
filled with new and absolutely diff
ferent novelties. The Carl Hagen
beck & Great Wallace show combined
is truly mammoth institution. When
one has seen it from end to end, out
side and inside, and has formed an
inventory of what he has seen and
learned for very nominal fee, how
much real pleasure and benefit 1t has
been, he can easily understand why a
big three-ring circus of the high
standard of the Hagenbeck & Wallace
shows occupies the enviable position
in the amusement world that It does.
The far-famed trained wild animal
exhibition which is also presented in
conjunction is show by itself, and
will be at Ottumwa, August IA.
