Mandan of the committee appointed
at the national guard meeting at
Minot to redraft the military code of
North Dakota to make it acceptable
to the Dick military law, has been
here this week in consultation with
Adj. Gen. Poole 1t is found that the
entire code needs overhauling, for
with the exception Of some minor
legislation from time to time the laws
of the state relating to the militia
have been unchanged for twenty
years. One important step that Will
be taken will be to provide for the
tenure of Office. AS it is now an

campbellsBrothers please Two Crowds
With an Extraordinary Fine Show
Every Act CIean-skiIl Rather
Than FooIhardiness Catered To.

The attendance at both perform
ances Of the circus given by Campbell
Brothers yesterday was fair, but not
nearly what the show deserved. In
the afternoon the principal part Of
the spectators consisted of women
and children, and it was certain that
NO circus ever before had more APP
observers were mixed and quite en-
thusiastic. A large section Of the re-
served seat part of the show had
been set aside for the Elks and their
families, and this was fully occupied.
It is safe to say that never in years
has circus been seen in Aberdeen
which gave 80 much entertainment for
the money. The "big shows" as some
of the ethaps are called, give whole
lot of tinssa and spectacular stuff, also
few startling feabs, such as looping
the loop, the high dive, etc, and cut
down on other shings where skill and
not foollhardmsss has chance. Camp
bell Brothers, howeer, present to-
their patrons a bewildering series
Of pretty and skilltul acts such as one
wishes to see.
One begins to think that there is
never going to be an end to the show
because OF the endless number OF acts
which keep treading on each others
heels. Faom the time the entree is
made until the announcer gives the
cue for the audience to go there is
not vacant second. Never less than
three performances are going on at
tha same time, and frequently as
many as seven keep the spectator
busy trying to see them all. And
they keep coming fast.
It seemed ito be the universal opin-
ion last evening that Campbell Bros.
offered more entertainment for the
money than any OF the circuses for
years. Every act is clean and COM
lmendaDle, and every performer seems
to be thoroashly good natured and
gets h,aa of the spectators in most
agreeable, way The costumes are
very pretty and everything about the
place is delightful. The acts Of horses
and elephants were fine, many OF
them being entirely out of the ordin-
