Gus managers announce that that
great educa cational institution, the
side show, has been relegated to
oblivion. It has passed to the
realm of things fondly remem'
bered but never more to be seen.
They say that the people have
grown tired of freaks that were
of no particular value anyway.
The interest will be centered in
the big show and the denizens OF
the forest and jungle to be seen
in the menagerie. Some circus
es cut out the street parade last
season. Now there are to be nc
more human skeletons, no more
fat ladies, no more dog faced
BOYS, no more snake charmers
just lions, tigers and other ami
mails with their names on the
cages. Probably the next thing
to be Topped off will be the big
concert after the show. The
chances are they will tell us i
had to go because it does no
pay. Thus are traditions OF ou
youth sacrificed to the money
Igraobing spirit of the age
What with no circus parades, n
side shows and a sane Fourth Q
July, it is scarcely worth Will
to be a boy nowadays.

Committees have been appoint
ed by the various lodges of this
city for the purpose OF meeting
with the city hall associa ion
and perfect some means to ar
range for the construction OF the
proposed hall In the past week
the committee hav+ met with
much enthusiasm and approval
by the residents and business
men of the city generally .Th re
is no doubt in the world that
such building would pay a fair
rate O interest on the invest
ment. but even if it did not pay
cent, its value as an adver-
tisement for the town and the
surrounding country would more
than repay those who invest in
it for the money they pay out.
Next week the Enterprise ex-
poets to be able to give more
complete details of the proposed
plan OF campaign having this
excellent object in view. In the
meantime we urge upon oul
readers the value of the new
hall to the town. and sincerely
ask every citizen to boost, anc

approaches you to talk the mat
ter over.

iectly willing and desirous that all
testimony obtainable should be intro
duced and stated that he would make
no objections and asked that the at

same course.
Mr.. Chartz also stated that the
statements purpOrted to have been
made by Jas. T. Shaw, chairman OF
the reorganization committee OF the
