cursion will be run free Of charge, and
will cost no one a cent for fare. The
train will leave Black Rock Saturday
at 1 p. M, and will leave Falls City
at 1880 P. M. Returning, it will leave
Dallas at IL p. M. 1t is expected that
hundreds Of citizens of Black Rock
and Falls City will take advantage Of
this golden opportunity to visit the
Great Indoor Carnival free of charge.
The Woodman Hall is being fixed
up rapidly for the carnival and to-
morrow night will see all the work
completed and the big hall in readi-
ness to receive the hundreds that will
come
The carnival management has SPAR
ed neither time nor expense in trying
to make this affair one Of the best Of
its kind ever pulled off anywhere in
the State.
The general admission of 15 cents
is so low that everyone can afford to
attend. This will entitle one to see the
Minstrel Show. a rare treat in itself;
also the Military Scene, which is most
impressive; also the Tumbling Betsey;
the Rocky Mountain Saloon; the Kan
garoo Court, and other things too
numerous to mention, including the
laughable clowns. There will be a can
dy stand in the hall; also confetti, soft
drinks, sandwiches and coffee. The
side-shows, including "Mzumpsa;" the
"Cave of the Winds" ''zellah" the
Great Fortune Teller; the wild AMI
NAL Show" in charge of "Bo-Bo," the
Wild Man, will cost the insignificant
sum Of 10 cents each. Sandwiches and
coffee will cost 10 cents; sacks Of
confetti for 10 cents, or one sack and
one ticller; drinks in the Rocky
Mountain Saloon will cost 10 cents for
two. The "Radium Dance" on the low
er floor (probably one Of the best and
most interesting events of its kind
ever attempted) will cost 10 cents.
Don't fail to see the Radium Dance. It
will be worth double the price OF adj
mission.
All purchases will be made on the
inside with tickets. There will be
ticket booth on the main floor, and one
downstairs, just as one comes inside.
At these ticket booths. the people will
buy their tickets at 10 cents each and
these tickets will be good for 10 cents
anywhere in the hall. either for side
shows, candy, sandwiches. or for any
thing else. A person can then buy as
many tickets as he desires. and use
them for anything he sees fit.
"Mzumpsa" Is Coming.
A special wire from Grand Island,
Nebraska, says that the train carry
ing ''Mzumpsa" ran into an open
switch near Grand Island last evening,
and the Pullman upon which "Mzump-
sa" was riding was thrown from the
rails. No one was Injured. but 1t will
be some time before "Mzumpsa" can
proceed on its way to the Indoor Car
nival. Great fears are entertained that
"Mzumpsa" win not arrive in time
for the opening of the Big Carni-
val. The wires are being kept warm
with inquiries concerning this Won
derfnl, mysterious freak. Everybody
is talking ''Mzumpsa." No one seems
to know what II really looks like.
Thousands gathered at the scene of
the accident to see "Mzumpsa". but
were disappointed. Much care Is being
taken to protect Il from the enthu-
siasm Of the curious throngs seeking
to get a glimpse OF 1t.
In Dallas and surrounding commune
ity, everyone is talking "Mzumpsa"
and the Great Indoor Carnival This
Carnival being given. as II is, by a
public institution, is deserving Of the
support of everyone. Aid to the Ma
tlonal Guard is aid to everyone. In
time OF war, these boys are ready to
bear arms and defend their country.
Everyone should help them. Nothing
like the Carnival has ever been at
tempted before In this part Of the
country, and It will be new to every
one. A good time Is assured all who
attend.
