GOllmar Brothers Circus Parade.

Those who are disposed to be skep-
tical regarding the size and merit OF
Gollmar Brothers circus will have all
doubts dispelled by seeing the tremen-
dous spectacular street display given
by that concern on the principal streets
of this city July rs. M 4
The pageant Of the Gollmar Brothers
is complete surprise. 1t is lengthy
professional array, such as can only be
produced by the fortunate combination
of unlimited wealth, undaunted cour-
age, original ideas, and determination
to eclipse all similar displays. That
the Gollmars have succeeded in achiev-
ing their purpose is generally conceded.
Their parade is like their circus The
highest class in the world.'8
Instead of the wooden dens, the Coll
mar Brothers adopted the steel cages
and dens, each one being. almost as
large and as strong as the average
railroad car.
The Gollmars were among the first
showmen to make feature of fine
horses. They were first to make a
feature of the ever-attractive Shetland
ponies, and this season have in parade
and ''horse fair" more of these chill
dren's pets than are to be found with
all other circuses.
Managed under lofty ideals, it is not
strange that the length, brilliancy, at
Effectiveness and instructiveness of the
matchless Gollmar Brothers Parade is
revelation to all who have never seen
it, while the constant progressiveness
of this amusement institution also as
tounds those who have witnessed it an
nually.

physicians, ministers, health officers
and justices of the peace, totaling
$1O84, representing their fees for re-

Many interesting features are to be
taken from these figures. Of the total
sum, the ministers and justices receiv-
ed $1O3. SO; health officers of the county,
$463. so; and the doctors, $517. The re-
port of the health officers which in re-
