IT'S CIRCUS DAY AND
EVERYBODY IS HAPPY
SFotO Shows Are Here and Right Up to Advance Notices
Big Free Street Parade This Morning Pleased Great Crowds

Today is one OF the big days of the
year; the day before whose wonders
Fourth Of July, baseball and picnics
pale into Oblivion, the day when every
kiddie in town is glad he is a kidide,
and everyone who isn't wishes he was.
Circus day! What witchery in the
words. What tantalizing visions of big
tents and prancing horses and fierce
wild animals, and gorgeous trappings
and be-spangled ladies, and pink lem
onade and pop corn and balloons, and
but the vision Is a reality today. 1t
began to be reality yesterday, early,
when the first stake was driven for the
big tents, in the presence of every
small boy who could surreptitlously
sneak from the house at daybreak.
The Big Parade.
OF course, the parade, next to the
performance itself, was the big attrac-
ton. And the monster, splendid.
spectacular, unrivaled, magnificent,
gorgeous, unparalleled" exhibition Of
circus attractions was all that could be
desired. That the charm that goes
with the circus has lost none of its eff
fectiveness was evident In the vast
crowds which lined Broadway and the
entire route of the parade; in the eager
scrambling for vantage points; in the
craning OF necks, and the impatient
desire to be the first to announce,
here 1t comes"
Long before the hour announced for
the appearance of the gaily decked
wagons and the camels and elephants
in all their oriental splendor, the small
boys and girls, and those who had to
go along to take care of them, began
to assemble on the street corners. 1t
was long time before the parade fin
ally put in an appearance, it seemed.
but after all, the waiting wasn't so
bad, for there were giddy balloons in
red and blue which man brought
right to every youngster who looked
wistful, and those whistles which one
blows up until they look like fat lit
tie pigs, and which emit one long de-
lirious howl when the wind is being
exhausted. Besides there was the cir
Gus rube who appeared far in advance
Of the parade and entertained the
crowds with his ridiculous attempts to
keep out of the way of automobiles
and carriages.
Surprised Grand Forks.
Speaking of the show which was at
Grand Forks Saturday, The Grand
Forks Herald says in part:
Circus day has come and gone The
Sells-Floto Co., the show that is fight
ing the circus trust, gave two excel
lent performances to large numbers
Saturday and everyone was entirely
pleased. In a general way, it bears
out the statement that call circuses
are alike" but in several particular in
stances the Sells-Floto Co. gave
stunts" Saturday that were decidedly
original and much better than many
that have been seen at higher priced
performances in this city.
The Sells-Floto Co., is advertised
as the circus not in the trust" and
it is showing at popular prices. Natur-

Board of Equalization.
City Assessor Emery appeared be-
fore the council and stated that he
felt the city should be represented al
the annual meeting of the state board
of equalization, which would assemble
soon at Bismarck.
Mayor Lowell was chosen to repre-
sent the city, and while accepting the
office under protest the mayor stated
that If 1t was essential that someone
be at Bismarck constantly to protect
the interests of the city, he was willing
to do so, though he could i'll afford tc
spare the time just now.
The finance committee reported that
there would be about $4,000 bonds fall
due Nov. 1, with only about $4,000 in
the general funds of the city to pay
this amount, aside from the warrants
already due, which amounted to $21.-
074.70. This will leave deficit OF
about $4,000 and the interest. The
chairman of the committee stated that
on looking UP the law on the matter
nothing had been found which would
prevent the turning in of the money
in the general fund for the payment OF
these bonds and warrants, as previous
ly suggested. It was also suggested
that about the only thing to do would
be to pay these and to direct the city
treasurer to explain to the holders OF
these bonds and get them to wait q
while longer.
lighting Plant.
City engineer Anders stated that he
would be ready at the next regular
meeting of the council to submit the
plans he has prepared for the new
municipal lighting plant and pumping
station. The mayor stated there had
already been some expenditure for tho
electric plant and If ii was desirable
on the part of the light committee tt
proceed with the work, that it might
be expedient for the committee tC

A FAREWELL FOR DR.. CHAPMAN

An immense congregation assem-
bled at the First Baptist church last
evening in attendance on the farewell
services of the former pastor, DR.. J.
D. Chapman.
The musical program was under
the direction of Prof Murphree, and
the various numbers were rendered
by choir composed of members OF
the various choirs of the city.
DR.. Bitter of the Presbyterian
church was in charge of the exercls.
es, assisted by DR.. Barnard of the
Baptist Tabernacle, DR.. Williams OF
the First Christian church and Dr.
Scruggs of the First Methodist
church. After a scripture reading by
DR.. Williams, and short prayer by
Dr. Barnard, the pastor. DR.. Chapman,
delivered his farewell message to his
congregation. 1t was a strong and
earnest plea for a closer walk with
God, and his efforts reached the
hearts of many as he forced them to
a realization of his earnestness for
the future of all mankind.
DR.. Scruggs, as vice president OF
the Pastors Union of this city, spoke
feelingly of his acquaintance, love
and good will toward the retiring pas
tor, and wished him God speed in his
new labors. DIR. Barnard and DR.. Bit
ger each spoke in this connection, and
seemed affected at the thought of
parting from their beloved co-worker.
Representing the laymen, Major
Varnedoe and Col McCrackin, each
spoke of the good done by the pastor
while here, and of their regret at his
leaving. The closing song was, God
Be With You Till We Meet Again,
after which Dr. Chapman pronounced
the benediction.
DR.. Chapman and family have gone
to their future home at Ocala, Fla,
and the good will and earnest prayers
of the people of this city go with
them. Valdosta loses a good Chris
tan gentleman, profound thinker in
the religious world, and family that
