Theodore Wright had fierce battle

he began striking at the snake, until
finally he landed on its head and
stunned it. A couple more well-direct-

Jerry Scanlan's Dog is a
Terror When 1t Comes
To Reptiles.

Jerry Scanlan, proprietor of the
Riverbend farm west of town, has a
dog that is world beater when it
comes to killing snakes. A few days
ago when the weather was mild Mrs.
Seaman shouldered his axe and pro-
ceeded to cut some wood for the use of
the family. While so doing the dog got
busy in snake den. Before the battle
was over the dog had made away with
twenty-five of the varmints. Every
time the dog wagged his busy tail a
wrggler was yanked into snakedom.

this workifor them, but had to keeI
off the hungry hordes of dishone 81
camp followers that attempted con.
staptly to follow in their wake. The
public soon realized the reform that
had been inaugurated by these young
showmen, and their popularity grew
greater each year on account of this
exemplary abolition of long persisted
in abuse of the public's rights.
The Ringling Brothers instituted
another much needed reform. They
banished profanity from among the
habitual accomplishments to The oper-
ating of their show. In fact, they in
augurated such an entirely new de-
parture in the handling of circus, and
particularly from moral standpoint,
that among old-tlme showmen they
became known as the new school of
American showmen, and those who
still permitted the dishonest methods
of the past referred disd ainfully to the
Ripgling Brothers institution as the
"Sunday-school Show"
Since then they have grown with
giant strides. The little boys little
show has grown TO number 1880 peo-
pie; the little old Mexican pony has
been supplanted by more than $50
of the finest horses ever bred, some of
them priceless. Their little express
wagon has evolved into hundreds of
gorgeous chariots, dens and tabeaux,
beside which the tales of Aladdin's
lamp are lacking in gorgeousness. In
place of the Jew sharp, drum and old
army trumpet, band of fifty SOLO
musicians discoursing the mostelegant
music, and huge toned bells, steam
chimes, and an immense sixty-eight-
stop pipe organ proclaim their fame
in hundreds of cities each year.
Instead of a few boyish tricks, hun
dreds of the finest artists and perform
ers from every quarter of the globe
perform beneath their tents. The
cloth hand satchel and shawl strap
which once contained all the bills of
the boys, has been replaced by four
palace advertising cars, and the little
yellow window hangers by tons of the
finest photographic paper; the one man
who sailed forth, eighteen years ago,
sees hundred busy advertisers an
nouncing the coming of the Worlds
Greatest Shows. The little inclosure
beneath tile old rag carpet, that one
time served as a tent, is now represent.
ed by three large rings and mammoth
elevated stages and the old rag carpet
by million yards of canvas that
cover many acres.

When Baraboo citizen journeys to
some distant city, the above is usual

a stranger is met.
The last issue of The Billboard pub
llshed at Cincinnati, devotes page to
brief account of the beginnings, rise
and progress of the five famous broth
ers whose energy has had inestimable
influence on the modern circus as an
institution. The death of one Of the
brothers, Otto, few days ago has
awakened a keen interest in the his
tory of the show and for that reason
some of the history is here given. AS
all know the brothers first had con-
cert company which entert aimed in
halls and Lwen y-oIght years ago they
went upon the road with wagon
show. AS previously stated the faith
er and mother and members OF the
family then resided where the beautl,
ful home of Mr.. and Mrs. AL. Ringing
now stands on Broadway. The first
exhibition was ON the land now occu-
pied by the county jail and was not
large affair; beginnings Of things which
grow, never are. Concerning the his
tory of the organization the reliable
show paper, The Billboard, says in
part.
First Showed i'm Halls.
THY soon had learned to avoid the
large towns and to confine themselves
to pl; ceS of a few hundred inhabitants,
where the people were not in the hab-
it of seeing shows; where the rent of
hall or schUolhouse, as the case might
be, would not exceed three or four dol
lars, and where they were sure of at
least moderate business. In this
manner the brothers, after few years,
found themselves in possession OF some
ten or twelve hundred dollars, and as
Lney again grew anOILlous W euOdlh
in circus venture, they began study
ing the subject in real earnest.
The decision was reached, and tAey
thought they could see their way clear
to establish themselves in a circus un-
dertaking. Like every one else un-
familiar with a business, they made
many mistakes. The principal one
was that of spending all their money
in equipping their show, for after
small tent had been bought, and the
necessary seats, lights, poles,
etc., had been supplied,
and an advance and two bag
gage wagons had been bought, there
remained in their treasury only about

Hard Things to Overcome.

three hundred dollars. With this
amount paper to advertise the show
had to be bought, and money for the
advance agent and billpOsters and
divers other things necessary to even
the smallest show had to be supplied.
The boys had purchased, during the
, winter, two old horses in a country
town about two hundred miles dis
tant from their opening point. One
of the brothers took the train for the
place where they were being wintered,
taking with him saddle and bride,
intending to rice them over the 2J0-
mile route.
When he arrived at his destination,
he found the horses almost starved to
death on their diet of straw, and a
sorry spectacle indeed. The trip home
was long one, for one of the horses
was "blind" and the other "halt",
but it was accomplished in about ten
days. The opening day was ap-
proachinp, and all that could be done
TO furnish the show with horses
enough to transport it from place 10
place was to hire teams from farmers
sons, who were ambitious to "see the
country. In the meantime they had
made arrangement with Yankee
Robinson, famous as a circus man in
anIebellum days. The Ringling
Brothers combined their capitaI-con-
sisting of their little outfit and mil
lions in xpectations-with Old YAM
kee's reputation. .s-..e
How They Started.
S. they started with handful of
actors. three horses-for they bought
an extra horse with their first days
receipts-a tent, that would not seat
more than 800 people, and half score
of farmer wagons, to which the hired
teams were hitched. They knew not
the meaning of the word fail, and by
ignoring the power of all difficulties,
and by seeking to overcome them,
they vanquished every vestige of hard
luck and made disadvantages turn.
into their favor. ~.
Their first serious blow was the
death of their veteran associate. Old
Yankee Robinson did not live the first
season out. He had not taken any
active part in the management of the
show, but stood back of the boys with
counsel and advice. His name on the
bills gave an air of establishment to
the little show, and his funny speeches
in the ling, previous to each perform
ance, did much toward mitigating the
meagerness of the performance. He
would always wind up his speeches
with the following words: "Ladies
