Campbell Brothers circus is a Ne

winter in Fairbury. but spent the cold
months in New Orleans. They will not
do so again. however, because the eli
mate and feed did not agree with their
animals, and consequently they came
out of winter quarters in poor condi-
ton. One elephant and a few other
animals died. The Campbells have
their eyes on Texas as a desirable sec
ton of the country in which to spend
the winter. though they may decide to
come north. 1t is understood that Nor

according to Miss Millen, she has re-
