THE CIRCUS TOMORROW
The Remarkable Record Breaker-
Sells Brothers United Shows.
This season greater, grander
.than ever before. Refulgent dawn
of a new era orginating and inau
guarting new ideas and features;
improving and perfecting its mag
nificent performances; equalising
low prices of everything by cut
ting its admission fee to 50 cents
admits to ail Combined Shows.
People's popular prices reign.
A fearle-s stroke of Managerial
policy sending terror into week
kneed rivals whose pigmy, brains
have been racked to meet exigenc
ies of dull times. Other showshave
reduced the capacity of their can
vas, curtailing salaries, abandon
ing from one-third to one-half
their railway cars, at least tlireby
.decimating their attractions or
presenting those that are inferior
and engaging cheap taknt which
must not only be disastrous but
suicidal.
Sells Brothers, now tearing their
twenty-third annual season, have
adopted diametrically the opposite!
course. They have do&ibied their
attractions, -enlarged their already
euwrmous 'canvasses. -increased
rather th«u reduced salaries, dis
carded no ret .or artist of proncc
neutly aufpient rather than deptat
ed their acceptable all-over-sh idew
iiig coufedera io i, and have initi
ated the price oi admission wirk'in
reach of everybody. 50 c<*uts.

his teeth and deliberately cut her
throat. Thinking the girl was
dead lie then went home.
The girl was found shortly after
and taken to the house by her fa
ther She, was covered with blood,
which gushed from, a gaping wound
in the side of the iivck with every
breath, but was conscious and told
her parents who it was who as
saulted Ker, She said it was Dave
’Goosby and described him.

ings of those there had been
wrought-lisp’.to :such a high pitch"
that it looked doubtful whether
the sheriff wotld be able to get off
with his Anan.
With a drawn revolver, however
he forced his way though the ex
cited .crowd and placing his pn. -
oner in ;& iwagvHi drove rapidly oft’.
The crowd started iu persmt ami
