The Parker Shows.
Tho Fireman's Tournament, which
will formally open tomorrow, was in a
way opened last night, when the doors
of tho Parker snows were thrown
open.
Following a su cessful week in Sid
ney, where tho highest of praises has
been bestowed on them, tho Parker
shows arrived in North Platte Sunday
afternoon. As soon as the shows wero
unloaded from the trains tho employes
wero given a holiday .until Monday
morning, when the work of erecting
the manyshowB was begun with' a vim.
Ono of the principal and the most im-
Eortant facts upon which The "Parker
hows base their claim of being tho
finest and best carnival organization
on the road, is Us seal of cleanliness.
The thr?o promises mado by the man
agement is that tho shows are good
and first class, that there is nothing in
any matter or form which would shock
the sense of morality of tho most
scrupulous and gambling is absoluto
absent.
Simon FiRhman, chairman of tho
committee on arrangements of the
carnival, which was held in Sidney last
week, in a personal letter to the man
agement of tho shows says: "Never in
tho history of Sidney has tho people
been satisfied and more pleased. Tho
Parker Shows boar the distinguishing
feature of being pure and wholesome all
bearing a seat ol cleanliness. They are
all worth tho money and the time re
quired to witness their performance.
"As chairman of the committee having
charge of tho carnival I personally re
commend tho shows to any city, should
thoy desire a carnival company that
lives up to its agreements, and one that
carrys nothing but tho best and clean
est of shows."
The shows have all been placed on
Dewey and Front streets. ''Tyrolean
Alps' , "Electric Theater" and "Halo's
Tours" aro situated at Fifth and
Dowey streets. Tho "Pleasure Wheel"
in which one i3 carried over fifty feet
in tho air. is located on Dewey Btreet
between Fifth and Sixth street, "l'ar
kcr'8 Jumping Horse, Carry-us-all, the'
largest and finest in the country, and
its $10,000 military band organ is opDo
sito "Pharaoh's Daughter" at Sixth
and Dowey streets.
"Pharaoh's Daughter," is a beautiful
l electrical illusion. Tho famous scrpen
. tine and glaBs dances are also given in
this, the feature show of the company.
"The Natural Museum," is nenr
Sixth street. Fivoof tho largestsnnkes
in captivity of the Annnconda specie of
South America aro exhibited. "How
Old Is Ann" and tho "Ocean Wave" is
located at Front and Dewey streets.
Mr. Guilliaume, secretary of tho

card to the tournament and predicts
ono of the largest crowds over seen in
