CIRCUS AND CARNIVAL'
Ringling Brothers' "World's Biggest
Show" and Nat Reiss Carni
val CO. Leave Alliance
BIG CROWD IN TOWN SATURDAY
One of the biggest crowds thai
ever assembled In the city of Alli
ance if not the biggest was that
which came to see the Ringling
Hrothers' show last Saturday. The
town was full of people. The weath
er was Ideal for the occasion until
It began raining late in the afternoon.
A good many people went down to
the railroad early In the morning to
see the show unload. In the fore
noon the parade started at the foot
of Rox Rutte Avenue and went up
the street several blocks, then to the
show grounds west of town. The
Ringling show has the reputation of
being nearly, If not quite, what It
clalmB to be, the "World's Biggest
Show", and differs fom some of the
old time dcuses In that It Is remark
ably free from many of the objec
tionable features that formerly
brought entertainments of that kind
Into disrepute among many people.
There was a time when to announce
that a circus was coming to town
was equivalent to announcing that
there was coming a crowd of thugs,
pickpockets, tin horn gamblers and
disreputable characters of all sorts;
but nil this has changed, at least as
tar as the Ringling show Is concern
ed. The Nat Reiss Carnival Company
closed their week's engagement in
Alliance last Saturday night. They
made many friends while here by
their straightforward dealings with
the city and others with whom they
had business transactions; but we
doubt very much whether they made
expenses while In this city. As stat
ed in last week's issue of The Her
ald, It seemed to us that they sel
ected a very poor time to secure
patronage here. It is doubt rul
whether anyone came to Alliance
last week on account of the Curnival
Company being here who would not
have otherwise come on account of
the (tingling show. . Had the Nat
Rels.- Carnival Company selected
some other time, they no doubt
i wou'id have drawn a good many peo-
carnival. Also paid the electric
light department $120.00 for furnish
ing lights for their shows, besides
buying several dozen lamps and oth
er supplies of the city, making a
total of more than $210.00 paid to
the city. They offered to pay for
cleaning the debris left on the striatal
after they had moved off. It is our
opinion that If they return to this
city at any time within the next few
years, they will receive a better pat
ronage than they did here last week.
As a wrong impression seeniB to
prevail to some extent in regard to
charging the Ringling Rros. for the
privilege of having a parade, The
Herald wishes to state that no such
charge was made, so we are Informed.
The city officials told them they
might have their parade If they paid
for any crossings that they might
break or any other damage done by
them. They were asked to pay an
oc upation tax of $76.00 for the main
show and $25.00 for the side show,
but they avoided paying that by go
ing outside of the city limits with
their show. All they paid the city
was $5.00 for water furnished from
the city mains, Including the work
ot a man who attended the hydrant
for six hours.
PLENTY OF RAIN
Northwestern Nebraska is not hav
ing as much rain as some places far
ther east have been getting within
the last few days, but we are get
ting plenty for all practical purposes.
Frequent showers keep the ground
moist and the air comfortably cool
most of the time. Pastures and hay
have been greatly benefitted by the
recent rains, and the late planted
corn and potatoes will make fine
crops, If the frost doesn't catch
them, which does not now seem
probable.
pie to the city. However, as far as
we have been able to learn, they
made no complaint of the patronage
received while here. They paid the
city $15.i)0 per day occupation tax
for the use of the streets for their
