WORTHAM SHOWS
DRAW CROWDS
Sixteen Ilia, and Numberless Small
Shows Fill Alliance Street with !
Gavetv and Lauchter !
WILL CLOSE -SATURDAY NIGHT
The Worthani Shows, the big car
nival company announced in The
Herald last week, arrived on sched
ule time Sunday night and were duly
installed Monday. A percentage of
the receipts of Uieee big shows goes
to the Commercial Club to help de
fray the expenses of the big stock
growers' convention. ,
It is not too much to state that the
Wortham Shows are the biggest,
best and cleanest organization that
has ever been Been In this section of
the country, a show whom it is a
pleasure to have in the city and an
organization that all others may well
take pattern by.
The attractions are so far ahead
of the average carnival class that
there is no comparison whatever, the
personal of the attaches is of excel
lent caliber and the entire organiza
tion is worthy of the most liberal
patronage. President Guthrie and
his associates are to oe congratulat
ed upon having secured such sterling
shows as amusement features for
this big event of the year in Alli
ance. Among the prominent attractions
may be mentioned the Society Horse
Show, with Miss Essie Fay and her
equine paradox, "Arabia", the horse
with a human brain, as the special
headliner.
Miss Eesie Fay is recognized as
America's foremost horsewoman and
trainer, she has been featured in
)moving pictures by such magnates of
the business as the Selig Polyscope
Company, and has been the recipient
of numerous medals and blue rib
bons at horse shows all over the
country. Her horse Arabia is al
most human in everything that he
does. He adds, spells, does mathe
matical problems, picks out colors
and goes to bed like an ordinary hu
man, and does a fire fighting stunt
where he 6aves a woman and child
from a burning building. An equine
paradox, indeed. I
In addition, there are the famous
Rhoda Royal horses, under the ex- j
pert direction of Fred Collier, who
is an adept in the saddle and in barej
back riding, a high school horse,
President Wilson", exhibited with
skill by Miss Mae Saunders, and the
famous posing horse late of the,
Rlngllng Brothers shows.
The Auto Stadium is the one big
thriller. Here four riders flirt with
dt-ath at every performance, one of
them a woman. Mile. Marie, late vi
vandiere ot the Chasseurs D'Afrique
of the French army, the only lady
auto driver in the world who essays
the feat cf driving a high power ma
chine r round a perpendicular wall.
Mile. Mari. wte the heroine of Fash
oda when she saved the colors of her
' reginvr?, and has only lately taken
to auto racing, having been interned
in this country while on a visit to
relatives since the outbreak of the
war. She is a wonder In the auto,
and her exploits in the army can well .
be believed.
The Wortfcam Hippodrome serves'
to introduce rerh.r toe largest and
biggest enrer'ainment of all. Al
though placed out of the way t the
nd of Los Butte avenue, it ohou'd

on no account be missed, as here
there are no less than two preten
tious lion acts, two bear acts, a com
edy circus, unridable mule, many
circus features in a huge tent con
taining two arenas and one big ring.
Then there are the Wortham ele
phants to be seen, a herd of perform
ing pacyderms which do everything
but talk. It Is an act that is never
seen outside of the largest circuses
Rnd one that is alone well worth the
price of admission.
There will be a sensational dinner
party In the lion's den Friday night
when several of our most prominent
citizens will take dinner with the
lions, these modern Daniels being
taken care of by Mile. La Rose, who
will act as the guardian angel.
Among those who will attend as
guests will be Mayor Romlg, R. M.
Hampton, Fred Harris, Eph Kibble,
Guy Lockwood, Fred Holsten, and
other notables. One cannot say too
much for the Wortham Hippodrome
and menagerie, as it Is one of the
best ever seen here.
The Miracle Girl is anotheT attrac
tion that is well above carnival class
and a show that is both refined and
entertaining. It introduce Miss Et
ta Louise Blake In poses elasslnue.
Illusions and the beautiful spectacle
"Pharoah's Daughter". Melody and
mystery are combined In the Miracle
Girl, and everyone who wea It fa a
booster.
Neptune's Daughters, with Miss
Lillian Coley, the diving Venus, is
another attraction well worth while
and should not be missed. It is a
clever exhibition of expert diving and
swimming by artists who give a great
entertainment.
George Farley's Phllipplno Mid
gets are the smallest humans on
earth, the little man being 37 years
old and 24 inches in height, and the
little woman but 21 inches high and
40 years old. They were the big
sensation of the St. Louis world's
fair, and should not be overlooked.
Princess Carlta and the other liv
ing freaks in the Wonderland show
prove big drawing cards and the en
tertainment provided Is extremely
varied and entertaining, plenty for
your money, and good at that.
Zetta and her Tango Queens are
the best musical comedy outfit that
has been seen here in many moons,
an aggregation of talent that leaves
nothing to be desired and artists who
can really sing and dance.
The beauty of the Zetta Show is
that It is not one of the girl shows
for men only, but ladles will find it
a pleasing entertainment and can
visit this atrtactlon. as they can ev
erything on the Wortham midway
with in punity, confident that there
will be nothing found there that will
cause them any embarrassment or
di?romfort whatever.
The Trip to Mars Is a fun maker
of the first degree, and everyone
should visit the planet, as it is a
pleasant Journey. The Crystal Tan
gle is another mirth provider and the
penny arcade will provide a large
amount of amusement for very little
money.
Wortham has an excellent lot of
riding devices all of them of the
most up to date kind. In fact if ever
there was a model carnival, the man
who owns it is C. A. Wortham, of
Dfiiville, 111.
This newspaper Is not in the habit
of eo!sr into superlatives over any
particular show or shows, but In this
case feels that Mr. Wortham deserves
every good thing that can be said
about his organization, for it really
is what he says it is a clean, big
and up to date show, well managed
and well presented.
Europe lingered on the verge of
war for many years; more ny far, it
is hoped, than will be necessary to
bring about a preparedness for

DELEGATION
STATE SHERIFF'S
CONVENTION
onicers from Over .the Stat Gatlit-r
In Alliance Well Pleaded
with Reception
By Tuesday noon there were twenty-four
sheriffs In Alliance to attend,
the convention, which convened on
that day. The business session was
delayed until Wednesday on account
of the Inability of W. O. Condit, state
secretary, to be present Tuesday, but
the officers spent Tuesday afternoon
profitably by viewing the city and at
tending the carnival.
The session was held In the dist
rict court room. Many topics of in
terest to the officers were discoursed,,
including the recent legislation in
their behalf. Among this legislation
Is the new mileage law, which helps,
the sheriffs considerably. Owing to.
the many attractions In town. Includ
ing the races and auts sslo at the
fair grounds, the meeting was short
ened considerably, and a sort of ad
journed session will be held In North'
Platte in December, at which time
the finger print system and other im
portant matters will be discussed,
snd the officers for the ensuing year
will be elected.
Chadron was the successful bidder
for next year's convention. Hast
ings was the only other town that
was voted upon.
The meeting was a decided success
even though it was a short one, and
the visitors were profuse In their
compliments regarding the reception
tendered tbem in Alliance. Most of
them are staying the remainder of
this week.
This evening a smoker will be
given in the new Elks home in honor
of the sheriffs, and a fine time is an
ticipated. Tuesday afternoon the
visitors were treated to an automo
bile ride over the city, and those who
had not been In this section of the
country for several years marveled
at the changes that had taken place,
not only in the business section but
in the residence section as well.

who registered Tuesday evening:

Fords Are Going Fast
Last week the Keeler-Coursey Co.
received a new carload of Fords, but
all the machines were spoken for be
fore they were received. Those who
held off on buying on account of the
rebate now seem satisfied they will
get the money, and aye getting a live
ly movement. However, this idea
seems general over the United States
and for that reason the Ford factory
is many thousand cars behind on
their orders, even though they are
turning out machines at the rate of
about four a minute.
