SIX NEBRASKA BOYS HAVE BIG CiRCUS Campbell Brothers' Show Had its Origin Among Farmer Lads of Fairbury , Nebraska. ARRIVES HERE MONDAY , MAY 28 Fifteen years ago , six Fairbury Neb. , boys witnessed a perform ance of a small circus. The next day they were practicing somer saults , trapeze work and similar sawdust ring stunts. "Let's give a show of our own" one suggested and they went into training for the event , which was held in the barn on their fathers farm. It was very successful , and the small admission fee enabled them to purchase a bony steed and a hayrack , with which they made the circuit of the county fairs giv ing performances at 10 cents ad mission. The next year they had more and better equipment and charged 15 cents to see the "show. " Eight years ago they organized an over land circus , with six wagons and thirty horses. Six years later they remodeled the circus and made it a "railroad show" with eight cars. Year by year the show has grown until now it consists of twenty-six sixty-foot cars , 500 people , two advertising cars in ad vance , and requires a daily expen diture of § 1500 to support. The six brothers were Al G. , Charles ( Doc ) , El ward , John , Greer , and Hatfield Campbell , who own the Campbell Bros , cir cus , which visits Valentine , May 28 I have 7 Thoroughbred Regis tered Short Horn Bulls , 2 years old , for sale. Five miles south east of Wood Lake , Nebr. M. L. SMITH. The Hepburn rate bill with the Allison amendment passed the senate last Friday. Mrs. Clara Ayers-Yeast arrived here Tuesday night from Atlanta , Ga. , to spend the summer with relatives. Twenty-one people went down to Woodlake last Saturday eve ning to attend Miss Mary Cum- bo\v's school entertainment. They went on the afternoon freight and returned on the passenger. The wind blew a gale but none blew away. Some of them missed the sidewalks and electric lights of Valentine and L'elt a bit awkward but all report a good time. A heavy rain fell yesterday af ternoon and soaked the ground for several hours. During the early part of the rain the lightning struck S. Moons' house , south of J. T. Keeley's , tearing down the chimney and damaging the roof. From the house it ran off on a clothes line to an outhouse , knock ing one side out. Our foreman , Mark Zarr , saw the lightning strike and said it spread out over the roof and looked like thousands OL stars.

H. Young's ranch near Simeon and found "Wm. Ballard , Jr. , rounding up a bunch of about 400 horses which they corralled in Mr. Young's yard , cutting out some belonging to oth ers be Tore driving them down to their ranch. Mr. Young had some men at work making garden and cultivating several hundred trees which he has recently planted , consisting of apple , cottonwoods , grapes , gooseberries and osage. He will soon have a nice grove and orchard northwest of his build ings and it will be tended in good old Missouri style. South from the Simeon store the road was so soft that many people traveled through the hay meadow and found that pretty soft and muddy in places. A road grader and plow could be used to good advantage there and splendid roads can be made through wet valleys in many places in our county it' proper attention is given the mat ter by our county commissioners and road supervisors. We hope to see this done in the near future. At C. S. Recce's place we found them branding some calves that Will Wiseman had bought of J. W. McCloud. Claude Eeece was there , and Grandma Reece showed us some fine Poland China hogs that she was raising. Charley has some calves that he is raising on skim milk according to the uni versity rations and they are look ing fine. After enjoying the day fishing we drove down to the Stillwell ranch and found their house sur rounded by water 2 or 3 feet deep. They are living on an island in Hackberry lake now and it isn't a very large one either. Mr. Still- well came across the water horse back and directed us on the road through the hills to Dewey lake , and from there we went down to our Marsh lake home. Rev. Cumbow was at home at work. He has planted several hundred .trees around his house ( this spring. At the east end of Red Deer lake the croppies were so thick that they would bite at a bare hook , the sinker or the cork. They were too easy and we soon tired of the sport of landing fish so easily caught. A sail boat was moving about over Red Deer lake. Several lakes are higher than last spring but the valleys are New Hotel 3C Near Depot Electric Lights. o ouse. J. A. Hornback , Propr. Guests for Trains a Specialty. Good Rooms.
