We always knew we made
good SODA WATER. We
had a pretty good opinion of
our ICE CREAM , too. But
when we see the continued
increase in the amount of
these things we sell , we are
"inclined to think that other
folks think them good also.

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. ,

Twenty-one people went down
to Woodlake last Saturday eve
ning to attend Miss Mary Cum-

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.

While out in the country last
week we stopped at P. 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
