AS TOLD TO

BY EDWARD A. WALSH.
GIRL MOCKS AT FATE
Heroine of Double Somersaulting
Auto to Be Seen Here.
The most terrific act in the hisory
of circus thrillers, the double somer
saulting automobile act, will be seen
in Columbus on August 15 as the cli
max of the Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Bros.' circus. This is the Dante's
Inferno of circus paralyzers. So-called
thrillers of the past pale into noth
ing before it.
And the act is performed by a young
French girl barely out of, her teens.
The heavy car with the griitty young
woman at the wheel plunges down a
steep incline with lightning speed.
An upward curve at the terminal of
the tracks sends the car up into the air,
where it turns two complete somersaults
before alighting on the runway fifty
feet away.
It is a moment of suspense that the
audience will never forget. It holds
the eyes of even those who had made
un their minds not to look. It is im-
Kssible to resist the act. It pinch
es the heart and whitens the faces of
those who behold, and the relief of the
audience when the feat is finished in
safety expresses itself in a sigh of
thanks.
Another thriller with the show, the
beauty of which is inspiring, is known
as the "Human Butterfly Act. " It
is a sensation of French organization
and is presented by the. famous Ty-Bell
sisters. Holding by the teeth to al
most invisible strands of steel, the
young women are lifted to the dome
of the tent and there by means of hid
den mechanism are made to circle, dart
and fly through space with the grace
of birds while multi-colored spot lights
are directed upon their flowing robes.
The act is the most beautiful con
ception of a French spectacle builder.
Aside from its beauty it is danger
ous enough to be intensely exiting.
Like a rolling ball of snow the Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers' circus has
grown and gathered to such an extent
that it is now out of all proportion
with the recollection of it that lin
gers in the local mind. It has been
many seasons since it exhibited here
and it now comes with new laurels
won and with much more to recom
mend it than ever. There is not a
country on earth that it has not at
some time in its fifty years of existence
pitched its ten acres of canvas. It is
considered in New York the most pop
ular show that exhibits that city.
When it last exhibited there its par
ade received unbounded praise.
The show now has 350 performers,
the majority of whom are from Euro
pean and Asiatic countries. There are
100 big acts on the program. Tne
menagere is a wonderful zoological col
lection. The entire equipment of the
circus is brand new.
Premier Pitcher f the Chicago White
Sox, and Perhaps the Greatest
Pitcher the Game Ha
Ever Known.
What do I think the greatest play
I ever saw? That question recalls
Tlvldly to my mind an incident of a
great game in a great series. I be
lieve it was the greatest series ever
played, when you come to figure in
terest, and it was the greatest game
of that series Chicago people needn't
be told what the game or series was
but for others. I must tell that it was
the series we played the Chicago Cubs
for the championship of Chicago and
the world, In the fall of 1906, and the
game was the one that good old Nick
beat them Nick Altrock, I mean, al
though there is no use telling that to
Chicago people, either.
The play involved Jiggers Donohue
and George Davis, and from every
standpoint it was the best I ever saw,
being perfectly figured out and per
fectly timed by both men. An eighth
of a second hesitation or miscalcu
lation would have turned the game up
side down and given the Cubs that
series.
Nick was pitching against Brown,
and the score was 2 to 1 in our favor,
late in the game. We were fighting
as if our lives depended on it, for that
series was nothing less than civil war
in Chicago, and the Sox and Cubs felt
that everything depended upon the
result of the series and that the se
ries depended upon that game.
Joe Tinker was at second base
when the batter hit a slow, easy
roller down to Rohe, who came in fast,
scooped the ball and threw fast to
first base, retiring the runner. Tink
er, of course, held second until he saw
Rohe was going to make the throw to
first, and the moment George cut
loose the ball. Tinker started for third.
Rohe was clear out of the scene and
hadn't a chance to get back to third
in time to receive a throw.
Davis saw what was coming off, and
started to cover third base. He was
not as fast as Tinker, and the race
between them was close. Donohue
had no time to wait He was forced
to throw at the base and trust that
Card of Thanks.
We wish to extend our sincere
thanks to our many kind friends and
neighbors for their kind words and
acts and their beautiful floral" offer
ings at the time of our recent bereave
ment, in the death of our son and
brother.

Davis would be there to meet the ball.
He timed the throw perfectly and sent
the ball whizzing across over third.
If it went on, the score was tied, and
perhaps the game lost But so per
fectly did Donohue time his throw
that the ball met Davis right on top
of the bag and an eyelash ahead of
Tinker, who slid only to be out
That retired the side and we held
them and won.
Jiggs had to use perfect Judgment
and to make the throw with absolute
confidence that Davis would be there
to receive It; and good old George not
ony was there, but had his feet and
legfe placed so that Tinker could not
6lije to the bag without changing po
sition, and that little bit of a piece of
a second gave George time enough to
touch him and end the inning.
It was a bit of real baseball that
you do not see once in a lifetime, and
It"passeT almost" unnoticeff, Because
only close followers of the sport and
the players saw how cleverly timed
and executed the play was by all con
cerned. (Copyright. 1911. by Vf. G. Chapman.)

Students of the Indian tell ub that
while the numbers of the red men are
diminishing there is a slow amalgama
tion of the tribes wherever their geo
gaphical location makes this possible.
It is supposed that there were 1,000,-
000 Indians on this continent when
the Europeans settled here. It is esti
mated that the present population la
50,000 less.

Fullerton Chautauqua
The Fullerton Chautauqua opens
August 11th and closes August 20th.
This is one of the oldest, largest, and
best established Chautauquas in Neb
raska. The management have always
given the people a good program, but
the Chautauqua Board think they have
a little the best talent this, year they
ever had. On the program is to be
found such noted lecturers as Ex-Governor
Folk of Missouri, Chancellor
Bradford, Dr. Lynch, Allan A. Tan
ner, Father MacCorry, the Pauist
priest, one of the best known orators
in the country. Dr. Chase, Sias, Long
and others of National reputation as
lecturers, Sid Landon, the character
delineator, Packard, the great plat
form cartoonist, and Laurant the ma
gician. Then there is the Royal Ital
ian Guards Band This band has only
been in this country two years, anil
this is their first appearance west of
Chicago. To hear this band is a
treat no one should miss. TheKillar
ney Ladies' Orchestra is another of
the great attracations that will appear
at the Chautauqua. These artists
were selected from the schools of both
America and Europe. Nowhere can
you get as much for your money as at
the Fullerton Chautauqua, in addi
tion to all this Fullerton furnishes one
of the most beautiful parks in Nebras
ka. Go to Fullerton and join the city
of tents for a ten days vacation. If
you can not spend so much as ten days,
then look up the program and be sure
to hear and see some of the choice at
tractions. Write J. D, Barnes, Secy., for il
lustrated program.
A special train will leave Columbus
at 8:30a. m. for the Fullerton Chau
tauqua Sunday August 13th. and 20th.
returning after the evening program.
Special attractions have been arranged
for both days.
The billboards are announcing
that the Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers' shows are to give two ex
hibitions in Columbus on Tuesday
August 15. Great interest attaches
to the news because this is the first
appearance of the world's best circus
in this city for many seasons. More
over the show will come with an en
tirely new equipment, which cost the
owners the unheard-of sum of $3,200,
000. It was built in the foreign
workshops of the show in England by
the 'best artists, scupltors and specta
cle originators of the old world.
Every inch of the ten acres of canvas,
every costume, every one of the ela
borate vehicles in fact every piece
of property is spick and span new.
This is the first time in the history
of circus affairs that any show has
come forth in the spring new from
start to finish. It has not retained
even so much as a quarter pole of the
old outfit. The menagerie is stocked
with a new set of animals, purchased
and captured by the show's own trap
pers at a cost of $1,000,000, and with
the aim in view of keeping on exhibi
tion only those rare creatures which in
the past have been considered too ex
pensive for circus purposes, and
with just enough of the common zoo
logical exhibits on display to make a

The Reo 30 for 1912 will sell at $1,000, which is a reduction of $300 over
the former price. And we want to emphasize the fact that there is no skimping what
ever in the quality. The same high standard of material will be used, as has been in
the past. And we KNOW that the quality is all right. We don't have to take the
word of the builders or go on what we are told, but we KNOW, we have a Reo that
has run over 1 5,000 miles; it ran last winter when road conditions were so bad that a
whole set of tires were torn to pieces in 30 days, but no, repairs were needed for the
car. It made a trip of 1 400 miles to Cheyenne, Denver, Colorado Springs and back
through Kansas, over all kinds of bad roads with six passengers and two hundred and
fifty pounds of luggage with one dirty spark plug on the trip. The last day's run was
the longest 234 miles. When you come to see a Reo, ask to see this one. Then
you can see how your car will look, after hard service. Ask to ride in it, so you can see
how your car will run, after five years service. Compare it with any car costing up to
$1 ,750, and you can see for yourself that the Reo has every desirable point you want,
and one thing that few cars can equal, and that is ENDURANCE.
The Reo Record of Ten Days and Fifteen Hours from
New York to San Francisco
clearly shows that this car has the "stufF in it That trip reduced the running time of a $4,000 6-cylinder
car over five days. Since the Reo made this record, two higher priced 40 R P. cars ffig
same trip, and both failed to finish at all, one a $1,800 car, and the other a $2,050 car. JUST THINK OF
IT! Running day and night without a stop from the Atlantic to the Pacific, over mountains, plains and
desert trails, and not a wrench touched to the engine. You will never give YOUR car such a test, but it
you should, your Reo will do aU that this one did, because they are just alike. That one record means more
than all other records of all other cars. . ,
If you should pay $1750 for a Reo car you would get all the power, speedy .endurance and Utyle that
any car at that price offers, but the Reo costs you only $1000. A factory that build, another 30 that sold
at $1500 without equipment, and $1750 equipped, paid nine times as much dividends on its stock last year
as the Reo factory paid. The only satisfaction you have in this $1750 jr, that you don t have with a Reo is
that the other factory pays nine times as big a dividend on its stock. That's fine for you if you own stock.
Mr. R. E. Olds, the pioneer automobUe buflder and head of the Reo factory, says, "this price must be adver
tised, subject to change without notice. It may be impossible. We count that this price will add fifty per
cedt to our output without added overhead expense. If it does, the price becomes possibIeat the present
cost of material. If we find it impossible we shall later increase it, for we never shall skimp on any part of
this car to keep the price at $1000." mm .... . , , . . .
In addition to this remarkable price on the car, we also offer a Mohair top, top hood, and side curtains,
glass front, speedometer and Presto-Light gas tank for $100 extra-making the car fully equipped cost you
$1 100 and $50 freight Two weeks ago this car with above equipment sold tor $145U.

menagerie a complete exposition of
natural history.
The task of selecting the company
of 350 performers was left entirely to
the five foreign offices of the show in
Paris, London, Berlin, Melbourne and
Peking. This was done so that an
all-European and absolutely novel as
pect would be given to the perform
ance, avoiding keeping the cages open.
It can be readily seen that a rare
treat is in store for those who see the
show in this city. The parade is
such a departure from old-time page
antry that it never fails to create
great surprise, not only on account of
its change in policy but because of its
unprecedented beauty and costliness.
It is three miles long. A million
dollars could not buy it.
The Forepaugh and Sells Brothers'
circus has always been the most popu
lar of road amusements. In New
York it is considered the pattern of
circus excellence. Its metropolitan
home is the Madison Square Garden.
This is the biggest building in Ameri
ca devoted to amusements, yet the
various departments of this circus fill
every nook and corner of it from the
expansive basement menagerie halls
to the great glass dome. The two
performances in ths city will be ex
actly the same as those given during
the opening engagement of the
sprnig. The name of this circus is a
trade mark that represents all that
is big and great in tented amuse
ments.
