John H. Vernon, Secretary
CIRCUS MY
OaKdale Dots.
Rain, rain, rain, almost daily,
^e farmers are very much be
hind with their winter and spring
work because of so much rain,
^t we rely on the promise that
there shall always be a seed time
and a harvest.
Wheat and all small grain is
looking fine for the time of year.
We think from what we can
see and hear the farmers are
looking out for themselves this
year in regard to fertilize, as
there has been Ivt very little
bought yet, what is being bought
IS partly through the union while
those who are not union men are
making up car loads and are biiy-
mg direct ^iaving the/ middle
man’s profit. ;

Satiirday April 13 Marks the Com
ing of the John H. Sparks World’s
Famous Shows to Bnrllngton
Circus day dawns with an in
definable stir in the air that sets
the small boy's beart to beating
faster, and awakens pleasant
memories in the minds of the
gi’ay beards who have not for
gotten childhood’s happy days.
The people of this city and com
munity will undoubtedly be treat/
ed to a tremendous surprise in
the above show, as report has it
that it is not only tripled in size
this season, but that it still re
tains those features that made it
such a welcome visitor in past
years, viz: Its freedom from all
semblance of gamblers and fakirs
the high-class moral entertain
ment afforded and its honorable
methods of doing business.
John H. Sparks and his mana
gerial associates have not only
ventured into a field of greater
endeavor, but in so doing, it is
said have outdistanced tented
rivals in a manner that leaves
nothing to ihe imagination with
the additional telling advantage
of bein^ tripled in size. All new
in the matter of equipment and
presentation, and still retaining
the wonderful trained wild ani
mal exhibition, which has done
much to cause this show to be
come famous, it is the most re
markable amusement enterpise
of its kind in the world today.
The big noon day parade , while
a feature of marvelous beauty
and enormous expense, is but a
slight reminder of the great
pomp, opulence and bewildering
brilliancy to be witnessed under
the mammoth tents during the
exhibitions. In other words the
show is not all on the streets.
Dr. S. Repport will be at Dr.

Hen Squakfe In Vain.
Cluck! Squawk! Cackle! And
then Silence.
A moment later a light flashed
in the rear of the home of August
Baker, 1616 North Dallas street,
last night, arid according to Mr.
Baker's son its rays fell on a
fleeing negro with a large, fat
Leghorn hen minus the head,
tucked under his arm. Asa re
sult Bert Booth, colored, 407
North Dallas street, is now lock
ed up' in the Northern Police
Station charged with the larceny
of a hen, ?
This is how it came about.
Booth was formerly employed by
Mr. Bakier and called at his resi
dence laat night. He was let out
through the rear door and a few
moments later Mrs. Baker v^as
startled by tiie noises coming
from the chicken coop. Her son
opened the door, and holding a
lamp in his hand, saw a dark
form inaking tracks for the alley.
Mr. Baker followed close behind
his son and soon caught up witji
Booth, whom he collared. Mean
while Mrs. Baker had telephoned
the police and Booth was held a
prisoner in the home until the
arrival of Patrolman Ackerman.
Booth will be given a hearing
this morning.
