at about eight o'clock

having left Shamokin immediately after
tho close of tho performance there last

did not. They came direct to this town
and before noon tbo tops of tho
scoros of whito canvas touts peeped above
tbo high dirt banks of tho Indian Ridge

Feoplo flocked to tho grounds from town
by tho hundreds all day yostorday and

Tho shows may justly lay claim to bo tho
"greatest on earth." Tho immense strings

The people aro warned to be on thoir
guard while the circus remains in town.
Fakirs and crooks aro on hand in hundreds
and too strict a watch cannot bo kept.
Tho managers of the shows have two
detectives who will aid Chief Burgess
Smith and Chief of Police Davis to spot
the suspicious characters and make their
arrests p issible.
If any families leave their homes with.
out occupants they should see that all
windows and doors are securely locked,
and at all times a watch should bo kept lor
sneaks.
In contrast with the action of tho Potts
ville authorities, Chief Burgees Smith says
bo will grant a liceneo to no fakir, but will
arrest any caught plying their vocation.
Business people are warned against the
''flim-flam" gamo. At least half a dozn
saloon keepers on Main street wero duped
Saturday night. An attempt was also
made, to work it at tho pot office, but it
failed. This gamo is an intricate ono and
many havo fallen Into it when thoy sup
poeed their ejes wero wido open. One
Main street saioonist who oxplainod tbo
gamo to some friends one night last week
was bitten Saturday night, so too much
vigilance cannot be exercised.
The Forepaugh 6hows as seen when they
were last hero aro retained. There has
been introduced so many distinctive novel
ties, however, as to make tbem of para
mount interest. Among them is a gonuino
Moorish Circus Co., comprising thirty-five
mon, women and children, brought direct
to America by spocial permission of the
Sultan and French governments. Another
is tbo famous double revolving trapeze act,
performed by tho world-famous Vaidis
Sisters. The greatest of them is The Fall
of Nineveh, a sublime, Biblical spectacle
producod by Itottlg, tho famous originator
of that form of entertainment, and whoso
Fall of Babylon, Iiomo Under Nero, and
other spectacular productions at permanent
locations are so well known. The Fall of
Nineveh surpasses all the others in its
grandeur and magnificence, despite the
fact that it will have to bo transported al
most daily from one city to another. It is
unqueslionably the most brilliant display
of spectacular Eplendors ever witnessed in
any country and time, and its production
is the crowning glory of tho triumphant
career of tbo Adam Forepaugh Shows
during the past 29 years.

Ho is a verv interesting speaker and held

congratulate ourselves on tho reduction 0

to protect itself against the evils of tbo
traffic for every $1 that society receives
