THE FIRST BIG CIRCUS.
The first big circus of the season to
visit this city will be the great Wallace
Shows, which will exhibit in Newport
one day only, Tuesday, November 4.
A large number of the residents of
this city have either seen or heard of
the Wallace Shows, and have direct
knowledge that it is a high-class at
traction, but for the benefit of those
who are not so well posted, we will
state that the Great Wallace Show is
one of the largest on the road. It has
a large menagerie, three rings and a
stage, ind has a national reputation
for having the finest horses on earth.
It claims to be the “Highest class cir
cus in the world,” and judging from
the press notices by the papers of the
large cities of this state and through
out the country, the Wallace Show has
a clear and undisputed title to its
motto.
The Great Wallace Show will give
two performances in Newport Tues
day, November 4.
ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
Inanimate Body Found On Trolley
Wires.
Early this morning a great crowd
gathered at the Choctaw depot. Their
horrified gaze was fixed on what
seemed to be the body of a well
dressed colored man suspended in
mid-air across the wires of the South
western Telephone Company. Every
body was offering suggestions, but
fear was uppermost in the hearts of
the spectators, not one having the
requisite nerve to relieve the unfor
tunate on the deadly wires. Happily
Mr. W. J. Kane arrived on the scene,
and he soon had some of the attaches
of the railroad ascend the poles and
remove the supposed corpse to terra
tirma.
Blanched faces soon assumed their
natural aspect when it was discovered
that the cause of the commotion was
a dummy used in front of one of the
leading clothing stores. On the breast
of the coat w>as a placard stating that
Sells & Down’s Big Show would be
in Newport Saturday, October 4.
STREET HATS.
The demands for elegant simplicity
are more than satisfied with exclu
sively high-class, ready-to-wear hats,
trimmed simply; unapproachable in
style and quality.
