July 18 THE 2STEW YORK CLIPPER. 11 THE SOUTHERN AMUSEMENT CO. PARKS AND FAIRS £$ KLEIN SHOW REMEMBERS JOPUfl, MO. (From Ihe JoplU Xeioi Herald, July 0.1 Some Ktrangers within our gates must leave Jop'.lu with great cheat: iw UvtaiKC. Herbert A. Kline, who has boon In the snow business (or •e.'erul years, and who, acroial'ug to U 1'. bulls id. U one ot tbo squareat and cleanest carnival managers In the country arrived in joplln last W-.Mlnes- day. air. Conn, advance man for the carni- val, attired the preceding Saturday. The Kline Shows started from San Antonio, Tox., and aotked to Joulin through a series of rains tod floods that would nave daunted a Jess lutrcpld business man. "We have been playing In hard luck, and I made no secret of the ma>tter when I talked to tbo city collector, who told me that I would have to secure a county license. We tried to tiud out what the exact amount of this license was, but after four or Ave fruit- less telephone calls to Carthage we gave It up. I then saw the constable, Mr. Pattern, and told him our condition, but that If we had a few days of good weather we would be able to pay out all right 'He was very affable. "At first he toll me the county license would be $200. I told Un we could not afTord to pay any such amount and he came down to $150. I still piotestcd and be said he would make It $100 but not to say any- thing about It to the city collector, as It was a cut rate." IS A CLEAN SHOW. The Kline Shows started the Joplln en- gagement on Wednesday. July 1. They did a fair business though the rain Interfered with tbelr attendance. It may be said to the credit of the Kline Shows that every- body who attended Insisted that It was flic cleanest, most entertaining carnival they had ever seen. The manager says that It Iras never failed to be better attended toward the end of the engagement than at first be- cause of the favorable tomments of these who bave seen the snows. The New Herald la willing to make an exception and to com- mend the carnival as being the best That has ever been in Joplln Saturday evening ConstaUe Patton ap- peared at the private car of Mr. Kline and attached Jt for the county license and the claims of two of the train crews and another account. Mr. Kline disputes these accounts. "I was told that this attachment was for $100 for -the county license," said Mr. Kline. "The constable brought a deputy whom he Insisted should remain In the car and In- sisted that Mrs. Kline and myself vacate. I told Mm he had no warrant In law to do that because that was my home, and even though he had an attachment we could stay there. "About 11.30 the constable, the asslstint prosecuting attorney and Justice of the Peace Jones appeared in an automobile and Insisted that we were under arrest for rim- ing our shows without a license. As I thought we hod this matter arranged and as they had attached my ear I thought this was a little high handed. Mr. Casper, of the Mexican concession, bad made arrangements to leave with bis snow and was packing up. . He aaaltant prosecuting attorney, Mr. Bond, Insisted that he could not leave. We were told that they could arrest any one In the carnival, and that they bad plenty of Jails and hospitals, to take care of us. . "While they were arguing about the mat- ter 1 came downtown and found Mayor Mc- Indoc. He came out to the grounds, and If it had not been for him It Is probable that several of us would have spent the night in Carthage. He aaked to see the warrants for our arrests. The constable would not show them and left for town to get them. The chief of police then saved us by placing us under arrest for not paying the city license, and tbls kept us out of the bands of the constable. Mayor Mclndoc could not have acted more like a gentleman, and I want to thank him for saving us from an unpleasant situation. Mr. Colin managed to raise $100 and paid the county license but, considering the assurances wo had, I feel that we had a narrow escape." It Is only fair to state that the average carnival which comes to Joplln generally has experiences to tell about paying costs for many things before getting out of town. The Xeicg Herald believes that the Kline Shows have received the worst of It In this city. The shows will not give any more perform- ances in Joplln but may go to Webb City. PATTON EXPLAINS CASK. Constable Patton. when asked shout the Incident to-day, said: "The county court lias left It to the dis- cretion of the constable to lis the amount of license on carnival companies. I first asked Kline for a license of $150. He complained that business was poor and that times were hard, so I offered to reduce the license t» $125, finally after he had repeated Ms hai-d lyek story. 1 agreed to make the license $100. I did not tack on any costs for my services when the license was paid, and neither did Justice Jones."' Jones declared he wen ready at any time to try the three attachment suits filed by employee, and that the ante of July 15 wns fixed for their heaving, not to keep Kline In the city, but to give him ten days' notice of the suits as required by law. KNG0--J. GEORGE LOOS EXPO SITION CO. BT YOU11S TRUE-LI, W. W. TIU'E. Owing to the fact that we were at the last moment denied the use of the streets In Louisiana, Mo., for the week of the 4th of July, we snitched our route and played Jefferson City, the capital of the State, on the main streets, to a week of the best busi- ness so far enjoyed by this company this season. The shows and concessions were located on the streets, with the exception of the motordrome, which, on accouut of Its size, was compelled to locate on a lot in tbo centre of the Midway. The committee uuder whose auspices we showed are the same com- mittee that has handled all carnivals In Jefferson -City for the past seven years, and ar ea bunch of live wires and hustlers. Upon the last night of our engagement we wero tendered a letter of congratulation and recommendation, saying mnong other thiols that this company had given better satisfac- tion and had furnished cleaner, more high class amusement than any of Its predecessors. The lust bit of the Winter's canvas wes replaced last ■week when the now top war re- ceived fiom Baker & Lock wood, for the Plan- tation Show. The show is now In fact as well as name, "brand now." This week we arc in Warren-sburg Mo., to- rnted on the main streets around the Court House Square, uui are cnjovlng the best of business. Next week we go to rUdnlla 5Io„ under the auspices of the Red Men. where we play In the heart-of th; town. Everyone Is look- In? forward to a big week. In Just three weeks we start our home com- ing and fair dates for which we are booked solid nntll Dec. 20. Mr. Loos has contract- ed for several of the Southern Texas fair dates, among which are Becrltle, Lockhart, Gonzales. Taylor and Smithvllle. For these dates Mr. Loos holds the exclusive show and concession privileges. DE KREKO BROS. ROTES. BX I. C. MAK.S1IKIELD. Clovts, N.

Kennedy Shows under the auspices of the B. P. O. E.. opened the woek ot July U. at Kokomo, !u<i, and enjoyed a si:: oVys' business that was very satisfactory to uiaiHigement and committee alike. The uutodrome, under the able manage- ment of Bill Joues, divided honors for first mwiey with tho Jno. T. Bockman Wild Beast Circus. The Klaso Show and the Turner at- traction furnished tho tide show entorta'ii- nunt while the Trip to Mare, laugh creator, was tho Mecca of all fun-loving citizens. Tho Murray 4 Mack production received the hearty support of the Kokomo crowd, as It has done all through Indiana, whore. « lias. Murray and Ollle Mack have made a host of friends for the sixteen years that they have appeared before the public of that State. The show has plenty of snap and there are very few mcuieots of rest In the ovenlng/a entertainment. The Mexican Village, which Joined Tuesdav, 7. with some fifty people, adobe huts, burros and other Mexican property, created quite a sensation, and the attraction waa exceedingly popu- lar, owing to tbo novelty of the affair, so many miles away from the borderland yet with all the local color of a small barrio in the strife swept cactus covered Mexican, waste. The battle scenes enacted by thj villagers divided into two bodies, represent- ing the contending parties of present dav Mexico, reminds one much of the scenes pre- sented by the Boer War spectacle durimr tho St. Louis World's Fair. Walter Sibley, with his water show of twenty live mermaids and. water nymphe, oireniig one of the finest of aquatic exhlbi tlons before tho public to-day, has also Joined tue Coo T. Kennedy aggregation, brluging with him also his big Superb Show another toii-notc-her in the outdoor game, with splen- did equipment and unsurpassed orchestrion music.

Parker was a visitor for a few days, together with George Kennedy, a coualn of C. T. Kennedy. The Queen Contest, handled by R. C. Elgin, who did scout duty ahead of the show at Kokomo, was an excepflonnly nice one. and In face of the fact that the former contests had been handled so badly, and confidence had almost been destroyed In the popularity contests, however, it was an Elk affair, and this organization seldom does things by halves. Tho Rhow closed nt Kokomo- Saturday night, opening at Lima, O., Monday, July 13. BT w. J. KSHOB. Tlio big Round-up and celebration, at Dowey, Okla.. is over, and, despite the rain, proved to be a good week. Thousands of dollars was paid for advertising this event for miles around, and had the weather been fair It would, undoubtedly, been our banner week. It rained each dav of the week, and it was surprising to all that as many people attended as did. The show consisting of ten shows, two rides and forty concessions, were located on a lot In the' heart of the town, ■within two blocks of the Round-op Stadium. Prom the amount of bullae** we did In the rain it la evident that Dewey Is undoubt- edly a good stand for a show during this cele- bration. Cashing. Okla., In the centre of the oil fields, opened up Tuesday night with pleas- ing orospects for a good week. C. Rascotn Faulkner was in Nowata this week on business. W. A. Moore and wdfe left at Dewey, and will make picnics and celebrations the balance of the season. Mrs. W. J. Kehoo left at Dewey for a two weeks' visit with her parents at Hutchinson, Kan. While we were showing In Texas every- one was squawking to get out of tho State. After five weeks in Oklahoma they aro all squawking to get back Mrs. Lloyd Nevada left for her homo in Indianapolis last week. Shorty Scoedcld has a new Idea under his hat for a platform show. Put it on, Shorty, and lets have a look at It. Frank Baker baa added a pillow top wheel to his string of concessions.

Reproductions ot tbc buildings, many of the most notable businesses In the early life ot New York City, Inclndkig the structure occupied by The Hrooklyn Baglv In 1850, will cuustltute the chief means of conveying to latter-day New Yorkers nn Idea of what tho city looked like In Its swaddling clothes. Tbo home of The Eaatc referred to was ou the site of the Basle Warehouse and Storage Company's building, on Pulton Street, near the ferry.

In addition the: e v.lll be several varieties of entertainments Not the least of these will be the moving pic- tures showing tho city's common-la] progress more realistically than the stationary pU- tsTcs. lib, ve will also be singing and muslcnl programs. There will be no charge for ad- mission. Tickets are to be furnished on ap- plication to hotels, civic and commercial bodies. Ot the individual -buildings reproduced, onn of the most Interesting, historically, will bu the Drat house lighted by gas, In 1830. It was the residence of Samuel Leggett, the president of tbo tlrst gas company, and waa situated at 7 Cherry Street. The reproduc- tion was made possible through the courtesy of George B. Cortelyou. president uf the Con- solidated Gas Company, who found an old prlut of flio bouse In his collection.
