It's managers, the Messrs. Sells Brothers, are the most successful showmen in this country and to no one thing do they owe their success more than to their honesty and fair dealing. Koneof their patrons ever have cause to complain of having been swindled by sharpers such as are frequently connected with modern circuses; nor do the patrons of the European ever complain of being humbugged. The European Show advertises cnly what it exhibits. No bombast is ever indulged in no exageration, but honesty its watchword, and fair dealing its motto.

Our readers should read the advertisement carefully and prepare to see the largest menagerie, best circus and most legitimate show ever in Osage county. They show at Melvern, Saturday, Apr. 21st.
