THE BIG CIRCUS
COMING
The Yankee Robinson Show
Will be in Harlowton
On July 7th.
The Ringling Bros., in an inter
view in New York in April of this
year, made the statement that
they owe their success to the great
est of all showmen, Yankee Robin
son. For two seasons the Ring
ling show endeavored to pilot their
show on the sea of circusdom but
met with disaster each time and
wended their way back to Baraboo.
Finally Yankee Robinson took the
then young Ringling Bros. up and
with the Yankee Robinson & Ring
ling Bros. Show made a success.
This continued for some time, final
ly Yankee Robinson and the Ring.
ling separating. Today these two
mammoth shows continue to rule
the world of circusdom and each
one is credited with having the
best circus performance and men
agerie carried with tented organiz
ations. Both shows are still on
friendly terms, each one contented
with the territory alloted them
each season. The only possible
friction between the two big shows
is during the winter months when
some big foreign act is desired by
each show. The Yankee Robin
son Shows has the Ringlings best
ed in this regard, having formed
an alliance with the great vaude
ville interests of the country and
having the only high-class vaude
ville house operated on the big
circuit. However the early friend
ship of those two shows is so
strong that Ringlings are loaned

Yankee Robinson Shows; for in
stance, the Patty troupe, now the
big feature of the Ringling show,
was exhibited by the present man
agement of the Yankee Robinson
Shows two seasons prior to the
Ringling engagement. Both shows
are better equipped than ever this
season. There is no truth in the
report that both shows will com
bine for the Seattle Exposition,
statements to the contrary not
withstanding.

MEETING WITH APPROVAL
Interest in the voting contest
for the Krause pianos which the

while the votes show but very lit

learn that several of the contest

for the presumed purpose of keep

A COMMUNICATION
By chance my attention was Balled to a little article in
the Meagher County Republican, published at White Sulph
ur Springs, Montana, referring to the women of Nihill, and as
I am one of them I take a few minutes to answer the same.
It seems the writer of the article, on account of living so
long in that "little-out-of-the-wdy hamlet," on the ninety-cent
railroad, or for some other reason, has never heard that wom
en have, under certain conditions, the right of suffrage in
Montana.
Section 468 on page 9 of tte Elect ion Laws of the State
of Montana is as follows:
"Women Tax Payers-Upon all questions submitted to
the vote of the tax payers of the state or any political divi
sion thereof, women who are tax payers and possessed of the
qualification for the right of suffrage required of men by the
state constitution, equally with men, have the right to vote."
This being a law of the state, includes Meagher county
and Nihill webelieve, butpossibly not White Sulphur Springs.
Yes, we would advise the people from that little hamlet
to come to Nihill and "get wise;" and while here they might,
by way of diversion, take a ride on a railroad which runs
four passenger trains daily without the necessity of waiting
for someone to chase around and gather up twenty fares.
The writer made a pretty good guess when she said that
maybe we want a brand new court house; we certainly do,
and what is more we intend to have one, and when we want
advice as to securing the same, we will go to someone compe
tent to give it, and it is a cinch that. it wont be the Meagher
County Republican which seems to care nothing for law nor
for the rights of any of the citizens of Meagher county out
side of White Sulphur Springs.

HARLOWTON TEAM
HAS THOUSAND PER CENT
The ball game Sunday between
Ilarlowton and Hedgesville was
the nearest approach to profession
al ball ever seen on the home dia
mond. The two teams are evenly
matched in strength. The game
Thursday served to pit both teams
on mettle, Ilarlowton to hold what
they had won, Iledgesville to re
Irieve what they had lost. The
day was ideal and no more ent hu
siastic crowd ever turned out to
do honor to t he gladiators of t he
diamond. Ilarlowton by timely
hitting secured two runs in the
early part of the game while
lledgesville at two stages of the
game had the bases full with only
one out. But the Hlarlowtonites
would close up on both flanks and
center and there was nothing do
ing for the visitors. The game
ended with the score, two to noth
ing in favor of Ilarlowton. Hedges
ville has a team that any town in
the state might well be proud of.
and though we loyally support
the ioime team we will always
welcome the Hledgesville boys to
Hlarlowton.

COUNTY FAIR IS
THE NEXT
Premium List About Ready
And Preparation Work
Being Pushed.
The executive committee and
Secretary J. H. Whalen of the
Meagher County Fair Association
have been hard at work for the
past week and the preliminary
work of the fair is rapidly round
ing into shape. The programs are
almost completed and will be ready
for the printers in a short time.
From the present outlook the fair
this year will be one of the best
county fairs in the state. While
the date is a month in advance of
last year and will prevent the ex
hibiting of some mature agricultur
al products, the season is much in
advance of a year ago and the dis
play of farm and garden products
will furnish an excellent exhibition
of the agricultural resources of
Meagher county. While the coun
ty commissioners have been liber
al in their support of the fair
other funds will be necessary to
make the fair a complete success.
The executive committee have
formulated plans for raising funds
that should appeal to every resi
dent of the county that is inter
ested in its progress and develop
ment. If the people of Meagher
county and especially the eastern
end desire to see the fair a success
they must give it, their undivided
support. hot h moral and financial.
Now is the time for assistance.
Let's all boost, for the fair and
make t~he Meagher county fair see
iid to no county fair in the state.
Remember that the fair is only
two months oif and the utilization
of every day will be required to
ssi-rc complete success. IIelp
the fairi assonint ion and dio it now.
One of the most important. fea
tires of Ihe big celebration which
will be held in Lavina on JIily 4th
is the single-horse race wIicih will
start from Billings to Lavina and
return for a purse of $500.
