Warning That is Always Proper When a Circus Comes to Town.

Gollmar Bros.’ circus has always had the reputation of being a good, clean show, free from gambling apd swindling devices, but it is impossible for them to hold in check all the followers of the show and Rensselaer people should exercise reasonable precaution for the protection of valuables. House's should be locked securely tonight if you leave home and if you remain at home the doors should be locked. Women should not go on the streets unescorted, especially on back or dark streets. Purges should not be carried loose, but should be concealed and only enough money carried to defray whatever expenses you will be to. It was on the occasion of the visit of the Hagenback-Wallace show last year that Miss Ellen Sayler was held up and robbed. People should not taka chances when a lot of shady looking show followers are in town.
