HAD TO TAKE THE KIDDIES

ALL THE CHILDREN ATTEND THE SPARKS WORLD FAMOUS SHOWS. The Sparks World Famous Shows reached Rensselaer" about 3:30 this forenoon from Indiana Harbor, where they had shown Friday. On account of a heavy rain and poor railroad accommodation, they were a little late in arriving. The show is transported in fourteen railroad cars, and all hands were busy as soon as the breaks were set on th siding. Many wa ; che<! tre unloading with interest and wonder and the train of animals and show equipment which passed through the streets of the city indicated that this institution had made a marvelous growth since appearing here in 1914. The parade which was given at 1:30 p; m. was one of the largest and best ever given in the city. On account of the rain there was a very large number of people present and undoubtedly the circus tent would be packed to capacity this afternoon. From here the show goes to Attica, where they will give two performances on Monday.
