THR cracker makers supplying IN

river have decided TO raise the prices Of
this important prop to the staf Of life.
This is because of the rise in the price Of
-four and the rise in the price of -four is
largely due, so far as anybody knows, to
the corner speculation in wheat. st ell
events, the actual wheat crop situation
has not yet established the necessity Of
axy such advance in prices.

PURIFY YOUR BLOOD.

Impurities In the blood produce diseases.
Bodily and mental health depend upon a
healthy condition of the blood. The blood,
particularly in the spring and during the hot
summer months, becomes clogged with i'm.
purities, which poison it and generate dis
ease. A harmless blood purifier, without o
particle Of mineral poison in it, such as n1er-
curry or potash, is necessary to remove these
impurities and to restore the healthy tone Of
mind and body. The best purifier and tonic
known to the world is Swifts Specific (S.S.s.l
In regard to its wonderful purifying and
tonic powers we give few testimonials as

The above named circus was in Roseburp
las: Thursday in all its dazzling splendor, a
full account of which We could not give last
week owing to the fact that we went to press
before the show was over. The small boy
| was up betimes to see the arrival oil the tram
and unloading of animals. The procession at 10
A. II. made agood showing with its two. foar,
six and eight horse teams Of fine horses, also
SIX shetland ponies, the four camel team and
the two trick mules drawing wagons, besides
the band wagons and the six elephants. The
open cages of lions, tigers, hyenas and the
clowns and lady riders also the steam caliope,
which by the way was one of the principal
features, composed an imposing cavalcade.
Then came the usual side show with its extra
attractions such as the dwarf, the giant, the
fat woman, the wild men and the Alabama
mlnstrels. In the afternoon the managerie
and circus were the main attractions The
principal features Of the circus were the bare
back riding. the tumblers and timber men, the
statuary, and chief above all was the trained
elephant, which was the leading feature.
The acrobats, aerial performances, Russian
athletes, the Roman gladiators, Hippodrome
races Captain Boeardus & Sons the champion
all round shots of the world, and the bicycle
riders.
The management OF this circus is very good,
no gambling games being allowed here, and
we can truly say that much is due TO Col.
Chas. Seeley the press representative for fair
and square dealing in paying bills and liberal
dealing with the press. They were the most
gertlemanly set of circus men that ever visited
