Nine-tenths of the sickness of women
comes from SOME arrangement of ORGANS
distinctly feminine. Nine-tenths of this
sickness can be cured and avoided by the
use OF DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
There is nothing miraculous about the
favorlte Prescription nothing super
natural.
It is the result of rational thought
and study applied to medicine.
1t has been prescribed by DR.. Pierce
for over 80 years. 1t has made thousands
OF women healthy and happy, and has
brought joy to thousands of homes.
In female weakness " it acts directly
and strongly in healing and strengthen
ing the parts that are most severely tried.
It clears out impurities and promotes
regularity at all times.

JIM AND HIS cAYuse.
The Horse Committed Suicide When
Its Owner Got Drunk.

Its Owner Got Drunk.
a few days ago, through grief and de-
spair at the absence of his master,
horse deliberately committed suicide
by drowning himself in three feet of
water. A man who arrived from Grand
Forks, about 40 miles west of Rossland,
B. c., by the Dewdney trail, tells the
story as follows:
"Jim Kelly, a well-known prospector.
came to Grand Forks after an absence
in the mountains of six weeks, during
which time he had been accompanied
by common cayuse, on which he some
times rode and sometimes packed his

Mrs. Mortenson fell on the ground in

old woman recovered sufficiently to-
give the details.
The bird had, sunk its talons deeply
into the woman's back and had inflicted
some terrible wounds on her neck and
face with its cruel beak. Owing to her
age and frail condition her injuries
proved fatal. She appeared to suffer
as much from nervous shock as from,
her wounds.

MANY MORTGAGES LISTED,
City Recorder Brown and Aid. Fowl
er Rustic I'D 100000.

~
City Recorder Brown and Alderman
Fowler returned Saturday from a
two days trip to surrounding counties,
where they went to list mortgages for
taxation, held by Blue Earth county
parties. They were successful in find
ing mortgages to the amount of $780,
600. Mr.. Brown visited the county
seats of Waseca, Nicollet and Brown
counteis, and Alderman Fowler went
to the county seats of Watonwan and
Martin counties. All of the parties
on the list will be given a hearing
next week, and it may be that some Of
the mortgages will be found to have
been satisfied or some other reason
shown why they should not be taxed.
Mr.. Brown learned that the plan Of
hunting up mortgages has been adopt
ed in Brown county, where the regis
ter of deeds has succeeded in finding
100000 in mortgages that were either
not recorded in that county or record
ed in other counties.
The state law says the city board Of
equalization shall make it's report to
the county auditor on the first Mon
day in July, but the charter names
the second Monday. The county
board of equalization does not meet
until the fourth Monday in July, so
there is plenty of time. All property
owners whose personal property assess
ment has been raised will be notified
next week and given hearing.

THE THEATRE OF CHILDHOOD
CIergymen Permitted to Visit Circus
as the Guide of Children.

cardinal Richard, Archbishop of
Paris, has again laid the hand of dis
cipline upon his clergy. Last autumn
his reproof took the form of circular
letter, telling the clergy that priest
on bicycle was no fitting spectacle
for the streets of Paris. Now the
Catholic clergy are shut out from the
theatre. The Archbishop forbids any
priest in diocese of Paris to leave his
house without wearing the caSSOck.
Then he says that any cleric appear
ing in a cassock at the theatre, even in
matinee, shall be liable to suspen-
sion. The circus is allowed. 1t is the
theatre of childhood, and the
priest goes there as a guide of child
rem. Even the opera and the Come
die Franchise are forbidden things"
The foregoing extract from the for
eign correspondents OF the New York
Sun would seem to place the circus at
the top of all reputable places of
amusement, place, by the way, that
the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show
on Earth has exclusively occupied
in this country for many years past.
1t is fact, beyond dispute, that the
proprietor of this show has been in
flexible in his rule of providing special
delights for children and which are
nowhere else to be seen. What pleases
and instructs the little folks is sure
to command the interest of parents
and guardians. Besides that again
the Barnum & Bailey show is the only
show endorsed by the clergy of this
country. 1t never exhibits on the
Sabbath, while most others do. There
is never an Objectionable feature ex-
hibited, nor are there any abuses to
be discovered. Ladies and children
are it's especial care in every way.
This year the show is superb.
There are 100 acts of all kinds, among
them one grand horse act when 10 of
the noble animals are in one ring at
one time. Twenty-four elephants
are in three rings at one time, while
as many as fourteen acts are going on
simultaneously. There are three
rings, three stages, a race track and
aerial enclave, and vaudeville en-
tertainment in the menagerie pavil-
lion where there are also scores OF
special performers in characteristic
exhibitions. There is a giant, a mid
get and the famous Orissa twins.
Johanna, the big gorilla, so cages of
wild beasts, 2 menageries, all the
champion riders of the world, the best
acrObats, aerialites, tumblers, leapers,
ETC., while the new street pageant of
the Return of Columbus to Barcelona
contains stupendous team of 40
horses. All of it will be here on July
14th.

may appear the business OF Baruum
& Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth
never stops for even one day. When
the season of exhibition is over all the
vast material which has been trans
ported on it's ga railroad cars, goes to
the winter quarters in bridgeport,
Conn. Here, in large, cOmmodiOus
brick buildings, covering 10 acres of
land, the cars and material are
stored. All the animals are taken
from the cages they have travelled in
during the summer, and placed In
spacious box stalls, roomy enough to
permit of their taking plenty OF exer-
else. The "a elephants have house
to themselves, the cars are run into
the car sheds, and everything is prop
erly slowed away. The establishment
in Bridgeport now assumes a different
appearance from what it, did in sum-
mer. The heads of many depart
ments and their assistants are located
here, and are on salary all the year
round. Under their supervision new
tents are made, new cages and cars
built, animals taught new tricks,
equestrians practice, and the whole
place is one of animation. Trainers,
wheelwrights, blacksmiths, and boss
es of other departments are con-
stantly purchasing things of all kinds.
About the 18th of November the main
business office is opened in New York
City, which Is connected with the
winter quarters by telephone. In
this Office are located the heads of de-
partments who are in the employ Of
Mr.. j. A. Bailey by the year, not by
the season as with all other shows.
From this office the agents are dis
patched all over the world in search
of novelties of every kind. Here also
all the clerical business Is done OF
every character. Money is paid out
for all goods, bills received, correspon-
dence transacted, new printing mat
ter designed, contracts of all kinds
made, the route made out, performers
engaged, costumes designed and man
ufactured, and a general banking
business transacted, for money has to
be sent to all countries where the for
eign agents are located. The winter
months really are as busy with the
show as the summer Ones-in fact,
they might be said to be even buster,
for aside from giving exhibitions all
the rest of the vast details connected
with the show business is done dur
ing that period. The Barnum &
Bailey Show is the only one in the
world engaging agents and heads of
departments by the year. In fact,
everybody is hired by the year, ex-
cept performers, canvassmen and
railroad men. No wonder it is the
Greatest Show on Earth, and so long
as IT. exists il ALWAYS will be, 1t will
be here on July 14th, with 60 railroad
cars. two menageries, "a elephants,
1000 employees, 300 performers, two
droves of camels 40 ponies, so cages
of wild beasts, Johanna, the gorilla,
many curious animals in leash, and
1000 other things. The performance
will be given in three rings. three
o'clock.
