Ringing Bros Famous Circus to Exhibit
in this City.

The announcement that Ringing
Brothers circus will exhibit in Greet
Bend, Tuesday, Oct. Sd, will be graft
flying news to all who have seen this
great show or tamiliariZed themselves
with its claims to unrivalIed fame.
Some idea of the size and scope of the
exhibition can be gained from the fact
that five trains of double length rail-
road cars are required to transport it
| from city to city, while the perfor-
mances are given in three rings, upon
two stages, In mid air, and upon an
immense hippodrome racing track, IN
| der an enormous canvas pavilion SO
vast that all other circuses in America
could be gathered, without crOwding,
undsr its colossal dome, The menag>
arie is the most complete geological
collection in America. the hippodrome
is an actual reproduction of the great
contests of old Rome. and the arenic
performance is so vastly superior to
anything ever before seen in this cOun-
try as to create distinct departure in
this form of popular entertainment.

riders and all other specialists numh

women, together with many other fea-
| ture performers now presented for the
| first time in the United States. Espec.
| ial attention has been given this sea
! son to trained animal displays. Lock-
| hart's elephant comedians compose the
most novel dramatic company in the
| world. These huge pachy derms actu.
| ally present plays and farces with an
| intelligence and clever appreciation of
| the power of expression by means of
pantOmime such as no human actors
| could surpass. Souder's elephant brass
band is the most sensational trained
animal feature ever seen in America.
O'Briens sixty-one horse act, the most
remarkable instance of trained equine
| intelligence on record, has created a
furore, while the new patriotic intro

| the Century" is declared by the leading
newspapers of the country to be the
| most gorgeous magnificent display of
| the kind ever attempted. Circus day
| will open with beautiful street dis
play, in which will be exhibited free

the days of Rome's great splendor and
spectacular extravaganza, could not
have eQualied.

Washington, Aug. 14-The secretary

dent that a great multitude of people
rendered utterly destitute by this aw-
full calamity, must be fed and cared
for during d considerable period until
they can have the opportunity to pro-
duce food for themselves. Enormous
quantities of supplies of the kinds in
Dictated by the governor general must
be procured.
The magnitude of the work to be ac-
complished, leads this department to
supplement the appeal already made To
che mayors of the principal cities Of
the country, by more general appeal,
and beg you to ask the people Of
the people of Porto Rico. Swift steam
ers nave been provided to leave the
port of New York to carry supplies di-
rectly to Porto Rico as rapidly as .hey

mated as depository for the relief

was sent to fetch a DOCTOR but not

to the court and asking there for a

TEN PER CENT A MONTH.
A Company Doing business I'm Maine
which Pays Fourth as Much Ms
franklin Syndicate.

The Mutual Investment company OF
Msine is the mare Of concern which Is
doing business in this state and claims to
have its headquarters In Portland. 1t
ad vertis,s to pay investors 10 per cent q
month which is oaly q quarter as mu Oh
was paid by the franklin Syndicate.
The Bangor Commercial printed q long
story about this concern Wednesday and
an alleged investor In the company slid
to r er orter:
"Ten per cent a month Is big wages
for money to earn, but this plan DOS 1t
and does 1t all the time. Howf Well, our
broker buys stocks. He win handle moth
ing but established rock foundation stuff
like Western Union, Leather, Atchison
preferred or q. b. and q or something
like those. He buys when things are on
the downward scale. II they coutinus
to drop he buys more. As they go on
down be buys more and more taking
in his biggest load at the bottom price.
"On socks of this kird there's bound
to be a Use before long. When that rise
comes our broker holds on until the price
has advanced two points above the aver
aga cost Of his t,tal purchase and then
he sells. That ruls Is rigid. he never
allows himself to hold minute after
the price has sons two points over his
average of purchasing cost.
"In that way he is absolutely sure Of
making money on every deal. 10 many
cases the returns are very large. Expen-
SEES on the o,ter hand are small and this
enables the company to diit:ibuts this
big dividend Of 100 per cent per year
while still retaining q reasonable profit
Of Its own and es.ablis hing fund as
cash guarantees against loss by panic or
any other financial disturbance"
"Then" suggested the reporter 81

vest 1t with the company 80 ~ to get
return on 1t OF 100 per cent. Then could
Dry my interest and principal iufiie of a
year and live for nothing for the rest Of
my days.
"That's the principal Of the thing Of
courss" said the subecriber. "Nobody
would do that but II might not be bad
proposition. However the company won't
take too much money at once and l
think IL rather encourages small sub
scr iptions. Many OF us put In small
amounts and lsave the dividends from
month to month In order TO increa !,
