Walter |. Mains circus Sent. 10.

Ten dashing equestrians, headed bv
Martina 10 Wanda, jr.. the well known
Brazilian horseman, are included in the
Walter L. Main New Big Fashion Plate
Shows, which are advertised to appear
here on Tuesday, Sept TO- Vieing with
them in daring and skill are ten beautiful
lady riders, headed by the circus queen
Miss Rose Dockrill. AS If this were not
enough, there is Canandaigua, the horse
back riding pony, the first and only act
or the kind ever exhibited in a circus
ring. Then, too, you can see 63 perform
ing horses and ponies In one ring at one
time performed by one man. This Is
unquestionably the greatest number of
trained thoroughbreds ever seen together
and certainly the most remarkable ex-
hibition of this character which has ever
been attempted. The circus will be seen
on the island grounds.

Utah and CafffoAia


Are two of the most magnetic names
in the roll Of states, and the best way
to reach them is over the Rio Grand
Western Railway, "Great Salt Lake
Route" AS the title intimates, the
Rio Grande Western is the only line
that passes directly through Salt Lake
City on the way to California; and Salt
Lake City and the Great Salt Lake are
the two points which should certainly
not be missed on your western trip, as
they contain more interest to the
average American than any two other
points within the confines ofthe Uunit-
ed States. Study the matter carefully
and you will choose the Rio Grande
Western in connection with either the
Denver & Rio Grande or Colorado Mid
land Railroads, for this reason, as we'll
as for the magnificent scenery, superb
equipment and fast time. It is popu-
lar in winter, as in summer; in fact lisa
very attractive route the year round.

The Body Found.

The body OF the unfortunate
boatmar, Lhis Guajardo, who has
been missing sinee last We'd
nesday night, was found by his
brother this morning about nine
O'Clock. Il was floating on the
river near the Mexican side about
"A mile below the ferry. The
brother was aboat to bring the
body to this side Of the river, but
was stopped by the Mexican an-
irlps, who required that II be
brought ashore and an inquest
held. which was done. The
investigation showed that there
were no marks of violence on the
body, and nothing to indicate any
thing more than accidental drown
ing. The relatives were then
permitted to bring the body across
the river, a coffin having mean
while been sent by boat.
The remains were inferred about
two O'Clock this afternoon. with
service by the Catholic church
The general conclusion seems to
agree with that of the Mexican
authorities, that deceased came to
his death by accidental drowning.
The baker, who was Guajardo ;
last passenger, aud who was arrest
ed in Matamoros on Thursday. was
released today, as there appeared
10 evidence contrary to his state
ment, which was in effect that he
left the boatman in the boat.
Guaiardo wore his slicker ut the
time, as it was raining on We'd
nssday night. 1t was still
on his body, as was all bis
other clothing except the hat,
which was found Saturday
on the river. Some
money was found in the pocket of
his trousers, and also a half bottle
of meScal.

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to
work necessarily .witE .braIn and
hand to hold their oWn>nowadays.
Never were the demands of bnsi-
ness, the wants Of the family, the
requirements of society, mere

praiseworthy effort to keep up with
all these things is commonly seen
in a weakened or debilited eondi-
ton Of the nervous system, which
results in dyspepsia, Detective nu

One Cause for Pride.

The mountaineors OF the Blue Ridge are
1lliterate In secular learning, but you Ie1-
dom find a household that is not well posted
in Scripture history. While they may not
be able to read the text. they can quote
without number, are eager for theological
controversy. are powerful exhorters and
feryent in prayer. Some OF the most eff
fectiye preachers can scarcely read or write.
Their language is rude. but inspired by deep
emotion. Northern people have told me that
the most eloquent prayers they ever listened
to were offered by uncouth. uneducated
mountaineers. This Is matter OF pride
with them. Men who can pray eloquently
and carry on theological controversies with
credit are quite as highly esteemed as those
, who excel in the use of the rifle or in ath-
letic sports.

BY birds the leafy trees among;
With merry carolings they woke
The meadows at the morning break
And through the day the lisping breeze
Is woven with their treetop glees;
For yeu the prattlins, pebbly brooks
Are full of tales like story books.
For you n fragrant incense burns
Within the gardens blossom urna,
Which tempts the bees to hasten homo
With honey for their honeycomb,
The river. like looking glass,
Reflects the fieecy clouds that pass
Until It makes us almost doubt
If earth and sky aren't changed about

The world seems fallen fast asleep
