SHOW DAY.
Campbell Bros Circus Brought a Big Crowd
Of People To the City.

Last Saturday was show day. Camp
tracted an immense crowd of people
from the surrounding county, making
trade good for the business men and
lending interest and excitement to the
routine of every day life in the city. The
small boy was in his element and the
young girls were not loath to come out
and enjoy the occasion. Indians came,
too, in great numbers, with their gaudy
vestments, and legion of papooses to see
the white man in his carnival OF merry
making; the fathers came with their
children, as an excuse for being here,
and with all the good there was the u.s.
ual number who came in to have "a
time" and swelled head.
1t was typical show day for North
Yakima, for it is well known that no
difference what the character of the cir
Gus is it can command good attendance
in this place. And the show was moth
ing to brag on. Some people thought it
pretty good, others condemned it, whilst
many looked upon it as the same old
chestnut, in matter-of-fact way. How
ever there was a big crowd at the per-
formances in the afternoon. Nearly
5000 people attended at that time, suf-
ficient number to fill every seat beneath
the big canvas. At night the attendance
was small and it makes very little odds
about this fact, for the performance was
cut short as is often the case at night
performance in circus.
The show train arrived here at about
a. M. and by 10 O'Clock all the tents
were up on the grounds on the west side,
and by IL the parade took place. The
parade was not large, but it was fairly
good and called forth a big crowd on the
streets. Everything passed off quietly
enough in the city. excepting that a few
Indians got a little too much whiskey
and therefore were sent to the city jail,
from which they gained their release by
paying IS fine. At night few arrests
of white men were made for drunken
ness and among them were some show
men, who showed disposition to be
DULLES, and that with their fellow work
men. A fine of IS was taxed up against
the showmen, which was paid and they
were released.

A Happy Indian ,

Louie Mann, good natured Indian,
came to town on Monday and became
"full'' OF some kind of drink that put
him to laughing So ludicrous did every
thing appear to him that he would pull
up at post occasionally and have a
hearty laugh over its head and when
ever he would meet person on the
streets so great was his enthusiasm that
he would go off into a paroxism of mirth
This thing was kept up for little while,
and finally Marshal Boyle took him over
to city Jail to keep the vermin company,
At the hearing before Justice Taggard a
fine of rs and costs was imposed and Mr.
Mann borrowed the necessary cash and
purchased his release. In releasing the
prisoner the marshal gave him an old
coat that was in the way about the jail
house and with this Mann went out and
got on another spree. He said it was
too good to save him and he couldn't re-
sist trade for something that would
make him feel happy. Mann would not
tell on the parties who furnished him

Crazy Man In Town.

On Sunday morning man by the
name OF Hallowell called at the sheriff
office and asked Deputy Sindell to tele-
graph to his brother for funds and also
to tell him that he was here in bad
straights. The man acted rather queer
at first, saying that he was being
pursued by robbers who would
kill him, and later his condition
became such that he was locked up and
during Sunday night he kept up a hol-
lowing that disturbed everybody about
the Jail. The telegraph message was
sent to his brother in Colorado, who an
swered and forwarded $50 to send the
man home. Since Monday he has been
growing better and it is thought it will
not be necessary to send him to the
asylum.

Suit Over Potatoes.

Before Justice J. c. MacCrimmon last
Saturday the case of F. Groshen VS..
Frank Lyons was tried before jury OF
six business men. 1t appears that
Groshen made an agreement to sell
Lyons three tons Of potatoes at IS per
ton. Groshen did not have the IS po-
tatoes as he supposed, and instead deliv.
cred to Lyons three tons of potatoes
worth SIS per ton. When it came to eff
feet settlement Lyons refused to pay
only 50. After hearing all the testi-
mony the jury rendered "a verdict in
favor OF the plaintiff in the sum Of $50
and costs.

rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation Of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect Of this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.
