BIG CIRCUS COMING.
Ringing Bros internationally Famous Show
10 Exhibit Here.


THE HERALD is able to announce by
authority that Ringing Brothers.
Worlds Greatest Shows will exhibit in
North Yakima Saturday, August Is.
OF all the great amusement enterprises
that America has produced, this is the
greatest, and a visit from this splendid
amusement institution is always looked
| forward to with eager anticipation. And
this is not surprising in view of all the
facts. Ringing Brothers circus is not
a circus of ephemeral growth. 1t rep
resents the best thought and the most
untiring energy of its proprietors and
originators during period of over fif-
| teen years. 1t began its career as a
small overland circus, grew so rapidly
that in few years its transportation
by rail became imperatively necessary,
and has continued to develop until to-
day it is not only the largest shoy in the
world, but is also the largest circus that
ever travelled. 1t began with one clear
and settled policy-fair and honest treat
ment of the public. This policy has
never been deviated from, and, as re-
suit, the Ringing name is universally
recognized as positive guarantee of all
that is high-class, novel and colossal in
the amusement world. People who go
to Ringing Brothers circus expect to
see great show-and they are never
disappointed. 1t has always been a
great circus-even in the days of its in
fancy there was something about the
show that gave it individuality and COM
PEELED admiration-but this years Of
fering surpasses anything ever attempt
ed even by the managers OF this remark
able institution. From beginning to
end the performance is new-there are
new acts, new spectacular displays, new
arenic features OF all kinds while, in
the beauty and magnificence of its para
phernalia, in the completeness of its
world-gathered geological collection,
which embraces the only giraffe on earth
and in the thrilling realism of its hippo
drome displays, it sets a standard that
is entirely its own and which no other
show could possibly hope TO reach.
Among the great features this year is a
magnificent horse ballet-by far the
greatest horse display ever seen in Amer
lea; superb aerial performances by Dun
bars, direct from Australia; the Hollo-
ways, the Pettits, the Banvards, the
Ty Bell Sisters and many other famous

STORES CAR DEMOLISHED.
PASSENGER Train in Collision in Brat
tleboro Saturday-Switch on Main
Line Was Left Open.

A supply car was wrecked beyond
repair a locomotive was dismantled
a caboose was crushed and a freight
car was damaged in a collision in the
freight yard below the Brattleboro sta
tion Saturday afternoon. No one was
seriously hurt. A misplaced switch
was the cause of the accident. The
passenger train on the New London
division of the Central Vermont rail
road. due in BrattlebOro at ] o'clock,
was about on time. When it reached
the switch some distance south of the
station Engineer S. A. Collins and
Fireman Frink were amazed to see the
locomotive leave the main line and
take the siding. they realized that
they had run into an open switch
But short distance ahead stood
Conductor Fitzpatrick's freight train
with a stores car attached behind the
caboose. A collision was unavoid-
able. but quick action might diminish
the force of the impact. The air
brakes were applied. and Engineer
Collins reversed his lever. Fireman
Frink jumped to the ground, but the
engineer remained at his post. Scarce
ly had the fireman jumped when the
telcscoped it. 4 large oil tank across
one end of the stores car doubtless
reduced the force of the collision.
The sides of the car were spread
apart and the locomotive passed about
half way through. driving the trucks
under the rear end of the stores car
against those under the front end.
The stack of the locomotive was
broken off, the headlight was smashed
and the pilot was demolished. The
caboose. next the stores car, was
doubled up like a iack-knife and the
dead-woOd and draw bar We're driven
through the end beam of the freight
car ahead. The passenger car plat
form was broken and the draw-bar Of
the passenger car was pulled out by
the force of the recoil. a number of
windows also were broken The To-
connective was No los and was con
sidered by trainmen as one of the best
on the road.
Two trainmen from st. Adams were
in the stores car when the collision
came, but they happened to be in the
end remote from the point of contact
and so were not hurt. In the bag
gage car were Baggage Master Reed
Express Messenger Mellendy and
Brakeman Mitchell. All three were
tumbled about roughly, but were not
hurt. Several passengers were thrown
from their seats, but escaped injury.
The destination of the train was Brat
tleboro, so there was no delay on ac-
count of the accident. Had the train
been running at full speed it is likely
that there would have been loss of life.
Formerly this switch was operated
entirely by yard switchman but for
year or more it has been the Gus
tom for trainmen to operate it. al
though every man has been supposed
to leave ii as he found it.

RRATTLeeoRo BOYS PROMOTION
Ora E. Rutterfeld Appointed Attorney
for the Michigan Central Railroad
system at 81.

TO receive the appointment, unso-
lcited of attorney for a great rail
road system is a recognition of ability
that rarely comes to young man of
81 years, but il has come to a former
Brattleboro boy-Ora f. Butterfeld of
Ann Arbor. Mich. Mr.. Butterfield's
many Brattleboro acquaintance do
not need to be told that he always has
possessed a brilliant mind, but they
will read with interest the following.
which was printed. together with a
three-column cut of Mr.. Butterfield, in
the Ann Arbor Daily Argus Of Feb
ruary >:
90 e. Butterfeld at the age of 81,
becomes the attorney for the general
system of the Michigan Central rail
road. The appointment. which has
just been made, means that Mr. But
terrified ranks third in the legal de-
partment of this great railroad system
and his only superiors in the depart
ment are Ashley Pond. the general
counsel. and Henry Rnssel, the general
attorney. 1t means that Mr.. Butter
field will superintend railroad cases
from Chicago to Buffalo and from
Mackinac to Toledo and this will nee
esstate his removal to Detroit for his
headquarters.
Mr.. Butterfeld is a brilliant young
man. For some time back it has been
freely predicted that he would be the
leading attorney of the Washtenaw
bar, but the Michigan Central has
recognized his ability and drawn him
away from the narrow field here and
placed him in a responsible position
where his abilities justify.
Ora Elmer Butterfeld was born
November Q. 1870, at Brattleboro. VT.
He was educated in the schools there
and was graduated in 1886. He worked
at the carpenters trade for some time
and then went to Child's business col
lege in Springfield. Mass, graduating
IN 1888. He spent the next year in
Colorado and in the fall of 1889 en-
tered the law department of the Uni
versity Of Michigan. He was gradu-
ated and admitted TO the bar in June.
1891. He entered into partnership
with John F. Lawrence. He had been
an alderman and city attorney. He
was a delegate to the National Conven-
ton of the League of Republican clubs
at Omaha in 1898 and was elected
michigan member of the executive
committee. He has been chairman of
the Washtenaw Republican county
committee since 1896 and was also cir.
cunt court commissioner for four wears

days notice of the date Of the hearing
and so had not had time to prepare II is
