Sickness steals more savings than the
burglar. Slowly, coin by coin, the
money that has been so hardly earned
is paid out for drugs and doctors.
Sickness is the worst enemy OF the work

working mans sickness is disease OF the
stomach often involving the heart, lungs,
liver, or kidneys.
The use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med

the savings by sickness. 1t cures dis.
eases of the stomach and other organs OF

NEW BUILDING.
Standard OIL Company Improves Local
Property.

The Standard Oil Co. is making
preparations for putting up a new
building on the southeast corner of
the yard, where the ware room now
stands. The building will be good
sized brick structure with cellar
under the whole. 1t will be only one
story high above the ground, but the
ground space which it is to cover
will make ample room for the ma
chinery and othsr necessary furnish
ings. The building will be used as
an Office and ware room combined
and the old building which now
stands upon the site will be moved to
one sipe and converted into a stor-
age room for empty barrels etc.
The contract for the new structure
was awarded yesterday to Harry
Phinney and all the plans and figures
were placed in his hands. The work
of clearing out the old building pre-
paratory to moving it was begun
several days ago but Is somewhat re-
tarded on account of the lack Of men
to put on the work. The building in
which the Office is now located win
also be used as storage room.

great circus they become luminous.
Perhaps nothing would give better
idea of the magnitude OF this NAM
mouth amusement institution than an
enumeration of the following facts:
There are twenty big and little tents,
and they cover ground space of
twelve acres. II the thousands of
yards of canvass used in this city of
tents we're torn into strips foot wide,
they would reach two hundred miles.
The main hippodrome pavilion is
two hundred and fifty feet wide and
four hundred feet in length, and can
comfortably seat the population of a
city containing Is, 900 persons. After
disposing of the audience, there is
still room on the hippodrome track to
maneuver an army of 5000 men.
The menagerie pavilion is fraction
smaller than the hippodrome tent,
but the poles and cordage used in its
construction would mast and rig an
entire squadron of sailing vessels.
The tickets used for a single per-
Torrance when the main tent is filled
to it's capacity, if placed end to end
would, extend mile.
The show travels on its own spec
ial trains of cars. These cars cover
a mile of track and tralel 25, 900 miles
every season.
There are thirty elephants in the
menagerie - more than half the ele-
plants in the United States, land more
than have ever before been seen in a
single herd. Extended in single file,
the elephants would make line
three hundred feet in length.
The show owns two hundred and
eighty draught horses, one hundred
ring and thoroughbred racing horses
sixty trick ponies and sixty Shetland
ponies-an aggregate of five hundred
costly equines, To house these
horses ION the road" requires great
or ground than is used by any other
circus for its entire exhibition. The
average daily food consumption OF
these horses is ten tons of hay, three
hundred bushels of oats, twenty-five
bushels of corn and an immence a.
mount of bran.
TheIcircus comprises three hundred
high salaried performers. Among
them are sixty acrobats sixty aerial
tits, thirty riders, forty clouns, and a
great array of other artists. The bus
mess and executive departments OF
the show utilize the services of over
ahundred agents and superidtendents
The working people embrace an army
of six hundred experienced and dis
ciplined men.
The performance is given in three
rings, on two stages, in mid air and
upon huge quarter mile hippodrome
track, and is presented upon a scale
of grandeur and magnificence such
as the Snowman of twenty years age
never even dreamed of. The date Of
the show in this city is Monday July
81, and it will be the biggest amuse'
ment event of the year.
