Big Arenlc Event.

Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest
Shows will exhibitin Ritzville Thursday,
August goth. Readers of this paper do
not need to be reminded of the magni-
tude and high character of this great
show, for its reputation as the largest,
most complete and best conducted cir
Gus, menagerie and hppodrome in the
world is universal. Its thousands of adj
mlrers in this vicinity will, however, be
interested in learning that the manage
ment has not only kept up the former
high standard of the show, but has also
organized for the present season the
largest and most comprehensive travel
ing exhibition ever known. The great
show has been entirely reconstructed,
while the list of performers, in every de-
partment, has been so completely
changed as to make this years program
new in every essential particular. There
are new acts, new artists and new spec
tacular displays, and every civilized land
the world over has been placed under
tribute to secure the latest and most
novel arenic features, The exhibition
opens with the most gorgeous and unique
display of Workmanship ever seen in
America. Perhaps the most fitting way
| to describe this beautiful act is to call it
a military horse ballet, 1t is given un-
der the immediate direction of John
o Brien, the greatest of all great horse
trainers. A splendid triple-ring circus
performance follows. Among the artists
are many who have never before been
seen in this country, but whose names
and achievements are known through
out the world. In the list of famous ac-
robats are the Nelson Family Of ten I'M
equalled artists; the Roberts Family, the
| Pettits, the Dibolan Brothers, the Leon
Sisters and the great contortionists, Gen
ero and Theol, and Ethardo. The aerial
lists are led by the latest novelty. espec-
tally imported by the Ringing Brothers
for this season, the wonderful Dunbar
Trio, direct from Australia; the Hollo-
way Trio, high wire acrobats; the Ban
wards, the Tybell Sisters, Nettie Carroll,
and the Mikado's Own Troupe of Jap
anese equilibrists from Jeddo. The rid
ing suipasses anything in the equestrian
line ever before attempted. Among the
great riders are the Hobsons, the Scha-
dels, John and Michael Rooney, Albert
and Madame Davenport, Reno McCree,
May Davenport, Julia Lowande and AL
bert Crandall. The trained animal Sec
ton of the show presents Capt. Webs
juggling seals, Prof. Woods dog and
pony circus and Pearl Souder's famous
comedy elephants. Forty funny clowns
contribute a wealth of comedy to the
performance. The menagere presents
the only living giraffe and hundreds Of
other interesting and curious animals, in
GLIDING 80 elephants. The hippodrome
races skillfully reproduce the exciting
scenes of the old Roman amphitheater
on scale of magnitude not surpassed
even in the days of Nero. The show will
be given here in its entirety, and that
means the biggest, best and most con.
vincing circus performance ever seen in
this city.

Thousand dollar and ten thousand
dollar bills are the same size as ST. and
50 bills. Their design is different, OF
course, but man who could not read
would see little difference between
them except the figures. The $1,000
and $4,000 bills do not often get out
side the banks. The principal use
that is made OF $1,000 bills, aside
from keeping them in the vaults Of
national banks to represent the re-
serve required by law, is for making
payments to people who do not want
to take them. Wish somebody would
pass one to us to see if we could tell
the difference.

The following item, taken from AT

The following item, taken from an
exchange, might well be applied to
some of the people of Ritzvile. There
are people who have lived here so
many years without seeing any i'm
provements in the town that when a
person comes along and wants to en-
bark in any line of business they tell
him that he can't make living here;
that there is no room for him, and
consequently retard the growth OF the
town. II your neighbor is prosperous
let him prosper. DON'T try to drag
him down by grumbling and grunt-
ing at his success. Say good word
for him. Encourage him. Let it go
at that. Speak encouragingly or keep
your mouth shut. Work and hustle.
Your turn will come next. No man
is the whole show. II your town is
moving along nicely feel good about
it. Help it move. Put your shoulder
to the wheel and shove little. Push.
Try to get some of the benefit your
self. You are entitled to it If you
work for it. Don't stand around like
a shriveled cadaver snarling at every
sunbeam that Eliminates another S
soul. Do little more hustling your
self. Don't be knocker.

"Prosperity tries the small man; adj
versity the great one" 1t is a test Of
true manhood when one can come up
with a smile on his face no matter
what the cost. He will ever be ready
to help even though he is not as pros
porous as he hoped to be. 1t is by do
ing the little things OF life that we en-
large our capacity for greater ones.
Adversely tends to make man more
sympathetic and helps him to realize
that he cannot get along in this world
unless he has assistance. Let us be
large hearted wherever we go. Let us
help that we may be helped. "With
what measure We meet, it shall be
measured to you again." If we al
ways bear this in mind and act ac-
cordingly our lives will be useful.

tired feeling, or the thirst that comes
from beer sign. keep COOL" and the
physician who does not advise it doesn't
know his business. Unless you follow
this prescription you will get little ny
gienic benefit from either food, drink or
clothing. No man who sweats or SWEET
ers can expect to be comfortable other
wise. And chief corollary of this rule
is, "Never walk on the sunny side of the
street" If there is no shady side, you
should find 4 street that has one, and if
your grocer has his shop on the sunny
side you should trade with somebody
else. OF course it is not necessary to
caution people against exerton, except
a few who may have something to do.
But whenever you get sunstruck you
should not do any more work, but go
home and go to bed and keep cool. The
day will feel much cooler if you will ap-
ply hot water bottles to the body, for you
will have delightful relief when you are
taken away. These suggestions come
from long life of experience. Anyone
who follows them will spend very de-
lightful summer. No charge for this adj
vice.

1t is an element Of human nature and
desire that every man has, to rise high
in the world. Every man is proud of his
noble achievements but regrets the mis-
takes he has made. We all desire to be
honored, this is one of the most natural
things in the world, and it is not a selfish
desire. providing we gain our honor
through the proper channel. We should
make our actions conform with the prin-
ciples of morality and in doing this we
are continually climbing the ladder which
will in time lead us to that place where
all men desire to be and where all men
should be. 1t is not what we say, but
what we do that makes our lives success
full. We have often heard the old adage,
"Wcll begun is half done" but this is
not always true. 1t is good thing to
begin well but it is better to continue
we'll. He who can lay plans for good
beginning, and continue such plans, will
always be able to meet any conditions.
There is a continual demand for men
who are able to undertake projects and
carry them through, but a man in order
to be successful must be continually
pushing to the front and never allow any
thing to drag for want of support. Abl-
ity, plus opportunity, equals obligation.

KINGS FIRST LEYEE.
An Exceptionally Brilliant Function-Some
Americans Present.


LONDON, Feb. liking Edwards first
levee since his accession to the throne
was held at st. James Palace to-day and
was. an exceptionally brilliant function.
The Prince of Wales, the Duke. Of Con-
naught and other members Of the Royal
family were present, and the gathering
Of members OF the diplomatic corps, Cab
met ministers, naval and military officers
was unprecedently large.
The levee began with a reception Of the
ambassadors, who passed before His Ma
jesty in order of precedence, followed by.
their secretaries and the naval and mill
tary attaches. The cabinet ministers
and others entitled to the privilege Of
being present, followed the diplomats and
finally the general company, including
Mrs Allison Armour, of Chicago, and
Charles Gibson, f Boston, passed before
the King,
AS Prince Of Wales, King Edward mere
" bowed to the presentees or shook hands
with intimate friends, but to-day new
feature was introduced. All those who
were known to His Majesty kissed his
hand though they did not kneel as was
customary when kissing the late Queen
Victoria's hand. The King himself Sc
lected those who were to kiss his hand,
by extending his hand palm doWnwards,
whereupon the presentee placed his own
hand beneath His NIajesty's and kissed
the Kings hand on the back The ma
iority OF the nresentees, therefore. had
to be contented with simple bow.

LEGISLATURE TO
MEET NEXT WEEK
Bills Of Local Interest to Be
Presented-Some Warm
Fights.

Much interest is beginning to center
around the reassemblinS of the Legisla-
ture next week.
Many of the members will probably be
here by the end of this week. The re-
convening of the body will have at least
two features. One of them will be the
fact that MISUNDERSTANDING Joseph H.
Willard will preside over the Senate for
the first time; the other will be that Gov
ernor Montague will likely submit his
first message to the body. Interest CEN
tiers in both of these events.
One of the liveliest sessions held In 4
long time is anticipated. The great con-
test for seats in the House from Norfolk
city will be d hot one, and will afford
much warm discussion both in committee
and on the floor. The record is a vol
luminous one. and is now in the hands of
the members of the committee. The
only other contest is that of Fulton Demo
craD VS.. lIiEbetts Republican). from the
district of Buchanan, Dickinson and Wise
The resolution aUpropriatinS SSo0.o0o for
pensions, which has already passed the
Senate, will cause a big fight in the
House Several new pension bills will
be introduced and much other legfsla-
ton general in its character will lie pre-
scented for consideration.
The election of Electoral Boards for the
several counties and cities will cause
some fights. and the matter Of reap
portioning the State into legislative and
congressional districts will occasion some
lively debate 1t is believed that the
session will be extended for thirty days
after March 4th, upon which date the
session will expire by limitation. This
extension will be without pay to the men,
bers.
There are two bills Of local interest
which will be presented at the coming
session. One is TO divide Clay Ward and
the other to provide for Jim Crow
cars on the suburban lines around
Richmond Hon Charles Al. Wallace
Jr., of Richmond, proposes to present
the former, and Hon. Thomas w. Gard
ner. Of Henrico. the latter. The division
of Clay into two wards has long been an
issue. and Mr.. Wallace indicated In
,ublic speech the other night that he
you'd offer such a bill. Nix. Gardner said
esterday that he would present bill
Or separate cars for whites and blacks
on the lines around Richmond He said
he had no special interest in the matter
himself. but would make the move at the
instance of some Of his constituents.
II will be recalled that Colonel Cation,
of Alexandria, has already presented
general bill for separate street-cars,
which is designed to apply to the entire
