Iowa City, May 26.--The action of a
crowd Of college students duritg the
circus Parade of the Sells-4-Paw show
here almost caused a stampede of ele-
plants and a panic among the
crowds. The crowd worried the ele-
plants until the animals We're nearly
frantic and threatened to injure some
one. The trainers in order to quiet the
elephants. used their whips freely
among the hooting, bowling mob, which
only increased the disturbance
The students We're in waiting for the
parade ut the corner of Washington and
Clinton street, and the head of the pro-
cession was met with all kinds of yells
This was not noticed by the showmen
TN the elephants were opposite the
crowd, then trouble began The drivers
were on the backs of the big animals,
but when the students began to throw
rocks, the elephants We're unmanage-
able, ard the drivers dismounted. The
students crowding about the animals
and their drivers were. urged to be quiet,
and finally the whip was applied to sew
eral students.
Down Dubuque street the crowd of
students grew larger, and the elephants
could no longer be held back by their
keepers. The students were yelling
get him." catch him." and pressing
closer up to the animals. Numbering
fully 500 the boys followed the fleeing
elephants to the show grounds, all the
time making threats
The men in charge of the elephants
say that the wonder is that the animals
did not get away and hurt many per-
sons. They admit striking students
with the whips, but nobody was struck
who was not pressing in upon them
md trying to take them away from
sssair charges.

landed the men for using the whip
He called the men together after the
wagons were in the tent and urged
them to be patient if the students make
further trouble. and not do anything to
provoke trouble.
The students alone were to blame.
The keepers took insults for nearly two
miles on the streets. and aside from
applying the lash to n few who were
upon them they were patient

 Their escape followed an attempted escape of two convicts about a week ago, when "Billy" Doheny, a guard, shot and killed one, and perhaps nor tally wounded another prisoner.

SEVERE ATTACK or GRIP
Cured by One Settle sf chs1berisia's

ceslh Re@cdy.
 "When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest truth. at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking teaspoonful of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night would take dose and it seem- ed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass of and would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and it's accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as most agree able surprise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because l had never tried it for such purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before MT. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale by all druggists.

The Benefits of Advertising.

An exchange says: A newspaper reflects the business interests of a town in it's advertising columns. A business man looking for location always examines newspapers to see if his particular line is represented. If he is druggist and sees no advertise ment by the druggists he concludes there are none, or, if there are, they are all dull. If he is doctor or a lawyer, he looks over the professional cards to see if his profession is repre- scented. Prospective buyers like an invitation to come and trade with merchants. A card of the professional man is just as essential as the sign in front of his door. It is not question of being able to get along without it. A hardware man need not heat his store to keep things from freezing. He might have a booth out on the street or at skating rink, and do a lot of business, instead of paying rent at his store and buying fuel to heat it with, but it might not be economy to do so. Advertising is not a luxury, but rather an economic proposition recognized by all the best and most successful business men the world over.
