Comical Clowns.

Boys will be boys and girls will be
girls" This is one of the most beauti-
full maxims ever coined. Who but
the clown in the circus can so effect
lively recall life's bright sunshiny
hours? What grander sensation can
come to the human being than when
clown, he or she is suddenly encircled
in dreamy maze that makes them a
child once more? Therefore, a circus
without a clown is like Hamlet with
out the melancholy Dane.
Aiming to make every epoch of the
great F'lotO shows complete in it's mi
nutest details, the management have
searched near and far for talent that
can touch the heart strings of both
young and old. Laughter producers in
all the term implies have been en-
gagged regardless of cost, and the
worlds foremost clowns, testers, MINI
les and pantominists will be seen in
friendly rivalry, competing with each
other striving to exemplify that grand
old adage: Laugh and the world
laughs with YOU
Never before in the history of tented
amusement enterprises has careful at
tention been given to this part of the
program. An army of real fun pro-
ducers have been engaged, and the
management of the great F'lotO shows
have been liberal in the extreme in
their efforts to make King Laugh the
reigning sovereign of Their colossal en-
tertainment.
Conceded that this feature of the
circus was primarily prepared for the
Juvenile portion of the great Floto
shows patrons, it appeals to adults as
we'll. 1t is one of the many depart
ments of this great show that will
make you happy you came.
1t will be in Walla Walla Friday.

BOARD DROPS VETERAN
Portus B. Weare Dismissed From Cri
cago's Board Of Trade.

CHICAGO, July 11.-Portus B.
Weare, one of the oldest members of
the board of trade has been expelled
from that organization on a charge of
dishonest conduct. He was formerly
head of the Weare commission COM
pany and operated an extensive line of
grain elevators. In March, 1898, Mr..
Weare was suspended for two years.
The expulsion of the old operator
was decided upon by the board of di-
rectors at a meeting which lasted I'M
til late into the evening. Witnesses
were heard and a report was received
from a special committee which has
been at work on the case for months
Country operators said that profits
made through the Weare firm We're
misappropriated
One farmer, who came from Fonta-
nellie, Iowa, as a witness testified when
margins and profits to the amount of

was run down and killed by North
Western train after he had made re-
heated threats to end his life because
his wife and children had been lost in
the wreck Of the steamer Norge. He
had been watched for several hours by
friends, who feared that he was de-
ranged. They departed at midnight
He left the house soon after and was
found dead at o'clock in the morn
ing.
Hanson's story is pathetic. He had
saved enough to furnish a little cot
tage. Then he sent money for his wife
and children to join him. After they
embarked for America he worked
nights at the shop of his employer on
special chairs and other furniture tc
give his wife.
Then came the news of the ship
wreck. Hour by hour he waited for a
cheering word through the consuls
office. When none came he stopped
his work and remained at home Then
came his threats to kill himself and
the finding of his body.

ROOSEVELT MAY AID THEM
Steps to Prevent Further Massacres
Considered.


OYSTER BAY, n. Y, July 1.-THE
president is expected soon to make an
important move in the matter OF the
Armenian atrocities. Every day let
tiers and cablegrams tell him of recent
massacreS of Armenians and urging
him to take action to prevent further
slaughter. The state department is
in possession Of all the facts and Pres
trent Roosevelt is Informed as to the
latest developments.
Both President Roosevelt and men,
bers of his family are staying much
closer home this summer than in past
years. Formerly the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt frequently were seen
riding and driving through the village
and over the country roads, and scarce
ly day passed that the children were
not seen riding bareheaded through the
village without an escort or guides
The villagers do not take kindly tc
this new eXclusiveness.
An unusually large number OF
threatening letters received by the
president this year is said to be the
chief cause Of all the precautions
Crank letters from all parts of the
country are opened by Secretary
Loeb daily. 1t is feared that despite
the extra precautions of secret service
men some of these cranks may ge,
into the village and attack members OF
the presidents family
