Ships CIRCUS DELIGHTS
THE PEOPLE OF AURORA

An Aurora paper has the following
| criticism of Ships circus, which
plays all next week at the rink on
Sixteenth street in this city:
Contrary to the expectations of the
management for the great Shipp in
door circus. showing at the Coliseum
| this week. fairly good sized audi
ence attended the performance last
evening. in spite of the Indictment
weather. Aurora people are beginning
| TO realize the exceedingly high merit
of this show and are commencing 10
warm up in their patronage. The
attendance grows larger at each per-
Torrance.
'One of the great acts of the show
i the turn done by Frank Smith. who
STYLES himself the upside down man.
His work i almost beyond concep-
tion. in fact it seems as though the
feats he performs would almost he
an impossibiIity for a human being t.
carry out. If Il fly did the same things
it would not seem "a strange. Mr..
Smith performs on Il trapeZe suspen-
ded high above the arena and he is not
protected by nets or other cOntriy-
enceS. He is all heaGwork in every
sense of the word. His head not only
has to be clear and steady. but ii is
essential that ii is steady while he is
on the bar.
Instead of working right side up
with care. Mr. Smith balances him
self on his head ON the trapeZe, with
out any support whatever. the swing
flying across the entire arena while
he is in this position. His act is 4
thriller with a capital T. Mr.. Smith
has signed Il contract for the coming
season with Barnum q Bailey.
1t is no eXaggeration when il is
said that Mr.. Shipp has the highest
salaried attraction of its kind that
ever visited Aurora.
The other members of the company
have signed contracts for the follow
ing enterprises: Mr.. ana Mrs. John
Rooney. Barnum & Bailey; Zam-
inert. Hobson and King. Ringling
Bros; Mr.. and Mrs. Shipp, Mile. Lo-
wanda. Di Comas family. and Bell and
Henry, Forepaugh-Sells Bros: the
wonderful Pascatel has signed for Il
10 weeks engagement in the City Of
Mexico. As on the preceding night,
the performers scored a tremendous
hit"

USED A SUMNER FORMULA
Reason Some Postage Stamps Curl IN I'm
usual Manner.

People who have been wondering
what made their recent purchase of
postage stamps curl and become brit
tie now have light thrown on the sub
jcct. The department is advised that
by some oversight the stamps were
gummcd with the summer formula
and the atmospheric conditions of
winter have caused them to tie them
selves up in knots. This circular from
the department has been sent out To
pOstmasterS:
Office of the Third Assistant Post
master General. Washington. ID. C.,
Jan. p, 1904. TO all pOstmasterS:
There has recently been issued by mis-
take to some pOStotficeS Il quantity
of postage stamps gummed with the
hard summer formula. which i'm the
winter season has caused the stamps
to curl and become brittle. Post
masters who have any Of these stamps
in stock arc directed to set them
aside to be sold during the summer
months, when atmospheric conditions
will correct the difficulty. If on ac-
count Of placing such stamps i'll re
serve. new supply is needed to meet
the demand of the public. rcquiSiiiuu
should be made on form 2201. The
partmcnt are gummed with the win
ter formula. Edwin c. Madden. third

Infiammatory rheumatism Cured In Three
Days.

Morton L. Hill, of Lebanon, Ind,
says: MY wife had inflammatory
rheumatism in every muscle and
joint; her suffering was terrible and
her body and face were swollen al
most beyond recognition; had been in
bed for six weeks and had eight ply
sicians. but received no benefit until
she tried the Mystic Cure for Rheu-
matism. 1t gave Immediate relief and
she was able to walk about in three
DAYS. l am sure it saved her life

LAND At CH|NNAMPHO
DISAPPEARANCE OF ICE IN THAT
HARBOR ExPEDiTES JAPAN
ESE ADVANCE.
RUSSIAN FLEET PREPARING TO MOVE
ADMIRAL MAkAROFF IN COM
MAND OF SQUADRON AT
PORT ARTHUR.

Paris, March 5.-Information re-
ceiyed here from official sources in
Korea confirms previous reports to the
effect that Chinnampho is free from
ice. that the Japanese have ceased de-
barking troops at Chemulpo and that
they have taken advantage of the
opening of Chinnampho to land troops
there, thus expediting the forward
movement.
Oficial advices from ST. Petersburg
confirm the reports that decisive
move is anticipated on the part of the
Port Arthur squadron, now that Ad-
miral Makaroff has arrived there;
that torpedo boats especially will be
brought into play and that, in spite
Of reports to the contrary, Russia is
understood to have an ample supply of
torpedoes for these craft.
The Temps publishes a dispatch
from st. Petersburg which says the
Russians have taken advantage OF the
stormy weather, which has prevented
further operations on the part of the
Japanese fleet, TO improve their de-
tenseE at Port Arthur.
The dispatch also says that the
Japanese fleet has been weakened by
damage sustained since Feb. 25 10 the
extent of six cruisers, five torpedo
boat destroyers and one gunboat.

RELATIONS MOST FRIENDLY.
Great Britain Assures Russia of Abso-
lutte Neutrality.

Paris, March 5.-To the gratifica
tion of France better relations be.
tween Russia and Great Britain are
promised as the result of the visit OF
Count Bepckendorff, the Russian am
bassador to Great Britain, to st. Pc
tersburg. From an authoritative source
it is learned that Count Benckendorff
not only carried verbal assurances OF
the absolute neutrality OF Great Brit
ain in the war but that he was the
bearer of documents establishing the
fact that the London government did
not want war and had used deter
mined efforts to prevent it, urging on
Japan the fact that the British press
did not represent the attitude or
wishes of the British government.
Official advices from st. Petersburg
show that Count Benckendorff' rep
reservations cleared away many sus-
picions entertained by the Russian au-
thorities. Russia does not desire un-
friendly relations with Great Britain.
She therefore met the British govern
ment half way and it is understood
that Count Benckendorff was charged
with most conciliatory measures by
the car. This new phase OF the situa-
tion. which has long been the subject
Of conversation by Foreign Minister
Delcasse and the ambassadors ac-
credited to France. has given rise to
feeling in official and diplomatic cir
clcs that it will be possible after all
to confire the Far Eastern war to Rus
STA and Japan.

STRIKE MAY BE AVEETED.
Both Operators and Miners Ready q
Make Concessions.

Indianapolis, March 5.-The oper
ators and miners sub-Scale committee
had been in session only short time
during the day when an adjournment
was taken in order that the miners
scale committee and officers could
hold a conference. There are indica
tions that considerable has been ac-
ceded on both sides in sitting demands
down TO a point where something def
mite can be determined. Though the
operators have not made any conces-
sons it is believed by those familiar
with the situation that they will get
down To their ultimatum at once,
which will be for a reduction Of not
less than 5 cents ton Oh screened
coal and proportionate increase for
all other mining and labor under the
mines. The Western Pennsylvania
and Ohio operators will not sign a
scale with reduction less than that
and it looks like the Illinois and In.
diana operators would stand firmly
with them.
