JAP JUBILEE CARNIVAL
The MlkadO Orders a Peace Pageant
at Lewis and Clark EXPOSE
tion August 81.

A remarkable pageant will be seen
at Portland, on the waters Of the lake
inside the Lewis and Clark Exposition
grounds, on the night of August 81.
The Emperor Of Japan has instructed
his commissioners to prepare a grand
peace jubilee carnival, in antici-
patton of speedy declaration Of peace
between his country and Russia. The
birthday Of the Crown Prince Of
Japan, August 81, has been selected
as the day for the celebration. Consul
Alba, the Mikado's diplomatic repre-
sentative at Portland, is cooperating
with japanese Commissioners Ito and
Kushibiki, and the affair promises to
be the most highly interesting Of any
that has been held at the exposition.
Its international significance adds to
its importance.
The celebration will take the form
of huge and brilliant water carnival,
beginning at o'clock at night. Eight
immense floats are being built, to sail
through the water in splendid pro-
cession, each float typifying some
japanese idea of historical or senti-
mental interest. For instance, there
will be a battleship float, sixty feet
long, with Japs aboard representing
Admiral Togo and Marshal Oyama
Another float will be an enormous
dragon, and still another will be in
the form of a huge chrysanthemum,
with a dainty japanese maiden re-
posing in the center.
At least hundred other boats will
be on the water, lining up in the
grand parade. Half dozen electric
launches, to each Of which is to be
attached a line Of ten or more row.
boats, will take part in a serpentine
procession, performing wonderful eyo-
lutions, and as each boat will be
brilliant with japanese and Chinese
lanterns one needs no further de-
scription in order to appreciate the
fact that this promises to be strik-
ingly interesting feature of the carni
val. There will be japanese music,
japanese songs, japanese Juggling,
fencing and acrobatic exercises.
Japanese fireworks will be one of the
grand features, preceded or inter
spersed with pyrotechnics of the
American fashion.

A Warming to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. As a rule it is only
necessary to give the child a dose OF
castor oil to correct any disorder OF the
bowels DO not use any substitute, but
give the old-fashioned castor oil, and
see that is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates
and has a tendency to gripe. If this
does not check the bowels give Cham ber-
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and then a dose of castor oil,
and the disease may be checked in its
incipiency and all danger avoided. The
Gator oil and this remedy should
be procured at once and kept ready for
instant use as soon as the first indica-
tions of any bowel trouble appears.
This is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence even in cases OF
Cholera infantum. For sale by Wilson
Drug Co.
