WILL SEAT 5000 PEOPLE.
Better Accommodations for Care
Of Crowds.

The enlarged grandstand at the Spo-
kane Interstate Fair this year will &C
commodase 1000 people and will furnish
actual seating capacity for At least 5000.
This means its capacity Is nearly double
what it was before. The grandstand
was crowded to its utmost limits several
times last year. and it Is believed that
with greater accommodations in this re-
spect the crowds which witness the
races will be much larger than at any
time in the past. Seven thousand dol
lars have been expended in charging
the grsndstand. The stairway also has
been changed 50 that it will come to the
top Of the srandstand and avoid all the
confusion which usually prevailed last
year around the center Of the building
where people were constantly coming
and going. Chairs are being installed
to take the place Of the benches which
were used last year tor reserved seats.
This will be big improvement and will
be greatly appreciated by patrons.
These improvements IN the grand.
stand will be enjoyed by the crowds
which attempt to see the races on Derby
Day and on other specia: occasions.
With this grandstand filled with 1000
cheering people. If the horses are not
able to run it will not be because they
have not enthusiastic hackers. In fact.
there is everything to indicate Spokane
will have the finest racing this year ever
held

Attention. Wheat Growers.

As harvest time draws near and crops
are looking fine, one thing you must look
out for-that is fire. A careless smoker
a cigar stub or a fire IN neighbours iielo
may sweep away your entire years
work. And without insurance what have
you to show for your work, when for a
small sum you can insure your growing
grain while standing in sacks and into
the warehouse for the one price. Does
it pay you to 70 without insurance
Think about it. and if you conclude to
take insurance, why. call upon the Ad.
ans County Abstract Co., Rooms and
2. Tinnel Block. Ritzville, and they can
write you in the best companies on
earth; or they can write you cheap in.
surance in the best mutual insurance
company in the United States. but we dc
not like to see you take mutual insur.
ance. as in case of loss the best is none
too good. So insure with companies that
will pay you, as the best is none toe
good. We shall try and call on you per.
sonally, so be sure and reserve your in.

A. W. Amick, prominent farmer
living east Of Ritzville. was the victim Of
an accident last Friday afternoon. He
had just taken out a new engine with
which to operate his threshing ma.
chinery. The engine was stopped and
was standing in his yard. Amick wished
to draw some warm water from the
boiler. He stepped upon the cylinder
and opened the steam valve. the indi.
Gator showing pressure Of about twenty.
FIVE pounds. Whoever stopped the
engine had neglected to close the throttle
and the instant the steam was turned
into the cylinders the engine started
The wheels caught his toes. badly

the cylinders stopped by himself. He

an operation performed on both his tee,
by Drs. Bice. Hewitt and Johnson. The

l wish to ask the readers OF the News
If it were possible for board company
to 60 through the grain season without
losing a dollar what would become OF
the premiuml Is il not a fact that the
agent would get IS per cent Of it and the
balance 60 into the pockets Of the com.
pany?
In the Northwestern it is different.
Only ASK per cent is used for the en-.
tire expense and the balance. 74K per
cent, would be placed to the association's
credit to pay future losses or dividends.
For fifteen months on the safer class oil
risks it has been paying dividends on a

Forty Famous Fun Makers With
Great A.Paw-Sells Circus.

There are forty clowns with The Great
Adam Forepaueh and Sells Brothers
Enormous Shows. These clowns do
about everything but talk. They are
expert pantomimists. dancers. scrooafs
and infectious entertainers Of one kind
and another. They work in sronps Of
three or four at measured spaces around
the huge hippodrome track. Each group
works independently Of every other and
evolves its own entertainment. They are
CARRIED differently in grotesque patterns
Of costumers' invention and each set
furnishes its own properties for the pur.
poses Of stirring laughter. There Is
scarcely = minute In the whole round OF
the tremendous circus programme in
which this busy army Of fdn makers 10
not active in creating amusement AZ
an afternoons performance. when the

Is rare sight to witness the uprosrious
enjoyment Of these young folks. The
tricks are all new to them and the good.
natured "Merry Andrews" appeal JOY
fully to the boys and girls Of the great
human family. If the older head. who
may have the privilege Of seeing this
spectacle. does not derive pleasure from
the reading Of the radiant cheeks. dan
cling eyes and laughing voices round
about him. he must be a queer manner
Of man. and truly to be pitied. The
comedy life Of the Forepaugh and Sells
Circus runs all through the immense
programme. Besides the clowns there
are grotesque acrobats comical gym
aasts. eccentric aevialists, jovial dancers
and amazingly funny animal feats. Most
Of these clowns are European celebrities
who make their 6rst appearance In
America under the auspices Of Fore.
paugh and Sells Brothers. Favorites Of
Berlin. Vienna, Brussels. Paris and Lon.
don are In this remarkable galaxy Of
famous circus clowns. This feature Is In
keeping with all the other features Of
this remarkably developed and success.

added to with lavish disregard to ex-
