featnres compels the conclusion that
ire own former records have been
surpassed. It seems to be an estao-
hshed fact that when the American
nuh,ic wants to see the latest Euro
mean sensations it must go to the Bar
nun & Bailey show. From time TO
time during the winter months news
paper readers have their interest
aroused by stories Of remarkable
achievements by daring performers
in the Old-World arenas. These per-
formances are often so remarkable
that important American newspapers
devote columns, and even pages, OF
their Sunday magazines to describing
and Illustrating them. This is not
done through any solicitation on the
part of interested persons, but be-
ca1se the feats are so startling as to
constitute news of the most inter
esting and important character. The
public reads of these notable acts,
dimly wonders, perhaps, whether
they will ever be seen in America
and then, almost before the first i'm
preston of wonder has passed away
a definite announcement is made that
the furore-creating sensation has
been secured as a feature with the
Barnum & Bailey show. The amount
of clever work and the extent Of the
tremendous expenditure involved in
securing these epoch-making acts
can only be conjectured.
This seasons compelling SEN
sations embrace the exciting 1.-TWO
Twirls of Terror in which two
death-defying bicyclists turn COM
plete revolutions on their wheels
while. shooting through space; the
Dip Of Death in which a, beautiful
young American girl loops the gap
in an automobile, and several other
.1Thrillers'' that have created unlim-
tied discussion.
It is evident, however, that these
startling acts are not permitted to in
terfere with the general excellence OF
the circus performance, for the ros-
ter of great riders, acrobats and aeri-
alists is an exceptionally long and va
r;ed one. There are also scores Of
original and novel offerings, quite dlf-
ferent from anything hitherto pre-
sented in the American circus arena;
the trained animal features are de-
scribed as unusually novel and ef-
fective; there is an amusing infusion
of comedy by a company Of up-to-
date clowns; the old Roman races
are revived on colossal scale, and
a, notably complete collection Of rare
animals offers an interesting study to
the crowds that visit the big show
This years spectacle is entirely new
and in keeping with the spirit of the
times It is entitled Peace, and IS
described as the most brilliant alle~
gorical' and military display ever de-
vised.
There will be, no parade by the
Barnum & Bailey circus, but a sensa-
tional free show is promised for the
hour prior to the opening Of each
performance.

IN MAGISTRATES COURT.
The Case of the State VS.. Williams
Resulted in Alistrial.

From noon Thursday until after
o'clock that night Magistrate Hardy
and a. jury of six heard and endeav-
ored to determine the case Of the
State VS.. T. W. Williams. Mr. T. D.
Fields appeared as prosecutor IN the
case.
The case was a criminal proceeding
growing out of the fact that pos
tai money order made payable to the
Hotel Jackson was cashed by Mr..
Williams, and the vital question in
yolyed was whether or no this act
was done prior or subsequent to the
dissolution of the copartnership busi-
ness in which the prosecutor and de-
fendant were engaged as proprietors
of the Hotel Jackson.
After a very tedious trial lasting
an unusual length Of time for a case
in magistrate court, the jury found
that an agreement was impossible and
MAGISTRATE Hardy ordered mistrial.
The jury was composed Of Messrs. j.
H. Witherspoon, D. III. Dick, j.. D.
Shirer, w. M. Folsom, W. II. Strick-
land and ". 7. Spann. 1t is under
stood that the jury stood 8 for acquit-
tai and for conviction.
The case will be called for trial
after the adjournment of the Court Of
Common Pleas and General Sessions,
which convened in this city on Mon
day last.

Plan for more cOOps than last year
Put less chicks into each house than
last spring. Reduce the number of
chicks you start in each broodcr. DO
not give too many chicks to each
mother hen. There is money in this
advice we urge upon you. You will
raise better birds, more Of them too,
if you do not crowd them. If neceS-
sary hatch fewer chicks and give them
better chance for growth. Most
broOders are rated too high, are usually
crowded with chicks and this ends in
the death Of many Of the birds.
Chicks double in size 50 quickly that
the brOOder that was comfortably filled
last month Is Overcrowded today.
Treat the broOdcr chick as you do the
winter laying pullcts and give both
plenty Of room if YOU expect them to
do their best If you would have a
house of birds next winter that ara
first class you must not crowd them at
any time bet the coming from the
egg to the laying of the first egg

Preventing GrasshODDers

To secure immunity from attack the
eggs Of grasshoppers should be destroy
cd in late fall or early spring. These
are usually laid in compact ground, es-
pccially along roadsides and in the I'M
cultivated borders Of fields. Bare. high.
sandy ground and closely grazcd pas
ture land is especially resorted to for
egg laying. The female forces her alb
dOmen into the earth for about an inch
and at this depth the eggs are laid in n
mass Of about thirty in a pod-like
cavity.
Fall blowing to a depth Of eight or
nine inches will effectually prevent any
Of the young hoppers from reaching the
surface when they hatch in the spring
Thoroughly narrowing infested land in
late fall, SO the surface is torn up to
Che depth Of an inch or two will breal
open most Of the egg nests and prevent
Matching Disking the lapd in early
spring before Matching time will accom-
plish the same purpose. The insects
hatch from about the middle of April
until the middle Of May in Ohio, de-
pending on the latitude and on the for.
wardness or backwardness Of the sea-
son.-H. A. Gossard, Ohio.

Examine the Chicks For Lice.

At this time of the year the dropping
chick must be carefully examined says
NJ. X. Boyer in Farm Journal A sin
gle gray louise on the head Of chick
will soon end the little ones existence.
When we find such and the chicks are
with a hen, we take n sponge and dip
it in Kerosene After squeezing out all
the oil possible we rub this sponge
we'll over the breast and under the
wings of the hen. When the chicks
gather under her their heads become
anointed, and as it takes very small
amount Of kerosene to wipe out the
louise the work is quickly done. In
bad cases it may be necessary to re-
peat this treatment several times.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Leon Citizen
Shows How to Cure them.

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame, weak or
aching back they think that it is only
muscular weakness; when urinary
trouble sets in they think it will soon
correct itself. And so it is with all the
other symptoms of kidney disorders.
That is just where the danger lies.
You must cure these troubles or they
lead to diabetes or Bright's disease.
The best remedy to use is Doan's Kid
ney Pills. 1t cures all ills which are
caused by weak or diseased kidneys.
Leon people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. w. Cox, wife of w. r. Cox,
farmer, living three miles north of
Leon, says: 81 fell and strained my
back three years ago and to that
attribute the attacks of aching which
followed. Not only were they evident
in my back but they extended clear to
my shoulder and around the side.
When in the acute stage | could not
stoop or even lift pound and after any
sudden or awkard movement | was
always rewarded with sharp excru-
ciating pain which resisted all my
efforts. l used porus plasters and other
makeshifts but the benefits received
were transitory. ! heard about Doan's
Kidney Pills and went to Van Werdens
drug store for box. The use of three
boxes positively prove to me that the
remedy can be depended upon. l
honestly believe that Doan's Kidney
Pills as medicine for the kidneys is
uneXcelled."
