The largest crowd OF people that has
been seen in this city for some time
was here to-day to see Gollmar Bros,
enormous circus. The people come In
crowds from every section of the coun.
try and not one OF the many went away
disappointed. The show gave big
street parade at 10 80 and is no ex-
aggeration to say that such magniti-
cient parade was never witnessed in
this city before, In fact they exhibit
more in their street parade than most
shows have ut their performance. The
performance was far superior to any.
thing in the circus line ever seen here
and was most literally patronized One
feature Of Gollmar Bros. circus,
worthy of special mention, is the ah.
sence of gamblers, pickpockets, graft
ers and hold.up men The show Is alb
solutely free from all such characters
and was highly complimented by it's
many patrons tor their good conduct

STILLS FOR DENATURED ALCo-
HOL.

In an article on the distilling BUSH
ness in France, Popular Mechanics
says: I'm the United States We are
accustomed TO associate the word
'distillery' with a massive building
from whose towering stacks belch
the ownership and operation of the
business being vested in some trust"
In France and Germany. on the 9TH
er hand. the process is more widely
distributed France has thousands of
small stills ranging all the way from
the simple affair of a small vineyard
or rose farm, up TO the concerns whose
establishments cover acres" Some OF
these small stills sell for as little as
$40 and have a capacity of only one
quart. Some are mounted on wheels.
Some are devoted to the manufacture
of liquors, but many are used for max
ing perfumes.
The strong temperance sentiment pre-
valling in the United States and the
country by the federal government for
taxing purposes have led 10 the dis
enlargement of the popular use Of
stills. But the large and growing in
dustrial demand for alcohol has led to
the enactment OF a law under which.
with proper safeguards. denatured al
cohol for Industrial purposes can be
produced. The fear that this privilege
might be abused with view TO the
manufacture of intoxicating liquors
made congress extremely cautious in
framing that law. As it first appeared
il was practically useless as a popular
measure Subsequently it was modified
so as to admit Of wider application.
But apparently little progress has yet
been made in the general production
and use of denatured alcohol
This is due, no doubt. partly to the
uncertainty in the public mind con-
corning the legal rights Of a citizen
under the new law. and partly to the
absence of small stills of low price
which are available 10 farmers and
others who would utilize their surplus
farm products in the manufacture of
industrial-that is, Observation-Disclosures.
The first question a person would ask
before investing, no doubt, would be
whether his product could be used
profitably by himself or whether there
is a profitable market for it. Until
these questions are answered there will
be no great demand for stills. and but
little popular interest in the denatured
alcohol business.

Epilepsy, Fits

Every part OF the body has ITS
nerves. It's the channel through
which energy-nerve force IS
transmitted. If too much nerve
force goes to part, it is irritated,
causing pain, congestion, spasms,
fits, epilepsy, etc. If not enough
it is enfeebled, and if none at all
paralysis results. DR.. Miles
Nervine soothes the nerves, as
sists the nerve cells to generate
nerve force, and in this way re-
stores nervous energy.

ANTI-RIor COMPROMISE
In One Way and Another the Situation
is improving.

New York, Jan. s.-The gloom OF
the rent strikersw turned to JOY to-
day, when the large number OF evic-
tions threatened by the landlords who
had warrants issued seemed TO dwin-
die materially. 1t Is difficult to get
marshals TO handle those that are
used. They said they were busy with
other things. Many landlords have
settled with their tenants rather than
pay the cost of eviction. Many tenants.
frightened by the action of the court.
have agreed to accept smaller reduc-
lions than were at first demanded.
Many cases were compromised in this
way. and in other cases the tenants
paid up the full amount demanded. but
there were few of these. In most in
stances II was the landlords who yield
ed. Thirty-six settlements were re-
ported at socialistic headquarters The
concessions varied from so cents to 81
