Born in Iowa.

Our family was born and raised in
Iowa, and have used Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy
(made at Des Moines) for years. We
know how good it is from long expert
ence in the use of it. In fact, when in
Ell Paso, Texas, the writer's life was
saved by the prompt use of this remedy.
We are now engaged in the mercantile
business at Narcoossee, Fla, and have
introduced the remedy here. 1t has
proven verp succ' s,fu' and is constantly
growing in favor.-Ennis Bros. This
remedy is for sale by Owl Drug.

greet their neighbors from Yakima.
and the indications are that the
visitors will be given the same lib
eral patronage again as they were
accorded on their first trip.
That Pinafore will be we'll pre-
scented is not to be doubted for a
moment. The amateurs have a
splendid s., 900 stage setting used
in the performance, and their cos
tunes were secured from the San
Francisco Opera, now playing a
summers engagement in Seattle at
The Grand.
The people in Yakima are pre-
pairing to give the home talent show
a great reception. They have a
magnificent company of so singers,
and IS of the prcttiest girls in the
Yakima valley we selected to adorn
the stage in the capacity of chorus
girls.
Miss Doris Arrowsmith, phen-
omenal soprano, and beautiful
golden haired English girl, will
unquestionably make hit when
she appears as Josephine. She is
all the rage at home, and North
Yakimans predict that she will be
given an ovation here. Warren A.
Erwin, the popular tenor singer of
the Yakima valley, sings the lead
ing tenor role in Pinafore. l.. l..
Linn, great baritone plays, Sir JOS

heard in the role of The Boatswain.
Chas. Rasmussen will make a
great hit as Dick Deadeye. Miss
Lyle Gamble appears to great adj

fact the entire company sing and
act with the precision of profession

Wednesday afternoon and night
June 3rd ATE the greatest number
of clowns, testers, pantaloons, buf-
foons, zrneys, Yorick's and funny
fellows in general, ever assembled
with any tented organization in the
history of the amusement business.
One will encounter a big, fat clown
made up to resemble Little Red
Riding Hood another to repre-
sent Simple Simon" and so on
through the long list of nursery
rhymes. Aesop's fables have been
called upon to furnish material for
these funny fellows. Little plays
are enacted everywhere around the
large hippodrome track constantly.
Foxy Grandpa the katzen
TANNERS, Happy Hooligan, y
"Nervy Nat the fat policeman,
and all of the familiar, funny char
acters will be seen in fifty seven
varieties. These clowns are a
clever lot of fellows, too. They
receive large salaries for the dis
play of foolishness that they are
constantly engaged i'll. Take that
funny pantomine clown for instance
Toto Ducro, who represents Old
Mother Goose astride of a pro-
perty horse. Ducro receives sal
airy of SIS 90 per week for his part
of the fun. His latest creation en-
titled the Rabbit Hunt, y in which
little dog is made up to resemble
rabbit, is one of the most delici-
ously funny creations ever present
ed to the public. 1t is intensely
clever and artistic too, and Ducro
does some of the cleverest panto-
mine work seen in many day in
this little sketch. There are thirty
eight clowns with the Greater Nor
ris and Rowe circus this season.
Among them being men who have
appeared in every land making
people laugh. This Glowing bus
mess with a big circus is funny,
vet never coarse. 1t is harmless
fun, and the old enjoy it as well as
the young. Where is the child
that will not remember the clown
of the circus, always? During the
RIM of the Greater Norris & Rowe
circus in San Francisco this spring
279,S73 persons paid admission to
the big show. This is the greatest
number of people that ever assem-
bled in a period of thirty days to a
circus performance in the west.
The press of the city were unani-
nous in their praises of the new
big show and the clowns were
esneciallv commended for their

TAX COMMISSION
Refrsts Decision to Leave the
Board-Accepted

OLYMPIA, June l. lax Com
missioner J. H. Esterday today
formally rendered his resignation
as member of the state tax COM
mission and it was accepted by
Governor Mead. Announcement
that he contemplated such action
and that he would be a candidate
for attorney general was made some
time ago, and not denied by Mr..
Esterday. In resigning Mr.. Ester
day addressed the following letter
to the Governor.
L herewith tender my resigna-
ton as a member of the state board
Of tax commissioners and of the
state board of finance to take effect
June l..
MY three years, service as part
Of your administration has been
most pleasant, and the united effort
in all departments for good govern
ment has not been barren of results.
The trust funds of the state
have been handled in such a man
ner as to derive a greater revenue
to the state and, at the same time,
secure for the smaller school dis
tricts and towns a lower interest
rate.
Taxation, the disagreeable fea-
ture incident to all government,
has received careful attention, and
progress has been made toward a
more equitable adjustment of this
burden. The best results has been
however. in awakening in the peo-
pie livelier interest in this sub
ject-which is common to all.
People are beginning to fully APP
preciate that the manner in which
taxes are levied is productive of
good or bad results. Unjust taxa
ton checks the production of
wealth and restricts the opportun-
ldes for employment. It lessons
the rewards of industry and thrift,
which are essential to progress,
and creates feeling of disrespect
tor all law. For this reason every
one has direct personal interest
IN tax reform, for which your adj
ministtation has earnestly sought. !"
Governor Mead, in accepting the
resignation, wrote Mr.. Esterday as
follows:
It is with sincere regret that I
learn Of your decision, for I appre-
c'ate that in your retirement the

serious tactical mistake, for he there
