But ONE ENTRANCE
Decided to Restrict Pedestrians
and Vehicles to Single Gate
at Ball Park.
IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER
Old Exit Will BE Used, However,
Fence to BE Built at Back of
the Grand Stand.

President f. o. VanGalder and Sec
letary l.. NJ. Casteel of the Rock Is
and baseball club, paid visit to the
)all park Saturday afternoon in com
pany with Henry Horst, the contrac-
or. Some changes were planned and
Mr.. Horst was authorized to go ahead
and make them. The most important
me will be to arrange for having but
enc entrance for both carriages and
pedestrians. The old scheme of hav-
ing the carriages enter at one gate
and pedestrians at another was found
20 be unsatisfactory for purposes of
quick and accurate balancing of the
books at the close of each game. I'm
der the new scheme, the large gate
on the southeast corner of the field
will be the only entrance, although al
The gates will be used as exits.
The only addition necessary to cary
l.out the plans of the directors is to
build a low fence from the main en-
trance. around back of the grand
stand to the open space used for the
tying of the horses This fence will
separate the walk and the grandstaud
from the driveway 1t was found that
there was just enough room between
the rear of the grandstand and thr
outside fence, to allow space for both
the driveway and footpath.
Go Out Different Route.
The old gate will be used as an exit
for the buggies and they will not i've
allowed to go out at the same gate
they came in, as that gate is to %
thrown open to allow the people ~
foot to go out. A gate will be placed
at the end of the driveway which vii
be closed when all the teams are il
and which will close the driveway l.
them when going out Another gait
will allow the pedestrians to get int
the driveway on the way out.

ECZEMA
CANNOT BE CURED BY EXTERNAL
APPLICATIONS ALONE.
Advice From a Physician Who Has
Made Skin and Blood Diseases
Life Study.

Life Study.
If you have Eczema, Psoriasis, Salt
Rheum Ulcers. Scrofula, etc, get rid
of them at once. Don't trifie with
yourself by using every patent lotion
and ointment that comes under your
notice, and that at best gives you only
temporary relief. Take DR.. Taylor's
Remedy. He made a life study of
these diseases, and his formula is the
only treatment that will eliminate the
poison from the blood and effect per-
manent cure If you have any of these
diseases, depend upon it they are
either inherent or caused by uric acid
or other poisons lurking in the sys-
TEN. External applications alone seam
up the pores of the skin and force the
disease back into the blood, to re-
assert itself ass5oon as the outward
applications cease. Permanent relief
can be obtained only by forcing the
poison out of the blood. leaving ii pure
and limpid as nature intended it should
be. Send TO our Office, 1880 Arch

WILD WEST DRAWS A BIG crown
said to BE Largest Ever Attending
show In RIuffa.

Said to BE Largest Ever Attending
show In Bluffs,
1t is doubtful if any circus ever attracted
as big a crowd In Council Bluffs as did
the combined Buffalo Bilrs wild West and
Pawnee Bilrs Far East shows yesterday.
Although announcement had been made
that there would be no street parade the
streets were thronged early by people,
young and old. a large proportion Of whom
were from the country and surrounding
A conservative estimate places the
attendance afternoon and evening at $4,000,
The consenus of opinion was that it was
the best show Colonel w. +. Cody ever
headed and many we're heard to compare
it with the wild west show of a few years
ago when It lacked the features now pre-
scented by Pawnee Bills Far East attrac-
tions.
Several who attended the show yesterday
afternoon remembered the time when a
little over a quarter Of a century age
Colonel Cody first visited Council Bluffs
with what he then termed his wild West
Show" 1t at that time, as many remem-
Der, was a small affair compared to the
immense attraction he now offers,
All the different features were given with
a degree of vim and enthusiasm thai
elected applause from all present.
The riding Of bucking bronchos is a fea-
ture which will never tire even t..c most
sophisticated crowds, and the old Dead
wood stage coach was still with the show.
One of the improvements since the combin-
ation OF the Two Bills last season is tbs
lighting effect at night time. and also the
comfortable seating space for even those
who do not indulge in the grand stand
seats.
Buffalo Bill, debonair as ever, with hi.
long white hair, made the same speech
with the Old-time grace. Many old friends
were in the audience and they gave the ole
scout a reception which he will not soor
forget.
