THE CIRCUS.
A Record Breaking Attendance
A Fairly Good Show.

The circus has come and gone.
Robinson's circus has been coming to
Kingstree for half a century and
doubtless the show is bigger and
better than ever before. At any
rate, it brought more people to
Kingstree probably than were ever
seen here on any previous occasion,
the crowd on the street being esti-
mated all the way from 5000 to
10000 people probably 1000 would
BE- nearest the mark. To ascertain
accurately the size of the body of
spectators underneath the big top
is of course matter of impossible
ty, but if the data given us by TIE
press agent along with the show be
reliable there were seated under the
canvas on Saturday, October 22, ap-
proximately 4,5O0 men, women and
children. The big tent seats 5,lOO
people and there were not many
more than 500 vacant places.
The menagerie attached to the
show was not large, but the animals
were fairly good specimens and we'll
kempt. The herd of six performing
elephants was we'll worth seeing.
In the four rings there was al
ways something doing and the
chief source of complaint was the
lack of one or two more sets of eyes
tnan the normal person possesses.
Tne novelty act CT the Lowandas,
Brazilian equestrians who do their
stunts in a tally-ho, excited consider
a ole interest, as did the dive-to-
death" climactic' feat of Linger.
But the strongest feature of the
show is the strong man (no pun in
tended)Warren L Travis. His feat of
lifting IA men standing massed on a
platform is indicative of almost su-
per-human powers.
There were number of funny
clowns and their antics pleased ev-
cry one.
One thing about the Robinson
circus that is highly commendable is
the absolute freedom from the gam
bling, swindling and rowdyism that
are too often associated with these
travelling shows. If anything of the
kind went on here we failed to hear
of it. The vast crowd, too, seemed
quiet and orderly, all out for good
time, and we believe they had it.
Robinson's circus will always be
welcome in Williamsburg as long as
it lives up to its present standard.

B, F, JONES
FILES HIS
DECLARATION
WILL BE CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE
IN SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT
HIS OPPONENT BEING J. w.
HAMILTON, A DEMOCRAT.

B. f. Jones, register Of the United
States Land Office, to which office
he was appointed last Spring, has
declared his intentions as a candi-
date for circuit Judge in the second
judicial district, upon the Republican
ticket. and will resign his position in
the federal service before the cam
paign opens. His declaration was
filed with the secretary of state this
morning.
The second district is composed of
Douglas, Benson, Lane and Lincoln
counties and the presiding judges Of
that district now are j. w. Hamil-
ton and L. T. Harris both of whom
are candidates for reelection. Judge
Hamilton is a Democrat and Judge
Harris is a Republican. There are
two Judges to nominate and, since
it is practically certain that Jones
will receive the Republican nomina-
ton at the primaries without opposi-
tion he will have to make his cam
paign against Judge Hamilton, the
Democratic candidate, at the general
election.
Mr.. Jones has been member Of
the state legislature from Polk and
Lincoln counties, where he fathered
through some beneficial legislation
notably the free locks on the Will
lamette river bill and railroad regu-
lation legislation-has been a resi-
dent Of Oregon for 32 years and is
very prominent in public life as a
politician and an attorney and will
make gallant fight for the bench in
the second district.
Emmit Drake, of Portland, also
filed his declaration as candidate as
senator for Multnomah county, with
the secretary of state this morning.
He will run on the Republican ticket.

The opening of new hotels, ROOM

ing the past year will relieve the
congestion of lodging Accommodations
which has been experienced during
the state fair in years past and the
Board of Trade will probably not be
called upon to list rooms in private
dwellings to the extent that has been
the custom and necessity in the past
However IL such a conditions
should arise that the offices of the
Board of Trade are again required
to assist in supplying sleeping ac-
comodations for state fair visitors
during fair week, the secretary OF
the Board of Trade will receive reg
istrations of rooms in private fami-
lies, providing the rooms are turned
in in writing or in person, but no
registrations will be made upon tel
ephonic information as this system
caused no end of trouble and dis
last year and the year
before. In any event the services OF
the Board of Trade will be extended
to meet any emergency that may
arise and an abundance of accomo-
dations for visitors will be assured.
