MAC" SEES
OLD Bluffs
BIG SHOW
Reports Things Out There AS He
Saw Them, Without Any of the
Press Agents Frills

In the absence of Editor Rath-
bun, who is taking the baths at
Idaho Springs, and of the book
keeper and the foreman, who are
taking vacations. the Tribune found
it necessary on Tuesday to impress
Mac, the machine man, into the
service to report Buffalo Bills show.
Here is the story he brought in. 1t
probably contains more truth than
the one Rathy would have written:
Most everybody in the city and
country around paid their respects
to Col. Cody yesterday in the form
of laying down cash for ticket to
the circus. The afternoon perform
ance was q good one. lasting over
two hours. Most OF the acts were
up to the standard. The military
drills on horseback were little on.
The battle between tn pale faces
and red skins was just as exciting
to the small boy as ever The old
time act of Buffalo Bill shooting
balls thrown in the air was just as
good as ever. although the old scout
is getting pretty we'll along in years.
His farewell as he left the arena
drew tremendous applause, showing
that he has great hold on the peo-
pie OF the west, although in reality
he is somewhat of a joke.
The evening performance was cut
down to bargain sale size. the whole
show taking only little over an
hour. AS ii was rather chilly peo-
pie took the cut in entertainment
good natured and were satisfied to
get under the warm covers early.
The usual graft of having two
ticket wagons with the same tickets,
the first one Charging rs cents and
the other so cents was in evidence.
The regular number of innocents
were trxen in.
The side shows were very tame.
Zip, the man-eating African that
was captured and educated into a
resemblance of a human being by
party of noted professors, looked
like any other down south niger
who was stunted in growth. His
hairy body would have passed un-
noticed except for some threadbare
places where cream colored union
suit showed. The man dressed like
a woman had rather good sale of
pictures of himself with the young
fellows. The "hootchie koothcie"
show was on the bum. Yesterday
was pay day and the leading lady
drew her check and resigned. She
seemed to be popular with the entire
circus outfit as during the tearing
down act after the show everybody
stopped long enough to give her a
hand shake.
The ice cream and lemonade man
was heavy loser on the Greeley stop.
He had on heavy coat at the even
ing performance which seemed to
discourage his patrons.

LAST STORIES
FOR LITTLE
FOLKS FRIDAY
Miss Brake Will Meet KidIets and
Their Mothers in the Park on
Friday at 4 O'Clock

The last of the Tribune stories
for children in the park will be told
Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
For q month past these have been
a regular weekly pleasure for
nearly a hundred children and their
mothers. Miss Jane Brake, who is
to start the down town kindergarten
in September, will entertain the
little folks again, after which, be-
cause of probable weather condi-
tions and the usual hustle attend
ant upon the beginning of school,
the stories will be dropped for few
weeks, later to be taken up by stu
dents from the normal kindergarten
in the high school auditorium.
Miss Brake has secured room.
in the new Baptist church building
and on September 12 will open a
kindergarten class down town. The
location is admirable for the pur-
pose and will prove a convenience
to the large number of little folks,
who, for want of ample room at the
Normal school kindergarten, have
to stay at home.
The stories for Friday are as
follows:

COLORADO LEADS STATES IN
CROP AVERAGE ACCORDING
TO GOVERNMENT REPORT

Late rains so improved crop con-
ditions in Colorado that the aver
age condition of all crops combined
in the state on August 1, according
to figures just made public by the
United States department OF agri-
culture, was 90.3 per cent of the
average for recent years on the
same date.
Colorado's average OF 9O.3 COM
pares with 81 in Illinois, &c in Min
nesota, rs in Iowa, 73 in Missouri,
so in South Dakota. 50 in Nebraska,
90 in Kansas and "a IN Oklahoma.
AS result of the poor crops in
other states. prices of Colorado
farm products will be high, and Of
RADIO crops, whose value last year
was $3S.035,S55, will this year be
worth to the farmers of the state at
least $49,343, OCEAN increase of
so per cent in the year.
In numerous instances the yield
per acre of Colorado crops is this
year greater than it was last year,
or for several years before; and
there has been marked increase in
the year in the cultivated acreage in
the state.
While the country generally has
been stricken by drought, the Unit
ed States Crop Reporter, just out,
shows that the precipitation over
Colorado, as a whole, from January
/ to August l, was 95 per cent OF
the normal.
AS one result. the yield of winter
wheat in Colorado this year-eigh-
teen bushels to the acre-is 20 per
cent greater than the yield for the
entire country. and is surpassed in
only eight states. Kansas is the
principal winter wheat state, and its
yield is only los bushels. against
Colorados u.s. The quality of Colo
radios winter wheat is this year 81.
against 90 last year.

Chicago. The wedding was solem-
ni2ea Tuesday in Trinidad at the

mother she has spent the summer
in Colorado and was persuaded to

instead OF next June. The date of

SEE The SHOW

LaSalle, A 6. 23.-The fact that
Print Dilworth had rather a wild
west show of his own by participant
png in two runaways Tuesday morn
ing while preparing to come to
Greeley for the day did not keep
him and his family from carrying
out their plans of seeing Buffalo
Bill and his show. Mr.. Dilworth is
a tenant on the Knott ranch near
IaSalle and had two runaways in
which the vehicles were destroyed
while getting ready to come to town.
In the last wreck the team was
badly cut in a wire fence and Mr..
Dilworth was bruised but another
fresh start was made and this time
the trip was made in safety.

A BRAClNG TONIC
How to Knock Out Spring Fever with
A Reliable Spring Tonic.

Spring fever is nothing in the world
but a run down stomach overworked
with an excess of meats, canned goods
and other food eaten freely in cold
weather When your stomach is not
working right neither are you.
So, to get yourself in shape you
must give your stomach the tonic it
needs. Give your stomach a simple
remedy that will set it to working
right. and at the same time brace up
your entire system.
Here is a receipt for a home prepar-
ed stomach tonic that will do the work
in a fifty:
Logos Stomach Tonic, one so cent
bottle e OF; port wine, enough to
make one pint. That's all there is to
it-simple but effective.
You can find no tonic that is easier
to take or is more acceptable to your
system than LOGOS Stomach Tonic.
Two teaspoonfuls after meals do the
business. Don't delay, but prepare a
supply-at once.
Logos Stomach Tonic Extract can be
obtained at any first class druggists
for so cents for two ounces.

Of the best known travelling men in

In speaking of the new organization
last evening DIR. Davis stated that the
travelling statesmen are particularly
qualified to boost the movement for
good roads, as they are constantly
coming in contact with merchants and
manufacturers, the farmer and all
classes of people. He thinks the
statement of the salesman to a mer.
chant that another town is forging
ahead because it has good roads lead
ing to it and that the improvement of
roads leading to the merchants town
would be of vast benefit in business
way would have a positive effect in
favor of the good roads movement. He
declares the salesman is in favor OF
improved roads, because better roads
would mean large saving of time and
greatly increased business by reason
OF the fact that more territory could
be covered in a given time.
Among the results Mr.. Davis hopes
to attain through this organization is
the improvement of the National road
by brick paving from Cumberland
Md. to st. Louis, Mo-, and the estab
lisnment of a transcontinental road.
