When the Circus Comes to
Town.

Circus day is fast approaching and
the small boy is on his best behavior.
II it were not for the fact that his mother
is wise to his methods his angelic good
ness would give her some alarm she
knows that be is working to see "thst
circus" For that matter mother wants
to see it also. Father Is con -oommittal
but II IS the one best bet that he will be
there il it is for no other reason than to
take the boy. You see he has not for

Sparks World Famous Shows will be
| here Friday, September 18th, and will
i, then unfold its myrisds Of wonders
gathered from all portions Of the uni
verse. The principal query at present
is, "Are you going to the circusS" The
answers give rise to the belief that show
day will see the greatest outpouring Of
people from all parts Of the county this
city has ever seen. There is every rea-
son to expect this, The promises held
forth are simply wonderful, and they
come from an institution which in over
a quarter Of century has never broken
faith with the public or advertised things
1t did not have,
There is undoubted truth in the state
ment that the Sparks Shows has reached
in all its departments the highest per-
ieetioa of excellence. 1t has ransacked
Europe in its search for wonderful acts
and feats. The performance is one oi
infinite variety, containing many acts,
the mere description Of which pales be-
fore the acts themselves.
Every regard is held for the comfort
of the people on the show grounds. The
I tents are all new and OF the finest water
proof canvas. A magic touch seems to
have been placed over the entire circus
city, and the parade to be given at l.
O'Clock noon, will furnish a glorious pre-
lude to the circus itself, for it will dis
play thousand wonders, Magnihcent
chariots and floats win be drawn by
handsome horses, beautiful open dens
showing their ierocious inmates will be
In evidence, sRd there will be many
comical features to make the youngsters
shout with glee. Thousands Of visitors
are expected to come from the surround
ing country to see the parade and take
in the exhibitions, and 1t will no doubt
be big day for Doniphan.

before the bill was framed, which
is twice the length of time given
to the consideration Of the woolen
schedule Of the Payne Aldrich
bill, and which document the
president readily signed, and he
sides, some Of the members Of the
majority side of the ways and
means committee had been for
several years in preceding con-
crosses members Of the same
committee and had heard and
taken a hand in the discussions
when the Mills bill, the Mckinley
bill, the Wilson bill, the Dingley

Notice to My Customers.

In July last | purchased by sample,
from vehicle manufacturing concern
In st. Louis, a carload Of buggies.
Many Of my customers had wanted bug
gies that could be purchased for a less
price than those of the line have been
handling, but wanted good vehicle.
These goods were represented to me to
be as substantial as the line have car
ried and the price was such that could
sell them for less and give the customer
good, servioable vehicle. They were
represented to me as st. Louis made
vehicles. Having to urge the shipment
OF the goods learned that they were
Cincinnati made goods, and would come
freighted from st. Louis only. That
made me suspicious. The car arrived
and had only taken out three of the
vehicles when found that the goods
were not what wanted nor what | had
ordered, as not number compared with
the invoice number. Iretused to ac-
cept the shipment, and notified the CON-
pany. They sent man here, not the
one gave the order too, and still re.
fused the goods, for the reason that
could not offer such stuff to my trade
and keep my reputation as an honest
dealer in reputable goods, The man
bought from finally came and he urged
me to take the vehicles, and Offered
them at mnch lower price than the,
were billed to me. refused them, ant
all the offers he made. To show tn,
kind OF stuff they are made of, one o
the vehicles was broken in the crate il
which it was shipped, and no substsn

hicles were later sold to another firm

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

81 can't tell in words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for it
cured my baby of itching, torturing
eczema. 1t first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on her head. / used every
thing imaginable and had one doc
tors bill after another, but nothing
cured it. Then the eczema broke out
SO badly behind her ear that | really
thought her ear would come off. For
months l doctored it but to no avail.
Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. l had to
keep her in a dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so l
stopped him coming.
For about two weeks | had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then l got box Of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was marked improvement. In
all l used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not a
scar on her. 1 can not praise Cuti-
cura enough, I can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without a sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, l have a we'll child" (Sign-

within the past few months the public at large
did not know of the whereab bouts of the Wash

the state department and the library of con-

Some months ago it suddenly came 10 the
ears of these interested parties that the will
long known to be in a poor state of Dreserva
uon-was in imminent danger of going utterly
to ruin. Obviously quick action and heroic
measures were necessary and thereupon there
was inaugurated that project which has lately
witnessed the complete restoration of the will

greatest experts in the country in this highly

papers of historical value that are in his keen

a trophy as the will of Washington should
have been allowed to fall into decay. The ex-
planation is found in the fact above noted
that the Will is not and never has been In the
possession of the federal government. II was
