SELLS-FLOTO
CIRCUS HERE
FRIDAY, MAY 81

The first really big circus to arrive
here this season will be the great
Sells-Floto Consolidated Show, which
is booked to appear in this city on
Friday, May 81.
For many years now this popular
priced attraction has been coming
back greatly enlarged in every way,
and positively giving more for the
money than any kindred attraction
touring the country. This season the
management announces that they
have added many novel and special
features to those which are consid-
cred part and parcel Of the conyen-
t.onal circus. Amongst these are sew
eral European novelties which have
never before been seen in this coun-
try, the wonder Of It all being how
the sells-Floto people can give such
a marvellous performance at such a
small price,
That they are able to do so, how
ever is proven by the fact that for
three years now they have cut the
time honored price in half and made
money by doing 50, all Of which goes
to show that even in the circus world,
and where daily expenses run up
into the thousands, the theory Of pop
ular prices is practical.
Two performances will be given
here on the day the circus arrives.
The grand street parade will, as
usual, be a spectacle OF more than

He MARRIED
ON REACHING
HIS MAJORITY

A marriage took place in Vancouv-
er, Wash, May "a, 1912, in which two
people well-known in Salem were the
principal factors. Clarence G .Hickox,
member of the junior law class of
Willamette University and one of the
experts working on the county's books,
was married on that occasion to Miss
Ethel Williamson, of Portland, but for
merly Of Salem, where she first met
Mr. Hickox about year and a half
ago, at the home of John Nusbaum, a
neighbor to the Hickox family, in
North Salem. The acquaintance thus
formed soon ripened into love. Young
Mr. Hickox signified to his father
many times his desire to marry the
young lady, who, on account Of the
fact that Clarence was the baby, OBJ
jected, but when he attained his ma
jority, May 20, he left the parental
home for a trip to Portland, saying as
he left: when you see me again you
must not be surprised If am mar
ried." He made this promise good
by marrying the lady on Friday Of
last week, Rev. Mr.. Poole, of Van
couver, performing the ceremony.
Mr. Hickox returned to Salem Sun
day, leaving his bride in Portland for
a few weeks, after which they will
take up their residence in Salem.

ROCKEFELLER
MUST APPEAR
AS A WITNESS
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.I

New York, May 2S.-John D. Rookie
feller appeared here this afternoon at
2:40 o'clock at the hearing of the ac-
tion by H. Clay Pierce and his asso-
ciates to prevent the Standard Oil
company getting control of the Wat
ers-Pierce Oil company of st. Louis.
Rockefeller will be examined by
Samuel Untermyer, representing the
Waters-Pierce company, in an at
tempt to show that the dissolution Of
the Standard Oil company was not
bona fide, and that the same interests
now dominate the Standard and its
affiliated companies as when the
United States supreme court ordered
its dissolution.
Rockefeller took the stand at 3
o'clock. The hearing was held be-
fore Commissioner Jacobs. Answer
ing Untermyer's questions, the oil
king said he had signed proxies for
the annual meeting of the Waters
Pierce Oil company without even ask
ing what they were for, saying that
he takes all for granted when papers
are brought to him for signature, and
that his signature is merely a matter
Of routine.
Rockefeller declared he did not
know the names of those to whom the
proxies were assigned and did not
know at that time that there was a
contest among certain interests for
control of the Waters-Pierce COM
pany He said his Office men are old
and trusted employees, and that he
relies upon them.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 90 Duke
Kahanamoku, the Hawaiian swimmer,
who is training for place on the olym-
pic team under the direction of George
Kistler, the coach of the University of
Pennsylvania swimming team, gave an
other wonderful exhibition in the tank
at Weightman Hall yesterday.
The Hawaiian swimmer had already
demonstrated his ability by defeating
Shryock, the intercollegiate champion,
in the 100-yard swim, and yesterday
took ON Sanville, another of Coach
Kistler's stars. After conceding a
handicap of secs. to the Red and
Blue swimmer, he easily romped home
the winner in the ord-breaking time
of 81 sec. fiat. This is 2-5 of second
faster than his time against Shryock
on Monday and 1-5 SECS better than
the intercollegiate record.

the matter out.

will pass congress-" said Mr.. Bishop
yesterday. 81 am of the opinion that
the report of the tariff board will set.
tie the matter. Sugar is suffering, and
unjustly, the world over, as result
of the American trust investigations
and reports.'
1t appears from general discussion in
the local stock market that stocks are
| likely to continue more or less nervous
for months yet, for there will for 9
long time be some element of doubt
in the Washington situation. As one
broker put it, there seems hardly any
chance that the free sugar bill will pass
the senate and still less chance thai
Taft would sign it if it did pass, Of
that it could be made law over hi

open, there will be an uneasy market

UNION NAN
SELECTED FOR CANTON
Thomas Giffen to Be HonoIulu's
Special Missionary in
China.

Central Union Church is bringing to
a focus its plan for a missionary in
China. After the Laymen's Movement
the laymen Of the church decided to
raise in addition to the funds already
being raised in the church $4,000 for
the support of a missionary in China
who will be regarded as the special
missionary of Central Union Church.
For some little time the missionary
committee-F. ]. Lowrey, chairman; II.
G. Dillingham;, Paul Super, A. H. Tarle-
ton and A. F. Griffiths-with the min.
listers of the church have been working
on this subject. Through the American
Board they have secured an option on
the services of Thomas Giffen who has
exceptional qualifications for the work.
Mr.. Giffen has for number of years
been in educational work in China. He
became so much interested in the edu-
cational and religious problems of the
great empire that he went on to a
theological school to prepare himself
for further missionary work among the
Chinese. With this practical experience
in China and with the subsequent
theological training and with the per
sonal qualifications which are reported
to be of an unusual order, he has rare
sifitness for this work.
Goes to Canton.
Because of the disturbed conditions
in North China and because of the plan
of the American board to concentrate
their work for the present in the south
Mr.. Giffen will be sent to the Cantor
Mission. This connection of Hawai-
with South China has all the greater
significance from the fact that Doctor
Sun Vat Sen was baptized in this field
The men of the church have pledged
$4,000 for the support of this mission
airy. Last year the church raised il
addition $500 for foreign mission
work. AS this $4,000 is to be raised
entirely independent of and in add
tion to the regular missionary contribu
tions special effort will be made b,
the committee to enlist the interest i
this special missionary of men of tn
/. church who have hitherto made n

TO CALL
At PEARL HARBOR

General Macomb, department com
mander, believes that Pearl Harbor will
be designated as the port of call for
army transports with supplies for Scho-
field Barracks. The general states that
as Schofield Barracks has been selected
as the most important post in the Ha-
waiian Islands, and that it is to be
developed to accommodate six OF seven
thousand troops, the departments in
terests will be served best by having
supplies for the post delivered at Pearl
Harbor and transhipped to cars of the
Oahu Railway company and taken di-
rect to Leilehua. He says the depart
ment has not yet decided the matter.
The war department win make no use
of the naval wharves at Pearl Harbor,
but will construct the necessary land
ing facilities on the channel side of the
military reservation, or, if necessary,
condemn additional land adjoining the
naval reservation. Between the naval
and army reservations the Bishop Els.
tate controls valuable channel frontage,
and it is understood that this is under
the eye of the army engineers for de-
velopment for transport purposes. Wa
tertOwn, which has been used as base
by the Hawaiian dredging company, is
looked upon as an admirable site for a
wharf, particularly as 1t is considerably
of the direct line of the channel.

LOAN FUND BOARD
EXPECTING A SCRAP
Award of Belt Road Contract
May Start Lively Times on
Big Island.

There was some lively working of
the wireless over the proposed award
by the Hawaii county loan fund COM
mission of Contract No. /, of the Ha-
wall belt road, as reported in The Ad-
vertiser yesterday. 1t is predicted that
there will be warm discussion in Hilo
before the award is made in formal
meeting. A meeting of the loan fund
commission has been set for a week
from today, in Hilo, when it is ex-
pected that the action as agreed upon
in caucus here will be taken.
Superintendent Campbell seemed
very 10th to discuss the matter yes
terday. He said he would probably go
to Hilo for the meeting. AS for the
alleged expensiveness of the, road, he
said that, the character of the country
was such that serviceable road could
not be made for $4,000 per mile. "The
drainage difficulties are very great, -
he said, "and it is no use putting in a
cheap road in this district. The specif.
cations prepared by Mr.. Bishop are for
a road which is expected to last"
There is the sum of 100000 to be
spent ON the belt road of Hawaii
county, and this No. contract is the
beginning of the actual work. Bishop
it is stated, has finished all the
preliminary surveying and planning OF
roads, and as soon as maps are com.
pleted, win be ready to call for bids on
a long list of very big contracts. Al
the start, comes tug of war with the
county supervisors which may threaten
Bishops job, for it was only after {
long fight that the Hawaii county
supervisors were induced to appoint {
county engineer at all.
The 100000 is in the hands of tn,
loan fund commission, but the super
visors evidently mean to try to hav,
their say about it.

A CHECK TO
RHEUMATISM
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Build Up
the Blood and Overcome
the Rheumatic Poisons.

Rheumatism defies any treatment
that does not build up and purify
the blood. The poisons of rheumatism
are in the blood and it is only through
the blood that the disease can be fought
successfully.
Unless the blood is weak and impure,
rheumatism cannot get a foothold.
When it does the thin and impure
blood is not strong enough to overcome
the poisons alone. Unjust bestrength-
ened and purified. DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are the best blood
building medicine you can take. They
make new blood with every dose and
promptly check further progress OF the
disease. They make the blood so pure
and strong that not the least trace of
rheumatism remains.
Mr.. A. Hamann, a farmer on r. f.
ID. No. 2, Eldridge, Iowa, says:
81 used DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People for indigestion and rheu-
matism from which | suffered for over
ak years. AS these attacks came on
every spring, / think they We're caused
by impure blood. The rheumatism
was always more severe in my ankles
and knees and especially in my arms,
hdh DCCh win Vi WIN
ing hard. The pains were so severe
that could hardly sleep at night. 1
used liniments of many kinds, but they
didn't do more than drive the pain to
some other part of the body and i did
not get any relief from the doctor 4
medicine.
''When l read about DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People in our weekly
paper | made up my mind to try q
medicine that had actually cured some
one else. A few boxes cured me and ]
think 80 much OF the pills that keeI
them in the house 10 use as tonic. My
wife finds them strengthening and we
think the pills are the best medicine fol
the blood"
DIR. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People are the blood's greatest aid in
overcoming rheumatism, headaches
an@mia, chlorosis, and after-etfects o
the grip and fevers.
A valuable booklet, Diseases of tn
Blood" will be sent upon request.
