Stsek Show Expensive

The Big annual Stock Show at Den
yer has not been financial success.
The annual cost of this exposition has
grown to an amount in excess of $780,
900 and the net result of the shows
that have been held IL deficit OF over
| $4,000 There was serious talk this
year of cutting out the extra depart
ments and reducing the show to a
strictly stock show. The business in
terests of Denver protested and agreed
to raise guarantee fund to meet the
annual deficit II the show association
would continue the show upon the
broad basis of mid winter fair. The
show association has agreed to try it
out this year and the next show in
January is to be made bigger and bet
ter than ever If possible. The dates
fixed for the next show are January 49,
%. and arrangements are being made
with the railroads for low rates from
all sections of the country. Denver
business men say that the annual
stock show is bigger and more valu-
able than any national convention that
comes to that city and they have de-
termined to get squarely behind the
annual show and assist in making it
u big success.
"The annual stock show is building
up an industry in this state that means
prosperity to ALL" said President
Thomas B. Stearns Of the Denver Cham
ber of Commerce. 1.-THE business men
of Denver are just commencing to fully
understand the importance of this an
nual event and from now on we will be
squarely behind this exposition and
will do what ever is necessary to make
, 1t success. We want the stOckmen
and farmers. of the whole West to
know that Denver is interested in their
prosperity and we believe this annual
show has an educational and business
value that is exceedingly important to
the success of agriculture In the Rocky
Mountain States"

Does Not Look Good

George Carlson can do the state of
Colorado great favor If he will take
a look at the membership OF the
boards and bureaus in the state and
notice the proportion of those mem
berships held in Denver. There are
1872 members of boards and bureaus
in the state of which number 123
live in the city of Denver, and So out
side. 1t occurs to us that this is just
q little too much favoritism toward
Denver Some of the rest of the state
enjoy the distinction of having citi-
zens capable of serving on boards and
bureaus. We might call Mr. Carl
sons attention to the fact that the
recent Democratic ticket ccontained
seven candidates from the city of

There Is obvious need Of or

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rumblin g
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the infamma alton can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which lie nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces

Novelty in the Attractions.

The Big Fair at Middlebury will put
on some fine material in the free at
fractions this year, which is the 10th
anniversary of the society. One of the
best acts seen anywhere in recent years
is the big Wild West show, Cheyenne
Days" an act that has met with great
success at the famous Hippodrome in
New York city. This show is positively
the best thing in its class in this coun-
try today. A full score of people, with
COW boys and girls, real live Indians
and a rousng good band, will show the
crowds how things used to go in the
wild and woody West. Rough riding ex-
traordinary and cowboy stunts which
cannot be excelled are part of the free
attractions for each day of the fair
"Bensley, the Man with the the Bar
rel and the Wheel" puts up an origi-
nal act which has won great success for
himself in this and other countries. He
performs on the big stage in front Of
the grand stand each day. The Bragaar
Brothers, burlesquers of European
fame, happily were to be found this sid e
of the water when the last unpleasant
ness broke out, will be most pleased to
meet and greet you at the Big Fair.
For fast and funny work in the air and
on the ground this comical pair Of
artists are hard to beat. The Renedet-
toes, another famous team, who put up
the best revolving ladder in America,
are booked, and this feature of the fun
program promises to be a winner
At Middlebury for the first time a

midway. This is new thing and not
seen before by many. 1t is a thrilling
and spectacular act, involving some
danger, and will be drawing card.
Karl Forsell, the noted cornet soloist,

ca Oh day of the fair. Mr.. Forsell has
been here before, and his brilliant work
is appreciated. He will also appear at
the band festivals on Wednesday and

T H E ST ALLION
h" SCOTLAND"

How much the name has to do with
it we cannot say, but certainly, go where
you will, no stallion can be found with
the magnificent contour of form, free
and easy action when called upon, or
fine trotting gait, if urged, equal to the
stallion of above name, bred and owned
by Mr.. Battell of Middlebury.
Mr.. Battell keeps here four stations,
all Of them valuable and all young; but
none of them equal to the one first
mentioned which, so far as we know,
every one who has seen, without hest
tation, declares to be the handsomest
horse in the World. No exceptions
are admitted.
But perhaps, better than this is the
fact that his first colts, only two years
of age, and of which there are but
three, excel equally in their ability to
trot.
Scotland has a full brother of about
the same size that perhaps may equal
Scotland's gait, but cannot surpass that
of his colts.
