NOT LONG TO WATT.
Circus Day Not Far of and The Kids
arc Planning IL Big Holiday.

On Friday, October %, Sparks
World Famous Shows will hold forth
in this city for a matinee and night
exhibition, and the rare, unique and
wonderful things that have been
promised on paper will become
reality.
The airy riders who, in diaphanous
skirts have been pirouctting on the
expansive backs of beautiful and
speedy circus horses Con the bill
boards) will be seen in all the gor-
geousness Of tulle and seductive
smile; the elephant will copy their
pictured acts of comedy and go
them one better; the contortiOnist
will proceed to disintangle himself
from the knots he tied in his re-
spOnsive body last year; the acrobatic
families will turn dizzy somersaults
and the clowns will work off their la
test comedy stunts to the great de-
light of the crowds present-we all
like the clowns.
There is nothing on earth like the
| circus. 1t is the peoples show par
excellence. 1t is the one great Amer
ican amusement that appeals to all
the people. The expert knows what
is coming every minute of the show
but he wouldn't have it changed for
worlds. The very conventionalsm of
most Of the performance is what
makes it SO delightful.
The merit in a big circus like the
Sparks shows is in the fact that ev-
erything in the show is the very best
Of it's kind. There must inevitably
be riding acts, but the riders are the
leaders Of their profession. There
must be acrObats, but the acrObatio
artists and aerialists are gathered
from the wide world, and are the
best that money can procure.
1t is this superiority in the qualitS
of the performers that makes the
Sparks shows such a welcome visitor

mission. .)-Constitutio mutineers
at Santa ROsalie have shot Maj.
Aguayo, the military commander
there, looted the custom house, seized
the Mexican steamer Korrigan III

This is the news sent by wireless
to Rear Admiral Howard, command

Santa Rosalia as soon as he heard
there had been disorder.
Santa Rosalia is the headquarters of
an important French copper mining
concession. The troops mutinied
Tuesday night and tried to capture
the steamer which Is owned by Bole-
ri company (French), but which flies
the Mexican flag. The resident di-
rector turned it over without resist
ance. All the troops except rs en-
barked and put to sea, presumably
bound for Guaymas.
Many persons were placed under ar
rest during the riOting, including the
German consular agert, Mexican
who was released after paying 1000
pesos ransom.
Conditions at Acapulco have grown
so bad that Red Cross ship is needed
urgently. The troops continue pill
Laying. Supplies are scarce and dear
and there is much suffering. Other
west coast ports are quiet.
