All Kinds of Thrills
 and Sensations at Fair

One of the greatest free attra- ctions ever shown in Arizona, has been booked for this years Fair, in the form of a high-wire per formance by Granda and Fedora, known as the human elephant. !" They do a combined high-wire feature act, that been the sensa- ton alIover the Eastern Circuits.
 On a wire, sixty feet above ground. they initiate a huge baby elephant, and walk a tight wire with absolutely no parasols, ba- lanclng rods, or any of the com mongdevices used to maintain equilibrium on the high wire. This is a ''hair raiser" in high wire performances, and the most thrilling daredevil feat ever at tempted, as the lives of this in- trepid pair of performers depend solely upon their ability to main tain their balance while walking a hundred feet of tight wire, en- cased in the cumbersome garb of an imitation elephant.
 Unlike most of these dangerous performances. this act is not safe guarded by life nets or similar divices or break the fall. in case they should lose their equilibrium
 One of the thrilIers provided for Thursday afternoon. by the Fair Commission, will be a match race between the automobile and the aeroplane. Mickey Mcclure. who is engaged for the entire week. will race his speedy aire- raft around the mile track Thurs day afternoon in competition to Barney Oldfield,' the king of the automobile game. This is a dan gerous, as well as interesting race, especially dangerous to the driver of the aeroplane, as safety in an aircraft, strange as it may seem, requires considerable heighth, especially where thevare driving at great speed.
 If anything should go wrong with the engine and it should stop for second, travelling so near to the ground. the machine and driver would instantly crash to the ground.
 Mickey Mcclure says he always feels safer when he is hie h in the air, for then, if anything should happen to the engine, he knows that he can gracefully glide and sworve back to terra firma, and make an easy landing.

As Napoleon was one day pass ing in review of some of his troops he came in front of an old and faithful officer, who, perhaps from want of brilliancy on the mans part, had never been advanced be- yond the grade of captain, though he was well enough known to the emperor. The emperor was passing at slow trot. As he came directly in front of the old captain the off cer saluted and said loudly, but without any apparent movement of the muscles of the face:
 "Fifteen campaigns, private, cap tainw
 And the emperor, without turn ing his head or slackening his pace, said:
 "Colonel, brigadier, baronP"
 Then he was gone. There had, indeed, been no time for a word more than had been passed, but these had suficed for the captain to communicate a long story and a reproachful complaint and for the emperor to set matters right with a military and social promotion

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the Instructions
of poisonous fecal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption by the blood.
This done, the food is allowed free pas
sage from the stomach, fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear.

leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many Of his friends Of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment and so sue
