BIG BARNES CIRCUS COMING.
Six Hundred Educated Animals! Pro.
gram of Instructive, Thrilling Acts,
all Done by Animals.

THE AL G. BARNES big three-ring
circus will exhibit in Colville on Mon
day. July 10, giving performances at
2 and 8 p. m.
Much can be claimed for the origin
ality of this big circus. There Is all
the pomp and splendor of the circuses
we have known in the past. All the
glittering tinsel, sawdust rings. inspir-
ing music and grand entrance of state
Iy horses, ponies, elephants, performers
and clowns. Peanut and pink lemon
ade vendors cry their wares and add to
the general good spirit: yet, when the
performance starts, one instantly rec
ognizes a wide departure from the con-
ventional, stereotyped routine which
has prevailed since the earliest days of
tented entertainment.
Instead of the usual, one sees the
very unusual in the Barnes program.
The principal actI are done by wild and
domestic animals In two rings and
big steel-barred arena. These animal
actors number 500 and are trained to
an amazing degree of proficiency. Such
vim and dash do they put into their
work that not a dull moment Is expert
enced from the grand cavalcade entry
until the final group of man-eating
lions are driven to their cages.
There are acrobats, jugglers. aerial
performers, highdivers, bareback rid
ers, and all other forms of circus en-
tertainment, but, instead of people APP
pearing in the acts, wild and domestic
animals take their places. Lions,
leopards. pumas and bears ride gallop-
ing horses; sea lions juggle balls and
other articles, dogs and monkeys jump
from the top of the tent into nets;
elephants act as clowns and do many
other comical things; high school horses
and beautiful ponies appear in brill
liant dances and military drills; In fact.
almost every species Of animal is shown
as an actor.
Twenty-four, man-eating African
lions are introduced in one act, the
most sensational wild animal act ever
shown. Sixty tigers, leopards, pumas,
jaguars and bears are presented by a
coterie OF young women trainers.

Colville s first market day and
free public auction was held last
Saturday. Many of the stores
were specially prepared for the
day by tempting window displays
Of bargains, and the attendance
from the surrounding country was
fair. Auctioneers VIM. Buckley
and M. A. Daggy sold about $500
worth of goods in the afternoon,
the list of offerings comprising
livestock, household goods, ma
chinery, tools, vehicles, and a
quantity of small articles. The
auctioneers worked just as faith
fully as though they were receiv-
ing Is per cent commission, al
though in fact they donated their
entire services to the community s
market day enterprise. The next
market day has been set for July
"a, when a much larger list of
goods is expected to be sold by
auction, and an organized effort
will be made by merchants to dis
play bargains in their various
lines, making it well worth the
time Of purchasers to come to Col
vile on that day.
