We're you one of the thousands who
lined the downtown streets shortly
before noon today and watched the
nassing of the Sells-Floto circus pa
rade? .'.-..,.-.., =,
OF course you we're disappointed III
not seeing the gaily painted wagons
and the other things tnat 80 to make
I'm the average circus street specta'
Gle. The management of the show
found that because OF the many hills
in the city and the condition OF South
side bridge it was impossible TO hold
a full parade so only the part which
rides horseback was permitted To
leave the show grounds.
And it was fine procession even II
it did lack the cage containing the
hippopotumas and his personally con
Quoted real lake and the other AMI
mails The show OF splendid morse,
flesh alone made it worth while, and
il was not absolutely without AMI
mails of rarer sort. The famous Sells
Floto herd of elephants were in line
and SO were the haynes, the new an
imals which are to be seen only VIII
this circus.
The clown band jogging by astride
of twenty odd slyly mischieVous bur
ros left a ripple of laughter in Its
wake, and the harder the drolls whip
ped their trombOnes to and fro, and
the more they pulled out their chalk
ed and painted cheeks, the louder
came the laughter from the ranks oil
SPECTATORS on the curbs. And the
clowns really are musicians, for they
have to know more than just put a
puff of wind through horn to be
members of that organization.
The program this afternoon was
started on time and great crowds
fiocked to the ground after the noon,
day meal and are attending a rea
feature circus performance this al
ternoOn.
The second performance will be CIV
en- this evening on the circus lot al
the South Side ball park beginning
at s o'clock. The doors to the main
show will open at z O'Clock and the
grand concert by the Prof, c. L
Brown circus band will begin at 1856
o'clock.
So IL you wish to see an evening
of good, clean amusement in the way
Of a circus, you should visit the great
white tops tonight, for their Is plenty
of the sensational in the way Of acts
and there is plenty to amuse all.

RUSS ARMIES ARE
STILL RUNNING
Latest DisaffectiOn Exposes
MoIdavia To Grave
Danger.

While Russian leaders are debating
at Moscow with divided opinion as to
the best steps to take for saving the
country from threatened disaster
within and without, the Russian ar
mics continued to show perilous
weakness at critical points. The lat
est break in the line through disaf.
fiction among the troops, occurred
on the southern Rumanian front
where the Austro German armies are
menacing Moldayia with the fate Ot
Wallachia, over run in the great Teu-
tonic drive Of last year.
In the Fakhania region, Russian
division abandoned its position and
fled in disorder. This facilitated a
Tteutonic advance that continued all
day yesterday on the southern Ru-
manian front Austro German troops
pushing northeast toward the OCna
Tantzin railroad. The lines were still
Yielding last night in the Varnitza
region.
Stormy weather apparently is pre-
venting any notable military activi-
ties on the Franco-Belgium front. The
British, after completing their sue
cessful operation of Monday near
Langemarck in which they pushed
forward a considerable distance along
a front OF more than mile contented
themselves last night with clearing
out German advance positions front
Of new British lines. In other sec
tors the British carried out raids cap
turing prisoners.
Apparently there is also halt IN
major activities along the French
front in the Verdun region and in the
great campaign which Gen. Cadorna
is wagging on the Isonzo front against
the Austrians.

The San Salvador volcano which

hurl into the air at intervals Of from
half minute to minute qualities of
red-hot stones. These emissions are
accompanied by tremendous explo.
sions, like the firing together Of a
hundred pieces Of heavy artillery
Smaller stones glowing with heat are
thrown 1900 feet in the air and larger
ones 1900 to 1880 feet.
In the great eruption of June z
when scores of persons were killed
or injured vast quantities OF burning
lava poured from vents in the sides
of the ancient volcano, spreading over
the valleys OF Ell Pinar atd Las
Chintos. These fields of fire now
mostly have cooled,
A lake which occupied the old era
ter was undisturbed by the first erup'
ton, but few days later, it began to
throw off steam. For twenty-five
days it continued 10 boil from subter'
ranean heat and when, at the end OF
that period the water Of the lake had
evaporated, it was possible to observe
that a new crater had been formed
within the mouth OF the old one.
1t is from this new crater that erup'
lions now take place at reiular inter
walls. The spectacle is awe'inspiring'
Millions OF tons of burning stones have
been thrown out on the dry bedrock
where they continue 10 glow. Never
theless it is possible to go within few
hundred yards of the old crater with
out danger and some men even have
lowered themselves into the old crater
with ropes. :,
Excursions to the volcano from all
parts Of the country are popular as a
railroad runs from San Salvador to
Santa TeCla, eight miles from the vol
cano. The remainder OF the iourn-
ey is made on horseback.
