SPARKS CIRCUS TO BE IN PARIS
SEPT. z.

Sparks Worlds Famous Shows will
hold forth in this city for matinee
and night exhibition, Saturday, Sept.
z, and the rare, unique and wonder
full things that have been promised
on paper will become reality.
The airy riders who, in diaphanous
skirts have been pirouetting on the
expansive backs of beautiful and
speedy circus horses Con the bill
boards) will be seen in the gorgeous
ness of tulle and seductive smile; the
elephants will copy their pictured
acts of comedy and go them one bet
ter; the contortionist will proceed
to disentangle himself from the knots
he has tied in his responsive body
last year; the acrobatic families will
turn dizzy somersalts and the clowns
will work on their latest comedy
stunts to the great delight 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
lean amusement that appeals to all
the people.
The merit in a big circus like the
Sparks Show is in the fact that every
thing 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 acrobatic
artists and aerists are gathered
from the wide world, and are the best
that money can procure.
1t is the superiority in the quality
of the performers that makes the
Sparks Shows such a welcome visitor.

BURNING FILM CAUSES PANIC

The burning of a few feet of film
in Liberty Theatre, at Mt. Sterling,
Tuesday night, caused a near-panic
among the people gathered to see
the picture show. Small damage was
done by the flames, but the people
crowded to the small exit of the
theatre when the flames appeared
and struggled to get out. They
were quieted before any one was in

On the battle front the most i'm
portant fighting has occurred in the
north Italian theatre, where the Aus
trians endeavored to evict the Italians
from their new positions on Monte
Dival Bella in the Asiago plateau, but
were repulsed before they could reach
the line of defenders. Previously the
Italians. by a quick stroke, and mas
terfully carried out, had pushed
farther forward their line in this re-
gion to the head OF the Telago Valley.
Austrian losses in the past few days
of lighting are estimated between five
and six thousand, not including pris-
oners.
Russia, and Finland, continue to at
tract attention, and in all three coun-
tries exceed the turburence of the past,
involving the constituted and defacto
governments on one hand, and the dis
satisfied population on the other, still
prevails.
In Germany, although the apparent
ly numerous strikers throughout the
empire have thus far failed to return
to work. there has seemingly been
lessening of intensity of the situation.
Failure of the German newspapers to
arrive at the usual neutral points
leaves a veil of uncertainty over the
exact status of affairs there. Such
advice as received, however, tended to
indicate the strike movement has
reached it's greatest heights, and now
is dwindling.
