in the republic, new stamps are be-
ing prepared for distribution and sale.

the former Austrian Empire, has is

from the state printery at Vienna.

CIRCUS COMING VIA SOUTHRN
RAILWAY.

Hoop La! The Sparks circus will
burst upon a expectant city tomorrow
overlapping in merit, in splendor, in
novelty, in fun and in breath-taking
feats, its representatives avow, any
and all former circus achievements
Acres of tents, a parade one mile
long, big menagerie, herds of ele-
plants and camels, $50 horses and
ponies, the pick and pride of the
worlds acrobats, gymnasts, equestri-
ans, aerialists and equilibrists.
Clowns? Yes, dozens of them!
The circus will arrive in two trains
of double-length railroad cars early
tomorrow. The young boy and the
old boy will be on hand to meet it and
witness the picturesque scenes Of de-
trainment and the march of man and
beast to the show grounds.
The Sparks Circus parade will
amaze all onlookers, it is confidently
promised. 1t has been made a big,
special, individual feature of the days
glad routine, and one upon which ev-
cry effort has been concentrated to
create pageant unprecedented in the
long history of the circus. 1t is

of the wonders that await under can

ment world. The perfection of the
showman's art has been attained.
