RINGLING BROS. AND
BARNUM AND BAILEY
Mammoth Shows Are Now Combined
and Announce Exhibitions
At Early Date

The worlds biggest amusement in
stitution, Ringing Brothers and
Barnum e Bailey Shows Combined,
is to exhibit afternoon and night at
Greensburg, Wednesday, July 8. The
consolidation of the Worlds Great
est Shows and the Greatest Show
on Earth" in one circus of colossal
size, constitutes the amusement sur
prise of the country. Nothing to
approach this gigantic new circus
has ever before toured America. 1t
has been formed by merging the pick
and the cream of all that was biggest
and best in the two famous shows.
1t would be folly to attempt to en-
umerate its many wonders. Some
idea of the enormous scale upon
which features are presented may be
had when it is stated that a quarter
of million pounds of elephants take
part in single act. In other words
six times as many of the big-eared
giants than have ever before been
seen in one main-tent exhibition All
else to be seen is in proportion. The
arenic stars embrace all the world s
foremost circus performers. There
are three hours of novelties and big
sensational acts The menagerie is
far and away the most colossal ever
travelled For instance-a herd of
eight giraffes are exhibited in place
of the two or three shown in the past
The great tournament which opens
the main tent program is the most
magnificent thing in pageantry yet
produced in America. Hundreds up
on hundreds of gorgeousIy costumed
characters and beautiful horses take
part in it. The morning street pa
rade is the longest and most bril-
liant ever given anywhere. 1t is a
stupendOus, super-circus that battles

HOW TO STOP
BEING NERVOUS
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphat
to Strengthen Weak Nerves
and Increase Strength
and Vl0or.

According to noted French
Scientist, the most effective remedy
for nervousness, insomnia and all
ments due to depleted nerve force,
is form Of organic phosphate known
among druggists in this country as
Bitro-Phosphate.
1t is described as substance
which is similar in composition to
the phosphorus naturally found in
brain and nerve cells and, being
easily and quickly assimilated. the
work of creating nerve force, strength
and vigor begins Immediately It is
taken into the human system.
There are many reports OF aston
fishing results from IFS use, some
showing remarkable Improvement
even in stubborn cases of long stand
ing nerve weakness. AS there are
many kinds OF phosphates, care
should be exercised to procure the
genuine phosphate, as sold by
Wilkinson &, Co. in Keoruk and all
good druggists.

QUINCY BOASTS
ABOUT TENNIS
Gem City Net Men Accuse keokuk
Chailenaers of Taking kdvan-
tage of Musseiman's
Injury.

From the howl that Quincy tennis
players have raised about a challenga
from Keokuk one would imagine that
they have all the champions of the
three states and the United States
gewed up in their tennis rackets
down there. Keokuk players sent a
challenge to Quincy players. Now
the Gem City players are claiming
that Keokuk is taking advantage OF
the fact that Musselman is out of
the game Here is their side Of the
story as given by a Quincy paper:
~Ten members of the Keokuk Ten
mis- club have challenged like num-
Der of Quincy players to match to
be played Ia this city in the near
future. Keokuk is little chesty
about her tennis game, claiming the
cham pionship of Illinois, Iowa and
Missouri. They have doubtless learn
ed that T. IL Musselnan is out OF
the game owing TO injuries to his
knee In the Decatur tournament, and
that other Class A Quincy players
are away at present playing In ma
.fouaI tournament matches. Mr. Mus

AFTER MONTH
OF DROUGHT
Broadway Is Sad at Disappearance Of
Experts In Mixing Up
Fancy Toddies and
Juleps.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Barenders,
formerly helmsmen Of many a
schooner. under the good skipper Old
Man Haitian, are now looking for a
snug harbor as result of the demise
of their friend, John Bar lie Corn,
one month ago.
But the late mixers OF merry muct-
Ilage declare the first of July and the
consequent advent or prohibition
brought them one relief, viz, they
no longer have to answer the ques-
ton which was propounded about
98,764,S34 times: "Wen, Joe, whatta
va gonna do after prohibition
comes?"
The famous characters who won
national regulations for their skill
lin concocting juleps and toddies are
now seeking other employment, and
they have become CONS picuous by
their absence from this city's famous
Ithoroughfare, Broadway.
And Broadway misses the men to
whom it used to whisper its troubles.
The well known cafes and cabarets
are no longer patronized by the
crowds of sun-dodgers who once al
most lived in them. The owners pre-

AS the great thirst approached. the

Some opined it might be possible to
serve capers and food at a profit
without the admixture of alcohol, but
they are now mostly convinced that
! It is impossible.
Prominent restaurateurs say people
simply won't eat enough food to make

distinct height to which prices can
go and there they must stop. Pat.

the prices began to jump Immediately
after prohibition. These patrons
worried little about prices so long as
they could drive away dull care by

The owners entertain vague hopes
that some miracle will occur TO save
their fortunes. The Ant-SaIoon

Bon vivants intent upon eating
green corn would-if perfectly sober
resent the Eruption of young per

circles have in the past been known
to think it good joke when the

an incident would furnish topic for
Preside discussion for the rest of the
year.
Then there is the chance that The

Wake6sld's Blackberry Balsam has
been the surea and safest remedy for
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera 1nfan-

While it is quick and positive in its
action, it is unlike other remedies in
that it is harmless and does not con-
stipate. It simply checks the trouble
and puts the stomach and bowels IN
their natural, regular condition. OF
the millions Of bottles that have bean
sold, never has a case been reported
to the manufacturer where cure
was not effected when directions were
followed, even after other remedies
had failed. Every home should have
