any and truly "bigger and better than
ever before." -
It is remarkable how well the hor
ses with ' this ahow look, well fed,
sleek and fat, especially the famous
Armour horses, when you consider
the fact that they have been on the
road traveling with Sells Floto since
March, this speaks well not only for
Billy Watts the celebrated driver, but
for the superintendent of stock, Geo.
Stumpf. ..We have heard good reports
of this show from the various cities
where they have exhibited, and no
doubt from the crowds who witnes
sed the parade this morning the tent
will be packed at tonight's perform
ance, as they have a full house this
afternoon.
We will have to dof our hat to the
Callope performer. We have heard

MAYOR REACHES DECISION
AIIENOANCE IN CM VERY HUGE
Circus Day Fever Rampant Every
where In La Grande.
Flaring costumes, neighing steeds,
clarion trumpets, holiday crowds and
the usual equipment of things circus,
marked circus day in La Grande to
day. From a parade standpoint, few
better things have been seen, and
while there were many features about
the event witnessed by ho hundreds
from out of town and the hundred
who lined the business street, the
feature was easily the Armour Co',
banner team. Cleanliness and order
marked the gorgeous ana of feat
urea. .. .. ..' " " ; i'
In very striking contrast to the use-
ual order of events, the I.a d rir.de
small boy was up with the lark this
morning and it was not necessary to
be threatened and cajoled by a parent
to call him forth, either. Thfe reason
for the desire to vie fflthhi-rd-verblal
song bird -was the arrival of
the circus trains,, for, b'.' it known
this is circus .lay.
For days, wjek. vea. months, the
bill boards, bin sheds mid tven th-i
sides and fronts of business buildings,
have been gaily decorated with gaily
colored posters and studied with de
light by the small boy, who would be
just as interested and enthusiastic if j
the big Bhow came evry month Instead
of once a year. And now the big day
has arrived. .. .
The Sells-Floto circus trains ar
rived a trifle late, however, but so
smoothly and systematically were
the long strings of cars unloaded that
the parade was but a trifle late..
Those who came late, hurried up to
the grounds, where they have been

The Sells-Floto shows need no In
troduction. It has been here several
times before and is probably the fa
vorite of all the shows that visit La
Grande. Nothing is missing this time

in its praise, declaring that it Is re-

Tomorrow at three o'clock com

heralded game between the La Grande
band and the barbers. Both teams
have practiced diligently, and It i3 be

An . official dispensation has been

users and careful surveilence by par

through negligence. " '
Market Will Loosen
. There has been extreme' reticent
among the bvyets of firecrackers on
account , of the unsettled state of af
fairs over the enforcement of the
ordinance, and it is expected that
business will pick up now.
It Is also very probable that next
year the merchants will hot, buy . in
a stock of goods as the law is to be
enforced to the letter hereafter, for
the special dispensation was made
out of courtesy to those who had
supply on hand. " , ' '

ST. MICHAELS, Md., June 26. Tbo
latest theory concerning the death of
Mrs. Edith Thompson Woodill, whose
nude body was found In the river near
here. Is that she was killed becausa
she' refused to submit to an attempt
to levy blackmail. The police Is now
convinced that Era met t Roberts, the
alleged slayer1 who was killed by a
"posse i early, yesterday, . was Robert
Emmett Eastman, the New York bro
ker, who is missing since ho stole
$200,000 of his client's money.
It 1b also believed the woman met
her death lu' Robert's bungalow, and
the body thrown into the river. ' The
letter. to his wife, known as VInnle
Bradcombe, is said to have expressed
Robert's intention of going awpy to
make a fortune. This fortune, the
police believe, was the money he
hoped to compel Mrs. WoodM to j ay
as the price of his silence reg& JIng
their past life. ;', , ',.
Detectives today are searching .he
bungalow where the tragedy occurred
in hope of unearthing ' further evi
dence.
Mrs. Kinney Smith today showed her
ability as a business woman by round
ing up her husband by resorting to
the fast team . and buggy method to
get him to the land office to make ap
plication on a valuable piece of home
stead near Starkeyv The land in ques
tion had been applied for by Samuel
G. Ruckman, but the government
knocked his application out and there
has been a lively scramble for it by
those who knew of It. Mrs. Smith
ittempted to file on It this morning,
but the regulations would not permit.
She secured a team, and rushing to
Perry where her husband is employ
ed in the mill, brought him back to
La Grande in time to make the ap
nllcation before anyone els could file.
