The Barnum aud Bailey greatest
l.ow ou . earth baa left the
eastern country where It was exhiV
iilng and started upon Its tour of the
west and the Pacific coast. Two per
formances and a street parade will be
given In La Grande, Tuesday August
27.
The circus this year travels upon 85
double-length cars and, more real es
tate Is required for the tentage than
ever hofore. Old Ideas bave been dis
carded and an entirely new circus Is
promised. In all essentials the same
performance that greater New York
applauded for five weeks during the
early spring. A magnificent spectac
entltled "Cleopatra", based upon the
story of Antony and Cleopatra, effect
ively answers the cry for "some
thing new." Over 1200 people take a
part In this wordless play, Including
a ballet of S00 dancing girls trained
by Ottokar Bartlk of the Metropolitan
opera house. The entire resources of
the show In camels, horses, elephants
jfid other animals are utilized In this
very stupendous pantomimic play.Tlie
wardrobe Is beautiful and historical
ly correct.
The strictly arenlc features present
much that is new. There Is an ele
phant baseball nine for one thing. The
Mikado's royal roupe of athletes of
wrestlers and jlu Jltsu experts are
another novelty, while Kate and San
dwlna, the female Hercules, and the
Perne brothers. Swiss strong men pre
sent unusual performances, one of the
latter engaging In a pulling match
with an elephant. The real sensa
tion of the circus Is a mere girl, May
Wlrth, of the Australian Wlrth fam
ily, and the most remarkable rider of
hr day, If not of all time. She Is a
bare back rider and negotiates back
ward and forward somersaults with
a "grace and abandon beyond mere
words to describe", quoting Harper's
Weekly. In th circus too a baby
giraffe born last January Is an Inter
esting exhibit In size, girth and di
mensions this year's Barnum and Ba
iley cirrus excells all previous efforts
and with a program almost entirely
new lives more generously up to Its
trade-mark title of the "greatest show
on earth" than at any time during Its
long and successful career. '

THE CURE FOR
SCROFULA
The usual symptoms of Scrofula are enlarged glands of the neck,
sores and ulcers on the body, skin affections, catarrhal troubles, weaK
eyes, and general poor health. The Inherited poison, transmitted through
the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and In place of its nutritive
dualities fills the circulation with scrofulous matter, which saps the vitality
of the entire system. Thousands of children, born with a scrofulous taint,
have spent their childhood in constant physical suffering, and grown to
manhood or womanhood handicapped by ill health and stunted growth,
and perhaps later some disease of the bones or Joints developed. S. S. S.,
given in their early life, would have prevented this. It would have
cleansed and purified the blood of the taint, nourished and strengthened
their systems, and assisted each to grow into strong, healthf ul manhood
or womanhood. S. 8. S. la the very best remedy for Scrofula. It goes
down to the bottom ot the trouble, and cleanses the circulation of all
sorofulous matter. It supplies the weak, diseased blood with strength
and health-building qualities, and under the purifying effeots of this great
remedy aU symptoms of Scrofula pass away. S. S. S. contains no minerals
in any form, and la an absolutely safe treatment for children, even infants,
or peraons of any age. Literature about Scrofula and any medical advice
