Purchase of the Barnum &

King of Canvas.
(United Press Leased Wire.)
Chicago. Sept. 3. Friends close to
Ringllng Brothers assert that a deal has
been closed whereby the Rlngllngs will
take over the Barnum A Bailey shows.
This also gives them control of Buffalo
Bill's show, and they have a working
agreement with the Hagenback and
Pawnee Bill shows.
Figures are not given, but recently It
was estimated that the Barnum &
Bailey aggregation was valued at $5,
000.000. The deal will give Ringllng
Brothers an absolute monopoly In the
big circus line and open to them New
York and other cities that were closed
by agreement with their former rivals.
It has been the ambition of John Ring
llng to be the circus king of the world.
When the Rlngllngs and Bailey saw
three years ago that cut throat com
uetltion was Injuring: both shows, they
entered into an agreement to divide the
territory, -whereby eaoh circus cut in

tising. '

GRAND MARINE SPECTACLE.
while quotations are firm the spirit of
"soak em" does not seem to prevail
except perhaps In a few of the smaller
shops where Customers are ordinarily
accepted In the nature of a strayed or
misguided curiosity. ' ,
The city officials have resolved to
keep the lid on tight and they ere hold
ing down on every corner. Yesterday
Hon. Mayor Wise held that the "every
body works but father" ball-throwing
device was a gambling scheme because
of cigars being offered for prises, and
so the game was closed. Ii reopened
last night, however, minus the cigars
and as was expected, . patronage In
creased and smokers feel better, every
body working for glory. And thus the
city Is free from gambling, except such
as Is done In the -ordinary course of
life and among ''the spectators on the
grandstand who may have their own
little opinion as to the outcome of the
respective events. I

crowds it might not be amiss to men

curred here last night when the train

Ilka sardine boxes started away leaving
many on the depot grounds to wait till

steamers. Fortunately for some the
steamer Lurllne was scheduled to sail
last night, but even at the best the
way-boats are too slow for the busy

Night Parade, With Conditions at
Best Crowds Well Cared For.
(Special Dispatch to Tbe JonroaL)
Astoria, Or., Sept. 3. Surrounded by
a flgjet of blazing launches. Illuminated
with Chinese lanterns, electric lights
and colored fires In profusion, Admiral
Calender's flagship Armenia formed the
center piece of the grand marine pa
rade of the regatta last night The
flagship, too, was a mass of lanterns of
variegated colors and novelly arrayed,
while from her decks poured fantastic
streams of Roman candles, sky rockets
and other pyrotechnic inventions equally
effective. The display was grand and
went off without accident, although It
was dark on the bay and difficult and
dangerous to navigate. Besides this,
great care had to be used In guarding
against explosions since a large number
of the boats were propelled by gasoline
motors.
The marine parade started at 7:30 and
lasted till 9 o'clocK. on Doara me nag
ment's delay would have meant death
by suffocation or cremation.
The warning was timely, however, be
cause the help summoned from the
streets was kept busy quite a while put
ting down the flames and quenching
the smouldering embers. Failure to dis
cover the fire In Its early stage might
have resulted In a fearful catastrophe
because the buildings were all wooden
and filled with guests, not any too well
acquainted with the labyrlnthlo halls.
The Norwegian singers enjoyed a
banquet last night at the saengerfest
headquarters in Ford & Stokes hall and
there ended what has been pronounced
a most successful session from every
point of view. The spread was elab
orate and the large hall was profusely
decorated with color appropriate for the
occasion. Most of the singers left for
their homes this morning, some with
the intention of spending a few days
in Portland. The next saengerfest will
be held at Seattle In 1909. The follow
ing officers were elected: President.
H. P. Rudd. of Seattle; first vice-president.
Dr. J. L. Rynnlng, of Taooma;
recording secretary. Al Vlnge, of Se
attle; marshal, P. O. Nashje, of Eve
rett. Resolutions thanking the citizens
and the orriclals of Astoria ror tne
splendid reception were passed. It Is
generally conceded that much of the
success of the regatta may be attributed
to the saengerfest and vice versa, one
feature assisting the other.

Astoria, Or., Sept. 3. Yesterday af
ternoon's parade eclipsed anything in
the line ever attempted here before.
This was due to several causes, the
regatta, saengerfest and Labor day con
tributing their respective features. A
conservative estimate places the num
ber of men in line at 1,000. Then to
add to the color scheme and spectacle
there were floats and gay costumes In

' Well of Soda Water,
From the Scientific American.
One of the roost Interesting and novel
gushing wells In the world, and perhaps
without a rival In either respect, is a
geyser of soda water that recently
came up at WendMng, Just across the
Mendocino county border from Sonoma,
California.
This well produces soda water gen
uine soda water and of a quality that
would warrant bottling for the general
trade in such quantities as were never
struck before. There is so much of this
water that It Is turned Into a huge long
flume and used to float great logs from
the forest to the timber mills.
An artesian well borer was recently
employed to secure an adequate water
supply for a large sawmill in that
region. He drilled to a depth of 200
feet, the lower 110 feet being through
solid granite. Then a slight trace of
water was found. The artesian man
then placed fifty-four sacks of dyna
mite at the bottom of the well and ex
ploded them.
Instantly water gushed up, rising
twenty feet above the surface of the
ground, pouring forth In enormous vol
ume. That was days ago. and since
then there has been no indication of a
cessation of this vast "natural soda
fountain."
