SELLS-FIOTS SHOW
SEASON'S 1ST CIRCUS
The first really big circus to ar
rive here this season will be the great
Sells-Fioto Consolidated Show, which
Is booked to appear in this city on
June 6th.
For many years now this popular
priced attraction has been coming
back greatly enlarged In every way.
and positively giving more for the
money than any kindred attraction
touring the country. This season the
management announces that they
have added many novel and special
features to those which are consider
ed a part and parcel of the conven
tional circus. Among those are sev
eral European novelties which have
never before been seen in this coun
try. The wonder of it all being how
Sells-Floto people can give such a
marvelous performance at such a
small price.
That they are able to do so, how
ever. Is proven by the fact that for
three years now they have cut the
time honored price In half and made
money by doing so, all of which goes
to show that even In the circus world,
and where daily expenses run up in
to the thousands, the theory of pop
ular prices is practical.
Two performances will be given
here on the day the circus arrives.
The grand street parade will, as usu
al, bo a spectacle of more than ordi
nary magnificence.
THE MEXICANS AS
THEY REALLY ARE
Picturesque Mexico and the equa'.'y
Picturesque natives are but little un
derstood and hardly acquainted with
by our people, i-iction and history
lias told (something of them, but to
the majority ot our people the oppor
tunity of seeing the Mexican as he
really is has seldom if ever presented
itselt. However, the 101 Ranch Real
Wi,d West show which is to be here
June 14, has included Mexicans, many
of whom are the same to Mexico as is
the cowboy to this country, among its
teatures.
While Mexico boasts of a popula
tion of 16,000,000 all of this popula
tion cannot be considered Mexicans.
There are not many pure blooded
Mexicans and this fact is not wholly
known to the residents of this histo
rical country. Of a boasted popula
tion of sixteen million of people only
about six millions of them are Mexi
cans. The oher ten million are eith
er full blooded Indians or largely of
Indian blood. It Is estimated that ful
ly 5,000,000 who are devoid of the ad'
mixture of Spanish Dlood and more
than that number of the "meztlzos"
or half breeds. The ruling class of
pure Spanish blood, forms a com
paratively small proportion of the en
tire population.
Ancient customs, superstition and
languages still prevail among the
masses of Mexican people. The dif
ferent tribes have different languages
anu they cling to them tenaciously. It
is not unusual to find in one town
Aztecs, Otoml, Tephuas and Tometecs
Jn as many quarters of the settlement
and each speaking a different dialect
and each tribe wholly unable to talk
to or understand the other.
Although most of the Mexican In'
dlans have been converted to Chris
tianity, many of them are only nom
inally Christians. Ancient Aztec rites
still prevail in many places but nat
urally practiced secretly Some but
only a very small minority of the
Mexicans are frankly pagans.

up the 16.000,000 population of MeX'

T. F. O'Brien, Agent, Pendleton
lco the much maligned and most
persecuted tribe of Yaquis are per-"
haps the most deserving of admiration
and respect. Instead they are getting
but exile and slavery and can almost
be considered destitute. The Ya
quia are robust and active and filled
with that love of freedom. It is al
most uncalled for to say that they
are warlike and brave. For more than
a century they had waged war against
the Mexican government and only re
cently have they been subdued. In
exile they have been banishd to their
native mountains in Yucatan.
Many of the Mexican Indians are
farmers, but the majority of them
still cling to the primitive trades of
the aborigines, such as basket weav
ing and making pottery and mats.
With the 101 Ranch Real Wild
West Show will be found not only the
Simon pure Mexicans but representa
tives of the many ribes of Indians
that habltate the country.
End Hunt for Rich Girl.
Often the hunt for a rich wife ends
when the man meets a woman that
uses Electric Bitters. Her strong
nerves tell in a bright brain and
even temper. Her peach-bloom com
plexion and ruby lips result from her
pure blood; her bright eyes from rest
ful sleep; her elastic step from firm,
free muscles, all telling of the health
and strength Electric Bitters give a
woman and the freedom from indi
gestion, backache, headache, fainting
and dizzq spells .ney promote. Every
where they -are woman's favorite
remedy. If weak or ailing try them.
