I An act that has always proven cf 'absorbing- interest to the patrons of a circus Is the long leaping and liiyh i Jumping contests that brings the . entertain ment to a close and NonU '& Rowe have paid special attention J to this feature this season and prom ise odd contests of a most exciting nature. The sight of men flying from a spring-board over the backs of horses, camels, dromedaries, llamas aud elephants, Is always spirited and Interesting. It shows the courage and physical perfection of the trained athletes and that Is what young America glories In. The clowns follow the leapers In a bur lesque of their flights through the air and this supplies abundant fun for the children. The leaping tournament has been revived this season by the Greater Norrls & Rowe show upon a scale In keeping with all their new circus. Many leapers, vaulters and high jumpers famous In Enrope as .well as this country have been engaged to take part In the tournaments. A contest on the same order has been arranged for the acrobats and gym nasts In which the Banvard troupe, the La Verne troupe and the Lc mayne troupe will take part. There Is considerable rivalry between the acrobats and the pro fessional leapers and the most dash ing and spirited feats of skill are be ing accomplished. To Increase the Interest, a corps of lady gymnasts and physical culture experts have been added. Norrls & Rowe will give a purse of gold and a diamond medal to .the one who shows the most grace, tklll and daring In suc cessfully leaping the high barriers and clearing the backs of animals and obstacles. Norrls & Rowe will exhibit at Grants Pnss Monday, April 26. , IlbeumutlMin. More than nine out of ten cases of rheumatism aro simply rheumatism of the muscles, duo to cold or damp, or chronic rheumatism. In such cases no Intornnl treatment Is re quired. The free application of Chnmbcrlaln's Liniment Is all that Is needed, and It Is certain to give quick relief. Give it a trial and see for yourself how quickly It relieves the pain and soreness. The medi cines usually given Internally for rheumatism are poisonous or very strong medicines. They are worse than useless In cases of chronic and must'ulnr rheumatism. For sale by M.

Co. Trips From Grants Pass. Here are some of the outings that may be taken: j hours' drive; Graves creek, ten i hours' drive; Jump-Off-Joe, two j hour's drive; Louse creek, one hour's i drive; Pleasant creek, four hour's drive; Williams creek, six hours' drive; head of Applegate river, ten hours' drive; Grouse mountain, two hours' diive; Savage rapids, one hour's drive; Savage creek, two hours' drive; Jones creek, one hour's drive, and Rogue river and Bear Camp, which are all reached from Grants Pass. All of these streams head from mountain springs and af ford many beautiful camping spots for the hunter and sportsman. In the Bear camp country of the lower Rogue and in the mountains of southern Josephine county bears and deer are very plentiful. Bears are killed between the middle of October and the latter part of Dec ember, being in better condition at that season, because of their feeding on huckleberries and sweet acorns. The open season for deer Is from August 15 to November 15 for bucks, and from August 30 to Nov ember 15 for does. As the law pro hibits hunting with dogs or head lamps, the old and time-honored me thod of "stalking" Is the method used. The' law. limits the kill for each sportsman to five, and the li cense fee fpr hunting is one dollar for residents of the state and ten dollars for non-residents, per year.
