BIG CU WILL COME Oil SATURDAY

Barn urn & Bailey Are Due tc Arrive in Richmond at An Early Hour. GO TO NINETEENTH STREET

ERECTION OF THE TENTS ALWAYS ATTRACTS A LARGE CROWD TWO FREE EXHIBITIONS ARE TO BE GIVEN.

"The big show comes Saturday." The sense of exhilaration that

sweeps over the community at this an

nouncement i3 not confined to the

small boy nor to the small boy's big

brother.

It is nopular and legitimate for

pater familias to "hem" and "haw"

little when asked if he is going to the

circus and finally admit in a half-de

precating way, that "he will probably

have to go and see the animals.'

But, way down in his heart, unless

that useful member is warped and cal

loused beyond all hope of recovery, there is a sense of jubilation a surg

ing of old feelings and memories a perfect flood of recollections in which the one-ring circus of other days, and Dan Rice, and "Jim" Robinson, the

"champion rider of the universe," and

a long list of other famous ring celebrities, are photographed upon his mind in a composite picture of other days. He may possibly say that the

circus of these strenuous days, when

there is so much to see that the spec

tator is constantly threatened with strabismus and mental aberration, is not to be compared with the old-time

circus, with a single clown, one ele

phant, and a lonesome family "of acrobats, but, nevertheless, he wouldn't miss the show for twenty times the

price of admission, and down in his heart he knows he is a good natured hypocrite, and that he would "take in"

the circus if there wasn't a boy this

side of the North Pole.

And so, when the five long trains of

cars, used to transport the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth come rolling into the city one after another, the curious army of greeting will not

be confined to the small boy. Not

much; father will be there, and moth

er, and the small boy's big brother and big sister, with a few uncles and aunts

and a large contingent of the small boy's neighbors. Why? Well, that's something no one can explain. It is the fascination that is part and parcel of the circus, and that is all that can

be said about it. The show will pitch its tents on the grounds on Nineteenth street. As fast as the cars are unloaded, in the railroad yards, the vans and wagons will be transferred to the exhibition

grounds and the work of erecting the tents put in operation. This is one

of the most interesting features inci

dent to the arrival of the big show, and always furnishes the crowd a

great deal to see and to marvel at

With the Barnum & Bailey circus this Is true to an unusual extent, for the reason that the tents are the largest

that have ever been constructed, and require the heaviest poles ever utilized

in a traveling exhibition. The center

poles, particularly, are as heavy as

any three poles used by ordinary cir

cuses, while their length is equal to the tallest mast of an ocean-going sailing ship. Everything will be in readiness for the free show which is to inaugurate the engagement. This remarkable exhibition will take place on the show grounds about 11 o'clock, and will be repeated at 5 p. ni. It. will be worth going miles to see. The initial performance will take place at 2 o'clock, and the final one at S p. m. A great circus companny has been gathered from all parts of the world. The performance is preceded by a beautiful military and allegorical spectacle, founded on the Russo-Japanese war, and entitled "Peace." Then comes the circus numbers, including the sensational automobile "Dip of Death," Capt. Howelsen's thrilling sky sailing feats, and the mid-air bicycle revolutions of the French Boiler Brothers. Owing to the immense amount of paraphernalia to be handled, these sensational acts will be presented ia the early part of the program at the night jerformance. The crowds at the ticket wagons tiuring the opening hoars may be

avoided by securing seats down town,

show day, at Adams drug store. Sixth

nd Main streets. There is no ad

vance in prices at the down town office.

FUNERAL SERVICES OF WILLIAM HAYS

Wealthy Preble County Buried Thursday.

Man

BRIEF HISTORY OF LIFE.

Eaton, O., May 10. The funeral services over the remains of William Ramsey Hays, who was one of the wealthiest men in Preble county, were held Thursday morning at ten o'clock from the United Presbyterian church at Fair Haven, this county. His age was 79 years, and for a long time he had been suffering from a paralytic stroke. He leaves a widow and seven children. A brief history of his life was given at the services, which is as follows: "William R. Hays was born in the

old log cabin that stands to this day on the old home place, familiarly known as the "Hays farm." Farming had been his occupation throughout his life and the old homestead had been the fccene of his operations con

tinuously.

The first stepping stone to his

wealth was that of a thresherman for his neighbors. The money he" receiv

ed from this source was carefully in-(st

vested in real estate, and it multiplied

rapidly with the years that passed,

and at tha time of his death he was worth perhaps $100,000.

He was united in marriage to Miss

Elizabeth Marshall, of "Israele town

ship and nine children were born of

this marriage, seven of whom

vive.

Mr. Hays was the largest land own-

er in Hrebie county ana one ui me

most widely known."

us Faust and Mephisto toilfully climb

chasms of the peak of the Brocken, in the Hartz Mountains, where, according to the German legend, the witches and warlocks meet on Walpurgis night

the thirteenth of April, to hold their

yearly festivities. The night grows

darker and darker; the moon in its last quarter gives but little light. They climb higher and higher; the trees and

rocks and distant cliffs take on wondrously fantastic shapes in the dim light of the dying moon; only the hooting of owls and the far away cry of the lonely night-hawk breaks the solemn stillness. During the truly' horrifying scene that follows Mephi6to shows Faust the never failing "Punishment of Evil." and the curtain falls with terror-stricken Faust writhing in the Evil One's grasp. A perfect storm of electric fire descends, amid which ths imps and witches are seen reveling in their fiendish merriment.

STATEMENT BY PREBLE COUNTY HOG RAISER

S. E. Morton Declares Conditions Very Bad. Eaton, O., May 10. S. E. Morton, of Camden, O., who i3 the best known hog-raiser in the state, was here yesterday. He made the statement that prospects were very bad this year. Owing to the conditions, as they now exist, the spring litters will be very small. The reason is that the weather has been too cold, and that hundreds of pigs have died from that cause. Mr. Morton was the best exhibitor at the World's fair at St. Louis, and he states that this year, cut of 400 pigs, he has only succeeded in saving 175. H. A. Yost, of Camden, O., who is a member of the

Preble county Agricultural society,

and is the next highest breeder of hogs in this country, makes the statement that he lost about one third of

the pigs this year.

Wheat Makes Strong

Men and Women

Scientists Say It Contains Every Ele

ment Required for Perfect Nutrition. Wheat is rich in carbohydrates which produce bodily heat and energy and is classed bj' scientists as a "force producer." Meats contain no carbohydrates whatever. Wheat contains tissue making elements, flesh formers, blood makers, and all that is required for growth and support of perfect men, women and children. It is the only food the earth produces which contains in perfect proportion every food element needed for the highest developed brain and physical power. The greatest strength-giving and most healthful form of wheat is MaltaVita, which supplies energy to brain and body without taxing the weakest digestion, because it is whole wheat, almost predigested by pure barley

malt extract. Malta-Vita for breakfast is especially valuable to- athletes, laborers, brain workers, nervaus people and those subject to mental strain or worry. Its carbohydrates (strengthmakers) assimilated easily and con-, vert promptly into energy, imparting to mind and body a brightness and vigor seldom experienced from any

other food. For all .persons, from Infancy to old age, in sickness and health, no other food is equal to Malta-Vita, Mrs. J. D. Robertson, Morgan Park, 111., says: '"Surely Malta-Vita is nature's perfect food. I had poor health, a weuk heart, weak digestion and anemia for four years. I have received great benefit from Malta-Vita. I have recommended it many times
