Ringling Brothers' Circus Pro- gram This Year Brimful of Unique Foreign Acts. There age more oxclusive European novelties in the great programme of Ringling Bros." World's Greatest shows this season than were ever before gathered in a circus performance in this country. It is the first appear- ance here of all these artists, and the progressive spirit of this wonderfully successful amusement firm was never better illustrated. The most sensation- al riding mets ever performed are' to be seen at each performance in. the unique feats of the four Eldreds. These riders have astonished all Europe by their ° extraordinary ecquestrianism. Four people jumping from the ground to a running horse's back at exactly the same time, 'jumping backward at the same instant to the same flying position, side somersaulting over two fleeting horses, and executing difficult acrobatic feats while all four are on the back of a speeding horse, are sev- eral of the deeds that they accom- plish that were never done before, The four Eldreds are without a peer in the whole world in sensational bareback riding. The four Bedinis, Parisian idols are also in this high class, and make Wagarville, May 19.--Fammers are 'about through seeding. Black & | Dufiy"s saw mill has completed its | work.

At 1.45 o'clock they formed in line, two by two, each class attended by its teacher and marched to the Bijou Opera House. No less proud . were they of their "best Sunday-go- to-meeting"' clothes than of the Union Jacks that they "set to the breeze," on their march. Proud mothers and fathers, and the trustees were in wait- ing at the Opera House. The kinder- gartners exhibited their skill in march- ing and sang two pretty airs, follow- ed by the "Maple Leaf," from the -en- tire school, Speeches of a patriotic nature were given by Mayor MeMul len; Trustee P. C. Macnee; Rev. W, Armitage and chairman of the school board, Edward Boulter, Interspersing these, selections were sung by the different grades in the school. "God Save the King" brought the exercises to a close. The high school did not take part. Holleford Happenings. Holleford, May 21.--Farmers are be- hind with their seeding owing to the late frosts and the heavy rains. Mrs. Blackhurst, an old and respected resi- dent passed away recently after a ling ering illness. The remains were inter- red in the Roman Catholic cemetery Railton. Miss Swerbrick, school teach- er, is still seviously ill. The trustees have engaged Mrs. Revel, Hart to, take charge of the school ng her illness. Mrs. J. D. Walker is con- fined to her room with rheumatism. W. Albertson has sold his farm, anc he has purchased a farm from J. 7T. Babeock. W. Collins has moved into the house owned by R. J. Carslake. Mrs. W.

Corn. and = potato planting will be the next in order; from all accounts the amount to' be flanted will greatly exceed that © of ast year. Fall grain in this neighbor hood looks fine. The baby daughter of Charles Scott, Harlowe, was the reci- ient of one of the silver cups given Toronto World to all babies in Ontario born on February 20th, 1904. A baby boy has come to brighten the home of C. McGregor. Mrs. C. Gray is visiting y their first appearance here with Ring- ling Bros. ey 'introduce riding and leaping dogs in their novel and hazar: dous acts. The six Glinserrettis, who turn triple somersaults from shoulder to. shoulder, are acrobats of European celebrity. The Tasmania troupe, the cight Colini-Clarons and the Dollard troupe present thir specialties here for the first "time; and have created a sensation. To bring these artists to this country is another evidence of the progressive policy of Ringling Bros., hich has separated their great shows from all others, both in public favor and exclusive novel and expen- sive features. Ringling Bros. are lead- ors in the circus part of the amuse- ment world, for which the public at large is appreciative, as may be seen in the wonderful erowds this show alone attracts.

St. Petersburg, May 21.--(6,28 p. m.)~The government to-day received news, conirmatory of the rumors in circulation here, that Gen. Stoessel made 'a successful sortie from Port Arthur, resulting in the defeat of the J , with the loss of over 1,000 Killed or wounded. The Russian losses were 116 killed or wounded. ' Paris, May 21.--The Petit Journal's St. Petersburg correspondent says he has been permitted to visit the Novsky shipyards, and saw there six subma- rine boats, two of which were com- plete, and are to start for Vladivos- tok within a week. Tokio, Mav 21.--Although it has not been officially reported, it is said on good authority that the Japanese forces have captured Kaichou, driving the Russians back to Tashichia, in the direction of New Chwang, and preventing the advance of the Russian troops at New Chwang in the direc tion of Kaichou. Tokio, May 21.--(5 p.m.)--The Jap- anese forces, which landed at Taku- shan on Thursday, surrounded 'and routed a force of Russian cavalry at 7 o'clock on Friday evening in the neighborhood of Wangchitune. seven miles north of Takushan. The Russi- an force, which consisted of about one squadron, lost many men killed or wounded, as well as a captain, who was captured. The Japanese sustained no losses. Liao Yang, May 21.--The Japanese plan of eampaign is puzzling the Rus- sian authorities. The Japanese appear and then vanish. It is impossible to guage the strength of the troops they have landed, . as they are scattered and are occupving elevated positions in the mountains. Tokio, May 21.--It is absolutely cer- tain that the battleship Hatsuse was sunk by a Russian mine ten miles off the coast. The position of these mines make navigation dangerous for neu- tral vessels and a protest from fore- ign governments is expected. The loss of the Japanese warships is felt keen ly here. No flags are flying in this city and the nightly lantern parades have been abandoned, The Army Of The Summer. W. D. Nesbit in Chicago Tribume. The army of the summertime is march- ing up the hills-- The van is creeping silently beside waking rills, For here and there the movements of the couriers are seen In spreading waves of grassy spears that leap to living green. Away across the meadow lands the dan- delions bold-- Each flaunting saucily his shield buckler made of gold-- Are springing into action while the in- sect drummers beat A rally roll that sounds the charge with winter in retreat soon the banner of the rose will blaze their white and red, And orchard blooms in misty pink the ermy's tents will spread, For now all bravely in the hush of hid- den mossy dells The outposts of the flower host have set their scntinels. The army of the summertime is march- ing up the hills-- The music of the fairy horns the distant forest fills, And soon with crickets fifing and with flower bags uniurled, fetters made of garlands shall im- prison half the world. the and For The For trunks and valises of highest quality, but lowest price try-Aber- nethy's.
