No Right to Ugliness.
The woman who is lovely in face , form and
temper will always have friends , but one who
would be attractive must keep her health. If
she is weak , sickly and all run down , she will
be nervous and irritable. If she has consti
pation or kidney trouble , her impure blood
will cause pimples , blotches , skin eruptions
and a wretched complexion. Electric Bitters
is the best medicine in the world to regula'e
stomach , liver and kidneys and to purify the
blood. It gives strong nerves , bright eyes ,
smooth , velvety skin , rich complexion. It
makes a g ood-fooking , charming woman of a
run-down invalid. Only 50 cts. at McConnell

It comes a little late , but coming from the
editor himself , it must be true , that the Re
publican was not bought by Mr.Thompson in
the senatorial contest last winter. But your
correspondent can relate some very suggest
ive facts in this connection , which will take
more than a simple denial to controvert. But ,
come to think of it , who ever made a state
ment that the Republican had been bought ?
The editor of the Republican seems to have
: 'scooped" himself , as this is the first public
reference to this generally accepted idea.

; ays : "I was taken with typhoid fever , that
an into pneumonia. My lungs became hard-
: ned. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up
n bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to
eon die of consumption , when I heard of Dr.
vine's New Discovery. One bottle gave
freat relief. I continued to use it , and now
im well and strong. I can't'say too much in
ts praise. " This marvelous medicine is the
urest and quickest cure in the world for all
liroat and lung trouble. Regular sizes 50

R1NCLING DAY NEAR.
The Visit of the World's Greatest
Shows Rapidly Approaching : .
, Ringling day is almost hete. The
coming of Riugling Brothers' famous
big circus , next Monday , September 18 ,
is the one subject of conversation. Ex
pectation has been aroused as never be
fore. The public confidently looks for
ward to beeing a great show , and it will
not be disappointed. The parade which
inaugurates circus day would be sufficient
to stamp the show as the monarch of all
tent amusements. This stupendous dis
play engages the services of over a
thousand men , women and children ,
and fully five hundred thoroughbred
horses. There are over a hundred mag
nificently carved and gold illuminated
cages , dens and tableau floats. Each of
the thirty great sections in which the
parade is divided would be a lavish dis
play for any other circus. The proces
sion will leave the show grounds at ten
o'clock , and the route will be the usual
one over the principal downtown streets.
Do not miss it. It will be the spectacle
of a lifetime. The magnitude of the
parade will prepare the public in some
measure for the wonders of the exhibi
tion. And it is indeed a wonderful ex
hibition. Imagine a vast hippodrome
pavilion , with seats for 18,000 persons.
Fill this great amphitheatre with rings
and stages , and a bewildering maze of
aerial apparatus. Surround the rings
with a great fourth-mile racing track ,
and fill rings and stages , track and mid
air with an endless array of aerialists
and acrobats , riders and racers , all at
tired in the most beautiful silks and
cloth of gold , and each vicing with the
others in grace , dexterity and daring
imagine all this , and you will still fall
far short of the reality. The perform
ance opens with the beautiful patriotic
spectacle , "The Last Days of the Centu
ry , " a noble introduction to a noble
show. The arenic surprises that follow
include O'Brien's famous sixty-one horse
act ; three troupes of remarkably trained
elephants , embracing Lockhart's ele
phant comedians , Souder's sensational
elephant brass band and Marchand's
pugilistic proboscidians ; an international
horse exhibit , introducing beautifully-
effective high-class menage riding by
Mine. Ada Castello and Miss Allie Jack
son ; a complete company of aerial artists
headed by the great Fishers ; the world's
greatest possible acrobats , the incom
parable Da Comas ; a score of famous
bareback riders , including Michael and
John Rooney , Edward Shipp , Julia
Lowandle , Elena Ryland , Olga Reed
and Albert Crandall , whose sensational
act of equestrianism is performed upon
Lhe back of a mule ; and scores of others
equally famous. The menagerie is the j
Snest collection of rare wild animals to
be found within the boundaries of civili
sation , and the show in its entirety is a
evelalion of what managerial ability ,
Drogressive originality and unlimited
: apital can do in creating a great public
miuseuient.
Reserved numbered seats and adniis-
ions , show day , without any advance in
