Mora In a.
The circus Is here.
Long-heralded, Rlnglltig Bro ' shows
arrived In Omaha from Fremont this
morning for a Sunday holiday and one
whole Joyous day of elephants and pink
lemonade.
The first of the four clrcu trains
reached the Northwestern railroad yard
before dawn. As fast as the section ar
rived they were shunted onto sidings at
fourteenth and Nicholas street. There
the unloading took place and a continu
ous cavalcade of wsgons, red and golden
chariots and ail the rainbow trappings
of Hpangletuwn wended Its way from the
tracks to th Twentieth snd Paul streets
show grounds.
Prartercd rroupi of youngsters and
thoeo grorvn-UDl Who are alwara Peter
Pans when the circus cornea to town were
on hand when tho first train pulled In
noar the viaduct. Tbi-v watched nrf
marveled at the precision of the unloading
prock There was neither lost time nor
reotlon tn getting the vast show equip
ment from the cars to the show grounds.
The grinding brakes of the incoming
trains seemed ss signals. The Interior of
sleepers wis aatlr In a twinkling. Men
rubbed their eves, stretched their llmha
ana tumbled from the cars, each going
about hl.i appointed work without hci.
tsnry or doubt.
Mart fir the (irusnili.
Then cam the procession through th
streets. And there Is always that peculiar
something about the neighing of the
hotees, the deep rumble of th wagon
wheels end the clanking of the hsroess
which every community lilies to hear nt
least once a year and which affects one
with that Indescribable longing for tha
white tenU which, for want of a better
phraae, I culled "red wagon fever."
At th old clrcu grounds the scene Is
one of methodical turmoil. Mon empty
huge wagons and begin pitching the din
ing and cook tents and stables. One mam
moth affair on wheel opens Its side and.
oenota: there I a twelve-foot range,
which twenty minutes later ha been fired
and la alive with slsxllng egg and bacon.
Another wagon discloses a mammoth
boiler that as quickly emits steam which,
carried to Immense caldrons by means of
hose, Is merrily boiling potatoes or turn
ing cold water and Java Into piping hot
coffee. In the meantime the dining tents
have been placed, vast table have been
laid with cloth and service, and, presto!
all the people of the first train section
r seated at breakfast for all the world
Ilka soma great plcnlo party.
Menaarerle Ten Goes
By this hour th entire drmia vwtnnAa
are alive with men. The mniiapu .
had begun to go Into the air and likv j
wise the giant pole which will tomorrow
support th mammoth main tent that Is 1
to house the spectacle of "Solomon and
the Queen of Bheba" and all the wonders '
of th Rlngltng Brothers' arenlo perform- !
ances. Thla canvas Is aald to be the 1
largest ever tised by a traveling organise- I

today will wait In vain to see It erected
for It la not needed until. Monday and I
in mngimgs aiwaya make It a point to
curtil work on Sunday that their work- I
Ing men may have as much of a holiday !
a possible. But the absence of this par
ticular feature will not greatly disappoint
thla morning' crowd. Rig, beautiful
horses driven In team of four, eight and ,
even twelve claim much attention as .
they draw the big costume van and the
BCOreS of heaW animal liana Int.. th. ...
"soologlcal circle" which conatltutee the

"NO APPETITE"
DID YOU SAY
Then your stomach and digestive or
gans must indeed be in bad condition,
but don't bo alarmed.
Loss of appetite is always the
first signal of inward weakness, of a
lazy liver, clogged bowels. It should
bo given immediate attention so as to
ward off a more serious illness.
The timely use of
'HOSTETTER'S
Stomach Bilkers
has proven very beneficial as an appetite
restorer, aid to digestion and preventive of
indigestion, heartburn, nausea,biliousness,

MILLIONS OF RABBITS A YEAR
Growth of a Peat la Tasmania that
Has Created m Sertoes
Problem.
As in other states In Australia, the
problem of dealing with the rabbit pest
haa been slven considerable attention by
farmers and pastorallsts In Tasmania fori
som time.
The matter wa taken up by the Farm
ers' and Stockowners' association - at a
recent meeting of the council of that body.
Among other things It was stated that
information had been collected bearing
upon the trade in rabbit skin In this
state. The figures Indicated that not less
than B.000.CO9 skins were exported from
Tasmania each year, the value of which
was under $230,000.
As poison was also generally used for
destroying the pest, it was quite safe to
assume that as many more were killed,
making the death roll equal to 10,000.000.
Adding to that at least 2,000,000 left at
the end of each winter to breed again, the
conclusion was arrived at that the lands
of the state were growing every year
12,000,000 rabbits.
Taking these figure as a basis and al
lowing fifteen rabbits to consume a much
grass as one sheep, It waa computed that
the rabbit waa occupying the place of
800,000 sheep, or. In other words, taking
up about one-third of the lands, for which
the state received under 1250,000, as
against the value of 900,009 sheep, which
would not be less than 11,600,000 at a low
estimate. New lork Sun.
