Ready to Bum RomeEverythingIs Ready at

StadiumNero will fiddle and Rome will

»• iurn tonight.Everything is ready for the

greatest spectacular attractionever staged in the Northwest, or,in fact, in the whole country.

And probably never before hasthere been such a crowd.

Of 20,000 tickets sent to Seat-I tie alone over half had been sold

Saturday, and a call for more.Every boat on the sound will bel>ut in service and every extra in-terurban car.

"If we don't have 50.000 peo-ple from the outside I will missmy guess," said one committee-man today.

Get Tickets Karly.All of which means that Taco-

*\u25a0 mans had better be sure to gettickets down town and not takethe risk of a jam at the gate.

The rain Saturday night puttilings in tip-top shape lor the bigevent. The dust was all laidthoroughly, and everything waswashed clean as a pin. All thepainting was done in oil, so the\u25a0water just added to its beauty bycleaning up the canvas.

The track for the chariot racesIs simply superb.

All the fireworks are on theground, and the army of gladia-tors, athletes, soldiers, populaceand dancers are drilled to perfec-tion.

Much inquiry has been madeof the committee as to whichwould be the better night to go—tonight or tomorrow night.

Outsiders Here Tonight.As a matter of fact, the specta-

cle will be the same. But the out-of-town crowd will be there to-night. All along the line fromPortland to Vancouver, B. C,word comes that hundreds andthousands are headed this way.

» Every train and boat this morn-* ing was loaded and it looks like

another overflow at the Stadium.This means that spectators willhave a chance to again see whata crowd of 50,000 looks like, athing there was some misgivingafter the July show lest it mightnot, occur again.

And under the glare of thatmighty conflagration when Romeburns the crowd tonight will bea sight that is seen but once in alifetime.

; He Loved Wife."I know of no reason why she

should have been nnhappy," heBald. "I had told her all aboutmy relations with Beulah Binfofyi.

Deattte admitted, \u25a0 however,that he resumed relations withBeulah at ..Norfolk .without hiswife's knowledge. He describedthe two dayn spent there, and hebade her good-bye forever.'

"I tried to save her from a lifeof shame," the defendant assert-ed. She was not the first one Ihad tried to help."

Asked If he had not planned tosupport the girl and furnish up aflat for her, Beattie replied: *Furnished (lie Flat.
