Yesterday morning daWned rather
cold and chilly, although the vast
spread of canvass on the bluff at the
foot of Monison street announced to
the crowd of eXpectant observers
that at last w. w. Coles Great New
York and New Orleans Circus, Men.
agerie, Museum, Egyptian Caravan,
Aquarium, Aviary, School of Gym
nasia and Trained Animal EXPOSE
ton of Wonders was here. Some
were led to expect that the street
parade would not be seen in all its
glory but nature smiled, and at last
the clouds cleared away. and as the
bright sun poured down it shone
on The handsomest street display that
any exhibition ever made in the
streets of our city, The principal
streets through which the procession
passed were blockaded with specta-
tors who were evidently amazed at
the long line ofgold and glitter, ban
ners, flags and curiosities. Conklin's
open den performing lions was one
of the principal features, while the
Hindoo Iinga in his plate glass den
of writhing serpents, the chariot of
Neptune and the steam organ were
also extremely handsome and attrac-
tive. The display was unexpectedly
excellent, and was an indication of
the delightful performances which
were witnessed in the afternoon and
evening by vast crowds of sightscers,
completely filling the large tents of
the concern. The Menagerie is a
costly collection of rare and splendid
animals, and one where the student
ofzoOlOgy can pass hours pleasantly
and profitably.
Mr.. Cole introduces rare curiosity
the mermaid or woman fish, eat
ing and drinking,under water in such
a way as to almost lead one to believe
she was amphibious.
This exhibition is something which
every one should see, and seeing, be
delighted. Mr.. Cole has exhibited a
gseat deal of energy in putting such
an elegant show on the road, and an
appreciation oIwhat the people want
these hard times by reducing his
prices to the nominal sums of fifty
and twenty-five cents. After two
more exhibitions here he will journ-
ey through Mississippi, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, ETC.,
and there give our rural brethren q
chance Of enjoying the rare treat
which he has presented us here. In
fact, every point was complete and
thorough in finish and detail

A sound mind in a sound body is
Il prime essential to all intellectual
and material success, and the close
sympathy between the mind and
body should compel us to keep the
one pure and tranquil as well as to
maintain the other active and
healthy. Perverted functional
efforts injure the body and react up
on the mind bunting its faculties
and feelings; especially does Con-
stipation produce most dangerous
effects, bodily and mentally, and this
harsh, eXacting habit OF body should
be broke by the judicious and con.
tinued use of Keller's Vegetable
Life Drops. Sold by all Druggists.

It Was True.

Last week, telegram from Iowa City,
detailing the abuse offered Mrs. Geo. Wat
son by rufians on railroad train between
Davenport and Iowa City, was published in
this paper; also an article from the Iowa
City Press giving the facts more at length.
Last evening the Press said:

Saturday night; Mrs, Watson and himself are now
staying with his parents in the country,near Tiin

case, as Inflammation is rapidly affecting the whole
limb,
The Union of Sunday morning, adopt
ing the embarrassing story of the train
men, undertook to deny the abuse and
pronounced the whole affair fiction of
disordered brain" Last evening, during
a pleasant hours chat, at the Harper
House, with a circle of gentlemen, that mat
ter was brought up, and gentleman con-
nected with large iron house in Pitts,
burg said that he had inquired into the
matter on the train and at Iowa City, and
that the statements ofabuse were all true,
as published. He felt an interest in in
quiring because he personally knows Mr.
Watson and several of his friends; and he
says that Watson is man of means, as also
are his friends, and that the matter will
probably be sifted to the bottom, unless
settled. The Pittsburg gentleman laughs
at the idea that Mrs. Watson has "a dis
ordered BRAIN" and says she is s
cool, clear headed intelligent lady.
If the Union wants any, informa
ption let it consult Mr.. NJ, G. Follett, form
lterly of Moline, but now railway posta
clerk on the road between Davenport and
DesMoines, That the train men failed
to protect this lady as was their duty
is true. The Iowa trains are infested will

and the public believe the train men art
in collision with them, and the train mel
cannot change that belief except BY rid
