THE LoMDoN CIRCUS.
A Grand Street Pageantry and Good
Show.

Cooper, Bailey & Co.'S Great London
circus arrived from Muscasine at an early
hour this morning. 1t was most exten
sively advertised 10 this vicinity and every
one for miles around knew it would be
here. The consequence was az incoming
of people from the surrounding district
such as has been seldom seen. About &c
O'Clock the parade moved through the
streets which were deDsely crowded By
those anxious to see the big show It was
q sight we'll worth seeing-the longest
most varied and best circus parade ever
seen 10 this city. It's unusual length, its
many attractions and its general excellence
won for it many favorable comments.
Therebwere ten elephants, one perched
upon high tableaux car, two drawing
chariots, two drawing an immense common
and five walking along. The camel and
pony teams also attracted much attention.
Animals were exposed Oh cage tops aud
there we're open dens Of wild animals.
Two bands furnished plenty Of good
music
The doors were open at and the per-

Of space forbids an extended notice of the
show, which is without doubt the best ever
seen in this city. The meuagerie is fine
one, containing many rare and celebrated
animals. The circus troupe is the largest
and best organized of any we have seen.
It gives splendid ring performance and
we'll deserves the immense patronage it is
receiving.
The electric light, a special show IN
itself, is kept burning during portion of
the day as well as night. 1t is worth the
admission alone and draws hundreds to
the show. The doors will be open at Z
this evening and tomorrow the show will
exhibit in Davenport.

week; that he was very much intoxicated
last evening; had eaten very little for
several days; that bis wife had been drunk
also, and that the two were helplessly
inebriated last night.
The jury returned verdict OF death

over to the county authorities for burial
