A "REMINISCENCES.

Last evening, Mr.. Warner, one of the
contracting agents for the Barnum, Lon
don combined shows arrived in this city
to make the necessary arrangements for
the coming of that monster organization
on the 29th of the present month.
He stated that his first experience with a
show was gained in this city. thirty odd
years ago, and the mode of advertising, then
in general use, is striking contrast to the
complicated system now in vogue,
Mr.. Warner said that he arrived in Rock
Island in 1850. coming down the river on
a raft from Galena. He put up at the old
Rock Island House, frame structure To-
Gated about the corner now occupied by
the present hotel bearing that name.
While standing out in front of the frame
bull ling, man drove up in a buggy
and asked to see the landlord. That
individual stepped to the door, when the
person in the buggy informed him that he
was the agent for the Mabie Circus and
Menagerie, and desired to make arrange
ments for the coming of that show the
next week. The agent reached down in
the seat of the vehicle and drew forth
some blank contracts, which were then and
there signed for the care of the troupe,
horses, billing. license and other details of
the show.
The buggy also contained small bills,
upon which the agent in blue pencil made
A. x~ff1 hes
bills were hung up in this city. one in the
hotel, another in livery stable on 18th
street, patronized by farmers; and third
was put up in a butcher shop. This
finished the billing, and in less than half
an hour the advance agent was on the
way to the next town visited by the show.
In those days one man did the whole
business before the show, while the ad
vance brigade of the Barnums show the
present season aggregates CO persons, who
exclusive of the expenses of the show
proper, require an outlay daily of $4,000 |
FOR their salary and paper.
The advance business or Advertising |
n the early days only preceded the shows
coming by about seven days or two weeks, |
While at the present time Barnums advance
agents are four months ahead of the show
The contrast of the existing system with
hat in vogue thirty years ago will be evil
lent to even casual reader, and the in
;reased patronage becomes necessity in
'rder that the great expense incident to
he nrnc6Ot SvSfam can hR nvaroofne hV

DROWNED.

The Peoria Journal has the following
concerning the drowning of George Fable
at that city last Wednesday evening:
George Fable, man employed to unload
lumber from the boat at the levee, under
took to go in swimming He was good
swimmer and was padding around in deep
water when all at once he sank. A boat
was procured and search was made for the
body. 1t was at last found and Coroner
Powell summoned. A verdict was found
in accordance with these facts. He had
been taken with eramp, probably. Fable
was stranger here, and lived in Rock
Island.

fast. Waterpille is passed at $40; and
here, IL desired, days fishing may be had,
which lovers OF the sport will remember
for long time. As the evening train to
Minneapolis passes at $50 p. m, a good
day may be had. and Minneapolis reached
the same evening. In this way, those whose
time is limited or who want to make the
most of pleasure trip, may, by using the
night for travel. have the day for pleasure,
either at Water silleAor Minne4 polls; and as,
returning. leaving Minneapolis at four in
the evening. Rock Island is reached at
eight the next morning, with the benefit of
sleeper, reclining chair and dining car for
breakfast. the advantage is a double one.
It is expected that this arrangement will
be preferred by most people; but for those
who wish to travel by daylight. this line is
equally desirable. In the morning train,
leaving here at $50 a. NJ, Il through car
has been placed, which runs to Minneapo-
lis without any change whatever. Break
fast may be enjoled on the splendid dining
car of the Rock Island road, and after a
safe, and easy ride, at the rate of twenty
two miles per hour, through the most fer
lille portion of Iowa and Minnesota, Mime
apolis is reached at nine ia the evening.
Returning, leaving Minneapolis at 6:45 in
the morning, Rock Island is reached at
9:25 the same evening, with supper in the
dining car. Another fact worth noting is
that, taking the train Saturday evening,
via West Liberty and Albert Lea Mime
apolis is reached Sunday morning at the
same time as on other days.
This is fair representation of what the
Albert Lea route offers;-its depot is on
direct; and it has made round trip rate
to Minneapolis as announced of, SO.
