| Big as is the Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers menagerie, circus and
hippodrome consolidation, to appear
in Rock Island June %. it is exceed
ugly well balanced in the way of en-
tertainment suited to all requirements
and tastes. While there is more than
enough to widen the eyes and to make
the nerves Jingle. the development of
the risible muscles has not been over
looked or sighted, and aside from
the amphibious and many wild and
domestic beast comedians, there are
full 25 of the brightest. funniest and
most versatile clowns that James A.
Bailey could find in foreign fields, or
our own side of the world furnish.
No other show was ever equipped with
anything like such an array of mad
caps, and the feast of fat fun they
have furnished to enormous audi
ences in both Madison Square garden
and under the mammoth circus tent
has had much to do with the extraord-
mary popularity and success of the
big show. The extraordinary and hi
larious harmony of their famous
"Soo-see Band; their phenomenal
champion games of baseball, football
and golf; their amazing prize fights;
their bicycle, skating and other rivtd-
ries; their limitations of noted aero
batic acts; their mishaps and misun-
derstandipgs; their presentations of
fashionable freaks and fools, and their
hits at Vanity Fair are the talk of the
times. They are merry ministers to
long life and happiness, everywhere
welcomed with glee and gladness.
The lovers of educated dogs and
horses of Rock Island and vicinity
will have an opportunity of witness
ing one of the finest equine exhibi.
tions ever held in this city. Prof.

Thrilling Experience of Mr.. f F
Waldrop.

Special to The State.
Greenwood, Feb 16-Mr. f F
WaIdrop had thrilling experience
yesterday. In attempting to
cross Saluda river, nine miles
from here, he drove into water
deeper than he expected TO find.
Owing to tho recent rnins the
river was greatly swollen and
was some distance out from the
banks. A few feet from the
bridge his horse became entangled
in some brushes and plunged into
the water about ten feet deep.
Mr.. Waldrop cut the harness
from the buggy and endeavored
to catch the horses tail and he
pulled to the shore, but he missed
his aim. The horse swan safely
to the banks, while the buggy WAS
washed down stream. MIR. Wal.
drop endeavored to swing on to
the buggy but the current was too
strong sor him and he was carried
by the force of the stream down
the river. He tried to swim but
his clothes all wet and heavy
would not permit him He got
upon a raft made of accumulated
sticks, but soon this gave way.
He called for assistance till his
bI cath was gone. He finally
reached an ash tree; he tried to
climb this but the tree had no
limbs on it and he could only lift
his head out of the water. With
his arms around tho tree and
head barely out of the water, he
stayed in this precariouS and
painful position for fully four
houls. Some negroes found him
and after a long time succeeded
in making a boat and bringing
him safe ashore. The horse was
found safe on the adjoining bank
while the buggy was found some
two miles down the river. Mr..
Waldrop is now resting after the
tight squeeze which he has gone
through.
