An Interesting Exhibition That is Show
ing In Rock Island.
The Oriental Carnival company's
shows, under canvas at the corner of
Fifth avenue and Twrnty-fourth
street. drew large crowds last night,
all expressing themselves as sur
prised with the magnitude and varie-
ty of the entertainment, which. drop
ping in on US SO suddenly, was
looked upon at a glance as quickly
gotten together affair. 1t is only JUS
tice to the management to say that
those who took it in were agIeeably
disappointed. The show will remain
tonight and tomorrow night, alter
which it will go to Milwaukee.
The feature of the carnival is the
animal collection. 1t would do credit
to much more pretentious organiza-
ton. The numerous animals are
grouped about in cages, presenting a
unique, neat and interesting picture.
Efficient trainers of both sexes enter
the cages and for fully a half hour
there follows series of performances
that are entertaining to the highest
degree, concluding with sensational
exhibition between Boccacio, train
er of worldwide repute, and an I'M
tamable lioness. Boccacio first enters
a safety cage, and after much effort
invariably succeeds in getting into
the den, at the door of which the
ugly beast stands and growls, aPpar-
ently intent on devouring the trainer
if she can get her claws on him. The
lioness makes vicious lunges at the
trainer, who jumps frem one side of
the cage to the other too quick for the
beast, and finally makes a hasty exit
from the den. 1t is a thrilling scene.
The other shows consist of Esau,
the snake eater, who was seen at the
Moline street fair last fall, and who
was later reported dead; Lunette. the
flying lady, hypnotic study under
the charge of Prof. Rockburn; the
cinematagraph; old plantation scenes;
opium den, and Turkish dancing
girls.
Dandy" the diving horse, is an
nounced to positively make his sensa-
tional dive of some thirty feet
from a platform into tank of water
on the show grounds tonight.

TO START NO. FROM HERE.
D., RI. s. n. w. Says IT Wants to Give
Rock Island q Fair Shake.


Ever since the D., r. l. & N. w.
railroad opened tor business there has
been disposition on the part of GER
tain of our neigh bors on the other side
of the stream to pre- judice the compa-
ny into giving Rock Island the
worst of it whenever it was possible
to do so. There are people here who
have felt, whether rightfully or not,
that this spirit was succeeding,
as witness the company's depot
among other things And then the
new time card that became effec-
tive Monday of this siweek, starts
train No from Davenport at noon
for Clinton and returns as No. at Top
M. cutting Rock Island, out entirely,
it being necessary for people from
this side wanting to travel out on that
train to go from here to Davenport by
street car or ferry boat, or walk. This
arrangement was looked upon by pat
rons of the road here as discrimina-
ton against Rock Island. However,
the assurance comes from General Pas
senger Agent l.. +. Berry that the
company in starting No. from the
other side of the river had no thong bit
of acting unfairly toward Rock Island.

to an ARGUS reporter. "Our COM
pany has been treated we'll over there
and we do not propose that Rock ISL

ages enjoyed by other towns on our
route. We have three trains out of
Rock Island daily for Clinton, and
supposed that was enough to accom-
modate you folks, but we have dis
covered that we guessed wrong, and
1 suppose we will begin shortly to
start No. from your side"
Rock Island people will keep their
eyes on No. A.
Mr.. Berry stated further that the |

interest at per cent from October.
1896.
The plaintiff sued for the payment of
81, 900 Insurance on a building burned
in Gallup last year. The defendant
first set up the claim that the build
Ing was burned by the connivance OF
the plaintiff, but evidence introduced
on this point being insufficient to inn
piicate the plaintiff, the court ruled
out the testimony. The second point
made by the defense was that the
building had been vacant for more
than 10 days previous to the fire, which
the plsintifr answered that the build
ing had not been vacant 10 days and
during the days It had been vacant a
watchmdn had been provided.
The defendant further alleged that
the plaintiff failed TO furnish within
the proper time proof OF the fire. Tn,
plaintiff introduced testimony to show
that the adjuster from the company
was In the city a few days after the
FIRE and had been furnished with the
required poot The defendant further
set up that the plaintiff had year
previous to the fire been served with
notice that the policy on the building
had been reduced to three-fourths the
amount agreed upon In the original
contract, The plaintiff answered that
he had received no notice OF such
change and II he had received such
notice, the original contract would not
have been affected thereby, The defen-
dant also claimed that the plaintiff, as
agent OF the company, had misreDre-
scented the value OF the building in such
a manner as to secure far too high
policy.
