NAT REISS'S PLANS
Bevy of Trained Eagles Will Perform
 at Carniual Tonight.

The carnival progresses in its splen- dor and no unpleasant or unfortunate incidents have yet been reported. Hundreds of townspeople are on the grounds every night and other hun dreds are there from the surrounding country. The excursion rates on the railroads are bringing many from the south side and an excursion is an- nounced from Florence. The big free shows are given twice daily, thus far without accident, though they are haZ- ardous and awe-inspiring. Especially is this true of Philion's spiral tower act, which is a magnificent display of fireworks as well as a feat of 'extraor- dinary daring and skill.
 Tonight everything will be under the auspices of the Eagles and it is expect ed there will be lively scenes on the grounds Announcement was made yesterday morning of a long list of To- cal artists who are to add to the Iuster of the occasion. The list was publish ed on the authority of some of the ar lists themselves, and if they fail to do the feats advertised it will not be the fault of The Republican or of MT. Reiss, who will, however, have the paid professionals on hand to help out If the amateurs should slip a cog or lose their trolley.
 Incidentally it is of interest to an- nounce something of Mr. Reiss' plans for the future and his reason for con- ducting an amusement enterprise that no fault can be found with. He is yet a young man and has his fortune and future to make. He is only now get ting his carnival enterprise into the shape he has long desired and he pro- poses to make a name for it that will be a synonym for the best there is In the show business. He desires to make the enterprise @ permanent one With the entire west as his field. In order to do this he expects to have only clean shows and good shows. He says that if he is given the support Of the people he will give the people each year the newest attra actiOns and tte best ones that money can get in the world.
 His purpose is to make annually each town on a certain prescribed circuit. advertise himself we'll in advance and if possible. cooperate with the people I'll making his arrival a municipal event that will annually be expected and anxicuslv awaited Both In Albuquer- que and Fl Paso the business men or ganized q local association which agreed that hereafter they would dis pense with their previously conducted municipal carnivals and cooperation with other travelling congregations that come only when they happen to. On the arrival of MT Reiss they will CO., operate with him in the way of sub scrIptions for advertising purposes and bill the surrounding country thorough ly, making a weeks feature that vii draw thousands from the smaller towns to the larger metrCpolises. MT. Reiss says he desires hereafter to make but one stop Tn Arizona and he would like to make that stop in Phoenix. He would like to cooperate with the peo- pie through a local organization that would handle all the local funds col lected. Nearly every city at some time of year has a fiesta or carnival of soma sort, and he believes that by having ft ContempOraneously with his coming. fy the merchants spending just a little bit of money show can be given that will draw people from all over the ter rltory. He would be willing to donate the services of capable men t. assis. the local organization in it's work, knowing that it would be for the r1u- tual benefit of all.
 It was very largely that reason that prompted him to show this season on lot by himself when he found there was some objection to the street fair. He wanted to demonstrate that his az greGatiOn was worthy Of confidence. and that if his shows were not wanted on the street they were worth going eff the street to see. He has this season much larger. more expensive and better show than when he was here a little over year ago and he promises that if he is well supported and CO., operated with he will improve his ex- hibition on the same ratio annually as the years go by.
