ious fact that the Barnum ST. Bailey
show Is the one show in America to
introduce all the novelties, nc matter
what the expense may be. In the new
parade will be seen twenty-nlne new
and gorgeous floats, which, while not
exactly patented, are amply protected,
against copying or duplication by any
one even if 1t We're not deferred by
the enormous expense involved IN the
construction. One of these huge al
fairs is drawn by one team OF forty
beautifully matched horses Then
there is a remarkable exhibit 0f all the
types of war ships used In our navy.
This exhibit consists of eleven minla-
ture vessels, built according to scale,
and are as complete as human ingen-
uity and skill can make them. So true
is this that they have been Endorsed
by the navy department at WaNhlngtoh
from whom the copies of the original
plans of the vessels We're obtained by
special permission. They represent the
warships SO minutely that nor even
bolt, nut or pulley is absent from the
models, and, exhibited in huge glass
cases, make one Of the most interesting
features ever shown to the public.
Space forbids more than a passing
mention of the myriad new features
to be seen with the Barnum X Bailey
shows this year, all of which are of
such high order of merit, SD intrin-
scally valuable, that the show can only
be classed among the leading educa-
tiona institutions Of the world, and s
raised to a plane far ad beyond mere
circus exhibition. 1t will be here on

TEA MEN ARE UPHELD
Supreme Court Decides That
Their Statesmen Need

courage Legitimate 6usiness-sales-
men Can Take Orders Without Pay
ing License In Every Town.

Tea and coffee dealers, recently or
ganized for the purpose of resisting APP
plication of the peddlers' license law
to their business, are jubilant over a
recent decision of the Iowa supreme
court, which appears in full In the last
number OF the Northwestern Reporter.
1t is now firmly established by this
decision and that of Chief Justice
tea and coffee statesmen have the
right in Iowa to take orders and de-
liver goods without paying tax to
each local municipality in WIZ h they
happen to be doing business.
Iir brief, the decision places this
business upon the same legal basis AS
the regular wholesale houses of the
city. The decision Is in the case of City
of Waukon VS.. Fisk, and the opinion
is by Hon. S. NJ. Weaver, Justice, for
mery judge in this judicial district.
The defendant, one Fisk, was arrested
in the mayors court of the city OF
Waukon, under a transient merchants
ordinance, and fined. The supreme
court holds that Fisk was not a tram
silent merchant, as he had no store.
carried no merchandise delivered no
merchandise, and had no title to any
merchandise; but merely took orders
and collected pay. The court further
holds that the legislature did not intend
to ciothe cities with authority to in
graft new, strange and arbitrary mean-
ing on words" and that the evil intend
ed to be covered by the statute was
the class of dealers who establish them
selves with a stock of goods in town for
few days, and then move on. The case
Of Cedar Falls VS.. Gentzler, which case
has been SO relied upon by supporters
of the law, is distinguished and held
to have no application to cases where
the salesman did not own the goods,
but merely took orders for another.
Mr.. sinclair of the Sinclair Tea and
Coffee Company, of this City. AMI
president of the Iowa Retail Tea
and Coffee Mems Association, is very
much gratified by the decision. as 1t is
believed by him and his attorneys that
the decision will be generally accepted
as final by the municipalities OF the
state. and that their officers will not
take the chances of arresting his sales
men, thereby subjecting themselves to
liability not only for costs. but the

A Lot Of New Patent Features Which
Mark Great Strides In the Business.
The Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show
on Earth presents it's patrons With Il
long desired convenience, and is the
only show doing so. Everybody who
has had seat in the circus, not re-
served seat knows how uncomfortable
and fatiguing it is to sit for several
hours without place to rest the feet.
and no matter how interesting the per-
Torrance may have been, a sense of
WEAKNESS was sure TO be felt, owing
to the want of place TO rest the feet
This serious objection has happily been
overcome, and Barnum Bailey
have now provided an ample foot rest
for every one of the $4,000 In their CIR

and pleasure of their friends and pat
rons, and causing all to better appre-
ciate the wonderful performances. Then

A RURAL MAIL KICK.
Rural Residents Of South Part Of
County Are Not Satisfied.

County Are NOT SatlSnco.
Editor Times Republican: l wish to
complain about our rural mail service,
which is not satisfactory at all. ! have
heard that the influence of Congress-
man Cousins was secured by the Laurel
postmaster to have all of this part OF
the county served from Laurel. but 1t
was a mistake. AS it is we don't get
our mail more than half the time when
the carrier does come, and he doesn't
leave Laurel until about noon. The fact
Is the mail arrives at Laurel on a
freight train, from the south. which Is
due at Laurel about II o'clock, but sell
dom arrives on time. If it is delayed
till afternoon the carrier leaves without
our mail or our daily papers and we
have to wait until the afternoon Of the
next day. This kind of service may
suit politicians, but it doesn't suit us.
We think that the department should
deliver mail to this part of the county
from Haverhill or Ferguson, which are
on the main line of the Milwaukee
road and receive mail regularly at an
early hour in the morning. About sixty
of us on this route have signed petit
ton asking for n change. but we don't
get a hearing. If Laurel would get its
mail by rural carrier from Haverhill.
the Laurel carriers could leave before
o'clock in the morning and we would
get better service.
