BUSY DAY IS AHEAD
IN CITY AND STATE.
Americas Voter Has Double
Duty.
OF CITY OFF GALS
Comb ned With Presidential Election
Will Furnish interest for AII-Polls
Open at City Hall and Courthouse
for the Two Elections.

It has been long while since the
able AmerIcus voter has been called
upon to perform the double duty ex-
pected of him today, that OF electing a
president of the United States and at
the same time electing a Mayor of
Americas and other city officials.
B he will rise mai sstically to the
situation and do both.
Parker and Hawkins head the re-
spective tickets which will be voted
here today, and it is hoped that both
will ''iand" safely, the one in the
White House and the other in the City
Hall
For Americus will vote for both with
wellnigh equal enthusiasm
The city primary will, of course, mo
nopolize local interest to a degree, bu
after the voter deposits his ballot fol-
mayor, aldermen, clerk and polio,
commissioners at the city hall he mus
shift to the courthouse and do as mucl
for Parker, DAVIS and Lewis.
There were no changes in the situa
ton, locally, yesterday
All the candidates for the city office
are still in line and happy on the wa,
to success, they hope. A large vot
will be polIed today, the two election
bringing out all the faithful.
Interest in the presidential election
today is at high pitch, aud increases a.
Parker stock goes up. Many are Their,
here who predict democratic success
and the news that comes tonight from
the doubtful state will be received witt
the greatest tvdity in Americas.
At the courthouse the polls will oper
at a. NJ and close at 6 p. m. In thu
city primary the hours for voting ar.
from 8 m to 4 p. m.

MULTITUDE CAME TO AMERlcus
Greatest Crowd in Years Thronsed
Streets.

That yesterday was ''circus day" in
Americus was a fact apparent to the
least observant one making up the
multitude here. Not in years has. such
crowd filled the streets, and the
scene presented was one of greatest in
terest to onlookers. The country wag-
ons, buggies and other vehicles with
their human cargoes began to pour in
by sunrise, and by or s O'Clock the
streets were lined with thousands of
people already waiting for the parade.
Nearly all the trains coming into the
city yesterday morning carried extra
cargoes, and such crowds are seldom
brought to this city, even on circus
day. The crowds poured down Jackson
street and Cotton avenue from the de-
pots TO the city in one solid stream,
completely filling the sidewalks. This
procession was almost continuous for
two or three hours. While the show
brought thousands of people to the city,
there was practically no disorder, the
police department maintaining splen-
did order The crowds were good-na-
tured and the day passed off very
smoothly.

CIRCUS is HERE IN
ALL OF ITS GLORY.
And Multitude is Delighted
With Show.
EVEN GREATER THAN PROMISED
Thousands Throne the Vast Canvas
Amphiteatre and Enjoy the Thrift
ing Crowd in Town the
Largest In Years.

The great john Robinson circus de-
lighted Americus yesterday and, as ex-
pected, attracted here vast multitude
of sightseers who thronged the streets,
circus bent, and enjoyed the day and
occasion as only circus crowd can
Fully ten thousand ou'-oF-town folks
were here.
And thousands of these crowded the
big tent day and night
The reputation of the John Robinson
show is so firmly established that none
doubted in advance the genuineness of
the promises made, and not one here
was disappointed.
In fact, the show was even better
than many had expected.
The big street parade, both long and
good, was viewed by teeming thous-
ands, every window and balcony along
the route being crowded The big
open dehs of animals, the bands of mu-
sic and the hundred of other interest
ing features all added vastly to the
splendid pageant, one of the best ever
seen in Americus
And more than half the multitude
witnessing the street parade saw the
circus as we'll
In the main tent the performance
opened with an oriental spectacle styl-
ed "King Solomon and the Queen of
Sheba." King Solomon wore set of
Jo-Jo whiskers and did some panto-
mime work that was much like a Chi
nese puzzle.
The spectacle ended with ballet of
thirty-two girls. Handsome costumes
and pleasing motions made the feature
big hit.
The performance was so repiete with
good features that it is difficult to emu
merate those which were specially en-
PERTAINING or striking Needless to say,
the feat of Mephisto when he Topped
the-loop in his automobile, made the
greatest possible hit
The trained elephants were very
clever The tFapeze work was of the
usual daring and thrilling variety, many
of the equestrian feats were remarka.
BILE and the grand horse race was as
thrilling test of speed as one could
wish to see.
The entire show was strictly up-to-
date and as good a performance as
ever seen in Americus. There was
something doing" at all three of the
big rings all the time, while numerous
specialties on the side afforded amuse-
ment and laughter to those who might
not be interested in the regular ring
performances.
The trained seals was a wonderful
feature of the splendid performance.
The acrobatic feats were up to the
standard, and the flying scroba.s won
applause from the big audience for
their really daring feats.
The Robinson circus has often visit
ed Americas in years past, but this
time it is better and greater than ever
before. With it's many spectacular
features, splendid menageri eand world
of minor attractions it makes up one
of the greatest shows under canvas
and delighted thousands here.
The big show pulled out this morn
ing for Montezuma, where 1t exhibits
to-day.

HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.
When 1t Is Free of DandruR, 1t Grows
LuxurfantIy.

Fair preparations and dandruff cures,
as a rule, are sticky or irritating affairs
that do no earthly good. Hair, when not
diseased. grows naturally, luxuriantly.
Dandruf is the cause of nine-tenths OF
all hair trouble, and dandruff is caused
by germ. The only way to cure dand-
ruff is to kill the germ and, so far, the
only hair preparation that will positively
destroy the germ is Newbro's Herpicide-

sediment, dye matter or dangerous drugs

Brick & Tile company, located at
Buffalo, was sold yesterday after
noon at sheriff's sale from the court
house steps. The plant has been idle
for some time and the sale was made
in order that the stockholders might
reorganize. The plant was bought in
by the Davenport Brick company for
the sum of $50. 900. The new company
viii shortly be incorporated and will
resume the operation of the plant.
The new company Will be composed of

The articles of incorporation of the
John F. Kelley company have been
filed with the recorder. The articles
state that the object of the incorpora-
ton is the dealing in wholesale gro
ceries and spices. The incorporators
are J. F. Kelley, W. F. Kelley, r. c.

The total valuation of property in
Scott county has been finished in the
office of County Auditor Ed Berger.
In general the report shows de-
crease as compared with last year, al
though personal property is shown to
be higher The total valuation of the
lands in the county is $16,271 400. Lots
are worth So, POS, ,995. New buildings
are worth S621 ,945. The total of per-
sonality is S19,349,O20 Adding the new
buildings to personality, an increase
is shown over last year.
Whereas, 1t is apparent to every
one interested in the State University
of Iowa that the institution is not
prospecting as it should; and. whereas,
we believe this is largely due to the
methods of the president in his man
agement as executive and in his fail
ure to maintain the respect and conf
dence of the faculty; and, whereas,
we believe the present relations be-
tween the faculty and the president
are positively injurious to the institu-
ton, and growing worse each year;
and, whereas, we learn that eminent
members of the faculty are likely to
resign unless a change is made; and,
whereas, we think the university
should receive greater financial sup
port from the Legislature and greater
moral support from its alumni if it
had another and more competent
president; therefore, be it. resolved,
by the alumni of the city of Daven-
port, that we hereby appeal to the
board of regents and earnestly peti-
tion them to select a new president of
the institution; and, be it further re-
solved, that a copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to the board by our sec
retary." The above resolutions were
adopted at meeting of so alumni of
the state university, held in the rooms
of the Davenport Business Mems asso-
| citation last evening.
