THE CIRCUS TRAINS

Prncess-children to See SIGHTS.

When big circus visits the city
there is always more or less interest
conferred in the unloading, which is a
80 always sought by the children,
enjoyed by many grown people
fdmaster Higham, of the Central,
had the yard cleared of all cars
possible and is in good shape to handle
the big circus into the city. Fair
weather is promised for tomorrow, and
If it is an ideal day, the prospects are
that Marshalltown will entertain the
biggest crowd of TIE season.
There will be fol'ee 5cus trains, and
according to tR schedSsy.-pow
planned the frs will arrives so'-
clock and the last at s. The frsSa "A
to reach Marshalltown from Oskaloosa
Is the one bearing the animals that
compose the big menagerie. While
this comes first it is the last to unload,
and it is not likely circus employees will
commence on it until about s. or a little
after. The second train will bring i'll
the horses and tent wagons, which will
be unloaded first, in order that the
canvas city on East Main street may be
built as soon as possible. The third
train is expected at 4:s0 and the last
one at 5.
Superintendent William l. Crane, of
the public schools, who, has given or
ders for the dismissal Of school after
a short session Tuesday morning, has
requested as many Of the teachers as
possible to take the children of Their
rooms to see the circus unload. Mr..
Crane considers the educational value
of such mammoth business enter
prise we'll worth a trip to the railroad
