The city council of Oelwein is
now, and has been for some time
past, considering the matter Of paw
ing seven or eight blocks of the
streets Of that city, and at the re-
quest of the council Attorney Geo.
II. Philips, who is large property
owner in the proposed paving dis
trict, spent Saturday here, examin-
ing the paving now being done here,
and obtaining information relating
thereto. Mr.. Philips was formerly
a resident of this city, but for the
past twenty five or thirty years has
been and now is resident of Del
vein. While here Mr.. Philips, who
is an old acquaintance, called upon
us and during our visit he told us
that he had thoroughly investigated
the merits of asphalt, brick and
block paving and is convinced that
block is the best, and will so report
to the council of his city.
Norris and Rowe's European
agent secured a top line act when,
upon visiting the Paris hippodrome
he secured for his employers, the
Groh's, family of six graceful
equilibrists. Upon pyramids, lad
ders and columns, this remarkable
family perform feats of skill and in
tricate maneuver that seem to ut
terly defy the laws of gravitation
and equilibrium. When the six
Groh's are performing together, it
makes bewildering display that
fairly dazzles the eye. In this
seasons performances Of Norris and
Rowe's Circus there will constantly
be three different acts always going
on at the same time. Interspersed
with the various acrobatic features,
will come the many new animal acts.
Prof. Norris, the famous trainer Of
wild and native animals promises
us something out of the ordinary in
this line. Norris and Rowe's ami
NAL acts have always proven of alb
sorbing interest, SO they can surely
be relied upon to furnish us with
some new thrills of startled wonder
and delight when they appear at
