Are Arriving and Will be Comfortably
Handled on Both River
and Rail During the
Week.
KEoKUK REvERsEs RUN
keokuk viii Return Down Stream
This Evening and viii Reverse
Her Run All During
the Week.

AS soon as the steamer Keokuk
reaches here at 9 o'clock tonight she
will run off all freight ard land all
passengers for this place, then take
on local freight for down river points
between here and Quincy.
The steamer will leave here at
about 10 o'clock and make the run
back to Quincy and arrive there
at 1880, giving the members OF the
crew only few hours sleep as she
leaves from Quincy for this point at
1890
This reversed run will continue all
through the street fair and immense
crowds are expected to be handled by
the pretty new Keokuk- Quincy packet.
The boat will leave Quincy each
morning at 1880 and will arrive here
at 1 O'Clock giving the Illinois and
Missouri towns on the river between
here and Quincy an opportunity of
witnessing the afternoons perform
ances.
The tickets sold will be good for
round trip and the holder will be able
to return any day during the fair, for
only small amount.
Stops are to be made at LAGRANGE,
Canton, Gregory, Alexandria and War
saw and no doubt the boat will do her
share in bringing the people to the big
fair,
Other Roads.
The Eloise will attend to the crowds
between here and Burlington and al
though she will not reverse her run as
the Keokuk is going to do, she will do
good business and it is thought that
rates can be secured from her man
ayers.
| Excursions from Dallas, FIT. Madison
and probably Burlington will be run
| during the next FIVE days.
The railroads running into the city
will be ready to handle the large
crowds and the K & W. is expected
to do big business as Keokuk people
We're good patronizers of the late fairs
and chautauquas along that line The
T. P. & w. will also bring Illinois
| people to the fair as well as the Wa
bash and the regular X line trains are
expected to do a big business.
Already large crowds have been
arriving on all the lines into the city
and almost every train is crowded with
passengers for Keokuk. A large mum
Der of fakirs and concession men have
arrived with the crowds and will help
to make the fair with their novelties.
The big Patterson shows are ex-
pected to arrive this afternoon from
Eau Claire, Wis, at 4 O'Clock. Arriv-
ing here this late, it is hardly probable
that they will be able to show this
evening but everything will be in
readiness for tomorrow, opening day.
On Thursday special comes
from Centerville, over the X. c., and
North road, arriving here at 10:40 in
the morning and leaving at 9 o'clock
in the evening.
The interurban line will run extra
cars on every train during the week.
