BIG CIRCUS HERE
MONDAY, AUG. 20
campbel,s Show viii Exhibit al
Twenty-fourth and Maint for
One Day Only.

A California newspaper in speak
ing of the big circus which comes to
Keokuk on Monday, August 80, says:
Campbell Brothers circus arrived
in this city early Sunday morning
and soon after the arrival the work
OF erecting the mammoth tents on the
railroad grounds was commenced No
performances were given on Sunday,
but this afternoon the circus people
are entertaining large crowd and
this evening at o'clock second
and final performance will be given.
The circus parade this morning at
10 o'clock attracted the usual large
crowd and 1t may be said that the
parade was very creditable one. A
Democrat" representative visited the
menagerie this morning at the invita-
ton of Mr.. Campbell He was sur
prised to find such an array of rare
animals. There is herd of eleven
elephants, nine camels and about
twenty cages of wild animals in cap
tivity One cage contains four sea
lions recently captured at Santa Bar
bara California is also represented
by several ostriches purchased in San
Diego. In one cage Bengal tigress
and her three kittens. two weeks old,
repose The kittens are born blind
and will not have their eyes open I'M
til about another week. They are
very cute and not much unlike the
common household cat. This cage is
not open for the inspection of the pub
lie, however, for the reason that the
mother guards her young so zealously
when anybody is around that there
is danger of her strangling them.
The father in the next apartment is
in very ugly mood, perhaps due to
the fact that he is separated from
his family.
This is the first trip Of Campbell's
Shows to California The headquar-
tiers of the circus are in Fairbury
Nebraska. The circus arrived in Cal
ifornia in April. and has been play
ing south and up the coast Mr.
Campbell says that business has
been very good and that wherever the
circus has appeared they have been
we'll received
The circus IS q two-ring affair, with
elevated stage and hippodrome and
all the usual sideshows. 1t travels in
its own train of % cars and employees
about 400 people.

Prehistoric Remains Discovered.

Some interesting prehistoric re
mains have been discovered in quar-.
ry near Dunfermline, Scotland. The
skull was that of man who had been
remarkably well developed. The body
had been placed in recumbent posi-.
ton and built in with rough pieces Of
loose whin rock, 1t is believed that
the remains are those of an ancient
chieftain. Many centuries must have
elapsed since their interment. as the
rock and earth have accumulated to a
depth of six feet.

COMMERCE Law
now EFFECTIVE
New Interstate Law Went into Effect
Yesterday and Means a Great
Saving to Shippers Of
Iowa.
WRIGHTMAN TALKS
WRIGHTMAN
TALKS
Eur
secretary Of Iowa Manufacturers
Says Main Effect Will be to and
From Points East Of
Illinois.

Yesterday the new interstate com
merce law, which involves the say.
ings Of hundreds of millions of dol
lars to shippers of the west, took eff
feet. George A. Wrightman, secre.
tary of the Iowa Manufacturers, asso-
citation, has sent out announcements
to that effect to all the manufacturers
Of the state.
In the circular. Mr.. Wrightman
calls special attention to section of
the new law. This section governs
the padding Of rates by railroad
companies and prevents discrimina-
ton between local and proportional
rates. The principal clause Of the
section reads as follows:
1t shall be unlawful for any com
mon carrier subject to the provisions
of this act, to charge any greater COM
pensation as through route than the
aggregate Of the intermediate rates
subject to the provisions of this act.
May Not Continue.
Mr.. Wr1ghtman also adds the fol-
lowing in his circular:
am strongly inclined to the opin-
ion that under this provision Of the
law the railroads cannot continue
after August II. the practice of charg-
ing more on shipments from a point
east of the Indiana-Illinois state line
to a point In Iowa than the rate from
the eastern point to the Mississippi
river (on shipments destined beyond
the river) plus the Iowa distance
tariff rate from the Mississippi river
to the point In Iowa.
At the present time on a shipment
of goods known as FIRST class from
Pittsburg to Grinnell for instance,
the rate is: Pittsburg to Rock Island,
5G.5c; Rock Island to Grinnell, (the
"proportionate', rate). 4o.5c; Pitts.
burg to Grinnell through, 97.0c.
Under the new law believe the
railroads cannot lawfully charge more
than the following combination: pitts.
burg to Rock Island, 56.5s; Rock
ASioAiu " HilHuSA IOWA distance
tariff 100 miles) 27.2c; Pittsburg to
Grinnell through, S3.7c, reduction OF
1890 per 100 pounds.
This principle applies on all ship
ments that take "class rates which
means all less-than-carload shipments
and most carload shipments in this
territory.
This same principle applies on ship
ments from an Iowa point east bound
to point east of the Illinois-Indiana
state line
Great Saving.
The main effect of the law will be
to and from points east of Illinois
and the law will also have great eff
feet in the state Of Iowa. 1t Will
mean the saving of immense amounts
of money to shippers. For example,
the roads leading out of Cincinnati
in connection with the Chicago, Rock
Island G. Pacific railway publish a
rate on shoes destined to Cedar Rap
ids of al cents per 100 pounds from
Cincinnati to Rock island; and the
Chicago, Minneapolis & st. Paul
publishes local rate Of % cents from
Rock Island to Cedar Rapids. The
aggregate of these rates Is 60 cents,
