CARNIVAL COMPANY
HERE next WEEK
The United States Carnival Com
pany Win Show at Nineteenth
and Main Beginning
Monday.
IS A BIG ATTRACTION
They Play to Only the Larger Cities
Here in Seasons Past and
Aresvery Well
Known.
rs A BIG ATTRACTION

Keokuk is to be treated this fall,
beginning August 90 and running for
six days, to another of the always
popular carnival company's shows.
This form of amusement has made a
big hit with the pleasure loving pub
lie of the city and good one is al
ways patronized extensively, and the
coming attractions are among the best
anywhere, as is shown by the large
cities in which they play Last week
they played at st. Paul around the
Minnesota capital building and under
the auspices of the North Central
Commercial club.
The United States Carnival COM
pany need no introduction to Keokuk
people, as they have shown twice be-
fore in this city and both times were
great succfS es. At another time they
had engaged grounds and advertised
as coming but could not fill the dates
and although not required to, all obli-
cations that had been contracted for
were met the same as if the company
had been in the city.
The company carry eleven paid
shows, two free attractions and a uni--
formed band. One feature of the COM
pany coming to Keokuk is the fact
that no graiters or grating of any
kind is allowed around the carnival
grounds. This feature has given the
company very enviable reputation.
No rowdies or other undesirable
characters are employed in any capac-
iity around the shows, which fact in
sures everyone courteous treatment
and perfect safety to ladies' and chill
dren.
The company will show on the
grounds at Nineteenth and Main.
These grounds are only one block from
the street car line and are the east
lest to reach in the city. Another fact
] that is usually overlooked is that the
grounds are high and will be cool at
( all time Of the day or evening. The
street car company will furnish ample
means of transportation, SO that there
will be no crowded cars and visitors
can come and leave at liberty.
The two feature attractions of the
Carnival are the Electrical show,
Annie and the stadium. The stadi-
um is one of the largest carried by
any company. All of the OTHER at
fractions are good, which fact is clear
lily shown by the patronage they re
ceive.
