1t has always been a problem with
tented attractions to properly take
care of the timid folks. The Wild
West and Far East management is the
first to solve it. BY the new order of
arrangement tnere can be no crowding
or pushing anG positively no danger
of any kind usually attendant upon
large gatherings
An interesting feature of note in
connection with the coming of Buf-
falo Bill (Col. w. F. Cody) this sea-
son is that this will be his last visit
to this city Col. Cody retires to a
well-earned rest. He will never ap-
pear before you again.
The exhibition this year carries
1000 men and 900 horses Several of
the features of past seasons have
been retained, but for the most part
everything is new, for instance the
most sensational and realistic con-
fiict ever enacted in mimic warfare
The Battle of Summit Springs. re-
produced with vivid veracity. Then
there's the broncho-busting, marvel
ously thrilling, and the great sturdy
rough riders: the wonderful herd of
buffaloes the military tournament;
feats of Workmanship: wall-scaling
and artillery manoeuvers; the breath
taking game OF football on horseback;
Rossi's Musical Elephants; Johnny
Baker, worlds greatest rifle marks
man, and an Oriental display of pomp,
pageantry and splendors of the ro-
mantle Far East. These are but a
few of the many spellbinding Incl
dents.
Buffalo Bill appears in the saddle
twice daily and will personally bid
you last farewell in Keokuk, Mon

are surprising. The skin Immediately

Work will be commenced this
week on the river between Keokuk
and Warsaw that is calculated 10
make this stretch of the Mississippi
one OF the best instead of one of the
worst five miles in the big stream.
Wing dams that will keep the chan
mel clear at all stages and vastly i'm
prove the very bad crossing above
Warsaw will be put in, and much
work will be done at the mouth of the
Dcs afoines river. Captain A. V. Fet-
ter of Quincy has the contract for the
job which calls, in all. for little less
than $4,000 worth of improvements
The deepening of the channel at
this point will make ingress and
egress to Keolluk by steamer much
more regular than it has been for
several years past, the larger boats
especially frequently being delayed
by the bad crossing off of the mouth
of the Des Moines.
Captain Fetter who was brought UP
in La Crosse and who has been on the
river all OF his life, has worked up
from the bottom of the business and
is now one of the most successful
contractors in river improvement
work on the entire Mississippi. On
this job he will employ several COM
plete outfits. One of them passed
neokuk Sunday and is now at the
quarry above. the second lock getting
out stone for use on wing dams and
in riprapping. Another gang cuts and
prepares the willows which are used
for mats, while still another large
outfit will be engaged in putting in
the dams and placing embankments.
The main fleet probably will be at
Warsaw Wednesday or Thursday, and
after small job there will move on
up to the mouth of the Des Moines.

TELEPHONE OF SPIDER WEB
Large, Ugly Insect is Easily Deceived
BY Tuning Fork Placed on Ono
of the Tiny Threads.

A gentleman In Ohio was watch
Ing some spiders, when it occurred to
him to try what effect the sound of
a tuning fork would have upon them.
He suspected that they would take 1t
for the buzzing OF fly.
He selected a large, ugly spider that
had been feasting on flies for two
months. The spider was at one edge
of its web. Sounding the fork, the
man touched a thread at the other
side and watched the result. Mr.. Spi-
der had the buzzing sound conveyed
to him over his telephone wires, but
how was he to know on which partic-
nlar wire it was travelling?
He ran to the center Of the web
very quickly and felt all around I'M
til he touched the thread against the
other end of which the fork was
sounding; then, taking another thread
along. just as man would take an
extra piece of rope, he ran out to the
fork and sprang upon it.
Then he retreated a little way and
looked at the fork He was puzzled.
He had expected to find buzzing fly.
He got on the fork again and danced
with delight Evidently the sound was
music to him.

NEEDLE FLOATING ON WATER
Simplest Way Is to Lay Tiny Piece Of
Steel on Tissue Paper-Latter
Will Soon Sink.

There are several ways of making
needle float on the surface of the
water. The simplest way is to place
a piece of tissue paper OH the water
and lay the needle on it; the paper
soon becomes soaked with water and
sinks to the bottom, while the needle
is left floating on the top.
Another method is to hang the
needle in two sings made of threads,
which must be carefully drawn away
as soon as the needle floats.
If You magnetic a sewing needle by
rubbing it on fairly strong magnet.
and float it on the water, 1t will make
an extremely sensitive compass. and
II you place two needles on the water
at the same time you will see them
slowly approach each other until they
float side by side; that is, If they do
not strike together SO heavily as to
cause them to sink.
