In an age which from one angle
may be termed an epoch of the
horse versus the automobile" there is
no gainsaying the fact that the equine
lis in far less demand than he was
even a few years ago. The runabout
has supplanted the pony-drawn ve-
.hicle, the electric has taken the place
of the time honored chaise, limousines
have relegated the handsome turnouts
of yester-year to cob-webbed carriage
houses, while the big dapple grays
have stepped aside to make way for
the motor truck.
Yet there is one institution which
tends to perpetuate the horse and that
institution is-the circus. other en-
terprises may discard him for motoc
cars or even utilize the aeroplane.
but for all the trend of the times
the tent show maintains the fascina
ton of its primitiveness by being
faithful to the horse. The largest and,
in many ways, the most famous OF
these organizations is Ringing Broth
ers' circus. 1t is coming to Keokuk,
Thursday, September g. With the ex-
lception of that work done by the work
ing elephants, the entire motive power
used by this moving municipality i;
united in COO splendid horses. Ring.
ling Brothers carry a total of 1856
equines but a portion Of these are of
the trained variety. They are among
the idle rich of Ringlingville and
do no work Much might be written
of this class of dumb performers gath
iered from the stables of Russia,
France, Spain. Germany and England
but this story has to deal not with
the agile steed who bears the spangled
ladies of the ring but with his biz
brothers of the baggage stock
An experience of more than thirty
years has taught Ringing Brothers to
select their wagon horses with the
greatest possible care and fine CON.
| sideration for the work which these
animals are called upon to perform.
The circus horse must, obviously, be
subjected to a constant variance OF
feed, climate and, most dangerous of
all. an incessant change of water In
addition to these trying irregularities
the animal must be carried practic-
ally every night during approximately
200 days of constant travel. BY a
process of elimination and selection it
has been found that the three-quarter
grade percheron is the most suited to
circus purposes. They adapt them
selves to the cars better worry less
than other types, and show a cheerful
disposition under the most trying cir.
Icumstances. Contrary to popular be-

David A. Young, member or the
hoard OF supervisors, former Iowa state
senator and resident Of Keokuk and
vicinity for many years. passed away
1 1t the home Of his son, W. NJ. Young
1908 Exchange street at 1885 O'Clock
saturday morning, following an i'll
ness OF year and half.
David A. Young was one of the
most prominent men in Lee county,
and the news OF his death has been
received with regret by his large
hosts Of friends and acquaintance,
who had learned to look on him as
an exponent OF the highest type of
citizenship.
During the many years he, was in
pubiic life, his efforts had been to-
wards lettering the state and the
community In which he lived and his
long and excellent record in the Iowa
senate and on the board of Lee coun-
ty supervisors was because of this.
He was the father of many bills in
the state senate for the good of Iowa,
and while a supervisor, was active in
building new bridges and improving
the roads. TO him belongs much OF
the credit for the new Montrose-Keo-
kuk river highway which is the de-
light OF motorists Of this vicinity.
n Serious Condition Three Months.
Although he had been in poor
health for over a year, this Illness
was only of serious nature durins
the last three months. Six weeks
ago he was taken to st. Joseph's hos.
pital where he underwent an opera
ton for appendicitis. After remaining
at the hospital for three weeks, he
was so for recovered that he was
able to be moved to the home Of his
son.
For the last three weeks, however
be had been rapidly declining, end
death was finally the result of
Bright's disease combined with the
effects OF his operation. During the
past week, hope had practically been
given up and his friends and rela-
lives knew that it was merely mat
ter of days or hours.
Prominent In Politics.
Mr.. Young had been prominent in
politics for the past twenty-five years
He possessed an enviable reputation
In the southeastern part of the state,
as man of broad and progressive
views and he had long been recog.
nized as statesman and moulder OF
political thought. ~

christiania, Dec. 22-That Henry
Ford now realizes the hopelessness
of obtaining concrete results from
his peace mission was the general
opinion of men close to him today.
Ford, it was rumored, plans to end
the peace trip in perfunctory man
ner and as inconspicuously as pos
sible. He is deeply disappointed
at the lack of warmth in reception
accorded peace delegates in Nor
way and by frank declaration of hos
tiIity on part of Danish authorities.
Norwegian students banqueted
members of Ford party last night,
but it was reported that bill for en-
tertainment was sent to Ford's head
quarters. Louis P. Lochner, Ford's
secretary, notified students that De-
troit manufacturer would contribute
$4,000 toward new university build
ings.
