Water Show Coming to keokuk.

Water Show Coming to keokuk.
Immense production carried on
eight huge barges. Performances
next Saturday afternoon and night,
Aug. IA. Few people who have not
seen the great Rice and Dore water
show which gives two performances
at the foot Of Johnson street. have
any conception Of the magnitude OF
the show. The performance is car
ried on flotilla of eight huge barges,
each 80 by 100 feet in dimensions.
Motive power is supplied by the big
steamer City OF Parkersburg. 4
Two exhibitions will be given. the
matinee commencing at o'clock and
the evening performance at 8.
Admission to the barges Is abso-
lutely free: the water circus prices
have been reduced for this occasion.
Every precaution Is taken for the
care Of ladies and children. There
is ample seating capacity in the
aquatic arena for two thousand peo-
ple. and in case OF inclement weather
the audience is protected by water
proof canopies. The program goes on
always, rain or shine.
Tn order that sight-seers on the
hank NAV not waste time and be dis
appointed it is we'll to explain that al
the immense aerial rigging and mid
air paraphernalia seen from the shore
comprises only the heavy supports to
the novel and thrilling acrobatlc
aquatic acts produced in the water
circus in the enclosure. All the free
acts can be seen only from the barges.
The water show has met with much
success. and the Ohio river newspa-
pers all commend the program.-Ad-

MINIMUM WAGE LAW
 BEFORE U. 5. COURT
Same Questions Involved in Cases from Oregon and Fort Smith,
 Arkansas.

Little Rock, Oct. 9.--Precisely the same questions are involved in the minimum wage cases that are pend- ing in the Arkansas supreme court from St bastian county, and in the st. preme court of the United States from Oregon. The minimum wage, by leg islation, is comparatively new. While history records an effort made as ear ly as 1S40, in New York, to prescribe a minimum wage by statutory enact ment, it did not become in any degree popular movement among the leg islatures until about four years ago.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1915-10-10

Utah enacted a minimum wage law in 1913, and since then similar laws have been passed in Oregon, Cali fornia, Colorado, Massachusetts and Minnesota. It has been sustained by the supreme courts of several states, but the Oregon case is the first to reach the supreme court of the Unit ed States. It is possible that the Ar kansas court will await the decision of the highest tribunal before passing upon the case appealed by the Fort Smith laundryman, since practically the same questions are involved.
