The Circus Tomorrow.

And also new flock of press
agents and bunch Of elephants with
impressed trousers and the humpbacs
sacred cattle and the blood-sweatins
behemoth and lot Of other things
For tomorrow morning, good and
early, there will roll into town the
long trains Of vari-painted cars of the
lSells-Floto Circus and Buffalo Bills
Original Wild West. Also. naturally,
there will come the leaky blare OF
the clown band tuba, the howl Of the
concession man-and, well. lot OF
things. For was there ever circus
without "all the cur-i-os-i-ties-s-s-s-s-
ladies an gents, ever conceived for
your entertainment an amusement"
Certainly not.
And speaking of curios1ties and
clowns and comets and other things
Of an alliterative nature, there will be
many thing to look at with the Sells
Floto Circus this year. Every advance
man swears 1t, the announcement
chortles it and the truthful press
agents weep oceans Of briny, salty,
eyeSwelling tears when there's the
slightest intimation Of doubt. And
seeing that this is the case, the fol-
lowing statements must be acc<pte
as facts:
That, first Of all, shimmering sun or
slanting rain, that circus'll be here
tomorrow for two performances, aft
ernoon and evening.
That Buffalo Bill will be present IN
person to lead the parade, to ride
around the great arena, to give his
famous salute from the saddle and to
personally supervise the presentation
of the wild west program of the show.
That there will be forty-y-y-y-y-
count 'em-forty-y-y-y-y clowns.
That there are a million-no, let's
be truthful a hundred or so-acrobats
and aerialists; whole congress OF
equestriennes and all Of 'em pretty;
"a group of special attractions, includ
ing Rosa Rosalfnd, the rider Captain
Dutch Ricardo. who trains lions tig.
ers and leopards with a buggy whip;
Fora "the bravest woman In the
world" with her three herds of per
forming elephants; Indians, riders,
cowboys, ropers, soldiers, ranch girls,
Devin's Zouaves and
Huh1
Beg pardon. The press agent has
Just wandered in and begged that the
writer desist from using up too much
space about the greatest show In the
world" Yes, he did-not!
But anyway, there are the promises
Of many, many things to be seen I'M
der the white tops this year-and, Of
course, there is the promise Of pa.
rade. That will come at 10:30 o'clock
tomorrow morning and 1t will traverse
the principal downtown streets with
Buffalo Bill in the lead.
And after the parade Eve are now
quoting the enthusiastic press agenr)
should there be a wild rush for re
served seats, downtown seat sale
will be opened at 9 o'clock tomorrow
at Wilkinson & Co.'s drr;s
store, where general admission AMI
seats may be obtained at tn
same prices as charged at the ticket

TO the fact that culvert bridge be

and Alexandria had been bent out OF
line by the water It was fixed yes

Quincy could be maintained.
The Mississippi river has fallen dur
Ing the last twenty-four hours, and
The indications point to resumption OF
more normal conditions generally
along both rivers. The Des Ioines
has fallen on the upper river and
with the Mississippi lowered, some OF
the strain on the levees along the Des
Moines is reduced.
The flood along the Des Moines this
wear has been unusual according to
The people living in that vicinity. Some
of those who occupy houses this side
of the Des Moines river bridge report
water in their corn fields for the first
time
Pitch Horse Shoes and Fish.
That the residents in the flooded
district are philosophical may be
judged from some Of the incidents
which were noticed yesterday after
i noon. One young lad was seated in
boat moored to the shore and which
had a for sale" sign on It, The boy
had fish spear and evidently look

points nearer Ottumwa both above

lower today.
When the Market street bridge
gauge reaches the ten foot mark
the waters have begun to recede
from Central addition and the region
Of the Blackhawk bridge. Shooting
the dams in canoes and travelling from
Bakers grove to the city in motor
boats has to be stopped. The Morrell
bottoms are also beginning to present
more normal appearance as far as
lack of water covering them is con-
serned, but the crops that were plant
ed upon them have gone along their
way to destruction. The railroad
racks are in better shape now and
me trains are not running very far
behind schedule time.

Quo Vadis

Among the host of interesting
characters in George Kleine's mar
velous photo drama "Quo Vadis'
which comes to the Opera House on
Monday, Nov. 22nd, for an engage
ment of one night, none are more
enjoyed and respected by the audi
ences than Sig. Castellani as Ursus,
the giant slave so thoroughly devot-
ed to his mistress Lygia. He COM
pletely realizes in his appearance,
height and muscular power, all that
our mind pictures of the physical
giant who could uplift trees and
even tear a huge bull asunder. Cas-
tellani was not an actor until he
posed for this photo-drama.
The Cines Company made Castel-
lani flattering offer for his services
for one year and put him under the
direction of competent stage man.
ager for six months. In the photo
drama his performance looms up
prominently with all the other play
ers of long experience and he wins
as much by his simplicity and natural
ness as they for the complexity of
their art.
This instance only serves to
emphasize the amount of attention
to detail, and wonderful care the
Cines Company displayed in making
"Quo Vadis" which is well deserved
ly called tile premiere photo drama
of the world. While this great
drama has cost thousands of dollars
to produce it costs you almost moth
ing to see it.
