"THE" ATTRACTION FOR COUNTY AND STREET FAIRS, RAGE MEETINGS AND RESORTS. Jones County Agricultural and ilechanical Association. Monticello. Iowa. August 16.1898. To Whom It May Concern :—The famous Diving Elks, owned by W. H. Barnes, of Sioux City, have just closed a four days' contract with the above Association, for which we paid him $930. and I must say that the same has been very cheerfully paid by me. for we have received full value for same by extra attendance. Mr Barnes is a gentleman in every respect and he more than carried out his contract. The people are delighted with the attraction, and I wish to say that the Elks dive of their own free will, and that ther are hot thkowk from any trap or contrivance. They ascend the tower unattended and dive of their own free will. All I can say is that they are a mar- velous attraction. G. K. BISHOP, Secretary. Address, WILL H. BARNES, Siovx City, Iowa.
