Depressive business conditions and drought effects push Forepaugh and Sella Bros circus to reroute into smaller Iowa cities. It played Webster City Independence and West Union with good patronage. Independence reported adequate provisions for horses and personnel. Visitors from Waterloo traveled by auto.
