A WONDERFUL DISPLAY.
Ringing Bros. Gorgeous 3o-Section
Free Street Parade

The Ringing Brothers big show for
the season of 1897 which comes to To-
ability the biggest thing of the kind
that has ever travelled. The neWspa-
perS of Chicago. where the big show
has given over 100 performances, and
the papers of other large cities, pro-
nOunce it the one big show of the uni
verse. The Ringing Bros. have this
year to make their visit to each com
munity positively irresistible to the
thousands, added free, open air spec
tacular entertainment, which takes
place as a grand professional street
demonstration, and is a modern and gil
gantic successor of the conventional
street parade still a feature with other
shows. In diScarding the old time cir
Gus pageant and substituting this big
new parade the Rigling Brothers intro
duce something entirely new, novel and
worthy of public interest. 1t is pre-
scented in thirty enormous sections, or
sub divisions, each one of which would
easily outclass the usual circus parade,
and combined presenting a sight, or
rather a series of bewildering grand
scenes, more than three times larger
than the combined professional display
of any other show in America; costing
more than ten times as much to pro-
duce it, and in beauty and grandeur
beyond comparison. Among the 80
sections are representations of all the
famed mounted military companies of
the world, the elaborate and correct ac-
coutrements, arms and uniforms alone
costing many thousands of dollars.
There are scenes of warfare in the Pun
jaub, huge elephants harnesSed to can
mons, mounted military escorts, native
soldiers, guides attendants and COM
manders moving on to the encounter
with warning tribes. The famous Eng
1ish Derby day meet is represented in
all the mag1i1cence of the genuine
event by the hundreds of artists and
performers attired as high English so
cfety ladies and gentlemen on their way
to the Derby races, riding in scores OF
swell turnouts of every variety, drawn
by the choicest of aristocratic horses.
Egyptian caravans in full equipment
cross the desert with the wealth of
oriental looms, spices and rlches, with

Secretary Gage to Recommend Re
duction of the Tax.

Washington, May 1T is very prob
able that the secretary of the treasury
will soon recommend to congress a
material reduction of the internal rev
enue tax on distilled spirits and an
INCREASE of the tax on beer. The
action will be taken on the ground that
the present tax of $1.10 per gallon IS
a bOVe the revenue producing point
Some days ago Senator Cullom intro
duced resolutions which was adopted
calling upon the secretary for his views
and the commissioner of internal reve-
nue. has now in preparation report to
the secretary covering the facts lnVolV-
ed. This report will show that since
the increase in the tax on spirits from
soc to $1.10 per gallon, Illicit dstilling
has increased to a point almost If not
quite beyond control. This is the case
particularly in the mountainous dis
tricts in the south. Recently evidence
has been received Of its extension into
the north.
A short time ago a large quantity of
Illicit whisky was captured in Montana,
and an investigation disclosed the fact
that it was manufactured in Nebraska
That it is rapidly increasing and eX-
tending in many directions internal
revenue officers say is beyond doubt,
and with only the $4,000 appropriated
by congress for the detection and sup
preston of Illicit dfstilling, the internal
revenue bureau is almost helpless to
