Parade Surprise.
The street pageant of the Wallace
show was a complete surprise. 1t was
a lengthy array, such as can only be
produced by the fortunate combination
of unlimited wealth, undaunted cour-
age, original ideas and determination
to eclipse all similar displays. That
Mr.. Wallace has succeeded in achiev-
ing his purpose is generally conceded.
His parade is like his circus, "the high
est class in the world
Long ago the short, small cages were
taken out of the Wallace parade, this
show being the first to use the big
dens. Instead of the wooden dens,
steel cages and dens. each one being
almost as large and as strong as the
average railroad car.
Mr. Wallace was the first show man
to make a feature of fine horses He
was the first to make a feature of the
ever attractive Shetland ponies, and
this season he has in his parade and
"horse fair" more of these childrens
pets than are to be found with all 9TH
er circuses combined. He is the only
circus manager who insists on having
built new each season, and the same
is true of the costumes, trappings and
harness used by the Wallace show.

the circus train did not reach Rock Is
land until about o'clock, and as re
suit of the delay the parade was not
held until after noon. The circus train
in the Muscatine yards was struck by
a freight train, which hit the fourth
section, occupied by the laborers of the
outfit. A few minutes later switch
engine in the yards was derailed, and
the train was delayed about five hours
before the tracks were cleared.
Wallace fights the circus trust by
cutting the price of admission, there
by giving the people of Rock Island an
opportunity to visit big up-to-date

while the trust (which is using dead

wait and pay the full price. Among
the principal features of the great
Wallace shows are the DelnO Garnell
greatest and most daring of all
aerial bar performers and the only act
of its kind in America. The eight
are novel Russian dancers,
who dance to weird music in native
costumes. The Penbillion family of
novelty bicyclists are a tremendous
hit at each performance. The five SEN

The way to the pinnacle of fame in

those who succeed ever gain promi-

all description. Nothing she does
looks difficult, nor appears, indeed to

Stickney deceives the public and makes

dispelled from his mind The same
thing may be said of all the hundreds
of performers with the great Wallace

Chicago, Jan. 2. - Five officials OF
the Carriage and Wagon Makers
Union of Chicago and two OF their al
legged hired sluggers, who have been
on trial in the criminal court for con-
spiracy, were found guilty and SEN
fenced to terms in the penitentiary.
The severest punishmey.s was inlet
ed on Charles Gilhooley. leader OF the
alleged gang of shlggers. Besides be-
ing given a sentence to the penitenti-
airy he was also fined $4,000. Others
who were found guilty were Henry
Newman, secretary of the Carriage
Wagon Workers Union No. A.. Char
les Casey, secretary Of the union; Ed
ward Shields, recording secretary;
Charles Fl. Deutch, member OF the
executive board; John Heiden, mem
Der of the executive board; and Mar
Gus Looney, one of the alleged hired
sluggors. Frank Novak, another mem.
Der of the executive board, was found
not guilty.
The specific case on which the men
were tried is only one of many similar
instances that have occurred in Chi
cago within the last few years. Last
April, while Chris J. Carlestrom,
non-union carriage worker. was re

was being made by the states attor'

dent of the Carriage and Wagon Work
ers' Union, turned states evidence
and told Of the Under workings of the
union. During the disclosure Miller
declared that the union maintained
what he termed "wrecking crew.
which he explained meant regular
organization of men who were hired
as sluggers in order to intimidate
non-union men who might desire to
take the places of strikers. He then
cited the Carlstrom affair as an in.

Mouth and Eyes Covered With Crusts
Hands Pinned Decentralization
Cure by Cutcura.
when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend.
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to third one. Mat.
tiers became so bad that he had regu.
lar holes in his cheeks large enough
to put a finger into. The food had to
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest, and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make an
open sore. l think his face must have
ltched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and l had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw miracle. A
friend Of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made. trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared 1t also
began to disappear, and within ten
