The Big Stock Parade.
The greatest feature of the fair
the live stock parade and show-was
seen without hitch in the program
last night. The extraordinary num-
Der of entries in the stock depart
ments made the exhibition much
greater than in previous years.
Because of the failure to produce
the show on Monday the vaudeville
and the fancy riding and driving stunts
were cut short last evening and the
stock scheduled to have appeared on
the previous night was exhibited.
The dome of the pavilion was hung
with the national colors and the flags
of other nations. The boxes on the
four sides were draped with bunting
and many of the state officials and
prominent stock men of the world &C.
CuplSu III Tic Win IVA Wao
Gov. B. F. Carroll and other state Of
ficers. The west boxes were occupied
by the breeders and stock men, in
Guiding A. B. Swift.
When the Iowa Brigade Band
struck up The Star Spangled Ban
Eer, the big doors at the south end
OF the pavilion swung open and fifty
magnificent Percheron and Belgian
horses pranced into the arena behind
attendants clad in white uniforms,
shoes and caps, The big horses were
decorated with blue ribbons won at
various shows and fairs.
Valuables Are Found.
F. E. Cowell, fair visitor from Os-
kaloosa. reported that his pocket had
been picked and pocketbook con-
tanning s3S in cash, a certified check
for 800 and some articles of jewelry
had been taken last night Chief of
Detectives f. E. Johnston put two OF
his men on the trail of the missing
valuables, which were found on the
car. They were returned to the Oska-
loosa man.

Billie Burke, Who Speaks French But
Poorly, Wins Paris; To Have New Play

PARIS. June 9.-Billie Burke has
captured Paris as she captured Lon
don. in Love Watches Her dainti-
ness was irresistible.
Paris demanded to see her in a new
play She can speak French but poor
ly. Paris didn't care; II still cried for
Billie Burke.
Chas. Frohman is too versatile to
permit little thing like ignorance or
a language TO stand in the way OF one
of mis- stars He commissioned Robt.
de Flers and de Gaillavet the authors
OF Love Watches" to write a new
play for Billie Burke.
In this play she will be madcap,
daredevil. irresponsible, unconven-
tional American girl who doesn't speak
French at ALL All the other charac-
ters in the play will speak French.
Can you beat that for ingenuity? The
play opens in Paris i'm March.
Later it goes 10 the United States.
but there all the minor characters Will
speak English, and Billie Burke will
speak French. Also. can you beat
that?
