11 AND HAGEBK IS IN TOWN GREAT TRAINED ANIMAL SHOW DELIGHTS ITS THOUSANDS -OF SPECTATORS. PARADE WAS IMMENSE Exhibition mm a Whole Considered Finest of Ita Kind Ever Given 'n Mattoon. Hagenbeck's, the premier of all trained animal ahows, arrived In Mat- toon bright and early this morning from Litchfield, the first section of the train, arriving at o'clock and the second an hour later. The crowd of spectators which ha4 cars loaded with score or ao of small wagona and cages wag agreeably surnrlsed when the magnitude of the ahow, which- carried about the same amount of paraphernalia as does Brnum A Bailey's, Ringling's And other great shows," of the Hagenbeck'a has an advantage over these shows also in that their outfit Is entirely new, this being the show's first season on the road. Work of Unloading.

The work of unloading was gone about in a methodical and the billows of canvas were soon rising In the form of tents for various pur poses. The cook and dining were amonjr the first erected. The horse tent followed and-, then work waa begun on the big tent. A ma jority of the workmen are German and th tongue of the Fatherland rang strangely where the slang of the New rTork boomer of the levee tough out for a few shekels is usually heard. The greatest event of the day for the young people waa the parade.

which -waa truly magnificent Large well kept horses In teams of four, six. eight, twelve and evenimore, gor geously-decorated band wagona and gilded cages, excruciatingly funny clowns, a clown band whose music would have driven the gods to de struction, bands whose music was entranclngly aweet, stately tigers, majestic lions, awkward cumbersome camels, ponderous elephants, and last, but by no means least, a ateam calliope presided over by a "herr professor." who ground out very much American rag time without even-: a touch of Teutonic accent, In fact, everything which tends to endear the circus parade to the hearts of young America and recall delieioua reoollec tlpns of former days to old America was there and at Ita best." Parade Was Immense. The parade waa headed byC. Lee Wllllanjs, a Springfield boy, who Is general manager and part owner ot the with Loren Hagenbeck. aon of famous animal king, driving In a buggy.

The parade, wHfchwas a mile And half in length, surprised everyone. and it was very grateful to the crowd of apectatora who lined, the avenues taken by the cavalcade, after, the disappointing failure of the great And only Barnum to furnish them a pa rade. At the grounds the uaual attrac tions, including a aide show with free attractions, red lemonade attached to. which by a straw are our country barkers whose voices never give out and the indescribable air enticed the visitor this afternoon, and when the hour for the opening of the grand performance waa reached the huge tent waa packed with a sweltering mass of humanity. An Agreeable Surprise.

Here another agreeable surprise awaited the audience, aa act after act waa produced Juet as It had been represented upon the ahow blila, and ho feat seemed too no risk too great fpr the brave and skillful train ers, to atterajpt. There la none of the usual, braggadocio about Hrr Hag-enbecV trainers, way they appear and act gentlemanly. "and the women-trainers are among1 the most baftutlful women of the 'great German empire. Ktndnesi and "not brutality Is the. ruling watchword or the great animal show, as It would hardly be safe to depend upon a monster lion- or.

a glgantio elephant which had been subdued by cruelty not re taliating when it found Ita tormen tor's head between its massive Jaws or his form under Its feet. The Carl Hagenbeck show occupies Just as much space as the biggest show even seen in the city. The main tent has three rings and a huge steel cage where the performance of the wild beasts takes "place. This cage is connected with tho cages in the menagerie through a steel runway forty feet long through which the animals enter the arena. Aa advertised, the trained animals were the big features of the show, and their- performances were marve lous throughout, soliciting for them selves, their trainers and Carl Hagen beck, round after round of loud ap plause.

Every animal exhibited In the tents of the Hagenbeck show Is trained-to a high state of perfection. They consist of Hons, tigers, pumas, leopards. Jaguars, sea lions, elephants, goata, monkeys, zebras, horses and mules, and combined, they give the greatest trained animal show ever brought to this olty and country. An tics of funny clowns, splendid acro bats, bar and wire performers, flying trapeze performances, serve to cage -with the ferocious. growling beasts, might at moment meet Especially Herman Bogger.

BOARD CAN GO AHEAD Without the Sanction of Property Owners Law So Amended Is fXmstltutlonal. I In response to a letter from a res ident of this city asking for a definite ruling on the effect of the amend ment to the special assessment law. recenty enacted, Attorney General Stead has Iprwarded an opinion that cities and -villages of Illinois.

The at torney general. now insists that petitions representing at least one-half. the abutting property are no longer a -condition -precedent to such im provements as paving, water mains and sewers. This ruling, if sound. will work a revolution in the method of inaugurating street improvements in Illinois.

The local improvement act waa first passed In 1897." says the attor ney general. "Section four of. that act was amended by an act approved April 9,. 1899, and two acta were passed in 1903,, which purported to amend section 4 as amended by the act of 1899, but said acts were held unconstitutional by the supreme court. Consequently, the act of 1897 aa amended by the act of 1899, was held to be the true section four of this law prior to the passage of the act of 1605.

No Petition Required. "It is suggested that even If the act of 1905 is effective to amend section four, that the provisions of section 34 would require a petition of one-half of the owners of property abutting on any street, alley park or public or portion thereof, before a local Improvement could be made, flection 34 ia as It waa before the act 1905, and doubtless referred, prlar to that act, to the petition of abutting property owners which the statutes then required: yet It does not necessarily follow that that section would require, since the amendment of 1906, the petition of abutting property owners shall be a condition precedent to the making of a local improvement. "It is a reasonable construction and the one which, In my opinion, the courts would adopt, then whenever the owners of one-half of the property abutting on any street, alley, park, public place or portion thereof. shall petition for any local Improve ment thereon, the board of local Improvements shall take steri, as required by the provisions of the act. for a hearing thereon, but this pro vision does not exclude the Idea that such steps may be taken at the election of the.i board" of local -improvements without such a petition, and there being no restriction anywhere else in the.

act upon the powers of the bgard of local Improvements to originate a scheme for any local Improvement without a petition, but. on the other hand, that power having been expressly given by section 7, It is my opinion that the power to make -local without such petition, as required in section 4, as amended by the act of I8ju will be held to Sisters Drowned.
