the third anaual show of the Rock Is

years.
In connection with the band, and as
a distinctly separate attraction, 16

including pyramid building, wall-scal
ing, etc., done in a lightning-like man
ner. that never fails to make a de
cided hit. '

Much care has been taken in the se
lection' of uniforms. Instead of the
cheap-looking, ordinary uniform usual
ly in use, the band 1b dressed in th9
bright-colored Turkish costumes that
add tone and color to any festive gath
ering. The band's repertoire is ex
tensive, embracing the work of the
great composers as well as the popular
airs of the day. 'During the exposition
week a different program will be pre
sented each day. W. M. Ewing, direc
tor of the organization, is a musician
of 20 years' experience.
During its six years of existence this
Juvenile band has toured the country
from coast to coast, and from the lakes
to the gulf, besides filling several en
gagements in Canada. Recognizing its
excellent drawing qualities, the band
k was engaged for the entire season of
1908 by the -101 Ranch Wild West

had numerous similar offers.

Peoria, 111., Aug. 26. (Special.)
Last night began the climax to the
week's camp of the Illinois National
Guard here, when the army of the
"red," in which Company A of Rock
Island "fought," invested the city of
Peoria, defended by the army of "blue."
The army of "red" crossed the Illi
nois river 10 miles above the city on
pontoon bridges, they have driven in
outposts of the army of "blue," which
defended Peoria, covering the approach
of the remainder of their troops across
tnis pontoon with machine- guns and
field artillery, and attacked Peoria
Heights, the commanding point over
the Tity of Peoria at 10 o'clock in the
morning.
Divide at River.'
The Illinois river was the dividing
line between two hostile states, and up
from the south all last night swarm
ed reinforcements for the "blue" gar
rison in this city and the efending
force was slowly but surely driven back
upon the Heights for refuge..
The reinforcements were In command
Ut General Frank P. Wells and formed
. . . I J , 1 , f 1L. C V.
tne second Dngaue, uiciuuiujs uc om
and 4th regiments of infantry, two
squadrons of the 1st cavalry, a detach
ment of the signal corps and a battery
of automobile machine guns.
The hosts of the enemy which held
the pontoon and prepared for a "sweep
ing attack this morning were in com
mand of General Jack Foster, com
manding the 1st and 3rd brigades, one
squadron of the 1st cavalry and a de
tachment of the signal corps. This
"red" attacking army was In position
by 8 o'clock, the reinforcements from
he south about the same hour, and tha
two armies met in a general engage
ment lasting from 10 o'clock until
noon.
Fljrht Orff ltouch Ground.
A3 the attacking forces of the "red"
invaders swept over the spurs of the
bluff beyond the Country club, coming
down the valley. On account of the
rugged condition of this country the
firing was furious and long con
tinued. When these wo lines of battle reach
ed a point within 100 yards of each,
a signal gun was fired rand every
bugler gave the signal to "cease fir
ing." These maneuvers were figured out
by Lieutenant Colonel Roniayne, who
is a retired captain in the United
States army. He acted as umpiro-in-chief,
while Captain H. J. Price. 2nd
United States infantry, regulars, offi
ciated as senior umpire for the "blue"
army, and Captain John McPalmer,
15th United States infantry, regular, as
senior umpire for the "red."
Break Camp Tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning before sunrise
the camp will be astir getting ready
for the exodus from the, city and by the
middle of the forenoon of the thous
ands of militiamen but a few will be
left to load the baggage for shipment.
Two of the regiments will be marched
to the city to board the trains there, to
avoid confusion. An early start wi'.l
be necessary, for most of the trains,
of which there will be nearly a score,
will leave between 7 and 9 a. m.
General Dickson stated to Jay that
the cost of the camp was in the neigh
borhood of $200,000 and that he be
