THE ARCHES.
Mr.. c. A. Wallingford. architect, states
that he has made the plans for three arches
for the carnival committee, and the con-
tractors Tor the erection are Messrs- COrlieS,
Chapman * Drake. The work on all is
progressing satisfactorily. and last evening
the frame work was most completed. These
are not, properly speaking. arches, but
canopieS, as the superstTuctuTe rests on
four towers built on each corner of the
street. The arch at Fourth and Sibley
streets will consist of intersecting ground
arches with national and carnival flags
flying from central peak. From each OF
the four corners a cone ten feet high arises,
made of circles of gas pipes surmounted
with globes of various cOlOrS. The arch
on Third and Cedar will be a pioneer his
torical one. and each of the corners will be
surmounted respectively by bear, deer,
an Indian and a trapper. The dome in the
center will be formed of circular gas-pipes,
with a succession of jets of colored globes,
while soaring over all these will be an
American eagle loaned by Charles AL
buchb. The arch on Minnesota and Sew
enth streets will be OF Swiss design, with
four gables and projecting matched roof
all around the sides. The gables will be
open, and on the inside will be concealed
platforms on which snowShOerS in rull coz

Mr.. Wallingford has had considerable

cost The sum allotted does not amount to
twelfth part of that spent two years ago
at the Willard parade. One arch on thas
occasion cost 1900.
BUsINEss-LTKE INDIANS.
n delegation of Sioux Indians waited
yesterday afternoon on Mr.. L. A. Larpen-
teaur of the carnival committee who has
the Indians under his charge. They
wanted to have thorough understanding
regarding the terms. 1t was settled that
they were to be clothed, lodged, fed and
heated free, and were also to be allowed,
without paying any fee. to sell bead work
on the ground and to give exhibitions, il
being expected that the spectators would
| voluntarily contribute. The poW-wow
lasted for some time, and altemated
between the offices of Mr.. LarpenteauI
and Mr.. Van Slyck. The former stated
that the work of getting these Sioux
together in all their aboriginal outfit and
customs is exceedingly difficult. as most OF
them have ceased to lead nOmadic life and
| baua hanp 6nmOrol iVn6 a = civil
lzation. However, he was in hopes that
he could muster about 100. and intended to
set up about twenty tepeS or lodges, of
which fifteen have already been completed.
The reports are that number of those in
Dakota have their families nearly congre-
gated. The deputatiOn was headed by
Fairbault, a halfbreed, accompanied by
Tukanahnainani, or Walking-On-Stone, q

of 1852; TaOpi, or the Wounded, a grand
son of old Bess, a well-Known squaw in
