THE BIG FAIR.
WORLDS FAIR GROUND.
CHICAGO, AUGUST 21, 1893.
(From our. speclal oorrespondent. J


Savage rite of savage men chilled
the blood of 10, 600 persons on the east
ern bank of the south pond Thursday
night. Four Quackkahl indians on q
float fifty feet from the bank went
through performance which will last
as long as memory in the minds of
those who witnessed it. The Indians,
with heavy twine strings fastened
through slits in their bare backs, raced
around the narrow platform driven by
two other Indians who seemed to take
wild pleasure in the act. Little riv-
ulets ofblood trickled from the cuts
down the bronzed backs. Around and
around they ran, leaping, twisting and
diving till it seemed to the horror
stricken spectators that each instant
would see the flesh torn from their
bodies. Then came the acme ofsavae;e
enjoyment. Two sturdy natives
stepped out from the crowd that bord-
ed the edge of the float. Advancing,
each seized one of the men who had
been subjected to the torture. The
drivers braced themselves for strain.
Great ridges of flesh stood out on the
backs of the Indians. Fresh Jets of
blood spurted in red streaks. The
fiickering red light cast On uneaTthIy
shadow on the grewsome scene. Wom-
en- on the shore shut their ewes, while
men turned away their heads. Then

of the tomtoms, the shrill rattle OF
gourds and the monotonous chant
which told of valiant deeds In war,
and the case melted the braves to
further effort. At last IL was done
One final tear an the cords gave way,
while the realeased flesh fell back into
its normal position.
Freed from the torture, one of the
men seemed to 60 wild. A heavy ma.
tive rope was twined under his arms
and about his shoulders, and he con.
| tinued the dance. Ever with him one
of his friends held the thongs which
bound him. AT times he would make
desperate efforts to free himself
Grinding his teeth and emitting gut

PRoF. FAss over at the Wood county
teachers institute says that perusal of
Longfellow's Rainy Day" will put
sunshine in the heart. The Prof. is
rather optimistically inclined or has
not kept pace with the money market
of late. 1t will take something little
more substantial than few lines of
"Be still sad heart" etc, to make
hilarity effervesce in these parts. A
little application of sack cloth and
ashes would be more in harmony.
Poetry is alright on full stomach,
but not now-not now, Prof.

ISAAC D. SMEAD is again at the head
of the manufacturing establishment at
Toledo which bears his name. In
speaking of Mr.. Smead's reinstatement,
the Toledo Saturday Record says that
"severai men who took advantage OF
the hard times to attempt to steal the
Colonel's property and make fortune
upon his good name and great fame
put their fingers too deeply in the fire
and were roasted to an elegant brown.
Served them right. 1t requires brains,
not schemers, to manage business
like the Smead plant.n

Not . Miracle, Now.

Until recently Consumption was
considered incurable, but now people
are beginning to realize that the disease
Is not incurable. The cure of Consump-
tiOn is not miracle, now. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery will cure 1T,
II taken in time and given fair trial.
This world-renowned remedy will not
make new lungs, but it will restore
diseased ones to q healthy state when
other means have failed. Thousands
gratefully testify to this. 1t Is the most
potent tonic, or strength-restorer, al
terative, or blood-cleanser, and nutrl-

cal science. For Weak Lungs, Spitting
Of Blood, Liver Complaint and

equaled remedy.

The proposition advanced In a communica-
ton printed elsewhere in The Star-that an
effort be made to secure some or all Of the
wild animals now on exhibition at the
worlds fair. that they may decorate and
make more interesting the Geological Park
established by Congress and supported to
the extent Of one half the cost by the tax
payers of the District of Columbia-should
be acted upon at once. II we must have a
Geological Park. and Congress has SO de-
creed. We might as well have a good one.
and in order that our collection of wild
natural history specimens may compare
favorably with the great collections existing
IN other cities. there must be an increase in
our stock. 1t Is quite certain that many of
the foreign exhibitors would willingly donate
many OF the animals We need, because the
brutes would fetch but little. either at auc-
ton or private sale and would cost a great
deal to re-transport. Those officials who are
most deeply Interested in the Zoo should not
let so good an opportunity escape.
