JACKSON PARK, CHICAGO, June L.
Among the Bismarck visitors at the fair
Yesterday were Hon. Alex. Hughes and
wife, Hon. G. B. Little and wife, and
DR.. Kendrick. Z. A. Lille, formerly of
Bismarck, was also a visitor at North
Dakota headquarters. Mrs. Call is the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Little. Judge
Mcconnell has returned from Indiana
and took in the animal show yesterday,
and recommends the lion-tamer as being
No. l. At a late hour yesterday after
noon he was debating with Mrs. McCon-
nell and himself whether he had best
take in the streets of Cairo, but the
account in the morning papers will
doubtless incline him to adopt my rec.
o%mmendation and go. Buffalo Bill is
pronounced to be up to the proper grade
by all who have inspected it and the
Amazons are now receiving proper at
tention. Frank Plummer might enjoy a
tripto Dahomey, as minister or tiny COM
missioner" from the great Grover, but
before he accepts he had better come
down and get acquainted with the repre-
sentative people Of that country. That
is where woman is in full possession of
all her rights, and among the rights exer-

as she pleases, and then report him to
the king as non grata aud have his head
cut off. I was not enamored by the
maidens of Dahomey. I can see good
reason why that country remained
undiscovered so long-or unexplored.
No real lover of woman or of womanly
attri butes would want to discover or
keep uncovered long such an unlovely
set. The king is said to have sent over
detectives to keep tab on the men, and
every day they enter opposite the name
OF each a record something like this:
Good man" "Ten lashes,' Zone hum
dred lashes," or whatever punishment it
Is adjudged they ought to bear for their
sins of omission or commission. When
they get home they are to take the lick
lngs in the aggregate, and if it is more
than a human being a bear they can
nave their sentence committed to having
their heads cut off. 1t is said that two
Or three of them got Owe into the streets
OF Cairo one evening and are now ready
to have the blood splitting commence.
They would rather gaze On those Egyp.
uan girls a few moments and die, than
go back to Dahomey and be compelled to
see the black mazon of their native
land. The Bismarckers are enjoying
.helr visits to the camps of the people
from foreign lands very much Indeed,
and feel as If they would like to stay all
summer IN order to make the rounds of
all that interests.
Farmer Wallace is doing good work
lot North Dakota at the Northern Pacific
cars. He had over $1,000 callers on the
'o1h, and talked all day of the line of
.ue Northern Pacific, weaving in charm
ing little stories of the wonderful climate
ana resources of North Dakota. Over
4VVo people registered at the Northern
facltc cars on that day.
Inc arrivals from North Dakota are
~! large yet, but those who do come
'eel well repaid for their trip. They are
grained to note the attention attracted
W North Dakota, and at the words Of
praise bestowed upon it.
My tear department has become settled
asaln after the accident to Wells. For
aOre than twelve hours I supposed him
sa"o' and was preparing to go to him
anen Fred telegraphed he was not in
aaAser. Later papers came giving a full
account OF his injuries and the time of
us aeath. This broke me all up again,
aouen l knew to the contrary, and it
LUX a telegram from the doctor in
vu"fee to reassure me. Wells writes me
a"' ne lay for an hour in the only place
~ ruuer that tender where he could have
.eo tor a moment. There were six tons
t %'0al In the tender and the tank was
W. ol water. The space that he lay in
"'s ABOUT a foot by a foot and a half,
%"a The only thing that supported the
t I".er was the drum of the stove. II
"' naa given way he would have been
"sned instantly. The water from the
h.r put out the fire and probably
~ hin back to consciousness. At
10 lime the chances between being
tho o"neo and crushed by the settling of
s no lender were about equal, but he is
f n;la and they say his nerve never
m.'0o MN for a moment. His expert
anu that of Cash, who went through
h;s eo. Tour years ago, and had parts Of
