THElWILD WEST SHOW.
A Sunday visit to the Camp Ground by a
Reporter.

Sir Samuel Baker dedicated one of his
books "To all boys from eight years old
to eightyn and between those ages, the
boys of Portland were represented yes
terday out on the grounds of the Wild
West show, led by Pawnee Bill. And
with the boys were good many others,
and they were all asking questions, and
looking about.
There is something very attractive in
show of the sort organized by Major W.
Lille, the man who led the wild rush in
to Oklahoma, and who is known all
through the West as aPawnee Bill" If
anything a wild west show east, is more
attractive than circus. OF course all
that could be done yesterday was to look
around.
The Indians were the great attraction.
There is good deal of difference between
a Maine Indian and one of the Sioux
tribe. The ordinary Maine citizen knows
that the Maine Indian is maker of
baskets, and a river driver, while there is
a certain degree of romance attached to
those who are with Pawnee Bill, almost
enough to justify what young lady said
when a tall, thin, calm looking old Indian
passed, II wonder where he keeps his
scalps."
A group of these Sioux Indians, erect,
and with very soldier-like bearing,
attracted great attention. They kept
we'll together, and at last took to the
sidewalk. An Indian woman and her
child also attracted general notice, and
degree of attention apparently hardly
pleasing to the mother who carried her
child strapped to her back.
1t was pay day yesterday, but the
Indians were not disposed to draw
money. One brave looking Indian wanted
it to be understood that $35 was due him.
Having settled that matter he drew u
and let the rest stand Pawnee Bill has
some good horses, and the cowboys,
Mexicans and Indians are among the best
riders in the world The men are used
to camp, rather than city, and seemed
verv much at home in the tents.
The wigwams of the Indians are inside
the enclosure where the performance will
take place today. Each one is ornamented
with pictures drawn by the Indians
themselves, and supposed to show to his
fellow tribesmen the name and style OF
the owner. The pictures themselves are
only shade better than the cuts Ben
Bunker used a few years ago when he
was publishing paper and getting
material for his book on Maine politics.
There was crowd constantly about
the old stage coach yesterday. 1t looks
ancient enough to have crossed the plains
many times, and very likely Hank"
Monk, and other early stage drivers had
no BETTER 1t may be the very coach in
which Horace Greeley to ok his immortal
ride. The camp was well looked over
yesterday. Frcm.the cooks tent to the
aschooner" of the plains, every thing
that could be seen was examined, and the
torrent of questions rained down on

A NICE POSITION.
The City Sued to Pay for Breach of Con
tract with the Water Company.

Saturday, the] Portland Water Com
pany, through their attorneys, Payson,
Virgin and Davis, brought suit against
the city to recover the sum of $4,000 al
legged to be due the company from the
city for the use of water by the city in
drinking fountains and other place..
The writ recites that on September "a,
1870, an agreement was made between
the city and company, whereby the latter
was to furnish water for drinking foun-
tains at various places, for water closets,
for sprinkling in front fthe City build
ing and to the engine houses for the trial
of engines and flushing of sewers. The
city was to pay therefor $4,000 year in
semi-annual payments. It is claimed
that the agreement has remained in
force since then. But the sum of So, 900
due January 1, 1898, and the same sum
due July /, 1898 have not been paid and
this suit is brought to recover these
sums.
The writ further claims that the above
mentiond agreement was ratified June 7,
1887, by contract in writing entered in
to by the plaintiff corporation and de-
PENDANT corporation and the terms of
this contract have been broken by the
non-payment of the $4,000 mentioned
above.
The writ is returnable at the October
term of the Supreme Judicial Court in
this city.
This suit is the result of the refusal of
the last City government to make the
semi-annual payments to the Water
Company, as has been done regularly for
over twenty years past. Mayor Ingra-
cam claimed that the city ought to have
free the water used as above described.

everybody who could talk at all, showed
that Portland people are interested and
will be out today. Pawnee Bill seems to
have made good the promises given by
his posters, and everything on the bills,
will be seen" as one of the men assured
a farmer who replied, "Then b'gosh I'll
bring the whole family in" That farmer
fell into the hands of cowboy who
filled him up with the widest sort of
wild western stories.
The parade will take place at 10 a. m.
today and the performances at and 9

Caught in the Tolls

OF that lurking foe, chllls and fever, we often
struggle vainly to free ourselves from the clutch
Palliatives there are without numbers, but
if you want real remedy, as of course
you do if afflicted with this abominable
malady, hasten to procure and persistentfy
use Hostetter'S Stomach Bitters. If you
ton to health will reward you Every form
of malarial disease is permanently eradi-
Gated by the Bitters, which is likewise
reliable safeguard against maladies of this
type. Not alone on this continent. but
throughout the tropics, it is justly regarded as
complete antidote to miasma poison in air
or water. No less effective is it for disorders
kidney complaints and nervousness. No one
sejourning in the nalarieus region, or who is
subjected to outdoor exposure in rough
strain, should be without this fine defensive
tonic.
