The Work of Months Wiped
Out by Flames.
NEWS AND NOTES OF IDAHO.
A Meeting of the City
Council Held.

Worlds Fair Commissioner Wells
yesterday received word that the
greater portion of car load of the
Idaho Worlds Fair exhibit had been
burned near Kimball, Neb., while
enroute to Chicago. The car was ship
ped with two others several days ago.
1t contained the agricultural exhibit of
Nez Perce and Washington counties,
portion of the taxidermy exhibit
two oil paintings, and some other arti-
cles, The news of the destruction of
the contents of the car was received by
the commissioner from Superinten-
dent w. II. Bancroft, of Ogden, who
said what little had been saved from
the flames was held at Council Bluffs.
Commissioner Wells Immediately
wired to have it sent on to Chicago.
The car was loaded at Riparia with
the Nez Perce agricultural exhibit and
brought to Weiser where the agricultu-
raj exhibit of Washington county was
placed in it. This not filing the car
it was taken to Nampa where portion
of the exhibit which had been collected
in this city was loaded into it; this en-
braced portion of the taxidermy ex
hibit. Two moose, two mountain
lions, mountain sheep and an ibex, al
mounted, besides number of birds,
etc., were placed in the car at Nampa,
together with paintings Of Shoshont
Falls, the work of Salmon City art
ist. The Ada county agricultural ex
hibit was fortunately placed in anothe
car, and this is the only display in tha
line that will be seen at the exposition
The intrinsic value of the lost exhibi
of Idaho agricultural products was no
great. But the loss cannot be esti
: mated in dollars and cents. 1t repre-
:, sents the work of months, with the
: attendant expense, undone in almost
moment by the fire fiend.
Most, if not all, of the exhibit tina
u has been destroyed belonged to tn
i state, and no loss, it is thought, wi
- be sustained by any persons VIII
} loaned articles to be placed on exhib
= ton. All such exhibits, or the create
d" portion of them, were placed in othe
- cars and are by this time very nef
their destination.
" Commissioner Wells yesterda
y evening wired Assistant Commissions
Case, who is now in Chicago, to dii
~ continue the work of building the az
ricultural pavilion, where the agr
" cultural exhibit was to have bee
>" displayed. What remains of tn
- exhibit will be placed somewhere els
- The pavilion would have cost abo
" $2500 when completed. The exhit
+ was to have been arranged in the mo
beautiful manner. Statesman 9Th.

THREE NATIVES OF PIKE.

he pulled in the remainder Of the line.
Holding it aloft he showed the hook
Strengthened out and the bait gone.
The other Pixies went down to the
waters edge and each in turn examined
what had been ON the hook. One of
them then made mark on the beach
with his foot, stepped off about six
PAGES and made another mark. All
three stood looking at the marks for a
time, when the second of Bucks pards
marked about two feet farther. With
sneering expression on his face Buck
took up two cobblestones, and placing
them some twenty-five feet apart turned
10 his companions, who gazed first at
the two stones and then at Buck in the
greatest establishment. Buck gave an
affirmative nod, and apparently that
settled it; the faces of his companions
cleared up at once.
The Pixies came up to where we were
seated, when Buck broke the silence by
saying: Scents, l own that I'm aston
ished. Thare air catfish in that lake
that it would be with any mans while
50 ketch. He's almost like one of the
ole Mississippi cats. He's got wagon
load of meat in him."
Altogether it was very. creditable
piece of pantomime, and there was no
saying that the actors had not earned
another treat.
Meantime sauntered down to where
Buck had been seated and saw the piece
of flannel shirt that had been on the
hook lying just under the water. In.
hauling in the wire Buck had cunningly
planted his foot on it, thus Strengthening
out his hook and stripping off the bait.

CHAPTER III.
THE STORY OF THE THIRD PIKE.

After another ibation poured to the
''rosy god," the third Pike, who was
called 'Lige, said: II never had no ad-
venturs, bein alters engaged in trade
and speculation, but Bud Growers &C
count of his performin turtles naturally
brings to mind my great tarrapin spec
erlation, Hearin of the big prices that
was bein paid for tarrapin stews in
Washoe and California in the airly and
flush times of the silver mines by min
ing superintenders, big lawyers, sports
and highfiers in gineral, l concluded to
make bold stroke for a forth.
81 collected all the tarrapin l could
find in Missouri; then had brought to me
all that the niagers and white trash in
Kaintucky, Tennessee and Arkansaw
could skeer up. When ali the tarrapin
had come in they covered four sections
of land as thick as the cobblestones in
an old st. Louis pavement. All the peo-
pie for fifty miles around come to- see
the sight. Every son of gun of 'em
tried to pump me to find out what was
goin to do with them four sections of
tarrapin. kept mum or told 'em lies.
Not soul suspected that / was preparin
to make great tarrapin drive acrost the
plains to Washoe and California.
"When got ready to start my drove
l found / couldn't do the fust thing
toards gittin 'em in line. When I'd start
a quarter section or so of 'em ahead the
rest would begin movin out sideways,
and would soon be so scattered that l
had to raise all the niggers in the county,
big and little, to go round 'em, whip 'em
in and get 'em massed agin.
"After three or four attempts at start
in the drove an ole niger came into my
camp one night bout midnight. His har
was white as wool and he looked more'n
a hundred year old. He wore sort of
breechclout made of 'possum skins, but
nary another stitch of buds. The ole
Teller stood over six feet high and was
straight as an arrer. He looked bout
the same as any other ole niger, except
his head and face, which made me think
of big snappin turtle.
''By rattle the ole Teller had in his
hand, and by the string Of snake heads
and things he had round his neck, l seed
that the ole Teller was a hoodoo doctor
The ole man told me there was only one
way of gettin my drove of tarrapin start
ed and maxim 'em travel-I must git for
their leader the 'tarrapin king
81 asked whar the king of tara pins
was to be got. The ole doctor told me
he was in tho big lake in New Madrid

of eighteen hundred and eleven and
twelve. l asked him how was to git
this 'tarrapin king and the ole man
said he'd-git him for me. l asked how
much he'd charge and when he'd bring
him. The ole Teller said that if I'd give
him one of my tarrapin that he'd pick
out and little niger boy that had
I'd find the tarrapin king standin be-
side my tent at daylight in the mornin.
81 agreed to this, for the little niger
was SIGH devil that could do nothin
with him, and as for the one tarrapin it
didn't signerfy Their snap of finger.
But how the king of the tarrapin was to
travel so far in few hours l couldn't
see. The ole doctor said that was his
business; all he wanted was for me to
shake hands on the bargain. reached
out my hand and shook, and feelin in
the palm of my hand somethin sharp,
like claws, l looked and swar the ole
Teller had hands like the fore feet of a
big snappin turtle.

and began to shake his rattle, In bout

''The ole man took the tarrapin up in
his hands and began talkin to it in some
kind of hoodoo lingo. Turnin to me he
told me he was instructor the tarrapin
to go and bring the king

This bit of impromptu pantomime
ended, we expected to see the Pixies take
their leave. But no such thing.
All three seated themselves comfort
ably before our tent, and borrowing"
little tobacco they filled their pipes.
After smoking for time Buck opened
put ON a new lay.
"Gents," said he, "you see it don't

down to the south end of ole Missouri,
nigh to the Arkansaw line. I've been a

second son was turned loose in the woods
to shift for himself bout as soon as he
wur weaned. They had SO many chill
dren down thar that they didn't keer to
raise more'n bout half of 'em. What
was done with the extra gals l never
found out. When the extra boy was
big enough to run alone they put new
breechclout on him, hung bunch of
hosshar round his neck, tuck him down
20 the river bottoms and turned him
loose to root, hog or die.
"The woods along up the river for fifty
miles above the Arkansaw line wur full
of wild Missourians of all ages and sizes.
After the first breechclout wur worn
ont all went naked, and soon they wul
covered with coat of har' as long as the
beard of goat. If the people evel
wanted any of the wild woods breed
they sot trap for 'em, ketched 'em
picked 'em clean of the extra har, pu
clothes on 'em and set 'em to work"
"Why," asked l, did they give eacl
boy bunch of horsehair when the!
turned him loose?"
"Waal, because the people down tina
