h Great Chance tor Our Farmers.

1t is not every year that such an oppor-
tunity is offered the farmers of Maine as is
now before them. At the coming State
Fair, Lewiston, September 81, there will
be $25 waiting for the best 10 pounds of
butter sailed with Diamond salt. Fifty
dollars in three prizes for best Oxford
Down lambs. One Babcock milk test cost
ing $l2, for the COW giving largest number
of pounds of butter fat in one day of the
fair. Fifty dollars, in three prizes, for
best four cows, owned by one man, yielding
the largest number of pounds of butter fat
the third day of the fair, and besides these,
all the regular society premiums so liberal
as to be oftentimes criticised, amounting to
nearly seven thousand dollars. Remember
the regular entry fee covers all specials,
and these sums should tempt hundreds to
exhibit. Entries close August Is. Send

the champion high jumping horse of the
world. Just now when cross country riding
Is beginning to attract so much attention
ana has become such fad with the wealth.
Ter classes, along with their other limitations
OF English practices, the breeding of jump
ers is likely to prove very profitable bust
ness for horse raisers. Each succeeding
year sees that class of horse, becoming
more and more valuable. Filemaker is a
large horse of the thoroughbred type. He
stands IL hands, inch high, weighs 1910
pounds, and has a record, made at Taun-
ton, Mass, of clearing bar feet, l-2
inches high. High jumping ponies are also
being quoted at high price. The champion
IN this class is the imported Welsh pony,
Jupiter. He is a little fellow as round as
an apple and as plump as partridge and
stands only As inches high. His record
last February was feet IL inches inch,
high, but he is expected to reach six feet
before the season is over. These champions
are the property of Nine. Marantette, and
che has exhibited them as far away as
Europe, and during the past year she ex-
hibited them at the Mid Winter Fair at San
Francisco. She is also owner of the
champion park and saddle horse of the

SUN DANCE PROHIBITED.

Great Falls Racing Managers Will Defy
the Govern r Anyhow.
GREAT FALLS, Mont, June 8.-There
was CONSERVATION and much wrath
among the managers of the local racing
association when they read in morning
papers the proclamation of Governor
Richards against the carrying out of
their contract with the renegade Cree
Indians for giving the festival called
the "Sun Dance" next week, on the
ground that the dance is "inhuman and
brutalizing, unnatural and indecent, and
therefore abhorrent to Christian civil
zation." Attorneys for Manager Less
ard asked for the issuance of an injunc-
tion yesterday afternoon out of the dis
trict court here, restraining the gov
ernor and local officials from interfering
in any way whatsoever. Hearing upon
the issuance is set for today. Lessard
says that he does not propose to violate
the law; that there is nothing in the
sun dance to constitute such violation,
and that the dance will come off, proc
lamation or no proclamation. Sheriff
Hamilton is positive that it will not.

VIRGINIA FAIRS FIANCE.

John W. Mackay, Jr., Is Said to Be the
Chosen Man.
The story that Miss Virginia Fair,
the younger daughter of Senator Fair
and sister of Mrs. Herman Oelrichs,
who is now in London, is to be married
to Maitland Kersey, the handsome
agent of the White Star line, seems not
to be borne out by the facts as stated
here. The report now states distinctly
that John W. Mackay, Jr., is to be
the lucky man. He is who is said to
be engaged to the California beauty,
and those who take a sentimental in
interest in such things find it much
more suggestive of pretty romance
than a union with the handsome Eng
lishman would be.
Miss Fair has had many suitors, ard
young Mr.. Mackay and her have known
each other from childhood. Their re.
spective fathers were comrades in
early struggling days, and always allies
and friends through the greater for
tunes of later years. A marriage be-
tween the two children would, there.
fore, round ont the romance of the
great gold and silver eras OF the west
In a manner most approved by the
novelist, which means BY every man or

BUFFALO, jane S.-The northern part
of the city, known as Kensington' Is all
agog today with the story of tie elope'
ment of pretty Molly shrively a I'D the
exciting pursuit made by her BROTHER
Rev. William Shrively, the dignided
pastor of the Kensington Methodist
Episcopal church. Miss Shrively lived
with her brother until yesterday. She
was in love with young carpenter
named Bert Sayles, but her brother dis
approved of the match and when he
found the lovers meeting clandestinely
he put a close watch on Molly. Last
night he looked out of his study window,
where he was preparing his sermon,
and deserted the couple making their
way rapidly up the street in the rain.
Mr.. Shrively was only partly attired.
He opened the window and shouted
to his sister to come back. Instead,
Molly and Bert started across fields
through the deep grass. The preacher
started in pursuit without hat, coat or
vest. He overlook the couple half
mile from the house. Young Sayles
grappled with him, threw him down,
sat on him and cried "run, Molly, rum"
Molly did run, and finally took refuge
in the house of J. J. Warren. Then
Sayles released the preacher and ran.
He and Molly went into the garnet OF
the Warren house, but when Rev. Mr..
Shrively arrived Mr.. Warren ordered
them out. Sayles refused to go. Two
policemen were summoned and Sayles
was forced to evacuate, leaving Molly
behind. Then Mr.. Shrively took his
sister by force and put her into War
ren's buggy. which stood in front of the
house, and made dash for his home.
Sayles ran along behind the carriage,
and as the roads were muddy, managed
to keep up with the horse. When the
buggy drew near the front of the house
Molly jumped out and ran in, locked
the door behind her, barring out her
brother. Then she ran to the rear
door and passed out into the stable.
Her brother did not discover her escape
until he had searched the whole house.
In the meantime Sayles had joined the
girl AID they ran on to his brothers
house, where they were married at II
o'clock that night by Rev. James Barry,
pastor of the Church of the Good Shep-

friend of Miss Russell was let into the

Dsa. h and Devastation.

VICTORIA, B. c., June s.-Passengers
arriving here bring graphic reports of
the disasters along the Fraser and the
Canadian Pacific railway. Bridges,
trestles, tunnels and tracking along the
Canadian Pacific railway are gone, and
though the railway company has force
of over 1000 men in all on the scene of
danger, working night and day, the
best that can be done is to prevent fur
Their damage where this is possible.
Strange scenes are those presented to
this sturdy band of workers as they ad-
vance-scenes of death, of desolation,
of despair.
The mighty floods have already begun
to give up their dead. Floating on the
Fraser at Ruby Greek workmen found
a small raft, its sole cargo being the
dead bodies of an entire family
mother, father and three little ones.
The only supposition is that they had
been floating at the mercy of the flood
for several days, until after season OF
terrible suffering they entered upon
their eternal rest. The bodies were
found securely tied together. The name
of the family is unknown. There were
no papers by which to identify them.
They were buried in common grave.
"Down at North Bend" said one gen.
tleman, 1--WE began to get more specific
news of the appalling disaster. Miles
and miles of what had been fertile
fields were now only wastes, over which
the black torrents were pouring, tear
ing away dwellings, crushing down
barns and fences, and hurting great
trees about like corks.
"Here we heard of the first of what
will probably prove long list of fatal
tiles. When the food was at its high
est point a raft was seen far out in the
stream. As it passed the town man
was seen to stagger to his feet and call
across the water. A glass showed that
two others were with him, but both had
apparently given up all hope and were
lying prone on the logs. 1t was mad
