to attend the fair, and this public spir
tied conduct probably considerably in
creased the attendance. Today will,
however, be the great day of the fair.
The management have decided to make
Wild Montana day the biggest day of
the whole fair, and to this end they
have been securing the country for jack
rabbits, coyotes and other wild products
of Montana and propose to have wild
and woolly time. Two live wolves and a
case of live rattle snakes were on exhibi.
tion at the fair ground yesterday. Ar
rangements have been made to get herd
of wild range cattle in for the great rop-
ing contest, aud at least dozen old
cowboys have announced their intention
to compete for the association prize
The riding contest with buckiug bron-
chos gives promise of providing whole
barrel of fun for the spectators, and one
bold rider asserts that he will agree not
only to ride any horse on the grounds,
but also any steer without bride or sad
die. Altogether today will furnish the
climax to the fair, which has furnished
attractions every day we'll worth seeing.
l t will be the last opportunity to zee DR.,
Carver's wonderful shooting, and he
promises to make an extra effort today
to show the people what he can do with
his rifle and shot gun.
After DR.. Carver's shooting was fin
ished yesterday, amid the enthusiastic
applause of the immense crowd foot
race was called. 1t was 1OO-yard dash
and there were five entries. The race
was won by Alex. r.. trew, in IL
seconds. The other runners came in in
the following order: Lee Tutt, Lone Chief,
Trottnow, McLear.
DoNNELLYS S SPEECH.
The grand stand was thrown open and
made free in order to afford every person
an opportunity to hear Ignatius Don
nellys speech. He was received with
great applause. 1t is scarcely possible in
a short synopsis to do justice to his ad-
dress, which was full of brilliant points
and periods from beginning to end, and
sparkling with wit and humor. The fol-
lowing will give some faint idea of it
however: He commenced by saying he
was glad to meet this audience, because
they were, in his judgment, represent
!. atives of the greatest people on earth.
Darwin in his work on "1he Origin of
Species" pointed to the United States as
An illustration Of his doctrine of natural
selection. He claimed that America was
settled by the smartest and most enter
| oi r>f ho rll hot
, Liberty, as il we're, standing on the At
, lantic coast of this continent called in
trumpet tones to the most courageous
and progressive people of the cid world
to come and assist in the founding of a
new state. The cowardly and timid, the
ignorant and unprogressive did not re-
epond, SO that the pick of the old world
alone were concerned in founding
the new world. Thus ii came that a
great nation was built up on the At
lantic coast. The most enterprising of
these again went west to Illinois
and Ohio, and later to Minnesota,
: and third emigration settled Mon
J tana. so that it's people may
be considered Il sort Of extract Of the eX-
tract Of The ablest people ia the world.
After referring to the great water power
and natural riches Of the state he said
thar he expected people now listening to
him would live to see mllions Of people
; living in this state and it's towns Of today
become lordy cities. Montana was a
: wonderful state. 1t reminded him Of a
Pennsylvania man who Dragged of his
land and declared that he raised 800
acres of crop on lG0 acres Of land. Being
,, asked how this was possible he said in
his country they turned the land up on
; eud and cultivated both sides OF it. In
Montana herds Of cattle grazed 90 the
top of the land while the miner took the
, rich ore from underneath il, so that it
: might he said that they were cultiVating
both sides OF the land in this state.
> After dwelling on the history Of this
country, reviewing the lives Of its great
Z men, Mr.. DonnoIly touchodon the silver
question. He said that the forces o
y greed and cunning have taken q meta
that was used as money as Tar back q
d human history has any record they
} have taken silver, that was used at
{, money by Abraham when he bought the
u cave Of MacpeHh as Il burial place fol
J. his beloved wife Sarah, and that for al
the countless ages since and, perhaps
for tens OF thousands of years before tho
time Of Abraham was money in the
world, and have swept it out Of exist
3 ence. What for? 70 reduce the circu
It lating medium and cheaper by compar
d isnn all the products of the world. Th'
:, speaker finished by tribute TO Grca
, FalIs and the state of Montana, express
E ing the hope that he might meet al
present again on some future occasion
