AS in former carnivals the toboggan
slides are the center of attraction for
a goodly share of the carnivaliers. The

opposite directions, so that the tobog-
gamer has but little walking to do.

the wholesalers club for this evening
at 7:45, in the Frost block on Fourth
street. Officers will be elected, and

rude tepees in which they are housed.

style and nearly 100 strong Two cars
were necessary for their transporta-

band-through whose veins trickle the
pure blood of the Sioux-is made up of
the gallant hand-painted bucks. but
Mrs. Indian came too, about dozen or
fifteen in number and while she may
not be as pretty as the buck. she is just
as active and wears just as many col
orS. The band vas met at the union
depot by number of directors, Frank
Palmer, the post trader, through whose
kindly office the scheme to bring down
the redskins was made possible-and a

bundled into bus and We're taken di-
rectly to the grounds, while the men,
radiant with paint, feathers and Indian
trinkets, marched proudly through the
streets to Fort Karnival, where they
threw together their tepees, and in a
remarkably short time were cooking
their evening meal. AS they marched
out of the union depot a natty, bright
eyed little negresS caught a glimpse OF
a stalwart big Indian with a Caesar
ian cast of countenance, who was got
ten UP regardless in the matter of plu-
mage and sleigh bells and colored rib
bon, and having received a glance full
of meaning from the redman, took up
her place beside him and marched off
to Aurora park. The little incident was
