property, both real and personal Other

daylight streams of loaded wagons and car
riages poured in until the streets in the
central part of the city were a hopeless
jam of vehicles. Guards had to be placed
in the outskirts to direct the masses around
to the grounds. The first feature of the
day was the exhibition drill by the famous
Indianapolis Light Artillery under Cap
tain J. b. Curtis. This followed by a
drill of the Cheftains' League, of Terre
Haute. The company consisted of twenty
eight men. dressed in the continental SOL

industrial parade, participated in by fully
eight hundred Red Men. together with dec
GRATED business wagons. The particular
feature of the parade was an Indian bras
band, and Okaloosa Tribe, No 227, in full
warrior dress. At the fair ground the
Great Council had a session, and was
served with the barbecue and "burgoo -
after which fully ten thousand people were
fed at the long tables in sight of the
smoking pits and simmering "burgoo'' ket-
ties The barbecue consisted of twelve fat
beeves, which were carved by expert butch
ers and served with bread. With each piece
of meat was given a lineup of 'burgoo"
and crackers. The "burgoo' had been made

meats, including some wild game Bur
