The rlinstrel Show.

The San Francisco Minstrels appeared
at the Howe Opera House last Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings. On Wednes-
day evening the house was crowded and
some parts of the entertainment were
above the average, while other parts
were not equal to entertainments that
have been given by local talent. As
the curtain rose on the first part the eff.
feet was very pretty and the singing by
the company and soloists was very
line. Lahore, the contortionist gave
some interesting and difficult acts on
lying rings. DeForest West gave an imi-
tation OF prima donna that was with
out doubt the best ever seen in town and
Hugh McVey as club juggler is seldom
equalled. = e........s,

Architect Packard has been fortunate
in securing William w. lyric as an
associate. The quality of work which
enabled Mr.. lyric to finish his course at

commissions in different parts of the coun-
try lead one to believe that such work
as comes in the future from Mr.. Pack
ards office will be even better than here
tofore.

Ell Captain.

Judging from the reception accorded
Ell CAPTAIN at the Howe Opera House
Monday night, it was complete success.
From the moment the curtain rises on
the first act until it falls on the third
there is one continuous round of surprise
and pleasure. The music is all of the
march style, which has made Sousa so
famous and the play by Charles Klein is
a masterpiece. William c. Vaudeville,
as Viceroy of Peru, worked with unfag-
ging zeal and Edward Wilkes, the dimu-
tive comedian was decidedly popular.
The vocal work Of Kate Michaelena,
and Neia Rose was excellent and Mad
lene Lach as soubrette, was popular from
the start. The opera was extravaganza
ly mounted aud costumed.
1t had been intended and SO advertised
to have the st. Johnsbury Band appear
in the second act, but wing to the great
difference in pitch between the band and
orchestra it was found impossible to use
them together.

After the Fair.

The Caledonia County Fair really
began Wednesday morning as far as the
attendance and attractions were con-
cerned and for the ut xt two days there
was no cessation of fun and pleasure.
The weather was perfect and on Wednes-
day there were nearly 5000 people on the
grounds and on Thursday about 1000.
The receipts were the best for many years
and the directors hope to have surplus
above all expenses when the bills are
paid.
The bicycle parade on Wednesday
morning was the best ever seen in st.
Johnsbury and great credit is due to
Carl H. Turner and his committee for
such an excellent parade. About rs
gaily-decorated wheels were in line and
the judges had considerable difficulty in
awarding the prizes.
The prizes were as follows: For gen.
temen's wheel, Floyd Holmes represent
ing James Ritchie's store, black, white
and lavender ribbon and asters; second,
Arthur Weber representing the Brooks
Tyler store, red, white and blue ribbon
and banner; third, George Rice, yellow
and white. For ladies' wheels, first,
Rubie Hicks, representing H. A. Belknap's
store, pink and white; second, Esinore
Brock, popcorn and white; third, Alice
Parkhurst, red, white and blue ribbon,
representing the store Of Lougee Broth
ers & Smythe. A special prize was given
the trio consisting Of Herbert Lamphere
as Uncle Sam with Lizzie Peck as Porto
Rico and Harold Lake as Cuba.
The vaudeville attractions on the
special platform pleased the crowd i'm
mensely and gave general satisfaction.
The clowns and acrobats did good work
and the trick pony was very clever. The
pony is an Arabian and came from the
Cars private stables at st. Petersburg.
Richard Eastmans photograph was
heard to good advantage by many on
the grand stand and to many this was
the first opportunity they had ever had
of hearing this talking machine.
The Japanese day fireworks added to
the interest in the afternoon programmes
and were set off in the center of the
grounds north OF the judges stand. C..
c. Bonette made two excellent balloon
ascensions with parachute drop. The
st. Johnsbury Band furnished fine music
the last two days of the fair.
The races did not fill as good as antici-
pated, but there was close race each
day. A serious accident was averted on
Wednesday afternoon by quick work on
the part of the horse trainers. Just as
the second heat of the 2.22 class had
started the sukies Of Nixon and Dia-
mond F. colided and Diamond F.'s tire
collapsed. Then as the home stretch
was reached Almout x. and Cardinal
Wilkes collid ed. Cardinal Wilkes driver
was thrown. The horse came down on
the home stretch all right and was
stopped at the wire by having blanket
thrown over his head. We give the
summary Of the races elsewhere.

| sageway leading into the living rock, and
a few feet back of the entrance stood a
dead Indian. stuffed in a lfelike manner
and holding a bent bow with it's arrow
guarding the entrance.
'He passed beyond the dead Indian to
place where the cleft widened and there
on shelves on each side of him he saw
ranged row after row of magnificently
carved gold plate, bowls and dishes of all
kinds. He was going forward to exam
Inc them closer when he heard a sharp
hiss and saw before him an immense rat
tlesnake cooled in the ditch in the center
of the passage and ready to strike. He
was preparing to kill the RATHER when
some one threw a blanket over his head
and he was grabbed on all sides. He
was led blindfolded out of the cavern to
Il place on the other side of the mountain.
where the blanket was removed and he
found himself surrounded by a band of
Pueblo Indians They warned him never
to come back. on peril Of his life, and
after that he had a Mexican on his
ranch who showed him where to find the
cleft again, but he was caught ana
turned loose as before. The Mexican was
never seen alive again. A third
Tune he was shown the cleft by an In
dian, and both were captured near the
entrance. The white man was turned
loose. but the Indian was placed in the
center Of a circle four feet in diameter.
and was compelled to remain there for
twcnty-four hours. Other Indians stood
guard, and if he had crossed the line
within that time he would have been in
stantly Killed.
My friend says this particular tribe OF
Indians guards these treasures night AMI
day, as Il religious duty. On the noun
tam near the treasure Is a big tree. and
there the outer watchmen stand, two al
a time. Each couple watches for TWEEN
fN-1our hours on Il stretch. On going to
the tree they carry with them two fcath-
erS, which are given them by the chief
and these they place in holes in the tree
When they are relieved from their long
vigil they take from the tree two feath-
crs which have been left by the guard
that preceded them. These feathers they
must give to the chief. who knows by
some peculiar mark whether they are the
right ones.
or course YOU want to know why these
Pueblo Indians keep up this watch Wed
1t Is religious duty with them. If you
VIII go 10 visit this tribe you Will see
them all come out of their tents at day
break ami watch with their hanls shad-
ing their eyes for the sunrise. They be-
llcNe that some bright morning they shall
see their ancient king ana hero, Monte

on the back of an eagle. and that then

been faithful he Will rule over them for
