First Exhibition and Judging in the
Ring Held Yesterday.

The first ring showing of the live stock
exhibit took place yesterday afternoon in
the amphitheater west of the Dairy build
ing. Three rings of Jersey females were
brought before the judges. 1t has been
decided that no announcements of awards
shall be made until the close of the exhibit
week from Saturday. At that time, be-
sides the S35 900 prizes offered by the man
agement of the exposition, there will be
about $1,000 distributed in special premi-
ums.
The gathering Of live stock that is now
on the exposition grounds exceeds that at
any similar exhibit ever held in this coun-
try with the exception OF the five stock
show at the Worlds fair in Chicago. AL
though there were a greater number of ami
mails brought together at that time, they
fell far short OF equalng in quality those
of the present exhibit. There are still a
few more entries that are on the way. But
the entries are now practically all in the
barns. There are about 200 head of horses,
700 of cattle, 500 of swine and 600 of sheep.
Among the horses the Clydesdales, Per-
cherons and Hackneys predominant. There
are twelve varieties of cattle, but about
one fourth of the entire number on exhibit
ton are Herefords. There are also a large
number of Holsteins, Jerseys and Short
Horns shown. Among the swine there are
eight distinct breeds. Fine specimens are
shown of the Poland China, Chester White
and Yorkshire varieties. The sheep show
ten breeds, the Lincolnshire, Cotswold and
Leichester predominatng.
Almost all OF the exhibitors are owners
of large stock farms and the entries they
have made are the pick of their pets.
Rarely has any one breeder brought more
than one variety. The Holstein cattle
shown by w. B. Barney I. w. Chappell and
Stephens & Son are attracting a great deal
OF attention, as are also the Red Poled
variety shown by S. A. Converse, j. w.
Martin and McElvey & Son. There are a
few exhibits from Canada in sheep and
swine that are somewhat different from
the varieties that are so common with eX
hbitors from this country. They include a
pen of Yorkshire hogs and a couple of
1ocks OF Lincoln and CotsCold sheep.
The program calls for the showing Of the
| Short Horns, Galloways and Holstein cattle
today. Besides these several of the horses
will be brought into the ring.
An erroneous impression has got abroad
that an extra admission is charged for the
! show. This is wrong. The live stock eX-
hibit is free to all visitors to the exposition.

Tod,, nj the Indian Congress.

This afternoon at 4:30 the Cheyennes
Arapahoes, Sioux and other allied tribes OF
the plains will give a rendition OF the ia
nous Indian ghost dance which attracted
so much attention throughout the country
a few years ago in connection with the
Sioux outbreak and the massacre OF Wounded
Knee. 1t will be given under the supervision
of Prof. James Mooney, the government
chronological expert. who was detailed at
the time of the outbreak to investigate the
new Indian religion and in that capacity
visited nearly every tribe west of the Mis-
souri, and interviewed the original Messiah
in the Sierra Nevadas. Among the partici-
pants this afternoon will be some of the
identical Indians whose frantic performances
under the leadership of Sitting Bull led to
military Intervention.
In the ghost dance men and women to-
gether clasp hands and move around in a
circle to a peculiar step, singing songs of
lamentation for the old life which has gone
by. while the medicine men in the center
of the ring gradually work them into a
frenzy under which the more sensitive sub
| jects finally lose consciousness and go into
| frances in which they have prophetic visions
| of the spirit world to which their departed
| friends have gone. To attain this trance
| condition is the great object OF the dance
| and every means is used by the medicine
men to accomplish this result, making the
! performance one of intense excitement.
Tomorrow Mr.. Mooney will begin the
setting up of his Kiowa Camp circle, a part
| OF which formed the government ethnologic
exhibit at the Nashville exposition. 1t con-
ssts of 100 miniature tepees with heraldic

Missourinns Are surely Coming.

President Sterrett of the Missouri state
commission returned yesterday from st.
Louis where he went some days ago for
the purpose OF working up the details fot
Missouri day at the exposition, which will
be observed on october 10. lie says that the
people of the state are becoming very much
interested and that he will not be surprised
II from 5000 to 10000 Missourians are in
attendance.
President Sterrett has addressed letters to
air of the editors OF the state, urging them
to call the attention Of their readers to the
Missouri date and the rate that the rail-
roads have made from all Missouri points
1 cent per mile. The tickets for the trip to
Omaha will go on sale October s, and will
be limited, so that the parties coming may
return on October 12, thus giving them
from three to four days at the exposition.
AS yet the program for the Missouri day
exercises has not been completed, but it is
in course of preparation by President Ster-
rett and will be out in day or two.

Some days ago Captain Mercer conceived
the idea Of putting on a kind Of a tragedy,
showing how it came about that Sitting
Bull was murdered. In order to do this
it was necessary to have a log house. The
logs were secured and then it became nee
essary to have the house built. AS the Sioux
are the only ones to appear in the play,
it devolved upon them to build the house.
At this point they baked and ntimated that
they are too proud to work. Right at this
point the Pueblos came to the aid of Cap
tain Mercer and informed him that If they
were given an idea of what was wanted
they would build the structure. The cap
tain drew his plans and gave them to the
Pueblos, who dropped the work on their own
house and commenced upon the Sitting Bull
cabin. Early and late they have worked
and now they have it all completed with
the exception of chinking the holes between
the logs. That portion of the work they
about completed yesterday.

HE GETS SOME MORE GLORY.
A-kow-Sick Again Leads the Sioux
MnrriOrs TO GlOriOms NictnrN.

A-hOW-S1ck Again the SIOUX
Warriors TO Glorious Victory.
BY lucky combination OF circumstances
Mr., A-Kow-Sick a young Wichita Indian,
reached up and picked off another victory for
the Sioux Indians at the sham battle fought
yesterday az ,ernoon. He did the same thing
last Tuesday afternoon, and now he is about
the biggest Indian in the whole camp, or at
least he is in his own estimation.
The sham battle yesterday afternoon was
fought along the same lines as many others
that have been seen at the exposition aside
from the fact that some OF the Sioux squaws
injected some snap into tine affair by Civ
ing an illustration OF women lifting the hair
of men.
After the battle was over yesterday after
noon there was a little side play that wa.
not on the regular program. In the past
Crow Ears Flathead and Hits Them All, a
Wichita, have not been the best OF friends.
There has not been any open rupture, but
they have not spoken as they passed by,
Yesterday, when the two men were going
to their respective tepees, they met in the
center of the grounds, near the bandstand.
-ThemAll raised his gun and fired at
Crow Ears feet. Crow Ears returned the
compliment by aiming straight at Hits
Them Alls bread basket and firing a blank
cartridge. At this point both OF the Indians
threw their guns aside and grappled, each
trying to throw the other. They writhed and
tossed for brief period and, breaking away
squared off for a fight. Grow Ears reached
out with his right and landed heavily on
s-Them-All's neck, who countered and
gave Grow Ears a severe punch below the
bel:.

which will be about October 2s at which
time the final butter scoring will occur.
Cheese is coming in from all of the states
OF the transmississppi region in quantities
to insure the success Of the exhibit.
The next scoring Of butter will take place
about October 10, at which time Expert Coll
yer will be here. The exhibits promise 10 be
more numerous than at the September scor-
ing, and at the same time there promises
to be a larger quantity of good butter. The
last scoring during the exposition will take
place during the last days of the month
probably October 2s, For this scoring the
dairymen write that they will make theil
