The Sioux braves and their squaws enjoyed
a dog feast Wednesday afternoon at the viii
lage on the East Bluff tract. The cere-
monies connected with the banquet OF
CANNES are strange ones handed down from
generation to generation and were partially
given in this instance much to the interest
of a large number OF spectators. The dog
was brought out into a formal circle and
there slaughtered with peculiar perform
ances. After this the meat was boiled and
the choice parts were served, first to the
chiefs and their relatives and then the other
members OF the tribe were allowed to par
take OF the meat.
After the feast was over the braves, In
their war paint, engaged In a dance OF re-
joicing. The gyrations OF the e~cstatic men
were something worth going miles to see
and their antics caused much amusement.
About seventy red men took part and there
was great Joy expressed on all sides.

SCENTS ALONG THE MIDWAY.
Indian Dog Fcnst Entertnins n Good
Sized Crowd.

Odd Fellows day and the annual celebra-
ton and dog feast given by the Indians
yesterday made up one of the most interest
ing programs of the season, and 1t was a
noticeable fact that there were more
strangers on the grounds, in proportion to
the crowd, than any day since the opening.
That they were out for a good time goes
without saying. Two OF the shows
especially had about all they could attend
to, and as a result the Deep Sea Divers and
the Scenic railway are correspondingfy
happy. Captain Louis Sorcho of the Deep
Sea Divers has been adding greatly to his
already good reputation as an expert, the
past week breaking the worlds record for
endurance by staying under water several
hours longer than any diver known;
by his thorough knowledge of the business
and his ability as a lecturer he succeeds in
giving one Of the best features from an
educational standpoint to be seen on the
Midway.
Manager McVay OF the Scenic railway
was on hand attending to the crowds and
seemed to enjoy the sight of every one hav-
ing a good time. They were all of the
opinion that for good innocent sport there
was nothing to compare with 1t.

1t is reported here that the supreme court
has affirmed the decision OF the district
court wherein Mayor Ensor and Police
Officer Hydock were fined 5000 each for vio-
lating a restraining order issued by Judge
Fawcett last spring. At this time Ed
Johnston secured an order from the court
restraining the mayor and police from in
terfering with the method of registration
In vogue at the voting precincts in the
Fourth ward. After securing this order
Johnston asserts that he was elected from
the booth and placed under arrest by Off
Ger Hydock. When Judge Fawcett had
fined the mayor and policeman al appeal
to the superior court was taken, but now
the fine must be paid.

a PYRoTECHNIC BLAZE.
Spontaneous Combustion Destroys a
Big stock of Fireworks


The stock of fireworks in the storage
warehouse of Guy, Curran & Co., in Union
court, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth and
l. and Nj Streets, was almost completely
destroyed by fire yesterday morning about
s o'clock, and the loss, with the damage
done to the building will amount to So, 500
The blaze was caused by spontaneous COM
bustion IN a lot of fireworks on the first
floor of the building which is built on the
plan of dwelling house and is two stories
high.
The residents in the vicinity Of the place
were startled by the terrific explosion, and
instantly smoke, flames, and cinders were
seen pouring through the broken windows
Of the warehouse. An alarm of fire was
turned in and the fire department was soon
at work. The fiTemen were delayed some
what in entering the building by the closed
door and barred windows. The door was
broken open, however and a stream OF
water was soon trained On the blaze with
the result that in comparatively short
time the flames were completely extin-
guished and the stock In the building sat
urated with water.
Owing 10 the combustible character of the
goods stored within, neither the building
nor the stock was insured The building
is the property of James CHrran, a mem
Der Of the firm TO which the stock belonged.
