drew up I'm line and escorted the king
to the stand. where he was declared
king Of the street fair ard carnival and
entire Butte for the evening.
At 1880 o'clock the king and queen
and their attendants left for Columbia
gardens where the Overland club gave
an invitation dance.
Although the young men expected a
much larger attendance at the party,
the affair was a success in every way
possible. The boys Of the club appeared
In shirt waists and duck trousers maxi
ing very neat appearance while most
of the ladies wore white gowns. The
full Boston & Montana band furnished
the music and the dancers held full
sway until $50 o'clock.
The wedding last night was of that
kind which wildly illustrates the in
tenseness with which bride and groom
may enter into the matrimonial VEN
ture and how strongly the one who Of
ficiates may impress upon their minds
the impressive vows they take upon
themselves and the narrowness of the
path which, in order to live up to these
VOWS. they must follow.
The principals in last nights marri-
age festivities were G. M. Brown of the
German village and Miss Minnie Wilton
of Butte. Manager Shea gave the bride
away and explainde to the crowd the
peculiar features of the wedding. Had
il Cheriff made things lively for some
time with his bowling and unintelligible
lingo but everyone seemed to enjoy the
performance. The Midway was packed
with spectators and the bride blushed
times innumerable as membes of the
crowd pocosely remarked something
about the Mohammedan CUSTOM the APP
pearance of Hadji and the poor fellow
the groom. Fatima and Mahonda Had
il followed by the other women of the
Midway waited upon the bride. The
groom was escorted to the stand on the
Midway to be used by the alter by the
noisy band of Arabian sWordsmen
twirling in a dangerous manner their
keen steel blades. The bride and
groom were arrayed in Syrian costume.
Old Hadji took hold of the wedding
ceremony and made some more noise
in which the entire Oriental group
standing about assisted. Several street

patronage has increased daily from the
opening. We have brought thousands of
people to Butte on excursion rates, who
would not have come otherwise We
have brought the business men together
in an enterprise in which all could take
Fart. We have given a new and taking
attraction for the home people. Our pat
rons express themselves as highly pleas
ed, and the merchants who had exhibits
are we'll satisfied, according to their own
testimony. While We have not made IS
much for the club as we might have
wished. yet I feel that the fair and car
nival has been an unqualified success"
I'VE have every reason to congratulate
ourselves that this, our first effort, has
proved so successful, socially and finan
cially," said Harry Holp, secretary. "The
assistance of the ladies has been Of the
greatest value. Our preliminary esti-
mate of expenses was too low, our bill fer
laLor being about double what was cal
culated on. which will cut In on our pro-
fits. but another year we should do much
better. We have spent in the neighbor
hood of $4,000 for labor mostly, good
thing for the working men. We are well
pleased that we took hold of the enter
prise. though it has been of greater mag
nitude than we at frs = xpected."
Last nights chief event at the street
fair was the Mohammedan marriage
scheduled for the evening. The attend
ing throng not disappointed in the car
rying out of the program or in seeing
something novel and out of the Ordin
airy. The unmasking of Frank Riley as
king of the carnival, who had been
secretly elected by the Overland club,
would under ordinary circumstances be
the drawing feature of such an affair,
but the solemnixing of the wedding un
der the direction of Hadji Cheriff. the
MOhammedan priest took all the interest
out of the crowd for the king and en-
throning spectacles. The visitors to the
fair last night considered the establish
ment of a household under the Moham-
medan faith of far greater Importance
than the esta blishment of q king Of the
carnival OF Butte.
Frank Riley had been selected by the
Overland club as the young man on
whom the honors of this occasion were
to be bestowed. Mr.. Riley gracefully
received the compliment and conducted
himself as one used to such honorA.

n MID A blaze of glory with the
A sweildom of Butte out in full
force to add tone to the closing
scene the Butte Street Fair and
Carnival which has successfully been
managed under the direction of the Over
land Club will come to a close tonight.
The gates are to be locked for the last
time this evening and tomorrow and
Monday the merchants Of the city will
remove their goods from the various
booths. The fair attaches and travel
ing troupes will pack their bag and bag
bage and board the train for Vancouver,
b. G.. where another fair Is to be held.
The streets will again be thrown open to
the public and fond memory will serve
to wildly retain thoughts of the ten
days and night of frolic fun and pleasure.
Tonight is to be a gala night. Every
one will be in attendance at the fair who
can possibly arrange to do so. All viii.
go for pleasure and anyone who does not
have a desire for amusement and good
nG-ured fun had becter remain away.
Those who do attend tonight are expect
ed to appear in masks. The programme
calls for masks and if you fail to wear
one you will be one of very few who
dare show YOU'RE face to the pleasure
seeking and fun making crowdd. The
masks are to be worn until late in the
evening when they will be removed and
all may then see how closely they have
guessed the identity of their friends.
Tie returning ball the rooster crow. the
nas :onal colors cane and above all the
ref cshment hAwker will do land Office
business on the fair grounds between the
hours of O'Clock and an unknown hour

jures no one.
The crowds expected tonight will be
given the widest possible range by the
management. The grounds are to be
theirs and nothing will be too good for
the people of Butte who have so gener-
Ously patrOnzed the successful venture.
Miss Steward. the Queen of the Fair is
to be in attendance in her gorgeous cos
tune and the king, the choice of the
Overland Club will accompany her high
ness.
The parade previously arranged for has
been cancelled by he management owing
to the fact that it necessarily occupies SO
much time from its start until the march
is made. The time thus consumed can,
1t is thought by these in charge, be more
advantagously spent.
Each show on the Midway will try to
Guido the ether this evening in presenting
a be5ter performance than on other even
ings. The usual lukewarmness with
which the attendants of passing shows
are accustomed to treat the patrons of a
last performance will not be in evidence
tonight. Every possible detail is to be
given attention by the fair people Tor to-
nights patrons and the show will not be
completed until the last struggling Wis.,
itor has left the grounds at the close
of the nights business.
Upwards Of 10000 people have attended
the fair during the twelve days session.
It Is given as a conservative estimate by
the officers of the Overland Club that not
ldess than 1000 of these were from out
side of Butte, most of them coming es-
pecially for the fair. About sixty per cent
went through all the attractions. on one
or two days the number rising as high
as seventy five per cent.
A total of liz booths were erected on
Wyoming and Granite streets. about 100
Of them icing rented. the others being
reserved for the fair management. Near
" all Of the exhibits were typical OF the
businesses represented. and most of the
leading business firms Of the city were to
be found on the grounds.
THE club Is thoroughly we'll pleased
with the support and patronage given
the fair by the people" said Fred Slem-
ons, president of the Overland Club. land

VAST TRACTS
FOR FARMERS

ST PAUL, March H. President
Charles $. Melleu of the Northern Pa
cific left St Paul last night for New
YorF on one of the most important
missions in recent years. said to in
vJlve the sale of all the land owned
by the Northern Pacific west of the
Missouri river. The purchase price is
given at $4,000 900, and it is understood
that this sum will be used to retire
pr eferred stock.
The purchasers of this land are said
to be Eastern capitalists, who have per-
fected syndicate and who will under
take to encourage settlement and cul-
tivaton of the land by Eastern farm
ers, such as are now heading Westward
in the homeseekers' movement each
week.
President Melen has always been
disposed to sell this land, as several
millions of acres have already been dis
posed Of but could not find a purchas-
er with sufficient capital to take the
whole amount
The retirement of the Northern Pa
Cific preferred stock, much of which is
in the hands of the stockholders of the

HAS THE SHAH
BEEN CONVERTED?

LONDON, March 16.-The reiteration
of the report that the Shah of Persia
had become a Christian during his
European tour last year was the cause
of an insurrection at Teheran recently,
which. but for the prompt action of the
military authorities, would probably
have resulted disastrously. According
to a dispatch from Constautinople a
mob of fanatical Moslems worked them
selves into a frenzy. stormed the ar
senal at Teheran, armed themselves
with such weapons as were available
and, sweeping everything before them,
attacked the Shahs palace with the
avowed purpose of massacreing the in
mates. The troops were modified to
receive them, and after a desperate
fight the fanatics were routed, leaving
seventy-five dead and many more
wounded upon the scene of the conflict.
But for the death of their leader, who
was strangled by the military com
mander, the fanatics would probably
have continued the battle until many
more lives had been sacrificed.

RAID OF BURGLARS.
They Imprlson a Clerk and Loot the
Safe.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, March 10
Burglars entered the Metropolitan car
barn at Elmwood and st. John ave-
nues in this city early this morning,
overpowered Erwin Lockwood, the
night clerk, and locked him in the
cloakroom. The safe was blown open
with dynamite and $131 taken.
Lockwood was alone in the office
when he heard a knock at the front
door. When he asked what was want
ed one of the men covered him with a
revolver and commanded him to throw
up his hands and keep still. The In
truders forced Lockwood to go through
the conductors room into a small
cloakroom. They locked the door and
one of the men stood guard for a time.
The blowing up of the safe caused a
terrific explosion, and scattered the
money and other contents of the safe
all over the floor.
The robbers hastily gathered up all
the money they could but in their
haste they left 800 on the floor. AS a
result of the explosion mucn of the
interior of the office was wrecked, and
some combustible material took fire.
Lockwood extingulshed the flames with
some difficulty.

CUBA MAY
TAKE Up ARMS

/ JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March H.
News reaches here from good authority
that a rebellion against the United
states is being planned in Cuba. This
information comes from a member of
Mayor Bowden's family, who is n resi-
dent of Cuba, and he asserts of his own
knowledge that the extreme element is
greatly in the majority and they are
today secretly preparing for war ana
are making heavy purchases of arms
and ammunition
The statement creates considerable
excitement among the large Cuba coll
ony here.
/ HAVANA, March 1.-THE week opens
with a strong disposition on the part of
a large majority of the members of the
constitutional convention Immediately
to vote for the rejection of the Plat
amendment. A question has arisen,
however, with regard to the terms of
the amendment. The delegates are not
certain whether 1t is final and in the
nature of an ultmatum or is open to
modification by the President. Con-
flcting statements have been made by
the Military Governor regarding It's
finality. Some members of the conven-
ton are disposed to submit proposals
substantially modifying the terms of
the amendment If it is not absolute and
final
The general sentiment of the COM
mittee on relations is that the conVen-
ton should proceed with calm deliber-
alton respecting the rights and inter-
ests of the United States while preserv-
ing both the form and the substance
of Cuban independence.
The idea is growing that the amend
ment is a violation of the joint resolu-
ton of Congress declaring for Cuban
independence, as an unwarranted die
Itation of conditions to a free and in
dependent people and an exercise of
sovereignty. control and jurisdiction
over them. There is a suggestion that
this question be submitted to the Unit
ed States Supreme Court for determine
alton.
I The principal question at the present
time, however Is to be with regard to
the Plat amendment and the advisable
ity Of submitting it to President Nc
Kinley, because of lack of confidence in
General Wood The complaint is made
that the opinion on relations submit
ted to the Governor has not been ac-
knoWledged
