ZION,

The annual harvest festival of the
terday in Lemp's Park, commencing at II
o'clock in the morning and continuing to
a late hour last night.
1t is a custom centuries old and loyal
Suabians. no matter in what part of the
world they happen to be. always observe
1t. The choicest fruits. grains and cereals
are brought together and some sort of a
pyramid or column erected. In Germany
religious ceremonies are included and pray
ers are offered to the Almighty.
The feature of the celebration at Lemp's
Parry yesterday was an enormous column 50
feet high constructed of almost every agri-
cultural product known. which wassplaced
just in front of the main pavilion. 1t is
the work Of Charles Bair and the grains
and vegetables used were all from III
farms of SuabianS in or around St. Louis.
In the reproduction Of the national shield
red peppers, onions and damsons were used
for the red, white and blue. At the base
or the column pictures of four Suabian
poets were hung.
The programme of exercises opened at
. O'Clock with a parade through the
grounds of rs members OF the society, all
in national costume, led by two bands. The
procession drew up at the base of the col
umn, where William Seeger, the president
OF the society. delivered the address of well
come. after which Congressman Richard
Bartholdt was introduced.
ME- Bartholdts speech was in German
and told of the history OF the founding of
a harvest festival. of its significance and
In the arena at ; o'clock the grand har-
vest festival was held, with eighty people
in the cast. all in costume. The harvest
queen, who will reign for one year, was
crowned and thirty girls presented a drill.
There Is a legend that seven men of
Suabia once went out in the forest and
saw a hare, which for some reason ap-
peared to be twenty times It's natural size.
They were greatly frightened, but after
a chase succeeded in killing the animal
with their spears. This is always the Jest
of the harvest festival, and was presented
yesterday, and seven men after a ludicrous
chase all over the arena succeeded in kill
Ing a very much frightened rabbit.
At night "The Witches Dance was held
on an improyised mountain. Ghosts and
COLLINS seemed to ride on broomsticks
through the air and the illusion was COM
plete. The festivities closed with fireworks.
This afternoon and tonight the programme
will be repeated
Carl Sommer was master of ceremonies,
William Seeger is president of the society,
which has about 400 members; William G.
Schmidt Is its secretary.

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. A-The Coler boom

Judge Parker is opposed to holding cleo

n would put him on the high road to

tics, during tine past two weeks, has been
demonstrated to be on a par with that Of
David Bennett Hill. desires to see Justice
Parker nominated by the Democrats in the
convention to be held here September 80.
It is Senator McCarren's opinion that
Justice Parker should not longer refuse to
perform whate is manifestly, in his judg-
ment, an imperative duty. He thinks that
neither Justice Psrker's well-known OBJ
j~ections TO any political candidacy nor his
equally conspicuous attachment to a

Washington, Aug. 2.-The Consul at
Juarez reports to the State Department
that stock raising in Mexico is very profit
able and that many Americans are engag-

The best locality for stock raising the
Consul says. is the northwestern portion
of the State of Chihuahua, near the main
range of the Sierra Madre Mountains. The
Government price for waste lands is a.
cents per hectare. or two acres.
Persons can buy on time by mortgaging
the land to the Government Liberal con-
cessions are given to colonists coming to
locate with their families. Land owned by
private individuals can be bought for cash
at favorable prices. Grazing land runs
from so cents to $50 per acre.
There is little competition in farming.
The railway charges for the transporta-
ton of a car of cattle from Casas Grandes,
Mexico. to E. Paso. Tex. are 80. Year
ling steers bring about 80 gold per head
at FL Paso. Cattle raising should pay not
less than Is per cent and some ranches pay
