WORLDS FAIR WILD WEST.
One Hundred Thousand Dollars to b,
Expended on the Ameri-
can Indian Exhibit.
WILL Be SOME SPECTACULAR FEATURES
Representatives of All the India.
Tribes Who Had Their Home n
the Louisiana Purchase VIII be
Rounded up-Tbe Last Grand Col
lection of Real Blanket Indian.

Washington. April list Louis
will have Wild West show in connec
tion with the government Indian ex
hibit at the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition. Capt. Tonner. acting commits
sioner of Indian affairs. has received
a letter from ST. Louis stating thai
the exposition officials had agreed to
make an appropriation of 100000 tc
supplement- the appropriation OF $40,
600 made by the government for an
Indian exhibit. This will make 500.
600 available for this feature of the
exposition, and will enable the secre
tary of the interior TO provide some
spectacular features In connection
with the Indian exhibit.
1t was decided some time ago by
Mr.. Jones, commissioner OF Indian af.
fairs, after a consultation with See.
retary Hitchcock, that the exhibit
would be confined TO a showing of the
progress made in the Indian schools.
unless the exposition authorities made
an additional appropriation for the
spectacular features. Mr.. S. NJ. Me.
Gowan, representing the interior de.
partment, who is now In st. Louis
has informed the department of the
action of the exposition officials.
Plans for the exhibit will be under.
taken as soon as the agreement be-
tween the department and the expo
sition officials has been formally en-.
tered into. Officials of the Indian
bureau will undertake to collect rep
resentatives of all Indian tribes that
had their home in the Louisiana Pur
chase. This will include all of the
well-kno.n tribes, the Arapahoes,
Apaches, Cheyennes. Crows. utcs,
Pueblos, Flatheads and Sioux. The
members of the five civilized tribes.
in the Indian territory, were removed
from the east and south after the
Louisiana purchase, but they will
probably be represented in the ex-
hibit.
There will probably be an arrange
ment of games, feats OF skill and
dances peculiar TO the different tribes
although il can not be yet determined
just how far the department will be
willing to go in preparing for this
form Of entertainment. The policy
of the Indian bureau is pronounced
against encouragement of this class
of exhibitions, as experience has
shown that they have demoralizing
effect upon the Indians.
Officials of the bureau feel, however,
that this will be the last opportunity
for collection of the real blanket
Indians, whose numbers are growing
rapidly less each year. They are will
ing to encourage this feature of the
exposition. believing that ii will be
the last opportunity that win be af-
forded TO any considerable number
OF people to see the Indian as be ex-
listed half century ago, when the
Louisiana purchase was young.
Details of the exhibit will be de-
cided upon soon after Indian Com
missioner Jones returns from his
western trip in May.

Vicksburg, last week. were treated
to highly sensational and rather
exciting episode, in the matter of
an energetic application of cow
hide over the shoulders of a recre-
ant son-in-law by the irate father
in-law. The parties were Peter
Harwood, police officer, and W. NJ.
Wilkinson, the latter having quite
recently married the 16-year-old
daughter of Harwood. Owing to al
legged i'll treatment the girl left her
husband at Natchez and returned to
her parents in Vicksburg, telling
such talo of woeand mistreatment
as to aropse the parental concern
and ire. .During the difficulty re-
volvers were drawn on both sides,
but the police were near at hand
and the men were disarmed and
placed under arerst.
