lincoln Post FIambeau Club to Give
Display in Denver.

The press agent of the Lincoln Post
Flambeau club has furnished the State
Journal with the following pyrotechni-
cal announcement of the clubs COM
ing trip to Denver:
The famous Lincoln Post Flambeau
club, of Topeka, that made a. national
reputation at Denver % years ago, in
astonishing the thousands there as
sembled with their pyrotechnic dis
play, have been engaged by the ex-
eeutive committee of arrangements for
the national G.. A. r. encampment to
go to Denver and repeat the display.
Although it is % years since they
made their last display in Denver, and
many of their members have passed
to the sacred biVouac of the heroic
dead, yet their ranks have been re-
cruited from other members, so that
the organization is IN perfect fOrma-
ton, with nearly one hundred MEM
bers, who are more capable of doing
efficient work as f1ambeau pyrotechnie
displayers than they were twenty years
ago, when they made the very earth
and heavens as lurid as though it was
a crater, and that the earth had
evolved into an internal region, or
had become a hades with the lid off.
There is not, and never has been on
earth the like of the display made by
Lincoln Post Flambeau club, and the
executive committee of Denver, have
shown their Jealous desire to furnish
the greatest possible attraction to the

additional fifty are for reserves and

hibition in Denver, headed by massed
bands of over eight hundred musicians,

play. There has never been anything
like it since the dawn of time when
the scenes of the horrors of the in
fernal regions were wrapped in an en-
easement that gave US the blessing af
Heaven Vouchsafed to us on earth 1t

of the internal regions as is possible

WHAT KANEKO IS DOING.
The Baron Makes Public the object of
His Mission.

New York, Aug. 31.-Baron Kanelxo,
ex-minister of agriculture of Japan,
concerning whose mission to the
United states there has been much
conjecture, has given out an interview,
In which he declares that his business
in America is purely of an economic
nature. He denied absolutely that he
had anything to do with the peace
negotiations at Portsmouth. In his
self appointed task, he declares, he ac-
complished much and sees as an ulti-
mate result the economic salvation of
his country as well as an enormous
amount of good to America. Through
out my life and particularly during
my term in the cabinet of Marquis
Ito, have taken deep interest in
economic questions" said the baron,
charge of the japanese exhibits at
numerous expositions, including that
at St Louis. In the year and a quar-
ter that have been in this country
nave been studying constantly. My
sOJouFn in Europe proved to me that
the European markets were filed with
their own products, and I saw here
that if the front door of the American
market was closed, the back door was
open to Asia. In the course of my in
designations I have talked with all
kinds of people and have learned a
great deal about what l believe to be
the glorious future that lies before the
United States in the far east. America
In her our hope is bound up, and
since our country was opened up by
America in 1854. we have ever main
tanned cordial relations and been the
sincerest friends. To me the United
States has always seemed a second
home, and if bring about the economic
alliance that I am now free to talk
about, 1 shall feel, on account of the
good that will accrue to this country
from such an alliance, that l have paid
a part of my debt of gratitude.
Probably within a few weeks l shall
go back home and tell my people the
results of my study. l shall tell them
that the United States is a country
without thought of territorial ag-
grandizement; that the American peo-
pie will defend their own because they
love individual right and individual lib
erty. 1 shall tell my people that the
way to open Asia securely and peace
ably, is through the introduction of
American civilization. And 1 shall do
more if 1 am allowed to do it. I am
ready to serve as a loyal subject of
Japan and as a sincere friend of Amer
lea in bringing about an economical al
liance-not a treaty signed on parch-
ment, but imprinted in the hearts and
minds of the people of Japan and of
the United States. That is my am
| bition. To achieve this L came here
on my self-appointed mission and I
trust that my efforts will be crowned
with success

HILL TALKS TO FARMERS.
Railroad President Advises Them t.
Do Better Work.

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. al
James ]. Hill attended the meeting of
the Old Settlers association of North
Dakota at the state fair, and made an
address, saying:
"a good farm of 100 or 800 acres
is comfortable, happy home. A
man can be a prince on his own farm.
You rob your children of their her
itage when you sell the farm. Keep
the boys on the farm. Learn to do
better and more extensive farming.
The state of North Dakota could not
raise grain enough to bake ten bis
cults per capita for the inhabitants of
China. Now ten biscuits would be
short for years supply, and 1 don't
know that you could raise enough
grain-you certainly don't raise
enough grain, to make two biscuits
per capita. That is a market that
seems to me to be unlimited. I want
to see better farming, because if in the
annual return per acre of cultivated
land that they get in Iowa the state
of Minnesota would have $4,000, 900
year more money, and that is too
much to waste.
''Now suppose that you did culti-
vate all this land and doubled the
yield, what would you do with it?
You must find new markets. Can you
find them in South America, where we
are spending hundreds of millions of
dollars to build a canal to bring that
trade to us?
'This morning we learn that Rus
STA and Japan have made peace. I
am glad they have agreed, but want
to say this, the agricultural people of
the United States find in Russia their
greatest competitor. Russia raises
what we raise; they export what we
export. In the trans-Caspian country
they are opening up through irriga-
ton great areas of country where they

A Modern Fable.

One day as the Peasant was counting
his geese and felicitating himself on
their plumpness and numbers, the old
est Gander of the flock surprised him
by suddenly saying:
"Oh, Peasant, but 1 am tired of this
sort of misunderstanding a goose-and I
want a change. I should dearly love
to be an Eagle. All the Eagle has to
do is to fly around and look proud and
dignified and be the emblem of Free
dom. It's just such job as I have
long hankered after"
II can't make an Eagle of you" re-
piled the Peasant. after due reflection,
but 1 can disguise you so that per-
haps you can pass for one. How will
that do?'
The Gander was delighted at the idea.
and the Peasant, clipped his tail and
wings and pulled out most of the quilts.
and with the aid of some Eagle feathers
and dye he quite disguised the ambi-
tious fowl.
That's all hunky-doryl' exclaimed
the Gander as he surveyed himself in
the Eagle act, and I have no fear of
any one getting onto my shape. Gee.
This is just bosSi"
The first Spring Chicken he met ran
away in alright. but all the fowls soon
saw through the disguise and heaped
insults upon his head: and at length it
was made so hot for the disguised Can
der that he wandered away by himself
to chew the rag of vexatien. He was
doing very well at it when he was
espied by Fox, who looked him over,
and then asked:
well, what do you call this? If you
were soaring aloft 1 should call you an
Eagle, but if you were padding about
in a pond 1 should take you for a Gan
der What is it. anyhow
Sir" replied the Gander. who feared
to acknowledge his species. and yet
knew the Fox wouldn't believe him to
be an Eagle did you ever hear of a
bird called the Dodo?"
