T he trip to Yankton from Cairo was
uneventful. Upon arriving at Yank-
ton we went into camp on a low plain
about two miles from the city. The
officers wives, who accompanied their
husbands, went, all but two, to the
best hotel in the town. The excep-
tons were Mrs. Custer and Mrs. Cal
houn General Clusters sister,. They
occupied "a vacant house about midway
between town and camp.
Most of the officers and men wore
the thin clothing which they had used
in the South, and no one anticipated
the great change in the climate that
came upon us. A few days after our
arrival, a typical Dakota blizzard set
in. 1t began showing on a Saturday
morning and did not let up until the
following Thursday. The strong wind
piled the snow into huge drifts and
filled every hollow. Sunday morning
the scene was extremely desolate.

1.-THE governor of the Territory, General
McCook, and General Forsyth, one of
General Sheridan's aids, y reached
camp and told us to get over to town
with our horses as soon as possible,

take possession of several large build

Territorial Fair.

Preparations are being com menced for the Second Annual Ter ritorial Fair, and the dates selected are November 18th, to l7th, 1906.
 The organization was begun at a recent meeting of the commission CTS, who are J. c. Adams, Phoenix, B. A. Packard, Naco, and T. E. Pollock, Flagstaff.
 Vernon L. Clark will again have charge of the office work and will direct the details of arrangements for the coming fair.
 The line of organization will be similar to that of last year. The Board of Supervisors of the several counties of the Territory have been requested to appoint commissioners to represent their respective coun- ties so that there will be some one in each county to look after the in- terest of the Fair.
 Superintendents of Departments have been appointed as follows:
 Mineral, Epes Randolph, Tucson.
 Horse and Mule, w. w. Cook, Phoenix.
 Cattle, A. c. Mcqueen, Mesa.
 Swine. C. M. Baum, Phoenix.
 Sheep and Goat, c. c. Hutchin- son, Seligman.
 Poultry and Pigeon, c. B. Wood, Phoenix.
 Apiary, Wm. Rohrig, Tempe.
 Educational, A. J. Mathews, Tempe.
 Agricultural, V. A. Clark, Phoe- nix.
 Speed, Shirley Christy, Phoenix.
 There are several appointments yet to be made and these will be considered at the next meeting of the Commission.
 The premium lists are being pre- pared by t he several superinten- dents, and when completed will be sent to the several county commits sioners for distribution, and by mail to all applicants.
 It is hoped that every person who can, will enter something for ex- hibition so that every resource of the Territory will be creditably re- presented.
 It is anticipated that the races this year will be the best ever held in the west, Efforts are now be- ing made to arrange for offering $l5, 900 in stakes, and if successful, |, this should attract many of the best racing stables in the United States.

GEAR MADE A COCKTAIL.
New York Doctor Taught Him the

Russian heir apparent and the Amer

The doctor was few years ago
practicing in city in western New
York. He was once an attache of the
Russian court and had some appoint

One evening when he had been
called to see the Czarevitch the talk
ran to American drinks. The new
doctor carried his own stock of Amer
lean liquors. He spoke of the Amer
lean cocktail which, at that time, was
the most called for mixed drink at the
bar.

name. He thought it was joke. The
Yankee doctor assured him it was not

to try the drink. The doctor brought
in his ingredients and prepared cock

had tasted it he went into ecstacies

After he had sampled several cock
tails he proposed to make the mixture

ease than he has learned some other
things since.
when the American doctor was
leaving st. Petersburg the Czarevitch
had assembled the throne. The physi-

and was accorded an audience.

was an expert in miving the American

to a private room where the Car of

probably the only American who ever
had the ruler of Russia mix and give
him a cocktail."-New York Sun.

that "a Window in Thrums" was writ

Mr.. Williams adds pertinently: can
I impulse from behind explains the

rather good ones; still oftener it

that most of his life on the circuit
was spent in retailing dubious stories
to gaping circles" Nothing can be
more absurd than to picture Lincoln
as a combination of buffoon and drum
mer," one Of his surviving contem-
poraries is quoted by Mr.. Hill as say
ing while discussing this subject with
him. He was frequently the life Of
our little company, keeping us good
natured, making us see the funny side
of things, and generally entertaining
us; but to create the impression that
the circuit was a circus of which Lin
coin was the clown is ridiculous He
was lawyer engaged in serious and
dignifed work, and man who felt his
responsibility keenly."
And Mr.. James Ewing, member
of the Illinois bar, whose father kept
the old National hotel in Bloomington
where all the lawyers used to stop
while on the circuit, and at whose
house Lincoln boarded after the hotel
was closed, Mr.. Hill also quotes as
