Ponca City. Okla, Sept. 15.--Several
thousand Indians from Oklahoma and
the adjoining states, among them
Sioux, Winebagoes, OmaIas and sew
eral other tribes, are assembled here
to take part in the great celebration
which the Ponca Indians have arrang-
ed in honor of the thirteenth ami
sary of the opening of the strip to
settlement. The celebration has also
attracted large crowds of white men
from all parts of the west. The cele-
bration will last two days and the
entertainment programme arranged by
the Ponca Indians includes dances.
smokes. buffalo feasts and other typ
ical Indian arnusements. In return the
visiting tribes will give costly pres
ents. including blankets and ponies and
the Poncas will likewise lavish gifts
upon the visitors. The head chief of
the Poncas has arranged with the
Miller Bros OF ''10I' ranch to furnish
all the cattle and buffalo needed for
the feast. The Poncas have made
preparations to entertain 1000 visitors
and there lis every reason to believe
that quite as many Indians of other
tribes will take part in the ceIebra-
ton.

NORTHERN LEAGUE FUTURE.
Meeting to BE Held Sunday in Duluth
to Determine Plans.

The business affairs of the Northern
Copper Country league will be wound
UP at a meeting of the league mag
mates to be held in Duluth next Sun
day. 1t viii then, for the first time,
be known whether or not the new or
ganization has proved financial sue
cess. Plans for the coming year will
also be discussed and other matters
pertaining to the promotion of baseball
in the northwest and the copper coun-
try will be discussed.
Until this year the Northern and
Copper Country leagues were separate
Early last spring the question of affil-
iating with the northern organization
was brought before the attention of
the copper country magnates and four
towns were finally entered, making an
eight-club circuit. With the excep-
.tion of Hancock which was dropped sew
eral weeks before the close of the sea-
son at the same time as was Grand
Forks, the copper country teams gave
very creditable showings of them
selves Calumet and Houghton ending
the season in top position.
Taken from the standpoint of base
ball the new league has been a sue
cess. The article of ball played at
times rivalled that of the major league
teams. Never in the history of base
ball was there such race for the PEN
nant as that which materialized be-
tween Calumet and Houghton, the SUI
premacy not being determined until
the final day of the season. This article
of ball created new interest in the
sport and the future looks bright.
The fans around the circuit want an
eight league and it's up to the
officials to round up some more towns

they have not felt safe any of the
time, being obliged to keep their
house locked and barred and unable TO

Suicide Found in Box Car.

was found dead in an Illinois Central
box car at Dubuque Tuesday morning.
From all appearances the man had been
dead about seven hours. Nothing
could be discovered on thu body that
would lead to it's identity, but a
broken vial that had contained car
bolic acid supplied theory as to the
cause of the mans death and the label
on the bottle furnished clew to his
identity. On the label was printed
G. w. Roberts 81 Son, Albany.
Wis. The firm was communicated
with by telephone and stated that
Smout had purchased the carbolic
acid there on Monday Smout was
wealthy and lived with one of his
sons in Albany. The death of son
recently is supposed to have grieved
the old gentleman to the extent that
his mind became unbalanced.
