BEAUTIES AND
THE BEASTS

The Enakops last night didn't
do thing but raise more Cain and
hell-racket than ever before was
heard in this or any other vicinity.
The band of Indians who are at
the fair were green with envy at
the gaudy uniforms, the grotesque
conveyances and the accomplish
ments of the Enakops in the vocal
lines. The Siwashes were scared
some, too, for the Jonah whales,
dragons and other contorted beings
which crawled around the race
track were capable Of putting fear
in the breasts of not only he
aborigines but some of the people
from the country who were not ex-
pecting 1t. These ferocious animals,
the fireworks, the horns, bazoos,
war whoops and cat-calls all COM
bined to make as weird scene and
as fearful a presentation as was
ever heard Of.
Quite evidently the fertile brains
of the Enakopers were not in nor
NAL state when evolving such
monsters. Generally those who
tell about such things or even ever
imagine or picture them have the
"jimmies." A drinking" man is
not advised to witness the Enakop
parade; it is bad for the magma
ton and Medical Lake isn't far off.
Thousands of people witnessed
the parade. Queen Hettie Steven
son, surrounded by her body
guard" of beautiful young women,
carried out her part to perfection.
Buglers, courtiers, horsemen,
spearsmen and ak men guarded
her on the trip around the track,
which was supposed to depict the
march of the wanderers out of
wilderness, under the seas, through
China and into Spokane.
The Enakops will do it again to-
night.

PROMISED TO sTR!l(E:
AND GOT MARRIED

Even Cupid is on the side of the
striking telegraph operators. The
fact was demonstrated yesterday
when the little god captured and
carried off bodily Miss MaybelIe
Young, Western Union manager at
Colfax.
The Spokane union, of which
Miss Young is member, has been
trying for some time to induce her
to join the strike, and suddenly
she promised that she would. Evil
IDENTIFY she had made another
promise about the same time, for
yesterday she shut up the Office at
Colfax and left the information
that she had gone to Kahlotus to
marry William WATSON, an 0. r.
& N. operator.
They had become acquainted
over the wire A strike at Colfax
was the result. WATSON couldn't
come to her, so she went to Was
son. They have framed up a union
agreement with an arbitration
clause and fair division of profits.
WATSON will be the Kahlotus agent
and his wife the operator.

CARRIES HORSE SWAP
INTO COURT

To be beaten twice in a horse
swap was too much for William
1mmel and this morning he
brought suit in the superior court
against William Livingston for the
return of his own horse and $50
boot money. He says that on Sept.
II he traded $125 horse named
Charlie and $50 for an animal
that was wind broken. When he
discovered the fracture he told
Livingston, who expressed much
surprise, but recommended that
the wind broken horse and another
$50 be traded for a horse his friend
had. This morse, it was found, was
balky and worthless.

COUNTESS OF ROSLYN

LONDON, Sept. 24.-Members OF
the English peerage are real angry
because the countess of Roslyn
taking her title in her hand, will
go on the stage this winter.
The countess recently obtained a
divorce from the earl. The Scot
fish decree allows her to retain her
title and the peers and peeresses
think 1t will hurt their dignity to
have that title dragged to the edge
of the fOotlights.
The countess, who was in Amer
lean actress named Annie Robin
son before her marriage, has been
engaged to play the leading part in
new comedy entitled, The Edu-
cation of Elizabeth" She is now
said to be selecting her gowns,
which will be the most elaborate
even seen on a London stage.
