The equine outlaws with the Pawnee

constitutes one of the most exciting
features Of the diversified institution,
which will pitch its tent here on July
9Th. There are q score of these So
called .'bucking" bronehos, horses
born with spirit Of evil combat and
unrelenting resistance to human ef-
forts at subjugation. The daily strug-
giles Of the cowboys to temporarily
subdue the brutes provide moments
which will stir the blood and fire the
heart Of every beholder.
Pawnee Bill has secured the ranches
Of the west to secure a drove Of four
footed beasts whose hostility to the
man Is inbred and irremediable. They
are Fuckers" by nature, whose hatred
for bride and saddle increases with
age and association. Unhampered,
they are docile. With the appearance
of strap or rope, they become demons
incarnate, a menace to the life and
limb Of the human being who approaches
and indiffe in the savage passion
which dominates them, to their own
fate.

Letter From Mrs. Hide.

Oakes, June 25.-I wish to announce
to the public that am back to Oakes
and that was very much surprised on
getting back to hear that the talk was
that I went to meet some man.
It was something / don't think would
be very apt to do, as he has been trying
TO drag me down as low as possible
with his tongue the last few weeks
or months / don't know which. ]
never heard of it till this spring. I
have found out that he started this
dirty mean talk himself in order to
get me away from my husband and
my home. I heard SO much unreason-
able talk it seemed like I could not
stand it any longer, SO I finally made
up my mind to get away from here for
q while and there probably would not
be any more said but it seemed to make
matters worse. If that person had
tried to follow me am afraid he would
not have been alive today for was
we'll armed and am yet so any day he
| should want to interfere he will be
sorry. Ihave heard since I got back
that he went away about the time I
did, whether any knows or just guessed
at it am sure I don't know. Ialways
have all I can do to attend to my own
affairs and if every one would do the
same, there would be far less trouble
in this world. He started the talk in
the 6rst place but everyone that tells
it adds more to it and makes it as bad
as possible. know because hear the
same story different every time where
it is unreasonable in the first place
think it would be far better not to
make it any worse. If any one ever
did or does see me do anything out OF
the way, l wish they would come to
| me, tell me where was wrong instead
1.of going by what they hear and trying
all the time to make it worse. must
say never suffered so much in all my
life as / have the last couple of months
since this talk started, and want to say
that don't want to hear any more un
less there is some ground for it, and i:
this person is ever caught he is gong
to suffer to the full extent of the Law
for slander. If ever leave my hom,
and family for good it will be when
am taken to my grave, where shoult
hope l would be far better ther'
than am in this troublesome world
l think shall be careful not to mingl,
with troublesome neighbors any more
have learned that much anyway ant
may God help me to protect my home
and family from such. can say
can defend myself in every inch o.
this deal. Mrs. r. A. Hide.

and Tom Benson arrived home from
Oakes, the advance guard of the re-
turning firemen who attended the con-
veation and tournament there which
closed yesterday. The remainder Of
the delegation have been stringing in
all day and they report delightful
time. The Oakes people gave them
royal entertainment and did not slut
ter at little fun. One Of the jokes
the boys played which is an example of
the time the firemen have, was on a
girl and her fellow who were enjoying
the blissful, balmy air, in a large seat
swing in the yard. The boys descended
upon them and captured them, girl,
fellow, swing and all and toated it three
blocks and back down the main street
Of the city.

st. Paul, March 80. = The plan Of
holding semi-centennial celebration
of the admission of Minnesota into
the Union has been abandoned. The
vote by which the semi-centennial
project was defeated in the senate will
be taken as sufficient notification that
the senate at least is opposed to the
project, although the bill was defeated
by only one vote.
This course has been decided upon
by the men who have been urging the
exposition project, but in abandoning
the fight for a semi-centennial celebra
ton the board of managers and
friends of the state fair will take some
of the legislators who have opposed
the exposition project at their word,
and a bill will be prepared by the
terms of which 100000 for needed
improvements at the fair grounds will
be provided.

board was asked to outline a plan and
make suggestions as to the necessary
improvement of the grounds for the
holding of such an exposition, and the
result was the bill which was intro

the senate rejected by one vote. The
