One night spent in the city would

BUFFALO BILLS WILD WEST
VIII BE in CIarksburg For Two Big
Performances Next

Six years have passed since the
native American exhibition known as
Buffalo Bits Wild West" has APP
peared in this city. In the mean
time its great success abroad has
been exploited. and it's cordial greet
ings in seventeen countries of diff
ferent languages. tndorses the esti-

held at home. Col. Cody, still leads
in the saddle the little army of
horsemen of all races and nations
identified with his rough riders of
the world.
This exhibition, or we might say
pantomimic drama, is famed for it's
historical accuracy, and simplicity.
The dramatist relies on scenery.

cess for hisissdrama 1.-THE song writ
er touches he heaB by thrilling the
cords of human emotion with the
magic and pathos of his written
words, welded to tuneful notes.
Every description eof Spectacular en-
tertainment is based and depends
naturally for It's attraction, upon an
Illusion or an exaggeration of
ideas, combined with wondrous dis
plays of colors and pomp. The
drama. song and spectacle present
their several methods in amusing
and instrhcting people, but the Wild
West does Eaorei Realism and ac-
curacy are it's cardinal points. The
Indians, half naked, and daubed
with the ochre dug from his tribal
war paint mines; the cowboy, half
man, half horse, clad in leather be-
low the waist. white plumed above
is his wide brimmed sombrero flap
ping in the wind, his gun handy 10
his fingers; the cavalry soldier in
rough and ready uniform with sabre
and carbine, also the Cossack, Jap
anese, Mexican, Arab and military
squads, all are the real things.
Shakespeare's characters have been
clad in many kinds of costumes, diff
ferent to such an extent as to cause
discussion as TO accuracy, but in the
Wild West You see the authentic en-
semble with the height of color and
picturesqueness, surprising that of
imaginery; yet true to life. The
Indians, cowboys and cavalrymen are
dressed and armed Just as they were
when the great far West was a ter
ribly debated land. every rod of
which was won amid the red of fire
and blood
There is absent the glamor OF the
footHghts, the cunning use of cleo
tricity, the lavish display of tinseI.
yet there is riot of color. 1t is
simplicity and reality. effulgent in its
native brightness. No effort is MADE
to improve on the one hand or the
other. on the contrary you are car
ried back to the days that tried the
souls OF men and women, before
railroads opened up the wide terri
tory lying between the Mississippi
and Rocky Mountains. Life among
the Indian natives. the pioneers, and
the national armed forces is here
presented in the most commonplace
manner. yet with sincerity and d.
rectness which give this wonderful:
exhibition a permanent and ever
pleasing delight to the American and

THE YELLED PROPHET
t. F. Moore Writes Interestingly of
this Mysterious Parsonage who
Appears Annually at St.LOuis.

The above caption may be somewhat
mysterious to the uninitlated, and so it
used to be to us in boyhood's days when
Crown out north of Leon. Every fall
some one would invade the quiet Of that
little burg and put up large poster
with picture of white bearded old
man with crown on his head aud q
veil over his face. On the poster would
always be a line announcing that the
Yelled Prophet would appear in St.
Louis on such and such a date. That
was all there was to it, and we country
boys could never find any one who
could tell us who or what his mystic
majesty was, and we used to wonder
about it,. Once some bold spirit had the
courage to suggest that possibly it was
some secret order that had an annual
meeting in the Mississippi city, but
nobody ever knew. And so we had to
go on wondering.
But every mystery has solution,
whether we ever find it or not, and the
years, not very many of them either,
with their ever changing scenes have
come and gone and now we are in st.
Louis, that far away city of boyish
dreams, where the Yelled Prophet makes
his annual visit, and thinking that per-
haps there arc other country boys and
girls, and perhaps few older ones in
old Decatur who do not know this willy
fellow we got up early this morning and
came down to the Office long before OPP
ening hours SO we could have it quiet
and undisturbed while we tell you the
story of the Yelled Prophet.
No one seems to know his origin for
certain, but he is in all probability the
creature of some shrewd business mans
brain, and right well has he paid st.
Louis for all the fuss they make over
him every year, for he always brings to
town great company Of people from
surrounding towns. and they do not go
away until they have spent great deal
of money. He always comes on the first
Tuesday night in October, rain or shine
as the circus posters say. There is
always gorgeous electric parade on
that night, led by his majesty, and after
that there is grand ball participated
in by the very elect of st. Louis society,
and to get an invitation to this affair is
considered, except by those who are
left out, a great honor indeed.
1 But the electric parade is the one fea-
ture that all share alike, and it is this
which draws thousands of people from
i the surrounding country. And unless
one has seen the Worlds Fair, or some
other big thing that is all gorgeous and
glittering, it is worth coming many
miles to see, and some of us who have
seen it every year for several years can
not resist the temptation to drop every
thing else on Yelled Prophet night in
order to see the parade. Two hours
before the parade starts people begin
to gather along the route and at least
an hour before it comes the street is
q lined on either side with throngs OF
people. Those who are fortunate
enough to have homes along the line 81

go home and wonder what it will be,
like next year.
This is big week for st. Louis. AS
If the Yelled Prophets visit was not
excitement enough the President of the
United States came to visit us to-day.
For long time there has been talk of a
deep waterway to the Gulf, and at last
the President has taken hand and is
going down the Mississippi from Keo-
kuk to Memphis, accompanied by the
largest fleet ever assembled on this,

read his speech and know as much about
what he said as those who heard it. The
President was introduced by Governor,
Folk, and the walton given was pretty
evenly divided by the two men. When
it comes to fearlessness in carving out
their policies, the two men are very.
much alike, and the people accord them
much credit for it. The President spoke
seventy-one minutes, in a voice that
carried well to almost everyone of the
nine thousand people present His
speech dealt mostly with the deep
waterway project and federal control
OF railroads, and evoked frequent APP
plause.
At 4:1O p. m. the flag steamer, Missis-
sippi, bearing the President, cleared
from the wharf and started for Memphis
followed by twenty decorated steamers
and fleet of smaller boats. The Presi-
dent stood on the upper deck
waving his hat and bowling to the
thousands and thousands of people who
lined the leyee for blocks, to say moth
ing of thousands more who covered the
great Eads bridge from end to end. 1t
was indeed thrilling sight as the
greatest fleet ever assembled on the
Mississippi steamed away from the
wharf where was assembled the largest
crowd ever gathered on it's banks,
doubly thrilling il one can believe the
prophecies of those who say it is but
the harbinger of a day, when with the
deep waterway completed to the Gulf,
other and larger fleets shall make req
ular visits to this inland city. Certainly
the day is not without it's historical sig
nifcance to those who shall come after
us, and we counted it good fortune to
have witnessed so much of the scenes
attendant upon the most memorable
visit of President of nation to ST..
Louis.
