PICTURESQUE LIFE
. of FRONTIER
RECALLED
HEAP OF REALISM IN BUFFALO
BILLS WILD WEST SHOW
FIFTEEN THOUSAND SEE FINE
EXHIBITION.

Vividly and with all the color OF
nature, the rough. picturesque lie OF
the old western frontier-the romance
OF q period that has passed forever
was brought back to the minds OF
many thousands OF Detroiters by Buf-
falo Bits Wild West show Monday
afternoon and evening. Boyhood
dreams were recalled TO the elders and
new dreams formed In the minds OF
the youngsters of today by the pa
geant Of painted Indians. the flannel
shirted cowboys and the Negotiated
Mexicans who played their parts for
few hours In the turf arena.
The charm OF things wild, grim,
primeval, which clings to even the
grown-ups gripped the crowds as they
watched the mimic border conflicts
Tor gazed at the rude scenes OF life
IN an aboriginal village. Warriors in
feathers and pigments. blanketed
squaws, nimble pappooses. train-rob-
bers, cattlemen, soldiers, these were
the actors that formed the cast Of the
real life drama
And. central figure of all. there
was William f. Cody. the Buffalo
BIZ of our youthful days, chief In
this panoramic spectacle of western
frontier life as he was chief among
the scouts and hunters OF that day
when the Indian and the buffalo
roamed the western plains untroubled
by the white mans might.
Still commanding figure In spite OF
his Ga years. Col. Cody sat on his
horse as erectly. broke glass balls
thrown In the air with his rife bullets
as accurately from horseback and led
his men as commandingly as was his
wont a score Of years ago. Clad In
wide sombrero, red flannel shirt and
buckskin trousers, he was the same
martial figure as of old
The Wild West show has grown
from the one-ring affairs Of other
times until II Is of size TO vie with
the great circuses. Fifteen thousand
people found seats In the great main
top tent. Monday, and In the grassy
center was room for the laying out Of
an entire Indian village. In this space
the battle of Summit Springs was re-
enacted. the cavalry riding In to bat
tie with and dispense the Sioux war
riors. The hand-to-hand duel In which
puhdiO oiii hiiCN euC ChiCA Dull,
was played over again.
While this scene appeared to rouse
the most enthusiasm In the ranks of
the spectators. the realistic hold-up of
a train and the surprise and killing
OF the robbers was the next most In
teresting thing. Many a written tale
was made newly alive In the minds of
those looking on by this scene The
old Deadwood coach also attracted
much attention. although few who saw
1t remembered the days when stage
coaches were frequent mode OF
travel
A pushball game between Indians
and white men on horseback won
plaudits, the skill and horsemanship of
the contestants awakening admiration
Other features were the artillery drill,

JUDGE ROBERTS CANDIDACY.

The Abba Union is out with an en-
dorsement of the candidacy of Judge
M. A. Roberts for the nomination for
supreme judge to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Bishop.
Concerning Judge Roberts the Union
says:
THE Judge is SO well known
throughout the state that he will
doubtless go into the convention
with as strong following as any 9TH
er candidate. He is now in his four
teenth year as district Judge, and the
record that he has made is an enyi-
able one. He has the further advan-
tage of coming from part of the
state, that is wholly unrepresented on
the supreme bench. There is at pres
ent no supreme judge located south of
Iowa City and east of Red Oak. The
southeastern part of the state is GER
tainly entitled to representative and
Judge Roberts location, along with
his eminent qualifications, will make
him a formidable candidate
Judge Roberts will have the sup
port of the judicial district cnmposed

THE MAN WHO 10 AHEAD.

A newspaper poet has broken forth
in defense OF an individual who is not
always given the credit he deserves
He says:
In almost every newspaper you pick
up you are pretty sure to find lot Of
gush about the man behind the count
er and the man behind the gun, the
man behind the buzzsaw and the man
behind the sun, the man behind the
times, the man behind his rents, the
man behind the plough-share and the
man behind the fence, the man behind
the kodak and the man behind the
bars, the man behind his whiskers and
the man behind his fists, and every.
thing is entered on the list. But
they've skipped another fellow, of
whom nothing has been said-the fel.
low who is even or little way ahead
who pays for what he gets, whose
bills are always signed. He's blame
sight more important than the man
who is behind. ALI the editors and
merchants and the whole commercial
clan are indebted for existence to
this honest fellow man. He keeps us
all in business and his town is never
dead, so we take off our hats to the
man who is ahead.
All of which contains more hard
common sense than most of the efforts
Of the newspaper poets.

WHITE ON CLEVELAND.

The Burlington Hawk-Eye quotes
the following portion of a speech
made at Des Moines recently by Fred
e. White, the Democratic candidate
for governor:
1.-THE Democrats have been licked
for fifty years, and it is time we had
a man of our own In Office While
Cleveland served two terms in Office,
it was impossible for him to follow
out any other than the chosen poll
cies of his predecessors in Office. II
was in his power to revise. the tariff
but he failed to do so. He followed to
the letter the Republican financial
policy as well as the others. So tired
have the people become of this state
of affairs, that were the election held
today, Bryan would be elected almost
unanimously"
Mr. White evidently did not read
the Cleveland resolutions adopted at
the Denver convention, else he
would have taken the cue and been
more polite in his reference to
Cleveland and the Cleveland Demo
Gratis.

GO TO WORK.

When despair's sharp edge Is near,
Go to work.
When your mind Is racked with fear
Go to work.
When you're brooding DER the past,
When the sky is overcast,
Troubles coming thick and fast
Go to work.
When you think you've reached the
end,
Go to work.
When you haven't cen a friend,
Go to work.
When you can't see light ahead,
When your utmost hope has fed,
Don't lie moping in your bed,
Go to work.
Or, to speak in current phrase,
Get move.
Ii you have no place to Craze,
Get busy.
Take this pointer from me, pard,
When you're feelin' awful Jared,
Up against it good and hard.
Hump yourself.
