a flag and every one arose and waved
the flag In speaking of China Mr.
Taft said:
China is one of the greatest coun-
tries OF the world and is capable OF
wonderful development. 1t has main
tanned almost a stationary position
through all it's history. 1t is now
turning toward civilization, conserya-
lively, but turning, and is learning les
sons of development. II is the great.
est movement in the world today.
Our relations to China and the
Philippines have been most sentimen

becoming commercial and political
We are teaching them personal res

prepare these Eastern people make
them it for self government, that they
will not be led astray by momentary
alterations and so lose The advance

them a delegation from Missouri

Scene At NIGHT

Fair Grounds Thronged With
Well Pleased Crowds
Last Evening.
VAUDEVILLE A STRONG CARD

Many Acts OF Merit Prcscntcd-Dis-

A STRONG CARD

The evening feature at the fair
grounds last night was the vaudeville
entertainment on the park opposite the
highly meritorious performance. A
long platform had been erected upon
which the performers appeared. A cir
Gle OF electric lights surrounded the
stage and the various acts We're pre-
sented under their glare.
The show opened with Il triple trap
exc act which contained q number OF
new features. The smythe sisters
three of them--followed with some
clever controtionist acts which We're
sl1lfully executed. The "Dare-Devil''
Nolo, advertised 10 leap the gap in
hair raising style, rode his bicycle
down an Incline something like they
have in circuses, and made n leap
which failed 10 elicit n hand-cap. The
small boys present were much disap-
pointed, many Of them complaining
that the rider did not even turn a
somersault."
The lady on the tight wire was u
clever performer. and the antics OF the
accompanying clown saused a deal Of
merrlment. The lady cornetist, dressed

sidcrably and her support was ex-5
tremely ragged edged The high diving
OF the Noilns. man and wife, was the
most meritoriouS feature Of the even
ing nine separate and different styles
of diving from high tower into u
pond of water is feet long by ~ feet
wide by AZ feet deep, being exactly as
advertised. When Mr.. Norm climbed
5uD to the top of the 60-foot tower and
dove headlong into the small patch OF
water below people held their breath
until he bobbed UP from the pond un-
hurt. The diver also donned suit
of burning paper and dove into the
pond which had been covered with
burning oil, after which his wife made
her only dive from half way up the
tower.
The most novel feature of the even
ing perhaps was the aggregation of
Shoshnne Indians, who gathered in a
circle in their SNOWY blankets and to
the weird sound OF the pom-pom ex-
ecutcd war cries and gave a correct
imitation of the Indian war dance.
The entertainment closed with an
exhibition of Palms fireworks, and this
was a most beautiful display. Among
the pleasing features were the set
piece, the Last Rose of Summer

sions We're somewhat on the frosty"
