SOME STRANGE SIGHTS.
Are Promised When Buffalo BilPs
Wild West Arrives in the City.

One OF the attractions OF Buffalo
Bills Wild West Is known as The
Great Train HoldU Up" and the engine
and cars used in the scene Will be es-
corted through the streets from the
railroad train To the exhibition
grounds by the original bandit-hunters,
number of whom took part in the
train hold-up at Wilcox, Wyoming,
where the original scene was located
Much difficulty was experienced by the
management in obtaining an engine
for THE Great Train Hold-Up," as IL
would be almost impossible to trans
fer from place TO place real locomo-
tive for use In the exhibition. The
difficulty was overcome, however, but
only by bringing into use the latest
invention OF modern times. AS basis
for Buffalo Bits imitation locomotive
an ordinary truck propelled by cleo
tricity Is used. To present the appear
ance Of real driving wheels OF loco
motive, IL was necessary to recon
struct the wheels OF the truck. yam
kee ingenuity devised an arrangement
for the engine which puffs black
smoke from the stack, with attendant
spasmodic noise OF real engine. A
whistle. bell and powerful electric
headlight is also provided. The en-
gineer in the cab of the engine oper-
ates all OF its devices, just as rail
road engineer handles his iron horse.

streets Of any city as this likeness

spectacular group add the odd sight
OF band OF Indians and contingent
of horsemen with their accoutrements,
riding through the streets, and one
may conceive what one might expect
TO see upon visit to Bunalo Bits

could from seeing a street parade. as
Il is usually gotten up. On the ar
rival at the exhibition grounds Of the
horsemen and their accompanying
equipments. an equally peculiar sight
will be the erection OF the Indian

TAFT COMES FROM GOOD STOCK
Family Ranked Among the Plain
People for Many Years.

Family Ranked Among the Plain
People for Many Years.
The Tatts-those who at present are
the Tafts-hail ancestrally from Tx
: bridge, Mass. They say that Tafts are
so thick in Uxbridge that even q wOm-
an can't throw a stone without hitting
one.
Some years ago-in 1874, to be exact
there was Taft reunion in Tx
bridge, to which descendants Of the
original Robert Taft came flocking
from all parts Of the country. One of
the conspicuous features of the affair
was q historical address by Alphonso
Taft, father of the present Republican
candidate. He traced the history Of
various branches of the family, and
when he came to the one to which he
and his children belonged he said:
"Our family have not embarked much
upon national politics, except that they
have shared in the battles Of the cOun-
try when national independence was
to be won, and also when the Union
was at stake. But brilliant political
careers have not been characteristic Of
the Tafts in the past. 1t Is not safe to
say what may be in store for them.
There Is a tide in the affairs Of men
and also OF families"
This is taken from toe account Of
the reunion published at the time. AL
phonso Taft would perhaps have been
somewhat dazzled If he could have fore
seen how quickly and brilliantly the
family would proceed to embark upon
national politics." He himself started
the turn of the tide which he predict
ed. 1t seems to be reaching its food
in the career Of the son who that year
was entering Yale.
AS Alphonso Taft described his i'm
mediate ancestors one sees where his
son got certain characteristics Peter
Taft (1715) was "a large, cookbook
ing man Of magnanimous disposition"
He had four SOILS.
Aaron, the candidates ancestor, was
also SO magnanimous that ne lost
money by indOrsing a friends notes );
he was a man "of great intelligence
and integrity" And then, going some
what further back, there was Captain
William Taft, who took Blarrey Cas-
tie in the sixteenth century "by blair
ney quite as much as by military
prowess." Good stock was Captain
William from which to make q twen-
tieth century Secretary Of War Will
liam.
