Eugene Ely made another brilliant
flight at the exposition grounds about
o'clock last evening. He encountered
sitter wind than on any Of his other
accents, but Unanswered with charac-
teristic skill and daring and remained
In the air seven minutes.
The wind was from the southwest
and was strong enough to keep the
flag on the top Of the exposition tower
stretched out to it's full length. For so
or more feet from the ground, how
ever, the aviator did not encounter
much of breeze and when it struck
him he was high enough to meet it
successfully. AS on his previous flights
Ely Unanswered southwest of the
grounds and attained height
of several hundred feet be-
fore sailing over the heads
of the crowd. AS he came back with
the wind behind him his speed was
terrific. Turning to the northwest he
climbed to an altitude that many be-
lieve was greater than that attained in
either of his previous attempts. When he
returned to the ground he dove from
a greater height than ever before and
his descent was the most thrilling of
any yet made.
Goes East Tonight.
Ely's fight yesterday was made I'M
Ger the handicap of illness, but was
entirely satisfying TO all who saw it.
Today he makes his last ascent. To
hight he leaves for Roanoke, Va,
l.-Ioro Tho fol
loving week he Will be at Poughkeep-
sic. y. Y, and then he will prepare to
compete in the Chicago-New York race
fer purse of $4,000.
Before his fight this afternoon the
aviator will be presented with the
Si00 cup offered as q special trophy by
the exposition directors. This trophy
VIII be highly appreciated by Ely, be-
cause Glenn H. Curtiss, by whom he
is employed, has declared that the one
of his pupils winning the most prizes
for successful flights will be selected
to accompany him and participate in
the next international meet at Paris.
The public will be interest in the
fact that the airsnip used here this
week by Ely is not the one originally
made for his use, but is the one used
by eCurtiss himself in his successful
Albany-New York fight, when he won
a prize Of $4,000 for being the first to
accomplish the feat. The trip was
made with single stop, Curtiss cir
cling the statue of liberty in New York
harbor as one of the terms undeS
which the prize was offered. Ely mod
estly asked that newspapers refrain up
to this time from abiding to this fact,
because it would be generally consfd-
cred merely an advertising dodge, but
now that he is about to leave the city
after a successful flight he is willing
that the people should know that he mas
been using an airship that proved its
stability in one of the severest tests
ever given an aeroplane.
Elys atrship was wrecked couple
of weeks ago and this one was taken
because 1t was impossible to immedi- |
ately repair the damage,

WONDERFUL PAGEANT.
Eucharistic Congress Closes With
Procession Many Miles Long.

Montreal, Sept. ia religious
pageant, as rich in devotional emo
ton as in sacred imagery and as or
derly in behavior as it was diverse in
nationality and huge in size, closed
today the twenty-tirst international
eucharistic congress, held this year
for the first time in the Dominion OF
Canada.
Visitors from the United States
were especially impressed with the
magnitude, splendor and reverence OF
the procession, which marched four
miles through the city streets, the
host at its head, to Mount Royal,
above the city.
A modest estimate is that there
were 100000 in line and that 100000
viewed it. The city is SO crowded to-
night that 100000 are sleeping on the
slopes of Mount Royal, in Dominion
Square and in other city parks.
1t took the brilliant file four and a
half hours to pass city hall, and
though it began to move at noon
from the cathedral Of Notre Dame,
it was 7 o'clock when the papal legate,
Cardinal Vannutelli, placed the host,
housed in a golden monstrance, on
the altar Of the repository built for
it at the foot Of the mountain.

one Of the biggest events ever under
taken in the state The prizes TO be
awarded are by no means confined to
fruit. Cereals and vegetables and all
other products Of the farm and garden
have ilatterng prizes to compete for
1t is more than likely that the Lew
istoWn Commercial Club will send
over some grain entries to compete
for the S250O0 prize offered by the
Milwaukee railroad for grain raised
along their line. Should the Judith
Basin enter the contest, there will be
nothing to it.

THE DELEGATES RETURN
Some Disappointment Over Failure
of Democrats to Nominate Well
Known Kendall Man.

Kendall, Sept l2.-The delegates to
the democratic convention from Ken
dali returned home Wednesday and
several of them expressed great dis
appointment over the failure Of the
leading democratic precinct in the
county to land a man on the ticket
They feel that a political mistake was
made in thus sighting Kendall, but
which was caused by the defeat Of
the gold camps candidate is more
than offset by the great variety OF
carving done in the republican con-
vention held last Saturday.
The site for town on the new Mil
waukee extension, below Kendall, has
been selected and purchased by the
Milwaukee people. The site was
formerly owned as homestead by
Mr.. Robinson and will be about five
miles from Kendall. Although it had
been hoped that the town would be
little nearer to Kendall, great salts
faction over the new town and rail
road is expressed on all sides at this
time.
Labor Day in Kendall passed off
more quietly than for years. A dance
was given by the Miners Union, for
the benefit of two injured miners in
Colorado. Owing to the inclement
weather, the attendance was not as
large as might have been desired, but
all report a fine time.
4 social, was given by the Ladies'
Aid, at the home of Mrs. Arthur
Fowler, on Friday evening. A large
number were in attendance and all
report a most enjoyable time Coffee
and sandwiches were served.
Jack Ryan transacted business at

ganization and order Of business
brought the question squarcly before
the convention The majority report
signed by fourteen members Of the
committee, advocated the nomination
of senatorial candidate, a minority
report signed by thirteen members of
the committee, asked that the ques-
ton be submitted asking whether the
convention should endorse sena-
torial candidate and if SO, then pro-
coed to nominate such candidate.
The majority reported having been
defeated decisiycly, the minority re-
port was adopted.
On motion of T. J. Walsh all other
consideration of the matter was in
definitely postponed. thus closing the
affair and placing the convention posi-
lively on record as opposed to the

Rather Serious Cutting" ARRAY in
County Court Room Last Satur-
day When Republicans Meet.
WOUNDS ARE PLENTIFUL
Billy Neill Given Demonstration of
the Double Cross-Mike Wall Is
Handed His'r.

A most unfortunate cutting affray
occurred in the court room Of the
county court house, last Saturday af-
ternoon, when the republicans of Fer
gus county met in their regular con-
vention for the nomination Of county
ticket Butcher knives, hatchets,
machetes, bolos and barlows were
used with much force and effect and,
while no real blood was spilled, sew
eral budding political careers were
ruthlessly slashed down and wounds
inflicted on the inner man in num-
Der Of instances which will'be long in
the healing.
Try to Smash Slate.
AS announced exclusively in the
Democrat, a number OF the leaders OF
the party held CAUCUS in this city
two or three weeks ago and fixed the
slate OF candidates. 1t was thought
that the action Of this caucus, as ever
in the past, would go through without
protest from any outside parties, even
though said outside parties were not
consulted III its making. That was
the way things were handled in the
good old days, and that prince OF
slate-makers, Jack Waite, never
dreamed that the boys from Moore
and Roundup would be guilty Of such
lese majestic as attempting to inter-
fere with the scheduled order OF
things.
But they did, although they speedily
discovered that Jack still has his hand
on the helm Of the G. O. r. ship o.
state in Fergus county. Their efforts
to switch the mbination were note.

Temporary Organization.

The convention was called to order
at 10 o'clock in the morning by o.
w. Belden, chairman OF the county
committee. After the reading of the
official call by Secretary Mckoin, the
temporary officers were announced,
as follows:
Chairman, Frank E. Wright; secre-
tary, c. O. Ray. In taking the chair,
Mr.. Wright made a few brief remarks
and all seemed serene as a day in
June. The following committees were
chosen:

begin.
Hedges Own Speech.
Upon reassembling after noon, the
report Of the committee on permanent
organization reported and recon-
mended Hon. w. A. Hedges for per-
manent chairman and G. 0. Ray for
permanent secretary. The report was
adopted and Mr.. Hedges was escort
ed to the chair, and Immediately pro-
ceeded to regale the delegates with
his favorite speech. Mr.. Hedges is a
born orator and maltreated consider

up to reputation which is somewhat
topheavy. However, the time he con-
sumed only gave the audience an op-
portunity to get a better edge on
their knives and sharpen TIP their
