AIRSHIP is COMING.
Monster Airship Will be Brought to
This City by Yankee
Robinson.

The event of the year will be the

ship which will be demonstrated in
this city on the day of exhibition of
the Yankee Robinson show. This is
the identical airship that made the
circle of Eiffel Tower in Paris last
September. 1t is indeed, as out
lined in the advertising of the show,
the marvel of the age. Prof. Fos-
ter, who has charge of the big ship,
has a worldwide reputation in Eu-
rope, where he has made successful
flights before the army officials OF
Germany, France, England and Rus
sia.
Owing to the immensity of this
production, the Yankee Robinson
show will only exhibit this season
every one hundred miles. Arrange
ments have been made to run ex-
cursions for one hundred miles to
this city. 1t is conservatively esti,
mated by railway officials that up
wards of five thousand people will
take advantage of the low rate to
witness this never to be forgotten
sight. Together with the visitors by
rail, the country people who will
drive to the point of exhibition and
others who will be desirous Of TAX

of twenty thousand people will wit

ODE TO PIEPLANT.
Bailey of Britt Present His COmpli-
merits to Succulent Spring
Vegetable.

No matter what else may come
and go, rhubarb is here, and rhubarb
pie replaces goneness with a fill
ing sensation that is one glad hal
lelujah and benison. An Ameri-
can table without rhubarb pie in
the spring is as barren as a county
fair without pumpkin, or church
sociable without grass widow.
After a man has wintered on ex-
celsior, baled hay and other break
fast foods and dried apples, rhubarb
pie puts new vim and energy into
him like the bent pin to the anatomy
of the adolescent pedagogue. 1t
stirs his innermost processes with
joyous melody and starts his palate
into a paean of praise. 1t is rhap-
sody, an anthem, superb harmony.
1t permeates his being with the gee
whiz of the horseradish and the
aroma of spring; it elevates in joy
and makes one feel like a yearling
colt doing didoes in green pastures.
1t instigates ambition and induces
hilarity; it gives the stomach joy
Gus tone and tickles the gullet
nightly; it really hits the spot"
with delightful sensations.
Rhubarb pie is to the housewife,
what the spring hat is to the mill
iner-a creation and a phenomenon.
If the crust is just right and the in
wards perfect, it is the elysium of
exhilaration and the excellence of
delight. 1t grows in the night like
Jonah's gourd and is so cheap that
it can be fed to tramp with i'm
punity or accompanied by a dough
nut.
Pieplant stands just between the
vegetable and the fruit; 1t is the
connecting link between agriculture
and horticulture, but can get out of
the ground and into a pie while an
apple is studying the advisability
of blossoming. 1t is one of the most
sudden of all garden products and
arrives just between hay and grass.
1t is the pie timber of frugality and
the harbinger of hope to the house
wife. 1t greets the rich and poor
alike and a dozen hills of it will
feed an army. It's the forerunner OF
asparagus, coeval with the crocus'
It's only competitor is the horserad-
ish, the cowslip and the dandelion.
Pieplant and green's are the pio-
neers of fresh smelling and the pal
ate ticklers of spring time. The
crocus, the humble bee and bull frog,
the mud turtle, green's and pieplant.
Go away, icicles and snowballs! Pie
plant Is here, and Is tickling the gul-
let of civilization till it purrs with
contentment like kitten.

Claims amounting to about
$45O,O0O of the Sac and Fox Indians
of the Mississippi in Iowa against
the Sac and Fox Indians of the Mis-
sissippi in Oklahoma have been de-
cided by the Supreme Court of the
United States against the Iowa
Indians, and all claims disallowed.
The litigation turned largely on the
status of those of the Sac and
Fox Indians who left the tribal re-
servation in Kansas in the years
1855 to 1866 without the consent
of the federal government in Tama
county, Iowa. Subsequently the
United States at least partially re-
cognized the right of the Iowa
Indians to share in the distribution
of the tribal annuities and moneys.
The Iowa Indians claimed that they
did not get their proper pra rata
share in this distribution.

Almost every player on both teams had a

were so fair and just In their decisions
that even the most partisan fans had few
objections 10 offer. At the beginning of
the game. however. excitement ran so
high that 1t was expected the tasks OF
the arbiters would be most unpleasant.
but the reverse was true.
The Utah Copper battery was Tresedoar

teries. SweitZer pitched four and one
third innings and Sydwadsjkl finished the
game, Burch caught for Sweitzer and
Suder was backstop for Bngham's sec"
