real VAUDEVILLE
Makes A BIG HIT
BIG HOUSE GREETED SULLIVAN
& coNsIDINE ROAD
SHOW HERE,
Every Minute Of Every Act Greeted
With Applause - Nothing Better
Ever Presented In Bismarck.

The show presented at the Bijou
last evening by the Sullivan & Consi.
| dine road show company was without
doubt the best vaudeville performance
ever brought to the city. The first act
ION the bill, which for some reason was
called AS You Like It," was the weak
est production of the evening, but at
that was better than the usual run of
vaudeville seen in the west. Maximo
the slack wire walker, is certainly
there with the goods, and some of the
feats he performs approach the mar
velous. His drunk on the wire act is
different and better than anything ever
attempted on the stage before. He
can walk better on slack wire than
many of us can on a level floor. Jo-
sephine Gassman and her three picki-
ninnies also made big hit with some
good singing and unique dancing. This
is one of the most entertaining colored
singing and dancing acts ever pro-
duced in the west and that it made a
hit here was shown by the generous
applause accorded them. "The Dis
trict Attorney" is dramatic gem pro-
duced by capable company, and while
it did not receive the applause given
the comedy numbers it was none the
less appreciated. There is some fine
work in the little sketch, and each
member of the company is an artist.
Noodles" Pagan, in. spite of the ex-
tensive advertising he has received
and the fact that the people expected
great things of him did not disappoint
in the least and had the crowd with
him from the start and kept them in
an uproar all the time. Fagan's act is
a monologue. and he has a system all
his own. The Kaufman troupe of lady
cyclists is an act without an equal on
the vaudeville stage, and the audience
is kept in thrill during the entire
progress of the stunt. Things appar-
emily impossible were done on the
wheel with an apparent ease that
added greatly to the interest.
This big show will be repeated at
the Eijou this evening and there will
be many changes in the program, in
fact, enough to make a second visit
worth while. There are reserved seats
sold and they will be offered at the
box office at o'clock.

BAY CITY, Mich, July 12.-The
twin towns of Oscoda and Ausable,
opposite each other at the mouth OF
Ausable river, and having combined
population of 1900 people, are in
ashes while such of it's inhabitants as
have not escaped on board the steam

and fields about the still burning
towns.
At midnight last night carload of

Woodruff and volunteer committee
was dispatched to the two cities, as
about 1900 people remained around
the ash heaps that was once their
homes. and had nothing to eat since
yesterday noon.
No loss of life has been reported,

PEPYs, THE DIARIST.

lous Old Gossip.

Pronouneino the Name Of the oarru.
lous Old Gossip;
Lovers Of Pepys often Nspute over
the correct pronunciation of his name
The form Peeps Is the one that has
chief authority on It's side. and it is
according to analogy in other like
spellings. such as Wemyss, pronounced
Weems. Peeps still holds good at
Cambridge and dates from its bearers
own time. 1t is also retained by the
representatives of Samuel's sister, the
Pepys Cockerell family. who are heirs
70 bis fame and some Of his property
The late Rev. J. W. Ellsworth, an in.
defatigable collector and editor Of bal
lads, adopts this pronunciation in his
pleasing stanzas on "A Gossip at Dept
ford"
For instance:
The state has no servant Of ill whom she
keeps
Like my squad little friend. who ND 10.
Dor does shirk.
The pattern Of quill driving clerks. Sam
Pepys
A disturbing element in the discus.
don is that the branch Of the family
represented by the Earl Of Cottenham
pronounce the name Peppis.
No bearer Of the name has ever been
known as Pops. though Ashby Sterry.
a respected member of the Pepys club
follows this common but erroneous
pronunciation In this excellent cpl
gram. published in the London Graphic
November. 1891:
There are people. I'm told-some say there
are heaps
Who speak Of the laxative Samuel an

And some. 90 precise and pedantic their

Who call the delightful old diarist Pepys.
But those I think right. and follow their
steps,

MAIL POUCHES.

sands Of Dollars Each.
Uncle Sam has twenty-eight differ
ent kinds of mail bags in service, and
they range in cost from % cents to
81. l56 each. There are mail pouches
for almost every conceivable use. anc
you can ship almost anything tina:
comes within the postal regulations
with minimum of loss and breakage,
says Harper's Weekly. Probably the
most peculiar mail bag is the one ar
ranged for carrying bees. Sending
bees by mail was difficult operation
before the 'bee bag" was adopted.
Usually the bees arrived at their des-
tination dead or SO exhausted that
they were Of little use. Now these
little honey makers can he shipped by
mail several thousand miles in the
"bee bag" without suffering and can
obtain air and good supply Of food
during their transit.
Mail bags are made Of various mate
rails. The cheapest are Of cotton and
the most costly Of leather. Those used
on fast expresses are REINFORCED with
metal so that they can be flung from
fast moving trains without damage.
Even then these bags. or catcher
pouches" do not last much more than
a year and half. while some Of the
cotton bags used for the work will re-
main in service upward Of ten years.
In parts of the west, where the mail
must be carried for many miles on
horseback. special pouches are in use
for singing over the animals tanks
In the far frozen north special bags
are made for sled transportation. and
in the cities bag In use for pnen-
matte tube service is made Of com.
position called ''leatheroid." The Of.
binary cotton mail bags are woven so
closely that they are practically wa
terproof. and in the weave there are
thirteen stripes of blue. Each country
marks it's own mail pouches in some
individual way. so that If one gets
lost in a far country its ownership
can be readily detected.
Nearly 65.OOO.OO0 mail bags are used
each year by the whole country, and
as they are being worn out all the
time the supply has to be kept up.
There are mail bag hospitals. where
tens of thousands of them 60 every
week. One such mail bag hospital re-
pairs upward of 5000 day. These
crippled bags are in all sorts Of dilap-
idated conditions A railroad wreck
may injure several hundreds or thou
sands. aud these must all 60 to tho
hospital before entering active life
again. Christmas Is responsible for
much damage to the mail bags. owing
to the hard service they get. and i'm.
mediately after the midwinter holiday
season several hundred thousand bags
60 to the hospitals.
Mail bags are the most Travelled Of all
articles in use today. They are con.
stantly moving. and 1t would be i'm
possible to estimate the number Of
miles a bag ten years old has trav.
eled.

There Is no caste among any Of the

i-Din Shah's butler became his prime
minister: peasant girl once became
the first favorite Of this same kings

the king was passing through her ma

to the royal fancy.
But while there Is no caste the Per-
SLAMS are in some ways great sticklers
for etiquette. The Zi-i.Sultan. the old

Din. could not succeed his father on
the throne because his mother was

INDIAN VILLAGES near.
STANTON TO Be SAVED
STATE CURATOR FISH coNFERs
WITH COMMISSIONERS
There.
Home Of the Noted Sakakawea Was
With One Of the Three Tribes Along
Knife River, a Mile From Stanton.
II. G. Fish, curator of the State His
torical society, has been working in
the interests of the society during the
past week near the town of Stanton,
returning to the capital city Sunday
evening.
Stanton is at the present time re-
garded by authorities as one of the
most important spots in the state for
data concerning the very early history
OF the state especially the history Of
the Indian tribes There are three
tribes that made their homes almost
on the spot where Stanton now is To-
Gated.
The Amahami village, often called
the Ahnahaways, was originally, in
1904. located near the mouth of the
Knife river and consisted of about so
In
said to have grown to Is houses, but
after the smallpox plague of 1887 the
entire tribe merged with eros Ventre
the kinfolk.
Another village was situated about
a mile north of town and was the home
of the renowned Sakakawea, whose ex-
ploits are commemorated in the statue
at the capital. Some of the best ex-
amples of earth lodge circles in exist
ence are shown in those at various
points along the knife river near there.
This village will, in time, become cele-
brated as the Dakota home of the Bird
woman, who guided Lewis and Clark
to the western country.
The largest and mother village of
the Gros Ventre tribe was stationed
just over the knife river on the pres
ent site of the Odds farm, and the
territory surrounding is very rich in
historic data.
Mr. Fish went to Stanton to see the
county commissioners there in regard
to the preservation Of the relics and
landmarks, and at the request of the
citizens Of that town gave very inter.
esting talk on the history of the eros
Ventre and Mandan tribes at the court
house hall Thursday evening. The
citizens of the town are progressive,
and realizing the value of the sur
country historically, they are
doing all in their power to help Mr..
Fish in his work of preservation.
AS soon as the new railroad Is
through. Stanton will be town that
will make itself heard commercially.
