WAS Maryland day and big Thursday
OF the exhibition The gate and grand
stand receipts were slightly ahead of
last year,
Reunions were the order of the day,
and friends shook hands who had not
seen each other since the fair of last
year The best evidence of the popu-

and remain until sunset on the last
.ay. Owing to the present success
there is disposition on part of the
management to branch out next year
in the way of free attractions. These
viii involve expense but it is agreed
that they will pay in the long run. 1t

part Of the management will bring

son and Marshall and the State Demo
cratic ticket.

late Admiral Schley who lives at Rock
land, the handsome county estate of

and that Orchard sat fifteen back in

tention. Then the moment came for
some sort of expression as to how the
prisoners were getting along, this
much hated and condemned man
stood and said substantially: II have
always found it difficult matter to
not want to get even with an enemy.
Even now since my conversion that
same old trouble is my warfare. l

make constant fight with myself,
but thanks be to God for his wonder

look upon him with sort of fear and
and yet with confidence
and trust.
An estimate of Idaho's potatoe crop
is being made and will be about as
follows:
The Twin Falls region. 1900 cars
The Payette Valley. ...... 600 cars
The Boise valley ;. ...... 400 cars
The Snake river region between
Short Line and river. 200 cars
Other territories /. 49,. 200 cars
Total .3,oOO cars
AT an estimate of 10000 pounds or
100 bushels to the car, these figures
ire equal to 100000 bushels which is
40, 100000 pounds.
This means that Idaho must ship
out more than 5000 cars of spuds
which means further that 100 hustling
elbows must each find market for
hirty cars of potatoes or else let the
anchors get poor price for this
legant crop. One hundred pounds
# potatoes will make ten gallons of
lcohol at a cost of 100, which will
ell in the place of gasoline for $500,
which means that Idaho will have
potatoes enough to manufacture
lower enough to raise like quantity
f potatoes next year, transport the
,hole crop to the eastern cities, run
ngines enough to raise a volume of
,ater equal to the irrigation of acre
&c for an increase spud planting, feed
he city OF New York their potatoes c
Or 800 days, and this means every c
ay except Sunday. Potatoe clubs in a
his state are getting to be popular
Kings and spud experts are mater
llizing everywhere Several potatoe
rowers have planned to hold their I
rop until it brings one cent for every
ound of potatoes. Other states ar,
eing investigated with the result that t
will continue to ship this h
BOD to us while we are learning howl

A GREAT MARRIAGE FEST"
SAME CEREMONY WILL UNITE
1000 INDIAN COUPLES.
Winnebago Tribe in Formal Council
Have Voted to Marry in the
White Mans WAY.

WINNEBAGO, Neb.-The entire
tribe of Winnebago Indians has de-
cided to get married. In formal
council, in which every male in the
reservation participated, the Indians
voted to forsake the ways of their
fathers in the matter of matrimony
and to marry in the white mans
way. The action is to be retroactive
and now the Indians are preparing
for the greatest marriage fest eV-
er known. AS soon as the arrange
ments can be made something like
1000 couples of Indians will stand
up and be married at the same time
and by the same ceremony. Double
weddings are not common; triple
weddings are rare; quadruple we'd
dings are almost unheard Of. But
when the 1000 Winnebagoes stand
up to be joined the marriage record
for all time viii be broken.
The Indians are making great
preparations for the event, but these
probably will not be completed until
spring. No Indian tribe would miss
an opportunity of this kind to re-
big wedding IS over the Winnebagos
expect to be the richest tribe in the
west
Practically all Indian tribes east
of the Rocky Mountains and most OF
those west of the range have long
since adopted the white mans man
ner of marriage. Not so with the
Winnebagos. Polygamy is common
and desertion constitutes divorce.
Scarcely a man on the reservation
but who has had from II to 20 wives
and scarcely 4 woman but who has
had that many husbands. No Win
nebago knows when he leaves his
cabin in the morning if he will have
a wife upon his return, and no Win
nebagO woman knows when her hus-
band will throw her out OF his lodge
and refuse to permit her to return.
Some time ago the government be-
gan the task of allOting a farm to
each Winnebago. Then arose the
question of land for the children.
And, further, to whom did the chill
dren belong? The wiser Indians saw
the trouble and were intelligent
enough to see that some way must
be provided by which the title to
future heirship land could be kept
straight They discussed the mat
ter with the missionaries, the Indian
agent and with lawyers of the adj
joining tribe of Omaha 1t was set
tied that the only remedy law in mar
riage according to the state law. The
idea took and the Winnebagos, with
out a dissenting voice, voted to get
their licenses and be married just
like white folks. There will be
big marriage feast, at which a dozen
or more steers will be roasted. There
will be a week or more of dancing,
horse racing, eating, drinking mes
cal, gambling and a general good
time.

HERE IS A FLEA COLLECTOR
RICH ENGLSHMAN HAS PECUL-
lar AND EXPENSIVE HOBBY.
Has Representatives in Every Part
of the World Looking for Differ
ent Types of Little Jumpers.

ent TYPES OF L1UJl6 jumpers.
The life ambition of one of the
worlds richest men is-feas. He
possesses them from everywhere
fieas from the Arctics and f1eas from
Australia. Big fleas, little fieas, me-
dium-sized ones, fleas with spots and
feas without them. Hon. Charles
Rothschild, son of the late Lord
Rothschild and a member of the rich
| est family in the world, loves them
all, and has resolved his life into ore
grand song whereof the refrain is
fieas, feas, fleas.
In the geological museum owned
by his brother, Walter Roths2hild,
at Thring, a little town in Hereford
shire, 80 miles from London, Charles
Rothschild wanders among his flea
cabinets, gloating over his rare spec
| linens planning the capture of more
! For Is years he has pursued fleas
| persistently, internationally, paying
/ large sums or small sums to achieve
his desire, until now his dea collec-
! ton ranks as the greatest in the
world.
The average person imagines there
! is but one kind of flea, that which
I meets us somewhere in the middle of
our backs and bites where we can't
scratch. Wrong. There are more
breeds and grades of feas than are
! fashions shown on a bright Sunday
Every dog has his fleas, and even
every cat. The musk OK grows an
especial flea, and the silver fox has
his own unique brand. Practically
every species of animal carries ex-
cess baggage in the shape of an in
dividually designed flea. Charles
Rothschild possesses $50 types of
fleas. But his collection is not COM
plete, and the man who can discover
! the kind of flea which Rothschild
does not possess is on the way to
gratitude and money.
| England's great flea expert is will
| ing t. spend real money when it
comes to getting what he wants
/ Several years ago he learned that
the silver fox of the Arctic regions
specialized on a brand of flea not at
all common. He wanted that flea
At first he considered offering a re-
ward of $4,000 for it, but later de-
cided to send an expedition that
would be sure to get the especial in
sect and no other.
That he may further enhance his
! flea collection Mr.. Rothschild has
representative in every part of the
world. These men, who are profess
sional insect gatherers, get their or
ders to go out and procure especial
types and then ship shem to England,
and they are hard at it every day
in the year. There are other flea
collectors with whom he exchanges
specimens.
