BECAUSE of a broken car the second
section Of the Sells-Floto circus did
not reach here until nearly noon,
causing a delay in the days program.
The parade was not held until 2:30
o'clock and the circus was given at 8.
All Is in readiness, however, for the
performance this evening.
1t was nearly l O'clock before the
big top was up but the machinery
used in the erection of this tent made
it possible to put it up very soon after
it arrived on the grounds.
In spite of the late hour, hundreds
of people lined the streets for the
great parade.
First came a group of gorgeously
costumed girls, ~proclaiming with
blasts on their bugles the advance of
Col. w, F. Cody, who followed i'm
mediately behind. The rest of the
cavalcade was made up of elephants,
Gagged wild animals, dromedaries, sa-
cred cattle, and the rest of the beasts
which are accustomed to appear in
circus parades. The section represent
ing the circus proper was followed by
the performers, Buffalo Bills wild
west show, cowboys and ranch girls,
u. S. artillerymen and Sioux braves.
The air was fairly saturated with mu-
sic from ten bands and two calliopes,
one of which represents an innovation
in parade music.
One of the most notable features Of
the procession was the unusually fine
display Of horses. Besides scores or

MACHINERY AT
The STATE FAIR
MOVING EXHIBITS WILL ATTRACT
MUCH ATTENTION-MANY NEW
AND NOVEL INVENTIONS TO BE
SHOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME, AT
THE FAIR.

Inasmuch as Fargo is the second
largest distributor of farm machinery
in the world it seems entirely fitting
that a part Of the state fair be given
over to the exhibit of agricultural ma
chinery. Not only will there be many
exhibits in machinery hall, but several
of the larger companies will have spec
idl displays.
Perhaps to the outsider there is a
sameness about machinery exhibits
that is uninteresting, but to the user
of machinery the improved tool or a
new method of handling a marvellous
piece Of machinery is intensely inter-
esting. At the state fair this year., the
exhibitors will have their displays so
arranged that they will be Interesting
to everyone.
AS far as possible all of the machin-
cry will be moving and practical dem
onstrations will be given as to the me-
thOd of operation. Dealers will make
every effort to greet old customers and
provide rest rooms for them.

BITTER CUP
INCIDENTS THAT PRECEDED VA,
PoLEoN's EXILE TO ELIZA.
Corrqueror Would Have Resisted to
the Last, But His Generals De-
serted Him-Insisted on For
mer Leaders AbdicatIon. ,

A hundred years ago n Of the
events of all history occurred. 1t was
the abdication Of Napoleon as EN-
peror of France and the signing away
of the rights of his family to the
throne Of that fair land. The Bourbon
family was to be returned TO power,
the Allies having entered Paris.
Napoleon, beset on every hand on
the downward slide from the crest Of
power, had returned to Fontainebleau
at the beginning Of April, too late, al
though he would not recognize defeat.
He was still bent on doing something.
On the night of April 2, Caulafncourt
returned from Paris with the news
that the senate had deposed the for
mer master. His reception of the news
was dramatic.
The following day was a busy one.
His officers were called.
II have offered to the Emperor Alex
Rnder," said he, "a peace at the price
of great sacrifices. France with her
former frontiers. He has refused; he
allows the troops to the white
cockade. I will attack Paris. I count
on you. Am 1 right?"
The appeal to their attachment was
great. The re~sourceful conqueror stood
before them.
"Vtve lEmpereur! To Paris!" was
the shout of assent that Numbered
gratefully in his ears.
"Tell your soldiers" he said brief
ly.
The generals, however, stood aloof.
Ney was their leader. To them the
situation was not n that could be
cured by. the imagination alone. Real
power was needed. He, Lefebvre and
Money entered Napoleon's study with
out awaiting his will.
Sire said Ney, 1T Is time to end
this. Your situation Is desperate. You
must make up your mind and abdicate
for the King Of Rome"
Napoleon began to discuss the situa'
ton.
cit Is impossible!" Ney exclaimed,
breaking in impatiently. "The army
will not follow you. You have lost its
confidence"
"The army has still obedience
enough to punish your rebellion" re-
sponded Napoleon, still the master as
their eyes met. Ney quailed before
that glance.
Breakfast was served late the fol
lowing day, the hour being II o'clock
The Emperor came to the meal witt
q number of his generals, including
Ney. They ate heartily and then re
tired to an adjoining room. Napoleon
stalked up and down for some min
utes, his eyes fixed upon the floor. Sud
denly he stopped before Caulaincour'
and said:
II will abdicate."
"sire," said Money. 'tyou are saw
ing France"
After some discussion, Napoleon
added: IT have desired the glory an'
happiness of France. ! have not sue
ceeded. I abdicate and retire"
On April IL the formal act of abdi
cation was delivered to the Allies ant
dhe treaty, generally known as tn
treaty OF Fontainebleau, was signed
BY this document Napoleon was mad

title of emperor was continued. II

REDEEM The GANG"
and SAVE The BOY

Chicago, July 1O.-"The gang is the
key to all work with boys and the
gang is a natural instinct Of boy
hood and not an invention of the dew
ill.," said G. Walter Fiske, of Oberlin
university, before the Sunday school
institute at the University of Chicago.
ITO redeem the boy it is necessary
to redeem the gang" he continued,
for it is easier to save boys wholesale
than retail. Public opinion for the boy
is the gang, not his pious relatives nor
his father and mother. With his gang,
the boy is naturally on the square,
while with outsiders he may lie or
steal consistently: for the boy has one
code of ethics with his gang and an
other outside of it."

mutilated body of Edward Feagan, a
non-union carpenter foreman of Nor
wood, a suburb, in a sub-cellar of a

beaten to death but from appearances
he had put up a valiant fight for his
life. The authorities have nc clew as
to who his assailents were or how he
came to be in the sub-cellar. A strike
of union carpenters has been in pro-
gress here for three months. Ac-
cording to fellow workmen, Feagan
was 76 years old, but very active for
his age.
