penchant for intoxicating liquor.
Now and then lumbermen would get
the bear drunk, which was an exceed

rum, but would drink whiskey II

TELEGRAPH OF SAVAGE
SENDS NEWS SWIFTLY OVER
GREAT DISTANCES.
Natives Of the Sudan Use Horns Of
Elephant Tuska, ifomtoms and
Whistles BasutDs Employ
Large courd Drums.


The principle OF telegraphy would
appear to have been anticipated by
the savage tribes OF Africa In the
heart of Africa. This barbaric system
OF communication, at once practical
and effective. survives to this day
and its value has been tested many
times.
French explorers seem TO have been
the first TO bring this system to the
knowledge Of civilized people. BY
means of Il news of important events
in the interior Of the Sudan reaches
all the trading ports on the coast In O
very short time.
/ The communication II made By
means OF various Instruments. the
most common ones being horns. TOM
toms and whistles. The horns are
mace OF solid ivory. followed out OF
elephants tusks. The mouthpiece 10
at the side. These trumpets are OF
various sizes, but the fayorite ones
are very long and give seven distinct
notes, produced by plugging tho
mouthpieco with corks OF different
sizes. The ordinary tomtom Is a hol-
ow bit OF wood. with goaiskin
stretched over one end.
I The following instance Illustrates
the manner In which this native tele-
graph Is employed. The post COM
mander ut Stanley Falls was once In
formed by a native OF neighboring
village that provision train had been
attacked two days before at point
$50 miles further down the Congo. A
week later the party arrived and con-
frmed the story In part.
they had reached the scene OF the
alleged attack ut the time reported,
but the shots that the natives had tn
ken as indications Of q conflict with
robbers had been fired At herd OF
antelope.
At a later period. when an officer OF
the French Congo came 10 grief In the
rapids. the accident was reported the
next morning at . village iss miles

Among the Bengala tribe sort OF
xylophone is used with four notes. by
means Of which the natives communi-
cate over great distances in kind OF
telegraphic language.

smong the Basutos discovered that tho

sages from one chief. 10 another or OF
transmitting the Intelligence OF defeat
or victory.
The Basutos hollow out . large
gourd and thoroughly DIX IT, Then
kidskin. as hard and as thin az parch-
rent, is stretched across the hollow OF
this gourd. When beaten with pad
ded drum stick this gives forth
sound that can be distinctly heard at
q distance of from fivc to eight miles.
In every village there ID q class OF
men who are utilized az scou<-
Among these there are always some
trained to use the gourd drum. The
code is what might be called an At
rican Morse alphabet and is beaten on
the drum In the open air.
The sound Is carried across tho val

fair next week. There were about
twenty-five autoes in the bunch and
they were well filled. The party start
ed east, making Aurora, Elkton, Bush
nell, White, Toronto, Estelline. Bruce.
Arlington, Sinai and Volga. The crowd
was met with the glad hand at every
town visited and there seems to be
more interest in the fair than ever be-
fore, which is natural, as it will be
the biggest and best fair yet. The
tourists were especially well pleased
with their treatment by the Sinai COM
mercial club, the boosters Of that
hustling little town meeting the party
at Arlington and escorting them to
Sinai, where a fine lunch was served,
The White commercial club also have
the thanks of the party for cigars.
The party reached home shortly after
six o'clock. having visited ten towns
and travelled 125 miles in about ten
hours.

The county fair management have
issued the following statement:
This is the last appeal to the peo-
pie of the county to remember the big
annual event hat takes place next
week. The county fair only comes
once a year and this is the year when
it will be the best that was ever seen
in the whole northwest. Entries are
coming in daily and the interest shown
from all parts of the county is most
encourage g. With the people behind
a thing it is bound to win. We want
you n and all to be with us in this
great come-to-gether meeting of the
county. We want your exhibits and
we will give you the very best of at
tention and the fairest kind of treat
ment. We have engaged a grand array
Of amusements to entertain you, they
are all clean and good, we guarantee
them to be high class. The carnival
company comes with the highest en-
dorsements from responsible towns
and people. The air ship will
be here as we have had word from the
Young Aeroplane Co. that they will
send us the best aviator they have.
The parade of decorated autos is
bound to be magnificent, as the cups
offered by the association and Mr..
Bunday are well worth trying for.
Everybody wants to have an opportun-
ity to get the Ford touring car and we
want you all to get in the game. Three
ways of getting tickets, from your
merchant with a cash purchase, or
with every tenth ticket purchased at
the gate, or with the fair souvenirs
sold on the grounds. We are looking
for the biggest crowds ever gotten to-
gether in Brookings county. We have
everything in readiness and promise
that no pains will be spared in making
this a most enjoyable, profitable and
successful fair and the browning glory
of Brookings county's great crop year."
Don't forget the big offer Of a Free
Auto, model 1916 Ford Touring car, to
be given away on the grounds on Fri
day. September 10th. At the gates
the fair will give away a ticket to the
purchaser of every tenth admission
ticket sold for soc, on Tuesday, Wed.
nesday and Thursday. On the grounds
all the time on the carnival Midway we
will sell souvenirs and give away a
ticket with each one sold. Numbers
of merchants throughout the county
will give these tickets with cash pur-
chases made at their stores. This is a
great advertising idea and Is being
promoted by L. S. Hogan of the Cliff
ton-Kelly Shows. The giving of the
auto will be in the hands Of a commit
tee of Brookings county citizens living
outside Of Brookings city. A. T. Hor-
ton, publisher of the Volga Tribune,
has consented to act as chairman Of
that committee. 1t is bound to be alb
solutely fair and honest.
The great auto parade will draw out
the biggest array Of autos ever seen to-
gether in the state. Full details are
published in the fair adv. in this
