CODY ILLUMINES FADING ROMANCE
 OF THE BORDER
Wild West Shows Early Amer ican Events Now Gone Into History.

$ f.H z < That strange, mysterious, and, yet l picturesque land, known in song and f story as the Border. has passed away. l The Unknown Land-the land of the wild Indian, the trapper, the old l scout, the border bandit-has disap- 1 peared before the stride of civilization. | The Conestoga wagon and the OK l teams have given way to, the freight I trains of the romance-destroying rail- l road, and thee six mule driver of the l Deadwood stage coach has become the
 conductor of the Limited Mail. That great stretch of country lying between 1 the last settlements of the Middle West and the Pacific Slope, where the i Indian once roamed unfettered by the limits of a reservation, and where even the white hunter felt the thrill of 1so-
 lation and the wild, las become tho I abode of the restless, tireless, never
 satisfied white man. Practically all
 that is left of the Wild west is con- tained on the few remaining reserva- lions and the bonanza cattle ranges.
 The romance of the red man" is ilargely a matter of tradition. Even l the cowboy now reads the daily papers
 and dreams of spending his winters in New York. M Nevertheless, the story of the Pass l ing of Berderland will never lose its interest, and it is the mission of enter
 prises like the Buffalo Till-101 Ranch Shows, which exhibits in Bridgeport, Tuesday, July. IS, to keep alive the his- htoric traditions of the Old West; to | tell, lest the careless world forget, the story Of the bravery, the intrepidity and the sufferings of the pioneers; to depict the Indian as he really was be- fore he became contaminated by civ ilization; we picture the trackless
 plains, with their rowing herds of buf- faloes and wild horses; to revive the glorfes of the cowboy and the cowgirl l of the old days, as we'll as to present the ranch people of the present, with all their expert cleverness in riding,
 roping and shooting, with their still inherent love of adventure, which neither time nor advancing population can kill, and the picturesqueness of life that can never fully depart until the last scow-puncher has passed away.
 E To preserve something of the charm land color and romance of the old days ! on the Border-w hile eliminating tho horrors that too often stained the pages of l frontier hfstory-was the avowed purpose of the organizers of | the Buffalo Bill (himself} -101 Ranch, Shove. How well they have succeeded is evidenced by the fact that it is rec ognized today as the only exhibition of it's kind worthy of the name. The great military spectacle '"Prepared-
 ness, is also a feature that stamps
 the show as being thoroughly up-to-
 date It is interesting to note that
 BuHalo Bill is announced to appeal 5
 in the saddle both in the spectacle and a
 in the revival of the old days on the
 Borderland There will be two per-
 formances in this city July IS preceded by big military and frontier parade. d

New York, July 6.-So bitter are the lProgressives in the Middle West over the outcome of their national conven- tipn and the later action of the Pro ] gressive national committee indorsing
 Mir. Hughes, that the suggestion has
 bee4 seriously made that the conven- tion' be called to meet again, while

 the Bull Moose organization is fairly

 clearly that he was of one mind with
 those who are complaining, while his
 speech at the Press club dinner last
 Saturday was regarded as forecasting
 his intention to support President Wilson. | Indiana Demands Reoonvening. 1 Mr.A Colby made public yesterday a telegram he received from B. M. Lee. l Progressive state committeeman of

You know 1t! Juno was the coldest and the wettest for many years and the mean temperature throughout was not better than GA degrees Be- sides this there has been an accumu- lated deficiency in heat since January 1. of just 120S degrees which would have helped some if they had been thrown into June just for good meas ure.
 Cooperative Meteorological Obser- yer William Jennings of this city, in his monthly report to the United States weather bureau. shows that out of 30 days in June, 20 days were ov- ercast and rainy with only 10 days that might be termed clear. The to- tal rainfall was Al inches. The greatest amount fell June IT during a heavy rainfall when the instruments recorded 1.17 inches. During the full month 1.35 inches more rain fell than is normal. The only oddity not noticed by the observer in his report that might have happened was a se- were snowfall.
 The thermometer record shows a maximum of S5 degrees on June 28 with a minimum of 47 degrees on June 3. The greatest fluctuation in the mercuric column was on June 2S when 1t ranged 35 degrees between high and low. The least daily range was three degrees, recorded June 8. These figures compared give a mean of GA degrees for the month which is three degrees lower than the normal for June. Thunderstorms were noted on June 5, IF and 19.
 Altogether this year has been a cold and wet one with a special defi- ciency in heat since January 1. The records seem to indicate that each summer is becoming slightly colder than the preceding one.
