AS has been announced and looked
forward to by all the Riddles" and
lots of grown folks, the circus arrived
in Bryan this morning. On account OF
the long jump from Galveston. the
trains were a little late in arriving.
There were many people on the circus
grounds early this morning to see the
unloading, but were doomed to disap-
pointment, as the first train did not
arrive until after o'clock. The late.
ness of the arrival OF the trains conse.
quently caused the parade to be about
two hours late, but 1t finally appeared
and was enjoyed by ALL
The idea that the Sells-Floto show
is a small affair was dispelled from
the minds of every one attending the
performance today. Their show is al.
most equal In size to that OF Ringing
Brothers or Sells-Forepaugh. 1t re.
quires three trains of 20 cars each to
carry the equipment and performers.
The big attraction with this show is
the famous worlds champion prize
fighter, Jess Willard, and he is a great
drawing card.
The other main attraction, Frank
Gotch. the worlds champion wrestler,
who has been with the circus up until
four weeks ago, was not with the
show In Bryan owing to the fact that
his leg was broken in an exhibition in
california four weeks ago In his
stead Yousof Hussane appeared. who

and started for camp with some Of
them, and the Indian police in their
uniforms Of olive green came on the
scene to restore peace and order. They
captured some of the punchers, but
many were roped by the cowmen and
dragged away. One we'll known, gall
Ian policeman, Jim All Yellow, was
hopelessly tied down after beating a
willing cowboy into insensibility-the
acting was good-but twenty policemen
came to his rescue and carried him to
safety before the cheering crowd in
the grandstand and along the race
track. Taking it all in all the fair was
the most complete in every way, the
most hilarious uproarious conglomera-
ton Of real western frolics ever held
in these parts. And owing to the for
tunate exclusion of Intoxicating liquor
on the reservation the crowd was a
safe and sane one, and it may be
deduced from what has been said be-
fore, that when the long cold nights Of
winter have come the spectators and
participants Of the fair will be still
talking about it.

I Known Firm

To the left Of the pulpit is a small
alcove, separated from the chapel
proper by a curtain, in which rela-
tives may sit, screened from the rest
of the mourners, yet close to the
pulpit, and their dead.
Connected with this alcove is the
slumber room, where bodies may lie
in state, or preceding funeral services
in the chapel. AS is the case with the
other rooms, this room is handsomely
appointed and draped, a velvet uphol-
stored bier being provided.
The show room, which provides
space for fifty caskets, Is reached by a
hallway leading from the main hall
and the office. Each casket is placed
on a folding rack, and after being dis
played can be folded back against the
wall.
The equipment in the show room is
the last word in convenience. The
room is provided with special lighting
fixtures.

every appliance known to the under

The walls and floors in these two
rooms are finished in white enamel
and tile, embodying every known die

One feature, seldom, II ever, found
in establishments of this kind, is a
beautifully equipped bed chamber for
out of town people, or others. who

Rooms Of this kind are maintained
in undertaking establishments in
some of the larger cities Of the east,
the idea being one that is more than
once appreciated.

Just word for the owners. Both
N. o. Gard and E. F. Moore, who
compose the firm. are experts in their
line.
The firm, which now bears the name
of Gard & Moore. is one Of the oldest
in the city. and probably in the north
west. 1t was founded more than thirty
years ago by the late ]. N. Gard,
father Of N. o. Gard. Shortly before
Mr.. Cards death in 1918, the son was
taken into partnership, the firm be-
coming ]. N. Gard & Son.
Following Mr.. Cards death, E. F.
Moore, then northwest sales manager
of the National Casket company, the
largest firm of it's kind in the world,
became affiliated with N. o. Gard in
the business, bringing the experience
Of twenty-five years, and helping to
put into operation methods of business
which have served to bring the firm
into it's present measure of popularity.

Fort Yates, N. D., Sept. 2S.-The
fifth annual Standing Rock Sioux
Indian fair has just been concluded
For three days the exuberant spirits
OF this reservation reveIled in a joyous
debauch of interesting and exciting
western games and sports. Fully 1000
Indians and whites were in attend
ance and the weather behaved beauti-
fully throughout. With the co-opera-
tion of Supt. c. G. Covey and some Of
his employees, the fair officials, of
whom Capt. Thomas Frosted (White
Bear) is president, and the "oP wah
hoss' Benjamin White Is secretary,
were enabled to pull off successfully
the best fair ever. There was plenty
OF entertainment to suit the tastes of
everybody, and the educational fea-
lures were as well presented as one
may find at any fair. The exhibition
hall and stock stables contained a
splendid display of farm and ranch
products, and the school exhibits of
the work OF Indian pupils, and the
fancy work and culinary departments
showed to what extent the Sioux
have progressed in the arts Of civiliza-
tion, and the results would be credit
able to any class Of people. A baby
show, too, was held for the first time
and liberal prizes offered.
The Sioux camp, was pitched in a
vast circle around the fair grounds
and as the shades OF night deepened
the many tents were lit up by the
camp fires and from the midst of the
camp came the throbbing, thrilling and
rhythmic notes of the tom-tom and the
drooning chants of the Indian dancers
They were not allowed to hold their
dance during the day or for exhibition
purposes, SO until midnight they en-
joyed themselves in the way theil
fathers have since time immemorial
The costumes worn were gorgeous In
picturesque design and coloring, ant
by the mellow light Of the lanterns
hung here and there the figures tool
on mysterious and fantastic form re.
