    IOWA'S INTERSTATE FAIR.
Be Bigger and Better This Yea *
Good Kaoes Fine Exhibits.
Never in the history of all the Corn
3alace3 , carnivals , and fairs given In
Sioux City has anything on so colossal
A scale as that of the great Interstate
IFair of 1906 been attempted. The
IPalr which this year will be given
aSept. 10 to 15 at the beautiful Wood
land Park , Riverside , Sioux City , by
ifche Interstate Live Stock Fair Asso
ciation -will be bigger than ever In
very way than In previous years. The
IPair Association has taken the profits
of former years and placed them in
betterments. Twenty additional acres
-of ground lying between th.e park and
the Big Sioux River have been partial-
fly cleared of trees and this space will
fee utilized in making room for farm
machinery and like exhibits. New
cattle barns and horse barns and pens
or swine have been built this sum
mer , and in few places of the country
will the housing accommodations of
iflne stock on exhibition be * tter than
iat "Woodland.
While wonderful success in the
dumber and quality of fine cattle ,
Worses , sheep and hogs has crowned
rthe efforts of the association in pre
vious years , never before were so
cnany head of princely stock entered
. at this time for exhibition. Of course ,
-from the very name it bears , the In
terstate Live Stock Fair Association
'makes the exhibition of stock in the
heart of this great stock raising re-
jgion its crowning feature , neverthe-
fless , while the stock on exhibition at
he Interstate Fair will compare most
favorably with that of the exclusive
'International show of Chicago , and
.American Royal in Kansas City , still ,
sas a race meeting the fair of 1906
could stand alone.
For the harness events 240 animals
will compete for purses aggregating
{ $16,000. Already 175 running horses
Siave been entered for the jumping
events. From the horseman's point of
ivlew , the star attraction of the week
will be the wonderful speed exhibi
tion of the world's champions , Dan
Patch , 1:55 % , and Crcsceus , 2:02 % ,
respectively the king of pacers and
the king of trotters , which will take
place Wednesday , the 12th. Dan
JPatch , alone , last year , at the Minne-
Isota state fair , drew a crowd of 103-
' 000 people. This is the first time in
ithe history of race tracks when the
beings of the two speeds have been
faeen upon a track at one time , and
tthe horsemen regard It as the great-
'est and most thrilling sight in horse
* "
Ihistory.
Among other races will be the cowboy -
[ boy relay race which will be run in
sections of five miles each day with a
-change of horses each mile.
. The Western Brew Derby for a dis-
r ance of one and one-sixteenth miles ,
{ which is one of the society events of
Ithe year in Sioux City , will be run on
[ Wednesday.
1 In front of the grand stand will be
imore free attractions than ever before.
[ The association has contracted at
/srreat expense for the twelve Nelsons ,
JBice and Elmer , The Buckeye Trio ,
SLIsette's Whirl of Death , Martlnette
. & Sylvester , and the thrilling spectacle
lot. Leaping the Volcanic Gap. This
jconstitutes In reality a circus in Itself.
I At night the great fireworks spec-
ttacle "Moscow , " which gives a graphic
( picture of the destruction of the Rus
sian city , will be produced. At every
flight performance of "Moscow" three
hundred people will take part and
2$2,000 worth of fireworks will be
consumed.
Sioux City is making preparations
vto take care of the great crowds of
{ people which will be visitors within
< the gates during the festal week. Ar-
jrangements have been made with all
railroad companies for reduced rates
jof fare and for special excursions.
[ Particulars as to the points from
rwhich the trains will be run and the
days upon which they will run , will be

HEROES OF THE SIXTIES IN REUNION AT MINNEAPOLIS.
CIVIL WAR HEROES.
Annual Encampment of the G. A.
R. nt Minneapolis.
For the fortieth time since its work
was flnishf-il and its glory won , the G.
A. R. was in line Wednesday at Minne
apolis. There have
been many parades
more gorgeous ,
many s p e c t a cles
more dazzling and
bewildering , but
never has there been
iu this country one
more appealing and
impressive than
that which passed
through the streets
N-it. of Minneapolis dur
ing the greater part of the forenoon.
The parade was a notable affair an
such things go , well handied , quick
moving and inspiring to look upon. It
was a day of pride for the old soldiers
, ! ii themselves and for the multitude in
the soldiers.
Over the heads of the veterans as
they marched along countless" flags
snapped in the breeze and their lines
passed between buildings gorgeously
decorated in their honor. The plaudits
of the crowd were In their ears , the
consciousness of glory , won by valor ,
svas in their hearts and they bore with *
them the knowledge of the world's ap
proval for work most nobly done , in a
most righteous cause. And yet it was
a parade of pathos as well as a march
of pride.
At the head of the column was a platoon
teen of mounted police , the line filling
the street from curb to curb , and ef
fectually sweeping away any pedestri
ans and vehicles that escaped the vigi
lant eyes of members of national guard
and policemen who were , stationed
along the line of march. Directly be
hind the police and at the head of the
parade proper came a band from Den-
rer , its showy zouave uniforms mak
ing a splendid appearance. The twen
ty-two young women who form a drill
2orps and are a portion of the organi
sation were especial favocites with the
multitude and were given a continuous
ovation during the parade.
Next came the chief marshal of the
parade , ex-Governor S. R. Van Sant ,
ind his chief of staff , General Fred B.
tVood , adjutant general of Minnesota ,
ivho was followed by a throng of ofii-
: ers composing the regimental staff of-
Scers of the Minnesota national guard.
fhis comprised the entire escort of the
Srand Army.
Then , marching splendidly , came the
3rst of the old soldiers , Columbia post
) f Chicago , acting as the personal escort
cert of the commander in chief. This
> rganization has made a record at
nany previous encampments , and it is
considered one of the best drilled and
jandsomest posts in the Grand Army.
ts showy uniform of dark olive green
ind its splendid marching called for
remendous applause. Behind thepost _

lerbly mounted and attended by his

FIND STOLEN GEMS IN SALVAGE.
St. Lionls "World's Pair laborer Ua-
covers Jewels
Acting under instructions cabled from
England , John P. O'Brien , a laborer em
ployed in the wrecking of the world's , fair
buildings at St. Louis , has unearthed an
alligator bag containing jewels valued at
$50,000 , which were stolen from Mr. and
Mrs. P. Henry Clayton of Devonshire ,
England , during a visit to the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition two years ago.
The jewels were stolen from a trunk
and they were not missed until the Clay
tons had returned to England after a tour
around the world. They then had no
means of knowing where the jewels had
been stolen. About a month ago a Hin
dee servant who had been in their em
ploy during their trip was fatally injured
by an elephant in India and on his death ?
bed confessed that he stole the jewels
while in St. Louis. He said that he be
came alarmed and , fearing detection , had
dropped them into a hole in the wall of
the Manufacturers' building. Later ha
again wished to secure the gems , but on
returning to the place he had secreted
them could not reach the bottom of the
space between the plaster and the side
of the building. Fearing to make any
inquiries or ask assistance , the Hindoo
departed from St. Louis with the Clay
tons , leaving the jewels in their hiding
place.
O'Brien was generously rewarded and
was also employed by Mr. Clayton as hia
personal attendant.
HISTORY IS 1,000 YEARS OLDER.
Prof. James II. Breasted Tells o
XCTV Discovery In Xlle Valley.
One thousand years has been added to
the authentic history of the world by
Prof. James H. Breasted of the Uni
versity of Chicago , who has just returned
from an expedition to the Upper Nile.
The professor and his associates dis
covered that the calendar was begun in
4241 B. G. and an elaborate article in tha
current issue of the Biblical World tells
all about it.
In the period from 140-141 to 143-144
A. D. the calendar coincided with tha
seasons and the rising of the Sosthis took
place on the first day of the calendar
year. An entire revolution was completed
at that time.
"That revolution must have begun 1,460
years earlier that is , in 1320 B. C. , " saya
Prof. Breasted. "The next earlier revolu
tion must have begun in 2780 B. C.
that is : at about the beginning of the
age at which we are first able to observa
contemporary indications of the shift.
"This carries us 1,460 years back of
their coincidence in the old 'kingdom
that is , the calendar was introduced in tha
middle of the forty-third century B. C.
(4241 B. C. ) . This is the oldest fixed
date in history. "
Prof. Gregory of the Tale geological
department says the San Francisco earth
quake will be repeated with universal dis
astrous results.
