cereal products of the state. The handsome -
some Kensington was completely covered
with the catchy combination of cereal
flowers. The occupants were gowned in
white , and carried white parasols that were
also trimmed with the corn flower mail oats.
Miss Elizabeth Allen's tastefully decorated

of the rehiclo were burled beneath n wealth
j of yellow chrysanthemums , the effect of

gowns of the fair young women 1n the car-

the former. Their Central Park trap was
covered with a fine array of red and white
roses. In addition to the fine floral display -
play made by the variegated roses there was
an abundance of green grasses gracefully
entwined about the spokes of the wheels ,
completing the pretty picture in n very
effective manner. The horse and white

Flower parade , as one of the horses jumped
over the pole of the carriage and nearly
caused a runaway. The equlpago was a most
elaborate one and was decorated in Louis % V
style throughout. Crushed poppies of pink

to adorn the fine double team and a beautiful
effect was produced. In the carriage were
Mesdames T , ML Orr , Charles E , Squires and
0. S. Iloffman ,
Mrs. Howard H Raldrige made an immense -
mense hit with the only tandem team in the
procession and the rtwnrd of second prize to

The elaborate turnout of Mr. and Mrs , S.
A. McWhorter was a little late , but it got
there just the same. It was one of the most
notable equlpages In the procession. A
largo double carriage was transformed into
a bed of pretty tea roses of the lightest
shades of cream. A wealth of natural rose
follago was used with good effect to supplement -
ment the roses. Scarlet ribbons were seen
in streamers about the carriage and in the
harness. Mr. lfclVhorter handled the reins
himself and with him were Mrs. McWhorter
and pretty , little Miss Moore , Little Gardner -
ner McWhorter wore a suit of white and hls

Miss Guckert and Miss Sharpe appeared in
the next equlpago and attracted much In-
vornblu notice , A swell Stanhopo rig was
out of sight beneath a multitudinous collec
tion of burnt orange chrysanthemums , The

occupants wore dresses of white with white
hats.
% Veleotne for i'ony Carts ,
Miss Eugenia Morand drove the first pony

The cart was gay with tell poppies , will oats
and other grasses ,
Mss Nellie Bennett drove a high trap with

R' . iVoodward , A well livened coachman
occupied the rumble of the trap. The dec.
orations combined three various shades of
violet , lavender predominating. Chrysan

good effect.
One of the swell turnouts in the procession
was the eabriolot of Mr. and Mrs , Rob.
ert Franklin Sniith , drawn by a pair of bay
horses. The carriage was decorated with
La Franco roses. Garlands of smilax added
greatly to the effect. ll'ith Mr , and Mrs.

effect. Fred Nash and Fred Hamilton accompanied -
companied the turn-out as outriders.
Mrs. A. J. Love , Mrs. Kate Dewey Squire ,
Mrs. Charles Offutt and Miss Georgia Lind-
sey rode In Mrs. Lore's handsome equipage ,
which was simply , but very , effectively , dec-
orated. The flowers were morning glories of
every conceivable color and their variegated
tints were relieved by trimmings of broad
sathi ribbons of white and yellow. The whip
was trimmed to represent a shrub entwined
with morning glories and green trimmings
of asparagus completed the design.
One of the prettiest designs In pure white
was that of the phaeton of Miss Alice An-
dreesen. The vehicle was solidly banked
with huge white roses arranged in unique and
attractive designs and not a glimpse of any
other color was visible. The horse was as
white as possibio and even the harness and
the spokes of the wheels were concealed under -
der a covering of white , Rosettes and festoons -
teens of white satin ribbon completed the
effect. Miss Andreesen was accompanied by
Miss Marina McDonald of St. Joseph.
The decoration of the Noyes carriage was
a pretty combination of Ak-Sar-Ben colors ,
The main feature consisted of red and yellow -
low poppies and the effect was emphasized
by shades of deep green , The design included -
cluded trimmings of yellow satin ribbons ,
which harmonized perfectly with the floral
decorations. The carriage was occupied by
Mrs. A. H. Noyes and Misses Elsie and Vera
Noyes.
Mrs. A. D. Brandeis drove one of the most
elaborately' decorated vehicles in the parade.
A butterfly design was worked out with exceptional -
ceptional perfection of detail and the flowers
were merely an Incident to the main design.
The carriage carried Mrs. Brandeis , Mrs. H.
Freedman , Mrs. E. Fisher and Mrs , J. Marcus -
cus of Chicago ,
Miss Jura Kelly drove a trap which was
arrayed in a beautiful decoration of La
France roses and pink tarheton. The decoration -
tion displayed a peculiarly effective color

taste. Miss Kelly was accompanied by her
guests , the Misses Grace and Marlan San-
bourn of St. Paul ,
flak ned Lavender ,
Mrs. M. C. Peters and Miss Peters rode in
a spider phaeton decorated with pink roses
and lavender chrysanthemums. The design
afforded a notable opportunity for delicate
effects in shading , and it was improved with
reinarltable success.
fellow and black were the prevailing
colors in the very pretty' decoration of Mrs.
Charles E. Ford's carriage , The glossy
black of the vehicle was allowed to be
visible in part and It afforded an effective
background for the added design In yellow
roses and ribbons , Mrs. Ford was accom
panled by Mrs , Will Gyger of Philadelphia
and Mrs. Will Wyatt.
Miss Jessie Dickinson and Miss Mao
Mount drove a very striking turnout in
burnt orange and yellow , The effect was
produced by an artistically contrived design
In chrysanthemums and yellow ribbons ,
The parasols , which were decorated in bar ,
mony with the main design , added materially -
terially to its effect ,
The pony trap driven by Master Julius
binurer was decorated with pink , wbito and
yellow roses with decided success. The
other occupants were Missee Daisy and
Anna and Eddie and Rudolph Maurer.
The Webster trap presented a particularly
imposing appearance. It was tastefully
decorated with white chrysanthemums over
an outline of stnllax and was drawn by a
Pair of whllo horses that were also decorated -
rated with the same flowers , A. V. Foster of
Evanston , Ill „ and Lewis D. Reed were the
outriders , Fred Empke of Council Bluffs
held the reins and Miss Nellie Law of
Henry , III. , Miss Nellie Moore of Council

and Mlss Flora Webster occupied the trap.
Misses Alice Parker , Ethel 1Vllcox , Cecil
Parker and Itarrlett March redo la Miss
Parker's pretty double carriage , which was
profusely decorated with poppies. Black and
yellow were the colors and these were
gracefully combined In a very striking and
artistic design.
The carriage driven by John N. Baldwin
of Council Bluffs , which was awarded the
third prize , was strikingly arrayed in three
shades of large red poppies. The dlmcult
task of working out a really tasteful del -
l sign with such gorgeous materials was very
successfully accomplished. The carriage
was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. John N.
Baldwin , Miss Genevieve Baldwin and Miss
Elinor Stewart.
First Prize Turnout ,
The beautiful victorla'which won the ills-
tinction of being adjudged the most artistically -
tistically decorated equipage in the parade
w'as occupied by Mrs , J. H. Evans and Miss i
Amy Darker. The decorations were designed
by Mrs , Martin Meyer and were especially
delicate and original. The carriage was
banked with heliotrope and white chrysanthemums -
santhemums which were arranged in a very
fetching design of Van 19yke points. The
wheels were decorated In a similar manner
and the horses wore purple pampas plumes
and rosettes of the colors that formed the
main design. The coachman was attired in
black satin.
Miss Anna Shiverick contributed one of
the most artistic equipoges in the parade.
Her carriage was upholstered in white on
which the lattice work of smilax produced
a remarkably pretty effect. The design was
very delicately shaded with the borders of
pink chrysanthemums ,
Mrs. J. M. Metcalf , with Mrs. A. P. Met-
calf of Lincoln. redo in a handsome carriage -
riage of shaded pink hollyhocks and foliage ,
This was a simple but very beautiful design ,
the combinations of the various tints of the
flowers being particularly effective.

sign of lavender and royal purple chty-
santhemums. They were gowned in pure
white with lavender hats and parasols. Roh-
ert Patrick and Captain Will Cowin were
their outriders ,
Mrs. C , W. McGeath's pony cart was a
very pretty effect in , which white and pink

tistically combined. The cart was occupied
by Mrs , McGeath , Miss Frances Tibbetta
and Miss Julia Coo and Master W'lndsor
Mcaeath in white livery acted as footman ,
Miss Leo Brown , also attired in white , accompanied -
companied the turnout as outrider.
Mrs. C. J , Barber and Mss Alice Barber
contributed another very attractive decora-
lion of chrysanthemums. Lavender was the
prevailing color of the flowers , and these
made a very pretty contrast to the white
satin ribbons which were lavishly twined
among thin blossoms.
The last equlpage in the parade was Jack
Cudahy's trap , which was driven by Miss
Lynn Curtis and Miss Daisy Doane , The
entire design was pure while except the
minimum of color afforded by the black
livery of the coachman , White roses farmed
the entire design , and they completely covered -
ered every outline of the vehicle. The
horses were almost as while as the roses
and the harness was also decorated with
the same ,

One of the interesting features at the Indian -
dian congress at the exposition is the issuance -
suanco of rations to the 450 Indians who are
congregated within the enclosure. Along
the north side of the tract are located the
omcers' quarters and storehouses , one of the
latter being used as a store from which f re
issued all of the rations , The same course
of issuing Is pursued as at the respective
agencies. On the list kept at the store is
the name of every head of a family represented -
sented , and the number of persons 1n each
family. Each family head is given a card
designating who he is and how many are
depending upon him for the necessaries of
life ,
in order that there may not be a greater
rush of business en one day more than en-
other , the Indians are divided into ration
parties , and to each party is given rations
sufficient to last for the period of five days ,
Thus , one party comes 1n today , another tomorrow -
morrow and so on until the end of five days ,
when all have been supplied and the first
party is duo to report again ,
Sometimes one man will draw rations for
half a dozen families , but as a rule each
head prefers to draw for his family and no
other , They sit around the store , smoking
and telling stories , touch after the style
that will ho observed at any , country cross
road , After one Indian is wailed upon , another -
other drops into his place , presents his
card , and the food to which lie is entitled
is weighed or measured and dropped Into a
sack , after which lie hurries back to his
camp. Thu store opens at about 7 o'clock in
the morning , and continues to do business
until the last Indian is supplied ,
The following rations are allowed each
person per day ; One loaf of bread and
14 2.6 ounces of flour , 1' ; pounds of beef ,
4 8.10 ounces of coffee , 16.100 ounces of tea ,
192.100 ounces of sugar , 112-100 ounces of
beans , 64.100 ounces of hontlny , 192.100
ounces of dried fruit , 1.100 gallons of syrup ,
1.100 quart of vinegar , 64.100 ounces of salt ,
4.100 ounces of pepper , 1G-100 ounces of
baking powder , 04.100 ounces of lard , 164-100
ounces of soap , 9 60.100 ounces of potatoes ,
2 40.100 ounces of onions and 00.100 ounces
of rice ,
Experience taught Captain Mercer that the
amount of rations heretofore named would
not be sufficient to appease the hunger of
( lie Indians , especially as they were working -
ing , dancing or playing games a greater
portion of the time , so lie ordered that one-
third more of everything except soap be
added ,
The Indians are not burdened with a large
supply of cupboards and cooking utensils , so
consequently the matter of caring for their
supply of food that is left over after each
meal is simple. instead of having the cans ,
jars and crocks that nro possessed by the
American housewife , pier have simply one
large sack which contains everything in the
cooking line except the lard , vinegar and
the syrup. These articles are put in cans
or bottles and placed on one side of the
tcpec.
The beef is issued fresh and consequently
during this hot weather It has to be cured
ht order to keep it from one meal until the
next. In curing meats the Indian squaw is
an expert. After her husband returns from
the store she lakoa possession of the meat
at once and begins operations upon it with a
sharp knife. Il is cut into strips perhaps
half an inch thick and as long and tilde as
the piece will permit , These pieces are
pierced with a sharp stick and hung from a
tree , a pole or the roof of the tepee to dry ,
great care being taken to put them above the

camp are even more numerous than the In-
dines themselves. After being lung out in
the hot sun the odor of the fresh meat attracts -
tracts numerous flies , but that doesn't count ,
They gather In swarms and deposit their
eggs , but before tine hatching period arrives - I
rives , the meat has dried ned is hard as a
bone ,
R'hlie thin Indian is not a graduate of any
cooking school , he , or rather she , puts up a
meal that is as palatable to an Indian as
tbouglt it had been cooked and served in the
most fashdonablo French restaurant in the
land , though it is not usually relished by the
white man , especially the one who is
troubled with dyspepsia or has a weak stom-
ach.
ach.They
They are great on mixed dishes and as a
result the meat , the liouiny , the rice mul
beans all go into one kettle. There it boils
and simmers mitil it is one mass about as
thick as gruel , after which it is ready to
serve. This is seasoned to suit the taste
and then dished out into tin vessels and
thickened with bread and eaten with spoons.
If it is not all eaten at one meal it 1s warmed
up for ( lie next and warmed again until it
is disposed of.
Indians all Iiko coffee and they make good
coffee , too. It is black and strong , but the
cooks know Just how to boil out the flavor ,
They drink ( t boiling hot and as much as
they can hold.
Like the white man , the Indian eats three
meals a day , when he can get tltetn , but if
ho is forced to a starvation diet , he can go
from six to eight day's without eating. In
order to do this lie draws Lila belt a little
tighter each day and continues his fast until
lie dies of hunger , or until lie finds something -
thing to appease the cravings of his stomach ,
As to the sleeping , tliolndlan , pursues the
same customs as his white brother. Ho
goes to bed early and sleeps late , providing
he has no work to do ( lint calls hdm out in
thin morning , however , if he has employment -
ment or business matters that demand his
attention , ho is up before the sun and continues -
tinues until ho has completed his tusk.
