Over 200 members of the Nebraska Stati
Pharmaceutical association , with theli
families and frlenda enjoyed a holiday 01
the exposition grounds yesterday. Whili
they formed only a small proportion of thi
crowd , they were everywhere In evldenci
and their extended program of snorts tha
was Dulled off on the Plaza In the after
noon was thoroughly enjoyed not only bj
themselves , but by a large crowd of genera
visitors , who were hugely Interested In thi
novel features that were Included. Thi
Fraternal Union of America was to havi
had Its exposition outing yesterday , but thi
affair was abandoned , and those member :
of the order who were on the grounds pu
In the day like any other visitors , am
their attendance- was not signalized by anj
special feature. Aside from the schedule )
attractions of the day there was the In
tercet that always attaches to a big crowc
and delightful weather.
Records have demonstrated that asldi
from tha special crowds that are ottracte
by features of sartlcular note Thursday ii
the best day of the week in point of cen
era ! attendance. Most of the peoole whi
came In during the first of the week stl !
remain and on that day there is usually i
considerable Influx of visitors who conv
about the middle of the week Intending ti
remain until Its close. The combination o
these elements with the recular quota o
visitors from adjacent towns who com
merely for n day or two and return lateen
on usually Insures a coed Thursday crowd
Irrespective of the attractions that ar
scheduled. Yesterday was no exception
and. although noneof the celebrations wer
of the sort calculated to Induce a larg
general attendance , the crowd reached mor
than ordinary proportions. This was espn
clally true In the ovptilng , when the 25
cent rate produced Us usual effect of mul
tinlylng the arrivals after 6 o'clock
Julilli-f Features.
The production of Irare Klralfy's bli
spectacular show , illustrating the naval bat
ties of the recent war. Is now conslderei
assured. After the contract had boon sup
posed to bo closed Mr. Klralfy wired tha
he would have to bo given a $15.000 guarantee
anteo or else he would go back to Europ
the next day. Ho was promptly informei
that tha executive committee would na
stand for any guarantee whatever , but h
evidently reconsidered his European trlr
for yesterday ho wired President Wattle
that be would come west at onca to con
elude arrangements.
The Idea of having the special commute
now In the east cull on ex-Presidents liar
rtson and Cleveland to Invite them to at
tend the Jubilee has been reconsidered , an
President Wattles has been authorized t
designate another committee for this par
tlcular purpose. It la understood that Di
George L. Miller will head this committee
and the remolding members will bo ap
pointed as noon as President Wattles cu
consult with Dr. Miller. This commute
will probably leave for the east early nex
week.
The biggest card of attractions that ha
yet been announced for a single day Is ex
pected to make today the big day of th
week. Tbo Woodmen of the World wll
havea big celebration on the ground
that tliev insist will be attended by 10,00
members of the order , and the lumbcrme
will also draw a big crowd. The log roll
Ing contest on the lagoon will be one c
the most interesting features of tha show
and It is not without an clement of ex
cltement that will catch the crowd. Coio
ratio day will bring an extenslvo re pro
seutatlon from the Centennial state. Th
free distribution of melons by the Rock
Ford people will also occur , anQ there ar
enough melons on hand to fill -OO.OUO pea
pie.

M ube arrived on one of thi
har ? > . ' of Pedro J. Daca , thi
doubt the nun
grounds and an
rapidly btcoffll Khe drawing card. The ;
ate not so largT as the Slous and othe ;
northern Indians , but they are much dtf
ferent In every respect. Instead of havini
the swarthy features of the Indians of th <
north , they are more on the classic order
lighter in color , more sociable and anxiou :
to learn the ways of tbe whites. While the ;
arc Indians , they believe that they are tin
remnants of an almost extinct race tba
once Inhabited this entire country and wa
highly civilized and educated In the art
and sciences. With them they havu brough
largo quantities of pottery , some of whlcl
they contend was made centuries ago.
Among the Pueblos who arrived yesterda ;
i are some noted men of the race. There li
Diego Navanjo , the governor of the nation
Pedro J. Bacn , lieutenant governor ; Jose di
Jesus Haraljo and Daloses Haranjo , heai
men , who have both held down the guber
natorlal chair , and Jose Guadalupe Haranjo
the sheriff. These men comprise the execu
tlve and the judicial departments , as wcl
as the legislative. The system of election
Is simple , the men men who have passed th' '
i gubernatorial chnlr having the power ti
elect the governor , who In turn appoints th
other officers. The present governor I
serving his second term of office. The tort ]
I Is one year and all of the- officers step dowi
and out when the chief executive leaves hi
! spat. The head men , or those who hnv
I bren governors are the advisers of the gov
t ernor and assist him In making the law
i that govern the tribe.
I The present governor is a small mac
bright and quick in speech and is a goo <
conversationalist In Spanish. He under
stands the English language , but canno
speak It. While the laws of the tribe ur
sacred , they are not so much so as a can
that is regarded as a portion of the propert
that goes with the office. This cane Is a
ebony stick with a large silver head , upo
which Is Inscribed , "Lincoln. President c
the United States , to Santa Clara , 1S63. "
The cane was a present from Preslden
Lincoln to Santa Clara , who at that tim
i was the governor of the Pueblos. By hir
I It was handed down to hia successor and ha
| since been turned over by ono governor t
i another. U Is priceless and Is carefuil
guarded day and night and is seldom out e
thu custody of the man who is charged wit
Us safe keeping.Vhon not being exhiblta <
it Is kept In a buckskin sheath and is neve
out of sight of the custodian.
The Pueblos who are upon the Indlai
congress grounds are not the Cliff Dwellers
though they say that they are descendant
of that race. Centuries ago they left the !
abodes In the mountains and became tiller
of thu soil. Those who are here are al
farmers residing some nfty miles froti
, Santa Fe , In one of the rich valleys , when
| they ralso grain , fruits of all kinds am
sheep and goats. Like their forefather
; before them , they irrigate the land nni
i say that they have done so for years , con
tending that they were the original partie
who hit upon the plan of turning stream
from their beds and causing the water t
Uow over the fields.
The Pueblos have their own peculla
I dances , but little of the war dances of th
other tribes of Indians. They have beei
at oeace with the world for unknown agea
and have forgot the arts of war. Llk' '
other Ind'ana. ' however , they dress in fane ;
colors and ore as partial to beads and rei
blankets as the Sioux. For a few days the ;
will live in the building intended for ,
Jail , as they have no other place to stay
not having brought along their houses
They would have brought them could the ;
have done so. Instead of living in tenta
when at home , they Inhabit houses buil
of sundrlcd brick. As soon as tbev ge
around to it , they will construct such i
bouse on the Congress grounds.
Yesterday afternoon the Pueblos calloi
on the other Indians and expressed muc !
surprise at seeing so many different races
Speaking a dltferont language , they wer
unable to carry on a conversation , exc-pp
through Interpreters , which made the visit
t
very unsatisfactory , as the interpreting hai
to be run through s > o many dialects.

Tbe flan of attack has practlcaUy bee

bo made Into the camp of tbe enemy , tb

something of the kind. They will meet th

a number of men and ponies. Tbe me

will renew tbe attack.

on to say. "you have discharged the weighty
and delicate duties of ambassador with such
eminent tact , Judgmen * and courtesy as to
win the cordial appreciation and confldenct
of the British people. "
Continuing the address says :

Sir. Bryce. during the course of the re
marks which he in.me upon the occasion
' dwelt upon the "admiration for the splendli
' gifts and boundless energy of the people o
the United States and the sympathy will
the principles of their constitution , " whicl
I have been quietly ripening among the Brit
ish people and which this year found ;
sudden and hearty expression. He said alsi
ho saw In the universltallty of the sent !
ments here , and the fact that they wen
reciprocated by a large majority of thi
Americans , a happy augury , as he bellevet
nothing could contribute more to the peact
of the world than the welfare of both na
tions than the sense of essential unity o
the two peoples.
Colonel Hay , In reply , referred to thi
gratification he experienced in hearing suul
j words from men so qualified by experienci
1 and character to speak for the British wltl
, certainty He added
] "My voice has no sanction as yours ; bu
I give it for whut It Is worth ; 1 jsaure yoi

I The ambassador also said his work ti
1 England had been made easy by the in

I by the frankness and fairness of her ma
i Jesty'a ministers and of all Englishmen hi
[ had come In contact with. He then said :
"On both sides of the ocean the convlc
tlon Is almost universal that a clear , cordia
and friendly understanding between grea

of civilization. I shall hold myself signal ! ;
fortunate if I am able to do anything ti

In question Is that one of the witnesses
