At the exposition yesterday life was
hardly worth the living. It was a regular
old roaotcr with the mercury lurking up In
the shade of the century point. All day
long the sun shone with n heat ( hit seemed
to come from the mouth of some blast fur
nace. In fact It was so hot that few people
ventured out during the day and those who
wore upon the grounds kept In the shade
of the big buildings. Night brought some
relief , hut the threatening aspect of the
'weather kept people nt home , KO that every
thing considered , the attendance was the
lightest of any day since the opening.
Late In the afternoon the executive com-
mlttoo held the dally meeting , de\otlng the
greater portion of the time to the cono.dera-
tlon of routine matters. It was ordered that
some date between August 20 nnd 25 bo net
aside as Sioux City day , the merchants and
business men of that city writing that they
desire a day set aside for their benefit Re
garding this matter , the dcMlls were turned
over to Superintendent Cutrlght of the De
partment of Publicity , who will go to Sioux
City to complete the arrangements.
The Indian band was engaged for another
month , their first term of service having ex
pired.
The resignation of S. M. iMcCowan ns mi-
perlntendcnt of the Indian bureau was ac-
coptcd and former Assistant Superintendent
Gatnes appointed to nil the vacancy.
Races as follows were scheduled for Satur
day afternoon , beginning at 2:30 : o'clock :
Two pacing , three running and a number of
Indian foot and pony races.
An order was Issued permitting the clos
ing of the Government building at 7 o'clock
each evening.

. Filipino Who AVim Once AVrnllhy In
\ < MV Itrelm-pil tu I'cniiry.
Among the Filipinos who are now at the
exposition there Is ono man , Felix Durnno ,
who thrco years URO could have drawn a
check for $250,000 and have had It cashed.
Today , however , his chock -would be worth
little moro than the revenue stamp , no mat
ter for how much It mlfjht bo drawn.
Felix Durano la not yet 30 years ot ape ,
yet ho Is highly educated and speaks several
languages , having been educated In one ot
the universities at Madrid , from which he
nai graduated with high honors some eight
ycnrs ago. The young man was the son of
a wholesale dealer In silks who resided In
Manila. The father was born on the Island
of Luzon and married there. After reachIng -
Ing his majority , the father engaged In the
silk business In a small way and soon
amassed a fortune. Ono son Felix was
born. When this boy was 14 > ears ot age
Jio was sent to Madrid to bo educated and
returned to Manila four yrors ago. After
his return he became a partner In the bus
iness with his father and they made money
very rapidly until three years ago , when the
father died. Soon fter that the Spaniards
' commenced to levy taxes that practically re
sulted In the confiscation of the property.
Gradually the property went to pay taxes
and the final stroke came two years ago ,
when the Spaniards looted the big store of
the Duranos and carried away about all of
the goods. The young man had money In
the bank and horses and cattle In the fields ,
hut they went to pay the debts of the Span
ish government. At last nearly everything
nas gone and the proud scion of the once
aristocratic Durano family shipped before
the mast , going Into the employ of a mer
chantman. Ho made a number of trips to
China and Japan and returned just In time
to find his country at war with Spain. He
took up arms and fought for the liberty of
the Filipinos , quitting the field soon after
Uowey destroyed the Spanish fleet. At the
tlmo of the great naval battle Durano was
' In the Interior of the Island and was In com
mand of a company of natlvo troops. Be-
llevlnR that war was at an end , ho returned
to Manila and engaged in business again ,
but was not successful. He romalned there
until about two mouths ago , when ho started
for America.

During the past week the concessionaries
on the two Midways have been making the
lives of the members of the executive com
mittee anything but pleasant , and all on ac
count of the Sioux Indians. Before the In
diana arilved , the Information waa given out
that they would be located on the Blutt
tract , just south of the Horticultural build
ing. When the announcement was made ,
the spirits of the concessionaries on the
1'ast Midway went up several degrees. They
realized that the Indlnnn would provo o etar
attraction nnd thnt their presence would
draw large crowds to that part of thu
grounds. The concessionaries realized the
tame thing und at once commenced to lay
their plans to keep tbo red men In tbo
vicinity of the Transportation building.
The fight between the concessionaries upon
the two streets was n spirited one and at
this tlmo It Is apparent that the people who
occupy the west street have scored n vic
tory , for nil work on tJio Bluff tract in the
way of laying sowcra und water mains has
been discontinued and the tepees of the
Sioux have been erected In the open space
between the Transportation building and the
West Midway.

Ynt.t.o\v mm Miens IMPOSITION.
Mrillclnc IInil of tlir Mntix
nn OfllHnl Opinion ,
On the agency rolls at Pine Hldgo Yeltow
Dog Is Just nn everyday Indian. In fact ,
up there Yellow Dog Is known as a "coffee
cooler , " nn Indian who Is too lazy to work
nnd sits around the tepee all day , compel
ling his squaw to cut the wood , build the
fires , cook the rations drawn from Undo
Sam'w larder , carry the water , curry the pony ,
make the beds , tend the babies and do an
hundred and ono other things thnt a good
and obedient aquaw Is expected to do. Down
here , however , Yellow Dog Is- posing as a
medicine man and there Is no Indian dare
deny the fact that ho Is one , simply for the
reason that Yeltow Dog has something of a
pull with the commissary and assists In glv- ,
Ing out the meal tickets. Mrs. Yellow Dog '
is proud of the distinction thnt her husband
has suddenly achieved and has a hateful
habit of casting scornful glances at some
of the other squaws who hint that she Is
stuck up.
Yellow Dog speaks some English and ho
expresses himself as bolng Is full sympathy
with the exposition. Ho declares that ho
likes expositions and will advocate that they
bo held on the re-wrvatlon. Yellow Dog's
love for expositions comes about by reason
of the fact that ho knows a good thing whoa
he sees It and Insists In pushing It nlong.
As n rule * the Indians hnto cameras as
entan Is alleged to hate holy water. Why
ttcy halo them no person knows , but they
do , Just the same , and consequently the
kodak artists are sad. The Indian camp Is
a famous resort for these Individuals ,
though but few of them are recompensed
for their trouble , simply for the reason that
when n camera is pointed at a bunch of In
dians they Jump , run and scatter like a
flock of brown partridges. Yellow Dog ,
however , likes the camera and Is often seen
p.sing for his picture , jet to get It the ar
tist must put up CO cents for each and
every exposure. The fellow makes up well
and having a liberal supply of paint upon
his face nnd plenty of feathers stuck In
his hnlr he always turns out n good nega
tive.
tive.But
But referring to the medicine man end of
Yellow Dog's reputation , It came about thli
way. Yesterday John Runs Fast filled him
self with green peaches nnd In less than
an hour thereafter he developed as pretty a
case of cholera morbus as has been upon
the exposition grounds this season. The tel-
low rolted on the grass and writhed In
agony as he clawed at his bread basket.
Special Indian Commissioner Muntefc'rlng
tried to relieve the pains which the Indian
was experiencing , but It was to him n hope
less case. Then several of the guards tried
some of their remedies. None of these
reached the spot and It was suggested that
the hospital wagon he called. John refused
to listen to anything of this kind and de-
claied that he would dlo before ho would
go to the place from which he declared a
dead man was carried last week. Things
began to look serious and about this tlmo
Yellow Dog appeared upon the scene. Ho
looked the man over and muttered something
In Sioux , after which he hastened to his
wigwam nnd soon returned with a bottle
containing a small quantity of brown pow
der. Some of this ho poured out In the
palm of his hand and throw down the throat
of the sick man. By this tlmo the effect
of the peaches had commenced to wear away
and the pain grow less. Another dose of the
brown powder was given and ten minutes
later the sick Indian got up and walked
away , a well man.
Speaking of the powder Yellow Dog tald
that It was made from the "body of a male
bat , killed when the moon was waning and
dried on the cast side of a cottonwood tree.
Ho further added that something like 100
years ago a cholera scourge -visited the
Sioux and carried away hundreds of them.
All of the known remedies prescribed by
the medicine men were tried , but still the
Indians kept on dying at a fearful rate. At
last his grandfather , who lived many miles
away , was sent for and by giving the bat
remedy stamped out the plague. Upon his
deathbed the old man Imparted the secret
euro to Yellow Dog.

Tbero are to be two events In the Streets
of Cairo Saturday evening. Ono Is to be a
battle of confetti and the other Is a wed

everyone will bo at liberty to throw small
pieces of colored paser at everybody else.
The wedding will bo a real -matilmonlal

have formed a warm attachment for each
other and Colone ] Nlncl has advised that
they marry. The ceremony will be public
and will bo performed by one of the priests ,
taking place In tfront of the theater.
The Deep Sea Diving Is proving to be
nn educational feature , as " ( veil ns an amuse
ment , nnd the fetes performed by Captain
Sorcho In the tank of water are very In
structive to at least the people living In
the Interior away from where diving Is car
ried on. His latest feat Is to go to the
bottom of a tank and go through the opera
tion of raisins n wrecked vessel. To do
this he takes with him numerous pumps
which he works In and around the hulk of
the vessel. Having completed the task , the
sunken ship pops up to the surface almost
Instantly. iHls method of raising dead people
ple nnd sending them up to the surface Is
another Interesting feature.
The Filipinos were nil taken to the Para
graph yesterday , where they gazed upon the
movable pictures , representing the battle
ot Manila. Many of these people were In
Manila whnn the ficht occurred and they
recognized several of the scenes.
"That's where I left my good , right arm , "
remarked a veteran as ho stood Inside the
Cycloramn yesterday , gazing upon the pic
ture of the battle of Lookout Mountain.
This mrfn said ho was In the fight from first
to last , and while looking over the field , in
dicated numerous points of Interest.

When It comes to antiquities , there Is n
plow nt the exposition that can give every
thing else out there points nnd then win.
This plow came from Cuba and consists
of ft piece of Iron bent over a stick of wood ,
attached to a beam and serving lor handles.
The whole thing weighs about 500 pounds
and is about as unwieldy an agricultural
Instrument as ono could find , The oxen are
hitched to the beam , ono walking on elthor
stdo. This stick , which Is almost ns thick
as a telegraph pole , Is come sixteen feet
long. Midway between the wids a straight
upright U lashed on and on the lower end
of this the Iron which stirs the ground Is !
attached. In using the clew , no effort Is ,
made to turn over the earth , the Iron
part simply scratching up the Ground and
turning It out from the center. Cubans hero
who have used plows ot similar construction
say that a man with a lively team can pro
over about half an aero of ground In a day
nnd do the work well.

In connection with the building ot the
big warehouse by Armour ami Company n
revision ot the figures shows thnt 2,000 car-
loids of dirt will have to bo moved , What
to ilo with this Immense quantity ot dirt la
a question which Is still unsolved. It has
/been / suggested that the dirt bo used to nil
In some of the holes and gullies In the Third
ward nnd with this object In view a confer
ence between Mayor Ensor and General
Manager Howe will bo held. The city can
use the dirt to good advantage on a num
ber of etrcets and alleys near the Armour
plant and It is possible that some arrange
ment will bo made whereby the city can get
some filllns done at little or no cost.
Mayor Ensor had n talk with City Engi
neer Beal yesterday afternoon about the
matter and the engineer suggested that about
10,000 yards of the dirt be secured and
Placed on Twenty-fourth street south of Q.
This road Is the principal one leading Into
the city from the south nnd Is badly in need
of attention , the- rains having done consid
erable damage. Mayor Hnsor proposes to
bring the matter to the attention of the city
council at the uext meeting and It Is prob
able that some action toward securing this
dirt will bo taken. Complaints are con-
vntly being made about the condition of
Twenty-fourth street and Railroad avenue
and now that the opportunity Is offered for
repairs at a very moderate cost It Is thought
that the council will not hesitate.

It was the intention of the doctors nt
the hospital to perform on operation on
Ed Callahan yesterday afternoon , but the
condition of the patient forbade It , and It
may bo tomorrow or next day before the
attempt Is made. The physicians propose
to unite the artery which was severed by
a bullet In order to stop the hemorrhage
and to cut out the bullet which severed
this artery. This bullet Is now lodged In
the shoulder nnd Is near the surface. No
danger Is apprehended from the operation
of removing the bullet , but It Is feared
that the shock of uniting the artery may
result In a sinking upell from which the
patient may never recover. Yesterday Cal
lahan imado a statement to County Attorney
Shields , < telllng the whole trouble. He said
that Shanahan shot .htm without provoca
tion. The statement was taken down by a
stenographer , but the county attorney re
fused to make It public.

In connection with the repairs being made'
to the public school buildings the paper on
the walls of about thirty of the. rooms is be
ing cleaned. This cleaning will cost about
$2 per room and will prevent the necessity
of repaperlng the rooms at this time. Quito
a number ot the desks In different buildings
are bolng scrubbed and rcvarnlshed. The
cost of dressing over the desks is slight ,
amounting to only 25 cents per desk. Aichl-
tect Klowit Is working on the plans for the
remodeling of a number of rooms at the
school houses where basement rooms are to
be used In order to take care of the In
crease In pupils. It Is thought now that no
attempt to secure an injunction preventing
the Board of Education from purchasing the
Twentieth and O street site will be made ,
as-the feeling In the matter seems to have
quieted down.

County Attorney Shields evidently became
alarmsd at the testimony of William Adalr
when the witness testified thnt he and others
spent some time playing a slot machine at
Duffy's saloon , for yesterday aftrrncon As
sistant County Attorney Thomas turned over
to Judge Babcock n number of complain'
against those who weic supposed to bo
operating slot machines. Mr Thomas was
\ery caieful to tell the judge to keep the
Information from the press , and as far as
the Judge Is concerned he did as ho was
instructed. It is known , however , that com
plaints have been drawn against a dozen
or so saloon keepers. These complaints
were not signed by Judge Babcock last
night , and it is probable that by today all
the slot machines In the city will have dis
appeared.

Pains and aches come from excels of uric
acid in the blood , due to neglected
kidney double. Kidney trouble causes
quick or unsteady heart beats and aiak s
onu feel as though they had heart trouble ,
because- the heart Is overworking to pump
the thick , kidney-poisoned blood through
the veins and arteries.
Soreness or uncomfortable feeling la the
back Indicates kidney trouble of ao hinari
Importance.
The passing of scanty or profuse quanti
ties of urine Is n warning of kidney trouble
If you want to feel wsll you can make no
mistake by first doctoring your kidneys.
The famous new discovery , Dr Kilmer's
Swamp-Root , Is the true tpeclflc for Kidney ,
bladder and urinary troubles. It has cured
thousands of apparently hopeless cases after
all other efforts have failed.
