weight of the brainless ideas of its lying

the price of the wealth of Dakota.
That Conference.
The coufero-.ice at Fargo last Wednesday for
the purpose of calling a convention to kick
against 6oirth Dakota hogging the mum ( ,f D;^
kota, was very slirnly attended, only ;i few
counties being represented, and most of the del
egates were evidently recruited ou the streets of
Faiv'o. The Bismarck capital outfit did not
show up iv force, because there was no necessi
ty of their doing 60 at that meeting, but to Fatty
Edwards was intrusted the management of the
confab, and lie, as usual, executed the orders of
his superiors to the extent of his ability. Fatty
managed to have his own way in regard to the
time of holding the convention, and of course
named a date nenr at hand, in the midst of har
vest, when ''the people" will be busy at work
securing their crops. But this is the scheme of
the gang . They do not wact To see the people
at Fargo on the I2i!i of September. The
schemers will be there i:i full force, however,
and after adopting no-division and admission-as
a-wholo resolutions, will advertise their pro
ceedings as representing the s ntiment of north
Dakota. See?— Grand Forks Herald.
It seems strange that a man with as
much intelligence as the Herald genius
should shoot off his half developed ideas in
this style, especially when the facts do not
warrant it. Edwards was there, and he
made Dr. Hall take water, but the confer
ence was not run by him, and many of
his ideas were not even considered. It was
a friendly conference, representing various
ideas, and as the harvest will be nearly or
quite over by the date mentioned, Sept. 5,
it stands north Dakota in hand to be on
the look-out for the grand old name it
alone has made famons. When the ring
begins to get in its work then go for it, but
it does not pay to waste all one's valuable
wind on a shadow.
THE HUMAN HAIR.
"Yes," said a St. Louis barber in an.
swering a question, "there are a good
many curious things about the hair. I
suppose you believe, as most people do,
that frequent shaving will make the hair
grow on your face. That is not so. Just
think of it for a minute and try to explain
to yourself how scraping your face with
a razor can put new hair roots in your
skin ! What shaving does do is to in
crease the thickness of the hairs already
there — not their number. In this way
frequent shaving makes the beard some
what thicker. But at the same time, of
course, it makes it coarser. A young
Freshman with a little down on his upper
lip might spend his entire time shaving
himself and he could not start the growth
of a single new hair. The beard is not
nearly so troublesome to take care of as
the hair of the head. The beard is so
much smaller and thinner, for one thing.
There are about 290 hairs to a quarter of
a square inch of surface on the scalp,
and only forty hairs to the quarter inch
on the chin. Some of the hair follicles
on the scalp, particularly at the back of
the head, are often turned the wrong
way, making what some barbers call a
•cow-lick.' This makes a man heaps of
trouble, but it can be cured. Frequent
brushing is the only remedy for it.
"Hair dyes," he went on; "oh, yes,
we all have to use them more or less. I
generally make my own, but I could buy
just as good though they would cost
more. If you will take any half dozen
of the standard dyes you will find they
are all substantially the same. Nitrate
of silver and sulphur does the business.
But there is not nearly as much dyeing
of the hair now as there was a few years
ago. Gray hair is more fashionable,
and it is certainly prettier than dyed
hair, which can always be detected, no
matter how well it is done. The turning
gray of the hair is no sign of any loss in
its vitality. It is caused by a weakening
of the coloring vessels, that is all. Tight
hats cause grayness, as well as baldness.
There is something mysterious about
the hair. I have studied it carefully,
and for a long time, and have come to
consider a man's hair as something al
most superior to the rest of his body.
It is nearer immortal at any rate. I have
seen hair taken from a coffin that had
been buried for forty years, when all the
rest of the body had disappeared. Not
only had it grown long and thick after
the death of the body, but it was still
growing. Each hair seemed to have a
life of its own."
A QUEER PLACE FOR A TOMB.
Mary Jane, traveling through the
South, writes the Louisville Courier-
Journal : "While I was in Nashville
I walked by the residence of Mrs. Polk,
the widow of the ex-President, and
noticed the President's tomb in the
front yard. I never was married and
don't know how I might act as a widow,
but I don't believe I'd put my deceafed
other in the front yard where I could
see his tomb before and after each meal
and between times. I hava no objec -
tion to another woman doing it, however
au contra ire. I admire the fidelity and
leve which prompt it, but I know sev
eral instances of widows who, if they
had done so with their first husbands,
their seconds « ould have offered a bill
of exceptions, and, again, in some in
stances, if the practice had been fol
lowed, the whole front yard would have
been filled with the mementoes of the
widow's slain. Mrs. Polk's home is an
old-fashioned structure of brick with a
pillared portico in front, and presents a
very manorial appearance. "
Flies that can pass themselves off as
huckleberries have not lived in vain.
The slanderers are the men whom Dar
win meant. For all time they have
been, and are still, tale- bearers. This
world is a tally-ho coach, and the man
who blows the horn attracts the n-ost at
tention.
A visitor in Leadville, Col. , says that
in one of the churches there is a notice :
"Please do not shoot at the organist; he
is doing his best."

a beautiful and pyosperous city. Business
houses and happy homes in fifteen fateful
minutes were razed to the ground and
killed or wounded the inmates. These

THE SEMINOLE INDIANS AXV THElls
HAPPY CONDITION.
They are small in stature, pure cop
per color, with more regularly formed
features than their sturdier brethren of
the North. The dress of a brave is a
breech clout and an ordinary calico or
check shirt. Their head-gear is won
derfully picturesque. A brightly col
ored shawl is carefully folded and
pressed out flat, and then coiled into a
turban a foot or more in diameter.
Fancy feathers and other ornaments are
placed in the turban, which is worn
like a Turk's. Its bright colors and
curious shade suggest a coincidence in
taste with Mexican and Peruvian Indi
ans. The squaws are exceptionally
pretty and petite. They are lighter in
color than the braves, and are very coy
and modest in the presence of a white
man, probably because they seldom see
them. They wear two garments, a short
calico skirt and a very contracted jack
et.
They wear all sorts of ornaments, al
ligator teeth, curious bones, wild hogs'
teeth, and cheap jewelry, which the
brave purchases in the town before he
begins drinking. Like all the Indian
women they do nearly all the drudgery,
but the braves are generally kind to
them. The children are delicate-look
ing little things, but the papposes are
really beautiful babies. These Indians
go from place to place in a cypress dug
out, which is wider than the regiilar In
dian canoe, and which they usually row
instead of pole, owing to the fact that
the water in this country is deep. They
are very expert in using the oar.
They do not do away with the pole en
tirely, however. An Indian in the bow
of the boat rows one oar, and another
sits in the stern with a pole, with which
he rows and steers. The sharply-cut
dug-out glides quietly through the wa
ter, the speed being quite wonderful.
The boats go 300 miles into Lake Okee
chobee, and a Florida Indian is as hap
py in one as he is on shore. — Cor.

THE THREE GREATEST AMERICANS.
The great intellectual trio of our his
tory are not Clay, Calhoun and Web
ster, popular though they were, but
Hamilton, Marshall and Webster.
These are three immortal intellectually
greatest, and, judged by that standard,
no other American statesman is woi-lhy
to be placed in that rank. Hamilton,
as the writer of the military corres-Dond
ence of Washington, of the Federalist,
of the great report on finance, of nianv
of Washington's state papers, including
the farewell address, proved himself to
be a statesman, constitutional lawyer
and financier of consummate powers
and extraordinary genius. John Mar
shall, as the founder of American juris
prudence, earned the title of the Great
Chief Justice, and as a jurist proved
himself the peer at least of Eldon,
Mansfield and Holt. Webster, who sat
at the feet of Hamilton and Marshall as
a reverent worshiper, while lacking
the learning and versatility of the
former and the legal lore and marvel
ous intellectual acuteness of the latter,
in a certain mountain-like massiveness
of intellect surpassed perhaps all mod
ern men. It is safe to predict that the
future student of American history
will honor still more his country's
greatest statesman, greatest jurist and
grandest orator. — Gatli.

E VBRYTBINQ AT THE FAIR GROUNDS
is^booming. ea
Tha Exhibition of Stock the Greatest by
Many Fold of Anything ol the Kind Ever
Displayed in the West, Perhaps the
United States— Children's Day.
Yesterday afternoon the Globe dispatched
an emisary with instructions to write up
the respective exhibits at the fair grounds.
He went and he acknowladges becoming
so discouragingly bewildered at the mag
nitude of the exhibits, so surprisingly di
vine and multitudnious were they, that he
returned utterly unable, alone, to compile
anything like a fair or comprehensive re
view of the exposition, or rather the as
pect which the exposition presented on
the eve of the formal opening. Old Agri
cultural hall was found literally filled with
stalls occupied by live stock of the finest
breeds and some of them certainly enough
to astonish even the western bredman, who
is usually accustomed to meeting with
any and all things wonderful in the ani
mal life. One feature mentionable in
this particular is a ponderous
bull of the Holstein breed, owned by
Charles Cooper, a celebrated stock breeder
of Cresco, lowa. This particular animal
on the grounds tipped the beam at 2,990
pounds, and when in [a normal condition
weighs fully fifty pounds in excess of that
heavy weight. He is furthermore, a
beauty, and is only one of a large herd
now in stalls owned by the
same man. The cattle sccupy a large space
this year, and must needs make the heart
of the farmer rejoice as he feasts his eyes
upon them. The gigantic Norman and
Clydesdale horses for heavy draught work,
which are on exhibition, would seem suffi
cient to draw Noah's ark, which, it is said,
has just been discovered at the top of
Mount Ararat. They are of all ages and
all colors; and, forsooth, sizes, from the
frisky colt to the docile mother of ten
years, and weighing all the way from 100
to upwards of 2,000 pounds.
Down in the old stalls, occupied on for
mer occasions when balloons were inflated
and other things occurred during the first
weeks in September, which were
genuine "eye openers," so to Fpeak, the
Globe emissary found the fast animals.
And they were fast, as a rule hitched with
a good strong halter to a well provendered
manger. But they are beauties. Some
have records which might excite the envy
of the trotters of the great east. They are
entered in the races which occur on every
day of this week, and both the owners and
the drivers, who, it is perhaps needless to
explain, are among the most expert reins
men in the world, are determined to make
a record for their respective animals. The
racing will be
NO HirPODBOME.
Every horse will be driven for all he is
worth, or in parlance common "for blood."
In fact these races will be of such a
character that the unsophisticated, as re
gards pool box trickeries, may be perfectly
safe in investing their spare nickels in
backing the most speedy animals.
When it comes to machinery hall, the pen
cil pusher is at a blank loss to elucidate.
Therefore, for to-day, be content with the
explanation that it is stupendous. There
is everything. It is magnificent. Every
branch of industry is represented, and in
such a manner that the visitors from afar
must needs return to their respective
homes at the conclusion of the Exposition,
thoroughly embued with the magnitude of
our mercantile and manufacturing re
sources, albeit the writer who has lived in
Minneapolis a dozen years, and has wit
nessed as many fairs, was nonplussed.
And then the decoration, the work of many
adept and assiduous ladies, is immense,as
well as beautiful. What oould be added to
finish the picture the unskilled reporter
could not suggest. Despite this fact, how
ever, there was a little army of people
there yesterday putting on the finishing
touches aud in a most artistic manner, too.
For the accommodation and convenience
of those who may hunger or thirst, there
are innumerable booths beneath the grand
stand and amphitheatre. And in this con
nection it is well to add that an extension
of the amphitheatre, down toward agricul
tural hall, has been built. But even with
this the writer has the utmost faith in the
prediction that not onehaif the people
who shall visit the fair this week will find
rest upon the thousands of seats which it
provides, extensive as it is.
One of the prettiest things seen, and
moreover, one expressive of the agricul
tural wealth and resources of our sister
commonwealth, now struggling for recog
nition as a state — or better as two distinct
states — Dakota, is comprised in a monu
ment a hundred feet high, artistically
made of the heads and straws of cereals
which is located just at the east entrance
of Machinery hall.
THE TBACK
was found in a somewhat [dusty condition,
but the reporter was assured by the fair
management that by this afternoon it should
be sprinkled and placed in just as good
condition as it ever was on the occasion of
any race ever made in Minneapolis and we
can consistently assure our readers that
that is aIJ sufficient.
A number of the Minneapolis wheelmen
were speeding their machines up and down
the track, and a brief interview was gained
with one of the number. He believed the
tournament would be one of great interest,
and furthermore one which will elicit
unbounded enthusiasm. This result will
i be due to two causes:
Ist. The number of wheelmen entered
and . .
2d. The expertnepp, strength and en
durance of many of the members.
The names of E. L. Sawyer, of Fari
bault, D. W. McCord and Ed. Wilson, of
Minneapolis, nrd Fred Bryant and Mr.
Howard, of St. Paul, were mentioned as
eligible winuers of prizes, or in fact
the first prize. The various bicycle clubs,
also, take a great interest in the contest
which is to occur between the three great
est riders of the two wheeled machines in
the world. Great confidence was ex
pressed in the ability of Prof. Rollins to
win the first place, while many believe
that J. S. Prince is the fastest rider. Be
that as it may, all believe that it will be a
close and hotly contested race.
( This morning the great feature event of
Minneapolis begins. Tt is children's day.
The Globe again calls upon every parent
in the two great cities to accord the little
dears a day of pleasure which they can
never forget, a day which shall be so re
plete with happy surprises that it will fill
their tender hearts with exuberance and
happiness which must brini? contentment
to the loving mother who is expected to
accompany them. You are welcome . The
newspaper carriers are all invited to come
and participate in the pony race mounted
upon their own ponies, for which there is a
purse of $25 offered. Boys, it will coßt
you nothing and if your pony is fast
enough, and you know how to stimulate
him to the requisite speed, you can get
pin money enough to last you several
months.
Yesterday the balloon which will make
its first ascension was Ijing half inflated —
probably with wind and not gas— in front
of the grand stand yesterday . One of the
aeronauts is an expert gymnast and per
forms some daring and wonderful feats
from the trapeze in mid air, and is willing
to make an exhibition of his amazingfoski
in the event the people so elect. Come
everybody come.

A Smart Chap Taken In.
You have all heard of the man who
■won a bet by saying that he had but a
half a shirt on his back. The other
night, in a well-known resort, I heard
a man make a similar wager. He
was taken up by aspruce-looking young
chap. The bet was made, and the
smart man said :
"Of course, I have a whole shirt on,
but only half is on my back, the rest is
in front."
This created quite a laugh, and when
the noise subsided the spruce-looking
chap said :
"That's good, I've heard it before;
but, by the way, have you not got an
undershirt on V"
"I have," was the reply.
"Well, then, you have half an under
shirt on, together with half of tho
other shirt, and when I went to school
I was taught that two halves make a
■whole."
He gave in, and in the future when
he wants to make such a bet he will
leave the undershirt off. — Western
