STRANGE PEOPLE WITH PAWNEE BILL'S SHOW
Royal Singalese Troop the Most Interesting of the Many
Strange People- Who Will Be With the Wild West
and Far East Aggregation in Dawson Tomorrow.
The Royal Cingalese Troupe in
the Far East department of Paw
nee Bill’'s gigantic show, which will
be here on Thursday, are the only
ones in thsi country, and are an in
teresting group of the many strange
people with this wonderful aggre
gation. It is the same troupe that
entertained the prince and princess
of Wales when their royal highness
visited Colombo on their tour
around the world. The troupe con
gists of mnine performers, one of
whom is a famous Hindu conjurer
whose feats have baffled American
and English travelers ever since
their country was invaded by the
white explorers.
The dancers, whose glossy black
hair and deep, copper-colored com
plexion proclaim tlhieir race, are ar
raved in the picturesque costume of
their native land, and the dances
they perform sare the genuine: na
tive dances of far away Ceylon.
Their orchestra consists of a wooden
drum and three pairs of wooden
cymbals. To the rhythmic beating
of these primitive musical instru
ments, supplemented by a monoto
nous chanting and by the clashing
of brass ornaments with which their
heads, limbs and dresses are cover
ed, the dancers go through their
quaint and graceful evolutions on
tges that are light and fantastic in
a way quite strange to people on
this side of the globe.
There is a gold ball dance, in
which three Cingalese girls engage,
and which consists of swayings of
the body from side to side, whilei
the dancers march up and down and}
round and round, brandishing in
their hands gilded bowls in 'WhichJ
some metal tongue clangs to every'
movement. Then there are the very
spirited gyrations of the two silver |
dancers and, most interesting of all,
there is a musical pine-stick dance,
in which the whole troupe engages.
In this last instance the dancers
hold aloft in each hand a short
wooded staff, and as they perform a
particularly intricate gort of ‘‘gold
chain”” round the man with the
drum they clash their staves against
those of each in turn. The effect
fs distinctly pretty and pleasing, not
only to the eye, but even to the
ear. Between these dances Obdur
Rhimon, the Hindu conjurer, ex
hibits his skill in a series of tricks
which, while remarkable in them
selves, derive an added interest from
the quaint Eastern methods in which
they are performed. A bagpipe, for
instance, is not the familiar accesso
ry of a conjurer in this country, but
tor Obdur Rhimon the strains of the
bagpipe take the place of the con
ventional abracadabra of the occi
dental necromancer. When he
wishes to make whole again a rib
bon that has been cut and burnt,
or when he wishes to conjure water
into an empty bowl, he paces sol
emnly round the object, blowing a
shrill incantation on the native bag
pipe.

Some of the things that are thrust
upon us in this world cost us more
than the things we have to buy.
DOCTORS MISTAKES
Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescribes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause of suffering, keeps up his treatment
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets 'no better, by reason of the
wrong treatment, but probably worse. A
proper medicine like Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription, directed to the cause would
have entirely removed the disease, there
by dispelling all those distressing symp
toms, and instituting comfort instead of
prolonged misery. It has been well said,
that “a disease known is kalf cured.”
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Preseription is a
scientific medicine, carefully devised by
an ex({)erienced and skillfal physician,
and a asted to woman’s delicate ggstem.
It is made of native American medicinal
roots and is perfectly harmless in its
effects in any condition of the femnale
system.
As all)owerful invigorating tonic "Fa
vorite Prescription” imparts strength to
the whole system and to the organs dis
tinetly feminine in particular. %ur over
worked, “worn-out,” run-down,” debili

seamstresses, "shop-girls,” house-keepers,
nursing mothers, and feeble women gen
erally, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
is the greatest earthly boon. being un
equaled as an appetizing cordial and re
storative tonic. -
As a soothing and strengthening nerv
ine “Favorite ]g’r(-scription ” is unequaled
and is invaluable in allaying ané sub

nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration,
neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, St. Vitus's
dance, and other distressing, nervous
symptoms commonly atteadant upon
functional and organic disease of the
uterus. It induces refreshing slee({) and
relieves mental anxiety and des;x)n ency.

FARMER WILSON EXPLODES AN
OTHER FOND DELUSION.
The Always Interesting Department
of Agriculture Alleges That Eggs
Contain Bacterial Parasites.
The public had fondly fancied that
there was one food product, the hen
egg, which was safe from the icono
clastic hand of the pure food expert,
but now even this faith is destroyed.
We can no longer eat fresh eggs
with confident assurance that they
are a pure article of food.
Qecretary Wilson of the agricult
ural department has given it ont
officially that even the freshest eggs
may, under certain conditions, cause
illness by communicating some bac
terial disease or some Dparasite.
“It is possible,”” he says, ‘for an
eggz to become infected with micro
organisms, either before it is laid, or
after. The shell is porous and offers
no greater resistance to micro-organ
isms which cause disease than it
does to those which cause the egg
to spoil. When the infected egg is
eaten raw the micro-organisms, if
present, are communicated to man,
and may cause disease.”
The typhoid fever germs, the ag
ricultural department says, may at
tach themselves to the hen’s feet or
feathers and may then penetrate the
egg before it is hatched. The eggs
of worms, as well as grains and
seeds, are found in eggs, having
made their way there while the white
and the shell were being added to the
volk, in the egg gland of the fowl.
“pasteurizing the hens, and then
subjecting them to X-rays, is the
next step toward the germless egg,”’
says the New York World. At this
rate the game of living will ;mot he
worth the candle.
PLOWING AT NIGHT.
In Kansas the Sod Is Turned With
Headlight Accompaniment.
The steam plow has become a fa
miliar object in western Kansas, All
through the western portions of the
wheat belt big traction engines, with
wheel tires nearly a yard wide, are at
work pulling the gang plows and
turning up the soil at the rate of 30
acres a day, with two men working
each outfit. These two men, work
ing in the old way, could plow only
about six acres a day, so that the
steam plow has increased the , effl~
ciency of labor fivefold in this one
character of farm work.
These outfits cost about $1,900,
but the expense of plowing averages
only about 40 cents an acre, as com
pared with an expense of 75 cents
to $1.50 an acre where the work is
done by a man with a team. There
fore a farmer who owns 1,000 acres
of wheat land can save enough'in a
tew years to pay for a steam plow.
Kansas City dealers say that about
half the steam plows in the west are
owned by large farmers, and the re
‘mainder belong to thrashing machine
‘men who run the plows in the spring
iand the late fall when they are not
busy thrashing grain.
. The rush to get the fall plowing
finished while the ground is in good
condition has prompted some farm
ers to run their steam plows at night,
with a great glaring headlight gleam
ing across the fields, as well as in
the daytime.
. The only objection to the steam
!plow is that it enables farmers to
| plant more wheat than they can har
ivest. In the portions of central and
western Kansas where the farms are
large and the population is compara
tively sparse, a favorable fall for
plowing and planting and a steam
plowing outfit at hand result in such
Ilarge areas of wheat that when the
harvest season comes the task of
lgathering the crop must wait on the
‘incoming of hundreds of strangers
to labor for a few weeks in the har
|vest fields.
Wounds, Bruises and Burns.
By applying an antiseptic dressing
to wounds, bruises, purns and like
injuries before inflammation sets in
they may be healed without matura
tion and in about one-third the time
required by the old treatment. This
is the greatest discovery and triumph
of “modern surgery. Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm acts on this same princi
ple. It is an antiseptic, and when
applied to such injuries, causes them
to heal very quickly. It also allays
the pain and soreness and prevents
any danger of blood poisoning. Keep
a bottle of Pain Balm in your home
and it will save you time and money,
not to mention ' the inconvenience
and suffering such injuries entail.

CORN FOR HOUSE BROOMS
IMMENSITY OF THE INDUSTRY
IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS.
Growing Crop Makes a Beautiful
Sight. Production Is Limited
to a Small Area.
Experts in the broom-corn district
of central Illinois estimate that the
harvest this year in the United
States will furnish sufficient material
for the making of 42,000,000
brooms, valued at $15,000,000. If
placed in cars for shipment, allowing
4,000 to a car, it would require 10,-
000 cars to hold them. This means
200 freight trains of 50 cars each,
or about 100 miles of brooms.
Central Illinois, composed of the
counties of Soles, Douglas and Ed
gar, and a portion of Moultrie, has
just harvested material for $15,000,-
000 of new brooms. The aristocratic
brooms which retail for 25 cents or
more, are the product of Illinois.
The cheaper grades come from Okla
homa, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas
and other scattering broom-corn dis
tricts, and will add 1,000,000 to the
supply.
The origin of the industry in Illi
nois dates back to the early ’6os,
when Col. John Cofern, a farmer, in
troduced the corn in Douglas county,
having secured the seed from Ten
nessee. Within a few years Illinois
became known as the broom-corn
state of the country. Since then Ok
lahoma has forgea ahead, but Illi-’
nois still produces the finest quality.
Within a radius of 30 miles from Ar
coda is grown the corn from which
practically all the best brooms of the
world are made, and this district is
still regarded as the national source
of supply.
A colony of Swedes took up the
cultivation of broom?corn in Knox
county after it had been made a suc
cess in Douglas, and the Swedes in
troduced it into Kansas. From Kan
sas the cultivation extended south
and into Oklahoma, and in the last
five years the crop has increased in
a remarkable manner.
Producing Area Is Small.
Attempts have been made to raise
broom-corn in Indiana and other big
corn states, and even in other parts
of Illinois, but without success. It
has been demonstrated that the pro
duction of corn for brooms is limited
te certain broom-corn districts which,
after all, are mere pockets, and
efforts to raise it in other places
noted for Indian corn are seldom
guccessful. The secret of this may
be found in the fact that the cost
of broom-corn farming is far ahead
iof ordinary corn raising. In order
Ito cultivate and harvest broom-corn
of the first grade it is fully as im
portant to build sheds for the stor
§age of the crop as it is to construct
}similar sheds in the south to dry the
‘tobacco crop. Peculiar thrashing
loutfits have to be bought. The crop
{s cultivated much the same as corn,
except that it develops much faster
than Indian corn. It is planted im
mediately after the Indian corn, but
is harvested in September and the
first week in October.
The central Illinois fields range in
gize from 10 to 100 acres in area,
and the growing crop makes a beau
tiful sight. The Illinois acreage
ranges from 30,000 t0_50,000. First
class broom-corn is raised in Kansas,
but the bulk of the crop consists of
the dwarf variety, which is used for
whisk brooms. Practically all the
whisk brooms come from Kansas. It
requires from two to three acres to
raise a ton of broom-corn.
