The Custer massacre, which marks
the Ki'catvMt Indian outrage of recent
times, win be reproduced with won
derful fidelity to detail at the Iewls
and Clark exposition on Thursday.
August 10, when L'matlllu Indians and
soldiers of the Oregon National
Guard and the JOth United States In
fantry will take part. The massacre
promisei, to prove the most Interesting
and instructive of the big free outdoor
attractions which have been provided
by the exposition management for
the patrons of the western World's
Fair.
It was l'i years ago on, June 25,
If1 75, that Custer and his troops rode
into the death trap on the Little Big
Horn river. Shortly after crossing
the river, hundreds of Kloux attack
ed the. little band, which resisted he
roically, making a last stand In a
hand-to-hand contest In which every
trooper was killed. The only survivor
of the dreadful massacre was a trum
peter whom Custer had sent, early In
the fray, to Major Keno for rein
forcements. The reproduction of the massacre
at the IjcwIs and Clark exposition
will have f'ir Its location a plot of
ground on the government peninsula
In Guild's lake, near the river en
trance, to the fair. The lay of the
mound at this place Is similar to the
geography of the Little Ulg Horn,
and this circumstance will add much
to the Interest of the bloodless mas
sacre Indians from the Umatilla res
crvatu.n, garbed In the war clothes
of the plains, will form the attacking
party, and the attack will be main
tained by them until the last of the
soldiers representing Custer's band,
have fallen.
Of hardly less interest than th,e re
production of th Custer massacre,
will be the great naval sham battle
on Guild's lake at the exposition,
Wednesday, August 2, On this occa-
f-lon, as In the case of the massacre,
the natural advantages which the ex
position possesses (in account of its
setting, will contribute materially to
the success of the project.
Just west of the exposition grounds,
the foothills of the Cascade range
icach down to the shore of Guild's
lake, and here will be a fort, with
real looking guns spitting harmless
l ut deadly looking fire. The attack
ing fleet of miniature vessels will
make an assault upon the fort on the
hillside and an ironclad in the harbor
near it. From til" llrldge of Nations,
whir h spans Guild's lake, spectators
1.1. iv e,. -pe iron' , di-alled jy lie
attacking fleet, and watch every op
eration. A mosquito fleet of torpedo
boats will add to the excitement, and
several torpedo boats will blow up
a floating craft. One of the men of
war presently will be dhabled and a
crew ofUncle Sam's life silvers, who
are giving' daily exhibitions at the
fair will set forth and rescue the un
lorlunates In true life saving style.

The gatekeeper at the Union depot
ut Chicago had a shock wnlch nearly
gave him heart failure yesterday, says
W. L. C. In the Denver Post.
He had just gone on watch In the
soft gray dawn, when something tall
and bright yellow started from the
ground behind the little booth of the
ticket puncher and waved a pair of
long, bony hands at him.
"In," moaned a voice from some
where at the top of the yellow monu
ment. "Let mea c-e-c-n-a."
"he gatenian gasped, took his heart
he veen his teeth und stammered,
"H Isn't here yet the ticket chop
I 01 ; yui can go In when he comes. '
Down to the ground fell the yellow
inonumi nt the long bony hands grasp
ed the gatekeeper around his knees.
"E-e-e-n," he moaned; "they will
have-a my blood, they will eats my
heart; let'-a me e-e-e-e-n."
And the gatenian stepped aside, and
let the yellow streak In. The yellow
streak was one F.l Nunan. prophet,
seer und teacher, from Persia. '
He had a ticket to Terre Haute,
Ind., and to Terre Haute he has gone,
leaving his class to mourn his de
parture. El Nunan enme to Chicago a little
over a year and a half ago. He wns a
tall man, so slender that the timid al
ways looked away from him hastily
for fear they might see clear through
him which, in the case of a man of
El Nunnn's exalted pretensions, would
have been unseemly.
He hnd n pair of black eyes that
burned like coals, a long thin face, a
set of teeth that flashed like fire
works on a clear Fourth of July night,
and a voice that called to the souls of
the superstitious like the voice of one
crying from the tombs of his ances
tors. A Wonderful Prophet.
He was a great man. wns El Nunan.
He lived In a little cottage on
Pleasant street, where ho was attend
ed In state by an eastern servant, nil
white turban nnd sheet drapery.
It was whispered In the neighbor
hood that El Nunun never ate nnd
that he slept one hour In the 24. and
thnt hour was from midnight until the
mystic time of 1 o'clock.
Also El Nunan worked charms,
wondrous charms, and he taught for
a mere nothing the secrets of the far
away east.
One of the secrets he taught was
connected with the ever-elusive mys
tery of human life. "Have you too
many daughters?" said El Nunan,
speaking one morning to Mrs. John
Phelps. "It Is easy. Henceforth all
the children of your household shall
be sons. Eat but what I shall pre
scribe you and the family at your ta
ble and you shall supply tho north
side with fighters und banner-bearers
that will causa the west and south
slders to hang their diminished heads
In shame."
To El Nunun came then Mr. and
Mrs. John Slmmlngton Rooth and a
Mr. nnd Mrs. Marshall, all of Pleas
ant street 1
"Eat but what I shall prescribe,"
said El Nunan, "and all shall ha as
you wish." And so it c.ime to p::rs
thnt tho grocers of the neighborhood
backed their carta uo to the Booth
nnd the Marshall and the Thclps and
the Fllnkow and to many other homes
In'the street, bearing loads of ruta
baga roots and sacks of barley.
. Five times a day did the women of
the household sit down to a meal of
boiled barley and four times a day
did the men of the family dine on ru
tabaga. I ' .
No meat, no vegetable, no fruit; al
ways und always rutabaga Und bnr-l.-y.
,
Tho men of tho famllv. at first en
thusiastic, grew restive. '
"I want something to eat," they
cried. In rebellion, but El Nunnn
came nnd argued with them In his
weird voice, like one crying from the
tombs, and at the burning of his
amazing eyes, the every-day Ameri
can heat quailed and the rutabai;a
diet went on.
Last Wednesday was a great day in
Pleasant street
Pleasant street Is lust one block
long and in tho last four months 27
children have been born In that one
block.
Tho Stork Arrives.
At 2 o'clock In tho morning there
was a slamming of doors and a pat
ter of feet In the Booth household,
and at 3 oYlqck the street heard the
pleasant whimper of a new vjlce In
the neighborhood.
Mr. Marshall. Mr. Fllnkow and Mr.
Phelps hovered excitedly In 'he
shadows.
No voii c called them from the np
cper window and from the front porch
came no word of cheer.
Finally Mr. Fllnkow stole around
the corner of the house and threw a
handful of pebbles up to the window
of tho room where he thought Ills
dear friend and fellow sufferer from
tho rutabaga diet might be sleeping.
Three times did he throw a handful
of Dcbbles and three times did he
hear the soft clashing Impact of the
pebbles with the glass, until finally
a window was raised and the head of
Mr. Booth, wlld-halred and sleepy
eyed, looked out.
"Well?" -said the trio of waiting
friends In a hoarse whlsner.
"Well?" grunted Mr. Booth, sulkily.
"Is It a hoy?" whispered Mr. Flln
kow. "Naw!" growled Mr. Booth; "snme
old kind again." and the window
slammed down.
Offers an Excuse.
" 'Twas the corn beef and cabbage
he sneaked out nnd got along nt the
first week of the dieting." said one
of the faithful three. "He don't
count."
On Friday the Fllnkow famllv was
busy nnd the women of the neighbor
hood hurried In and out whispering
and smiling, and nt noon Mr. Fllnkow
appeared on his porch, shoeless, hnt
less. eoatlcss and with a countenance
of deepest gloom.
"Girls." he said; "two of 'em." Ho
looked toward the cottage where lived
El Nunan. tho follower of the ruta
baga and barlev diet, nnd shook his
fist.
At night came triplets to the Mar
shall home and every one of the three
was a girl.
That night El Nunan fled down
Pleasant street followed by four reso
lute men with a hose, a plckaxo. a
shovel and a pitchfork.
Half drowned, beaten, frightened
nnd gasping, he fled to the railroad
station and started for Terre Haute.
And uo and down Pleasant street
today comes a pleasant smell of fry
ing onions, boiling meat nnd biscuit.
Tho Enst Indlnn servant took off
his turban and went down to South
Clark street and dined luxuriantly on
(ifnt pork and greens.
As for El Nunnn long be his so
journ In Terro Haute. It will bode
him 111 should he ever set foot on
l'i. i int street, Chicago, again.
