TO SAVE THE BUFFALO.
Government Will Help a Dakota
Ranehman Who Has Saved a
Small Herd.

Pierre, S. D., April 25.-A number OF
years ago, when it became apparent
that the buffalo was to be exterminat-
ed in the northwest, Fred Dupree, an
old ranchman living on Cheyenne river,
about 20 miles north of this city, cap
tured several calves from one of the
small herds which were yet roaming in
Dakota, and began breeding them for
the purpose of keeping them in exist
ence- Many times his efforts seemed a
failure, but the little bunch finally be-
gan to increase, and now consists of 80
head of full blood buffalo and IS half
breeds.
With the care and attention he has
given them and the free life which they
have led, there are among them what
are pronounced to be the finest speci-
mems of the buffalo in existence. He
has just secured from the Indian de-
partment permission to incIose a large
tract of the Cheyenne River Indian res
ervatton in which to keep his herd and
prevent their scattering. His efforts
will assist in keeping in existence these
animals, which, without the care of
few men, would be known only in his
tory.

Proposed War Tax on Proprietary
Medicines Causes Comment

At a meeting of the drug trade section

transportation the matter was discussed
and the committees on legislation and
ways and means were Instructed to con-
slider the subject and report plan of &C
ton.
Some of the members of the section
were in favor of organizing strong del
egation to go to Washington for the pur-
pose of presenting their views to the con-
gressional committees. They want the
tax restricted to 1 cent on each package.

saying today that he doubted if Spain
wanted the prisoners brought back
there and that if transported in our
own vessels and without some agree
ment with the Spanish representa-
tives Spain would not refrain from
seizing them. 1t is a very knotty
problem which will be tackled by the
commissioners, arranging the capi-
tulation under the directions of the
