SELL THEMSELVES SHORT.
Farmers Ship Their Cream and Butter
Supply le Limited,

Aberdeen, S. D., March 17.-Good but
ter is scarce n high here and will
probably be scarcer and higher. The
reason for this is that almost the Bos-
ton price is being paid for butter fat in
separator cream, a considerable por-
ton Of which is shipped to M~inneapo-
lis, making it hardly worth while for
farmers to make butter unless they
have large daries. The shipment Of
cream from here reaches several hun
dred gallons per day at present and
there will be a considerable increase as
the eason advances.

meetings, the man who discovered and
actually panned out the. first bit OF gold
taken from the Black Hills by a white
man. He Will be invited to address the

stands, that Mr.. II. N. Ross dug a hole
to depth of twelve feet from which
he panned out considerable fine gold,

General Custer and the gsologist.of the
expedition and the report was taken to
Cheyenne. by Captain Jack Crawford
from whence it was sent to the Chi

Black Hills excitement was on. Mr..
Ross is still q resident of Custer. where
he has heid the office of deputy sher-

FROM FOUR STATES.
Travelling Men TO Have Convention
at Sioux Falla. r.

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 1S.-Apri.
4 and 5 have been selected as the dates
for the big convention to be held in
Sioux Falls by the travelling statesmen
of South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Ne
braska and other states for the pur-
pose OF organizing a consolidated asso-
citation, to be composed of all CONNER
cial travellers associations in the yari-
GUS northwestern states, for business
purposes only.
The organization will in no way con-
fict with the present travelling mems
associations in the states to be includ-
ed in the new organization, but will be
a separate and distinct association, the
idea underlying the movement being
that what cannot at present be secured
by any one of the present associations,
acting Independently, can and will be
secured by a strong organization COM
posed of members of all the associa-
tons now in existence in his part Of
the country.
the Commercial News, who is taking
an active interest in the movement for
the enrolling of all travelling statesmen
IN one powerful organization, reports
that the idea is being received with
great favor among the travelling men
or the northwest. From letters received
by him there seems little doubt that
TIE approaching convention Will De
one of thegmost largely attended even
held in South Dakota. The principal
objects to be attained by the new or
~ganization are the following:
l. A more satisfactory s~transporta-
ton system, such as an interchange
able 5000 or 1000 mile book at 2 cents
per mile.
2. Where needed, better railway SER.
vice.
i 8. The adjustment Of the present
system which renders it necessary for
travelling men to secure q permit be-
fore they are permitted to ride on
freight trains.
q. Better hotel service. anf the APP
pointment of a hotel inspector in each
state.
Only members in good standing of
the protective travellers association
vii, be eligible to membership in the
new organization. There are to be
no insurance features, and the mems
bership fee win be merely nominal,
probably 81.

TAFT'S REMARKS
START new IDEA
PLAN WILL PROBABLY BE SUB
MlTTED TO CONGRESS BY
WHICH LABOR SITUATION IN
PHILIPPINES CAN BE HELPED.

Washington, September 1. 1t is the
opinion Of the war department that
Governor Taft's remarks at the board of
trade banquet in Manila yesterday re-
specting the employment or labor on
plantations will form the basis OF a sug-
gestion to congress at the next session,
that the act extending the Chinese exclu-
sion laws to the Philippines be made. 1t
is contemplated to remove the ironclad
restriction which now exists and clothe
the Philippine commission with power to
regulate the entrance of Chinese labor.
The commission itself already has given
some attention to this subject, and 1t is
believed that Professor jerks investiga-
tions into the labor problem in the Straits
Settlement and elsewhere In the orient
meet with its approval
The proposed regulation, 1t Is said, will
look to a wisely regulated system of adj
missions Of Chinese as plantation labor
ers under sufficient bonds in each case,
under proper systems of Identification
and condition that they shall leave the
Philippines after certain specified periods
of time. Such regulations as exist in
Hawaii for the proper care OF the cool
les would be Incorporated. Governor
Tafts representations on this subject
yesterday were in answer to pressing de-
mands from the American chambers OF
commerce and employers of labor In the
Philippines for relief from the conditions
which, it is alleged, has hurt trade.

ernor of the Nation.

Ardmore I. T.. September 1.-The legis-
lature of the Chickasaw nation con-
vened today at Tishomingo and seated
Palmer F. Moseley as governor Of the
nation. Trouble has been expected but
precautions had been taken and the capi-
tol was guarded by deputy marshals and
Indian police. The Mose1ey faction
ganized both houses and the contest from

sworn in as governor and is now in
charge of the government Of the Chieka-
saws.

further trouble, but the authorities are

address today. In speaking of the recent

ment is organized to protect the weak
against the strong. If man be guilty
OF the foulest murder he is guaranteed
under our splendid charter to have his
case heard by a jury of his peers before
he is punished for that crime, and 1 can
see no good reason why a man who COM
mits crime by reason of unhappy cir
cumstances arising out of labor trouble
should not have an equal opportunity for
trial by jury
