shall have been voted on finally. Tho
debate was opened by Mr.. Lodge OF
Massachusetts. chairman of the COM
mittee on Philippines. He sketched in
a free hand way the reasons which had
actuated the majority in presenting the
measure and urged strongly it's enact

explained with some minuteness the
necessity for the legislation embodied
in the bill and concluded with an APP
peal to the senate and to congress TO
deal with questions relating to the Phil

clear Of vague words and wagner prom
ise5, which were likely 10 be misinter-
preted and to raise false hopes in the
minds of the Filipinos. In an impas-
stoned peroration he besought congress
not to give mortgages on an unknown
future.
Mr.. Rawlins of Utah delivered a Wig
orous speech in support of the minority
substitute, in which Independence was
promised to the Filipinos so soon as
stable government could be established
in the Philippines. His discussion of
the general Philippine question covered
much OF the ground that has been gone
over during the past two years.
Throughout he was accorded careful
attention.

two prisoners, Fletcher Battle and Moses
West, both sentenced to the roads.
Battle was convicted in Nash coun-
ty at the November. 1901 term of court,
of assault with a deadly weapon, and
given twelve months on the roads The
reasons given by the Governor in mis-
case are as follows:
THE prisoner is pardoned on the re-
commentator of the judge, the solicitor
and the attending physician. His health
is represented as very bad and his lon
ger Imprisonment will probably result
in his death and injury to the other pris-
oners.''
Moses West was found guilty of re-
failing without a license in Franklin
county last January and sentenced to
six months on the roads. The following
reasons are assigned by the Governor
for the pardon in the case:
This prisoner is pardoned on the re-
commentator of the county physician,
who certifies that he is incurable and
that further confinement in the county

pardon is also recommended by Mr.. L.
W. Bissett, who prosecuted the prisoner.

gwen in Pullen Park last night before
an audience of about five hundred people.
The show, which was entirely on the
vaudeville order, was first class and the
work done by Shore Acres and Artie St

five and ten years respectively, and tC

RANGE CATTLE MOVE EARLY.
Serious Grass Famine crowding Them
OFF the Ranges Very Early,

Sioux City, Aug. 1S.-The movement
of grass-fed steers to market from the
great ranges of western South Dakota
began this week.
This is a remarkably early start for
the shipping of S-year- -olds. but it is
said the country west of the Missouri
river is so congested that ii is an alb
solute necessity to sell.
So the stockmen are hurrying their
best steers to Chicago and Sioux City
that the exhausted ranges may rec,up-
crate and the serious grass famine be
relieved.
Solid trainload shipments We're made
the last of last week and the first
of this from Evarts, Chamberlain
Pierre. Rapid City and Belle Fourche.
The cattle went out over the Miwau-
kee, Northwestern and Elkhorn routes.
These shipping points surround the
range country and show the movement
is confined 10 the scene of the grass
famine.
1t is estimated there is $4,000, 900
worth of cattle on the ranges west of
the Missouri river or three-fourths of
million head. 1t requires an average
of about twenty acres of this range
grass to feed one steer. so this means
the army of cattle roaming the western
South Dakota prairies should have 15.-
100000 acres of grass. And this is far
more than there is.
In spite of the early shipments the
beeves that have already been mar
keted have brought from s6.5o@ $50.
and have weighed as high as 1900 and
HOO pounds. The animals are not fat,
but carry good flesh.
The range country is sadly over
stocked" said NJ l.. Fox. of Sioux Falls,
in the city today. Mr. Fox is in touch
with conditions in western South Da-
kota.
