Six Trainloads Make Journey on Very
Scant Provisions.
Waukeegan, ILL.,, Nov. 6.-Half fam

whole skins, six trainloads of Dowieites
arrived at Zion City this afternoon
from New York. There were 1,500 of
the faithful, and each wore a look of
mingled disgust and famine. Pell nell
the followers of Elijah II. rushed to
their homes or to the hotel to get food.
Atterward they told how. at the very
end of the New York crusade, they had
been buncoed. The commissary depart
ment, headed by Deacon Cotton, had
arranged with a New York caterer to
furnish lunches which were TO last eli

of pie, four sandwiches, two apples and
a bunch of grapes, this it was reck-

The Dowieites say they would have

been good. The lunches, however, We're
delivered at the last minute. No exam
ination was made, and when opened
the packages were found to contain
spoiled meat. stale bread, and rotten
apples. Accordingly, barring what
they picked up at Buffalo, the faithful
had little to eat all the way home.

GAS AT ~VERMlLLION.
Experts Claim Natural Gas, Coal and
Petroleum Abound Beneath City.

Petroleum Abound Eeneatn City.
Vermillion, S. D.. Nov. 1T would
be hard to make the citizens mere be-
lieye that q few weeks work in sink
ing a hole down into the earth a depth
of fom 700 to 1900 feet would be the
means OF securing a good flow of nat
ural gas. Yet several experts in times
unst nave said as much, and their
statements are sustained by Professor
Duke H. Bashford Of Sioux City, who
was here last week on a vacation trip,
and took occasion to look into condi-
tions somewhat. Professor BaShford
not only believes there is plenty of gas.
but untold quantities Of coal and pc
troleum.
Although a well at the university was
sunk to a depth of 1000 feet or more,
no signs of gas were a~pparent-not
even q flow of water could be secured.
This is easily explained by those VINO
claim to know their business. The
place to find gas is not on the blutfs,
but rather on the Missouri river bot
tom. to which, it is said, underlying
strata slopes n forms a basin or res
ervoir, where this product Is sure tc
accumulate.
In the opinion Of Professor Bashtord
all thai is necessary to do Is TO pu'
machinery on the ground and sink
well. He is sure that a venture or TINS
Jind would prove successful.

high in this section against thieves OF
this kind hat it will go hard with any N

amount of these depredations that AVE

is surprising. Thousands of dollars

been stolen In almost every county,
and in South Dakota alone not less
than SIG, 900 worth of such property
has been stolen in less than u sihgie
year. The owners of live stock are
beginning to realize that something
more vigorous than the ordinary chan

able that some action will be taken at
an early day.

Huron, S. D.. Nov, 7.-sales OF lands
for delinquent taxes have been held IN
the various counties Of The state the
present week, and in every instance
the lists were smaller than ever before
known, and the bidding was SLOW, n
few buyers were present. IN many
counties there were from one to four
townships where not a single tract or
land went to sale because of non-pay.-
ment of taxes. The lists of town and
city property were smaller h hereto
fore, and interest in all the sales ap-
pears to have been very small. rms
is an index of the prosperity OF the
property owners of the state, and com
parisons of the lists with those IN older
states will show that South Dakota Is
among the foremost In the matter OF
