pEpARrMENr WANTS REFORMATION.

Washington, May Pin answer to her sug-
gestion that claim for compensation be lodged
against Turkey in the amount Of the ransom paid
for her release by the brigands, Miss Ellen
Stone has been requested to supply the depart
ment Of state with the necessary information
upon which to frame a formal application. It
appears that so far outside of the newspaper and
magazine reports Of Miss Stones picturesque and
sensational experience in Turkey the state depart
ment has very little official information upon
which to proceed at this stage, and until more
is supplied it does not feel warranted In pressing
the matter. e3

QUEEN CITY POULTRY SHOW.
Show Promises to Be the Best eve.
Held in Northwest,

Sioux Falls, S.. D., Jan. 30.-Nearly
1900 birds are on exhibition at the first
annual show Of the Queen City Poultry
association, which is being held in this
city this week.
The states of Minnesota, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin,
Illinois and South Dakota are repre-
scented in the exhibits. An interesting
feature of he exhibit are a number OF
English ring neck pheasants and a
number of pigeons of all known
varieties. There are also a number Of
pens of fine ducks The display of BAN
tams n other game birds is larger anC
better than expected.
Competent persons declare that fol
number, variety and the excellence OF
the fowls exhibited the show exceeds
anything of the kind ever held in the
northwest. Numerous valuable prizes
have been offered for the best exhibit
the list of premiums offered being a
very long one. The judges are Hon.
f. Il. S~hellabarger OF West Liberty, Ia,
and Hon. Theodore Hewes of Indian
apolis.
About seventy game birds are in the
exhibit, and each night those who de-
sire to, are enabled to see cock fights
between birds which are among the
most famous of their kind. Needless
to say, the birds are muti1ed during the
contests SO they cannot injure each
other.

TO ABOLISH FREE

Live Stock Industry Menaceo
by Bill Providing for Leasing
Of Public Lands.
BILL MAY c Q a LAW
Eastern Delegations Favor Bill and |.
Has Some Support in West
Cattlemen Will Fight
1t Bitterly.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 31.-Stockmen, and
specially those residing west of The
Missouri river and operating on the
open range are more than determined
% defeat the bill introduced in the
senate Wednesday by Boyland. n pro-
Tiding for the leasing of the public
ands in the western part of the state
and the adjustment of the free range
system which has heretofore existed.
h bill is being championed by ex-
Land Commissioner Eastman, who a
watched with some apprehension the
growing deficit in the school fund. Sec
'etary Stewart of the Western Stock
Growers association is doing his best
20 kill the bill.
The measure Is of vital import to the
i've stock industry of the state, and the
,attlemen state that in the event of it's
passage the live stock industry will be
so crippled that it will never recover
The large and small outfits alike will
BE discounted. BY the provisions of the
Dill 1t is trespass. subject to penalties,
Tor cattle to Craze upon the public
ands, and permission to do SO can only
DC obtained through a longtime lease.
Bill Has Many Friends.
Sentiment among the members SEEM
% be rather for the bill than against it.
It Is certain that most Of the eastern
delegations will support it, while it is a
natter OF some doubt whether even the
western and Black Hills members will
support 1t unanimously.
There was a movement to use this
Dill to bring the western members into
1ne against the proposed insurance
legislation, but the effort was not sue
,eSSful.
Action of the house committee on
public lands on the anti-free range bill
was postponed until Friday morning at
10 o'clock, when Secretary Stewart of
he Western Stock Growers association
will make his argument against the
dill, and David Eastman will champion
he measure, which was formulated by
him
Mr.. Eastman expresses the opinion
that the members from the range coun-
try will not go On record against the
bill, while some Of the members them
selves declare that the passage Of the
bill will mark the beginning of the end
IF the larger stock industries in the
range
If this latter version of the case is
sustained it is presumed h a the rail-
road interests will merge with the
.ange interests in opposition to the bill.
The fight will be formidable and
short lived.

BOONE MAY is WEALTHY.
Some Doubt Exists as to Whether
Noted Plainsman Is Alive.

Deadwood, S. D., Jan. 31.-If Boone
Nay, the once famous Black Hills ex-
press messenger, is alive he may be-
come heir to an estate consisting Of
considerable real and mining property
n a snug sum Of money in the bank.
MS property vas left by William May,
III died in the Black Hills three years
ago, and who is said to have been a
brother of Boone May. Boone May
was the most noted of all the messen-
gers who accompanied the treasure
coach on it's trips out of the Black Hills.
He was noted for his fearlessness and
,or the deadly execution he exhibited
n the numerous encounters with the
,oad agents that infested the region.
He left here before the advent Of rail-
roads, and the last heard of him by
Deadwood friends he was in South
America. He is said to have shot and
killed an officer of the Peruvian army
and, to evade the wrath of the Peru
Vans, went to Brazil and thence, to
Tenezuela.
