ON BELLE foURCHE RANGE
omaha Visitor Says Cattle Have Win
tered Better There Than
Elsewhere.

Cattle have wintered better in the Belle
Fourche range district than at any othec
point in the northwest" said L. e. Parrish
Of Rapid City, s. D., last night at the Mer-
chants I'VE have had less snow than
any other section that know of. The
ranges have kept open and the cattle look
as well as they did in November. The
only trouble we have had has been the
cold, which compelled us to go out on tho
ranges and cut the ice from the tanks.
ponds and creeks, that the stock might
get water The only feeding we have had
to do thus far is the young cattle and
weaklings. We are beginning to expect
the inevitable cutting up Of the ranges by
the influx of homesteaders. The Belle
Fourche district is about the last of the
free range territory in the northwest. The
komesteaders are settling in the valleys
and fencing In the water courses, which is
a great inconvenience to the cattlemen.
There is considerable irrigation along the
valleys and much alfalfa is raised. No,
the taking OF the water from the streams
for irrigation purposes is not diminishing
the water supply"

Patrlzi, one OF the most disttA =.
lowers OF Lombroso's school, and
At the Modon university. has juse
cluded a series Of most interesting expt
ments on Musilono, the notorious brigano
and murderer who is immured in the
living grave Of the Porto Logone prison,
from which he is destined never to emerge
alive The result Of the professors in
vestigations fully confirms Lombroso's
theory concerning the born criminal
Musi'ono is not only left-handed, but his
whole nervous system lacks equilibrium
Prof. Patrizi found many Interesting
sensorial abnormalities. 1he shape OF the
hands and the complete development Of the
wisdom tooth are also characteristic
features Of the criminal.
Musilono has lost all OF his former self
assurance and arrogance. The months OF
solitary confinement which he has already
passed in the semi i-obscurity OF a sub
terranean cell have already changed his
proud spirit. He has relinqulshed all hope
OF ultimately recovering his liberty and has
had to be watched continually, as he has
already twice attempted TO commit suicide
by dashing his head against the walls Of
his cell. Symptoms OF tuberculosis have
developed in the prisoner, whose formerly
strong constitution is also undermined by
acute anaemis. The prison doctor is Of
the opinion that unless Musilono Is re-
moved from his present place OF conhne-
ment he will not survive many weeks
longer.

denied today that the striking iron workers
had refused to inform the officers of the

Our strike was not declared in sympathy
with the hoisting engineers. For some
time the American Bridge company has
been breaking faith with us wherever the
union Is weak II has been looking for
trouble for some time. On many jobs they
have had our men do all the hard and
difficult work and as soon as easy work
was reached have laid us on and put on
cheaper men The claim that we have
made no effort to settle our grievances with
them is untrue
The president OF the International asso-
ciation came here last week from Chicago
for the purpose of settling our troubles
with the company He went to the oftice
of the company to try to arrange meet
ing with the officials Of the American
Bridge company, but they would not meet
him.
1t was also said that no more meetings
OF the men are to be held for the present;

ARMOUR TRIES AEROCRAMS
Hopes to Do Away with Numerous Leased
Telegraph Lines.
PROPOSES MAGIC MESSAGES TO OMAHA
Experiments In New system start IN
Chicago on wednesday, which
IL Successful will InRuEu-
rate wireless Age.

CHICAGO, March S.--Magic messages,
such as Marconi proposes to send flying
through air from continent to continent,
may soon connect Chicago with Omaha, II
experiments ordered by Armour Co.
prove successful.
Packing, 1T seems, needs many a sudden
or7er and many an alteration in orders
once sent, for markets change, prices go up
and down and money may be made OF lost
according as information can be speedily
safely and secretly dispatched. In the past
such orders have been sent over numerous
leased wires costing the firm some 500 900
annually n rent, and further heavy sums
when storms tear down the wires, break
the poles or interfere with the current.
In the hope Of saving all this the De
Forest Wireless Telegraph company is to
make a series Of tests OF their system be-
tween the stock yards and the company's
head Offices in Chicago, seven miles away.
Should these experiments prove successful,
the wires connecting Omaha. Kansas City,
s.. Louis, Sioux City, Allegheny, Philadel-
phia, New York and Boston will be done
away with and the wireless age definitely
inaugurated.
Experiments start wednesday.
The first experiments will be made next
wednesday, when Mr.. White and Mr. Gal
braith, agents Of the company, arrive from
| New York
Poles will be erected on top Of the high
est building in the yards and on the roof
of the Home Insurance building, with wires
| leading 10 them from the instruments in
| the rooms below. The only obstruction will
| be the Halsted street bridge. and the rep
resentatives Of the company say they are
! confident they can overcome this obstacle
! There are at present twelve wires be-
tween the yards and the Offices, and IL the
new instruments prove practicable they
will replace the old ones Immediately Their
1t will be only matter Of time to extend
the system, connecting all the branch
houses with the home ONCE.
Beyond doing away with the cost of the
wires, the new system would afford greater
security, as 1t would be private, direct anC
certain, in that It will be controlled by the
company's own men.
The De Forest company already has
contract to install wireless instruments oil
the Twentieth Century train between Chi
cago and New York, and experiments mad
in that line are said to have demonstrates
the practicability Of the wireless system
for business.
Should the plan succeed, II is said all tn
big concerns in the Countrywide the Ar
mour house, which has nearly 800 branohe
