Shooting in South Dakota.

Webster, S. D., Sept. 19.-The hunt
ing season opened in this locality most
auspiciously, more so than for a num-
Der of years, chickens being plentiful,
due in a great measure to the strict
enforcement for the past few years
of the game laws. Opening day, Sep
TENDER /, witnessed a general exodus
of local hunters, together with visitors
from as far east as Boston, n in al
most every instance the limit was Sc
cured. Since hen the weather as we'll
as shooting has steadily improved.
Some sportslnen claim that, while the
birds are here in plenty, they are hard
er to find than usual. on account of the
rank growth of grass and weeds. Still.
a couple of hours in the morning and
evening is all that is required to secure
a nice string of birds. Duck shooting
proper has hardly set in, but all indi-
cations point to an exceptionally good
season. Copious rains have kept the
sloughs full. which is a guarantee of al.
abundance OF ducks. Already the large
bodies of water are covered with hun
dreds of ducks, mostly teal and spoon
bill. with a sprinkling of mallard. The
larger varieties, mallard, red and green
head, canvasback. ETC., will be in evil
dence with the first touch of cold
weather. In short, the chicken shoot
ing is good. and duck hunting will be
better, and the visiting sportsman will
be we'll rewarded by pitching his tent
in this section of Day county.

themselves of the Lao Ho, leaving an

fortify the town.

Manchuria railway communication has
been established between Dalny and
Yinkow and Yinkow and Liza Yang.
A train arrived at Mukden yester-
day containing Il score or more of
wounded men from General Mist

retiring toward Hing Ho. Meanwhile
the Chinese are adopting a sullenly an
tagonistic attitude toward the Rus

In court circles it is said that Grand

Now that it is almost certain General
Kuropatkin will retire to Hardin, keen
anxiety is felt regarding the attitude OF
the Chinese, who are known to be much
elated by h promise of Japan to give
Manchuria back to them. The COVER
nor of Mukden. who is stated to have

ly manifested politeness toward the

that eight out of a total of ifty-six Of
fcers of each regiment should be
chosen by lot and drafted to serve with

split up. 1t is impossible at this time
to obtain an authoritative confirmation
