CHASTITY ROSEBUD FIND
HEADLESS SKELETON OF BONE
STEEL MERCHANT LOCATED.
A. AeoUREzk, LOST IN STORM
The Head Eaten of by Coyotes on
the Prairie, the Whtened Bones of
Rosebud Citizen are Discovered.
Story of His Disappearance.


Bonesteel, S. d., April. S.-A head
less skeleton whose environment in
dicates it to be the whitened remains
of Alex Abourezk, a former business
man of Bonesteel, S. D., has just been
found on the windbeaten prajries of
the. Rosebud reservation and the cor
oner has gone to the scene to investi-
gate. The clothing, consisting of
overalls, dark trousers, striped vest,
half dollar and a letterhead bearing
the name, "Abourezk, Notions, and Gro
ceries, Bonesteel, S. d." goes to show
that the bones found on the plains
are those of pioneer Bonesteel mer-
chant who was lost in a storm about
two years ago and who had never
been located, though searched for by
many parties, since. 1t is believed
that the head had been eaten and car
ried away by coyotes. The ghastly
find was made by August Koopman,
while burning prairie five miles north
of Herrick, in the breakers of the
Milestone.
Aboure2k disappeared during the
fearful March storm of 1908. In com
pany with Elias Saad of Peoria, Ill.,,
he had driven thirty-five miles north
west of Bonesteel, on the reservation,
to buy horse. Returning they drove
into swollen Coon creek. Saad
jumped from the buggy and escaped
alive. The horses and buggy of
Abourezk were found later.

Boston.-The recent meeting of the
Massachusetts Medical society, which
was the 124th annual, was in two re-
spects the greatest in the long his
tory of the society.
The chief feature of the meeting
was the wonderful demonstration of
clinical and laboratory methods used
in medicine. in which simultaneously
25 specialists, including some of the
most renowned men in their line in
the country, participated.
The interest in that feature of the
meeting was the reason for the second
notable feature. which was an attend
ance considerably larger than was
ever before known in the century and
a quarter of the society's existence.
Between 1900 and 1400 doctors, of
whom more than so were women rep
resenting about every town and viii
lage in Massachusetts. sat down to
dinner.
1t has long been customary Mt these
annual gatherings to have an exhibit
of surgical and medical apparatus,
comprising the results of the latest
scientific discoveries and inventiYi
genius, but these exhibits have been
wholly or commercial design
This year the whole aspect was
changed. Under the direction of Prof.
William T. Councilman of the Har-
ward medical school a demonstration
of clinical and laboratory methods
used in medicine was organized and
he was able to bring together experts
of national and international reputa.

Oriuin of LIoyd's,

Two centuries ago man who had a
cargo to send to the Mediterranean
contrived to get rid CT some of the
risk by inducing friend to take an
interest with him. 1t was necessary
to write out a statement of contract
to which the guarantors subscribed;
this was the first underwriting. These
two men happened to be frequenters
of Lloyd's coffee house in London,
which was a favorite place for the
merchants of the town to gather to
discuss business or to gossip.
Others Immediately saw the advan-
tage of the scheme which their col
leagues had devised and on the next
voyage the risk was parceled out
among a large number of the patrons
of the coffee house. Out of this small
beginning has grown the great Eu-
ropean maritime agency, still bearing
the name of the humble coffee house
proprietor, and which not only writes
risks on vessels, but rates them and
publishes their arrival at every port
the world over. no matter how small

New York.-Orders we're received at
the New York navy yard recently from
the navy department at Washington
to remove the guns from the fighting
tops of the battleship Alabama
Orders have been issued also that
guns are not to be replaced in the
fighting tops of the battleship Indiana,
which is being repaired.
1t is reported that the guns are to be
placed by range-finders, and that sim
liar orders are to be issued regarding
other battleships
The news of the victory of Admiral
Togo in the battle of the sea of Jap
an is said to have influenced the de-
cision to put range-fnders in place of
the one-pounders which have occupied
the tops
The fate of the battle was decided
by the superiority OF the work of the
Japanese gunners while the ships were
still at long range The department
was informed that the aim OF the
Japanese gunners was due to the ef-
ficiency of the range-fnders in the
fighting tops, they being thus able 10

Railway Rate Legislation.

At the biennial convention of the
Order of Railway Conductors, recently
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions
were unanimously adopted voiclng
their sentiments as to tie effect of pro-
posed railway rate legislation on the
100000 railroad employ es, whom they
in part represented. These resolutions
endorse the attitude OF President
Roosevelt in cOndemning secret rebates
and other illegalities and commend the
attitude of the heads of American rail-
ways, who, with practical unanimity,
have Joined with the President on this
question" They then respectfully
point out to Congress the "inadvlsabil-
ity of legislation vesting in the hands
of commission power over railway
rates, now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country" be-
cause such regulation would result in
litigation and confusion and inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction in rates,
irrespective of the question of the abil-
ity of the railroads to stand the reduc-
ton, especially in view Of the increased
cost of their supplies and materials"
They further protested against such
power being given to the present Inter-
state Commission because 'thP pro-
posed legislation is not in harmony
with cur idea of American jurs-
prudence, inasmuch as 1t cOntemplatcs
that a single body shall have the right
to investigate, indict, try, condemn and
then enforce its decisions at the cost
of the carriers, pending appeal, which
is manlfestly inequitab.e."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation, II any, as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
| the low cost of transportation "is the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant Improvement and de-
velopment Of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
TO the value of intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast to coreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against legis-
lation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that "the freight
rates of this country average only two
per cent of the cost of articles to the
consumer, thus making the freight rate
so insignificant a factor in the selling
price that numerous standard articles
are sold at the same price in all parts
Of the country"

Costly Letter mEU

Milwaukee.-The little letter "e"
probably has cost Mrs. Peter H. Dea-
con, No. 2, $4,000.
After Peter II. Deacon, who she be-
lieved was her legal husband, died,
April 13, in Chicago, she made claim
for the $4,000 insurance he carried in
the Royal Arcanum. In making out
the papers she wrote her name as
Fannie Adeline Deacon. 1t appears,
however, that the original policy was
made out in favor of Fannie Adline
Deacon, the letter "e" being omitted.
Had there been no discrepancy be-
tween the two names the policy un-
doubtedly would have been paid inn
mediately, as there was no intimation
at that time that Deacon had two
wives and two families. There was
delay in correcting the claim, how
ever. and meantime Mrs. Deacon No.
/ had appeared. The courts will now
decide who gets the money. Mrs. Dea-
con No. resides in Somerville, Mass.

Washington, D. C.-Japan has once
more given evidence of her diplomatic
adroitness, and Russia, as might have
been expected, has missed the oppor-
tunity to turn large trick.
Russia having proposed Paris as the
meeting place of the peace commits
sioners, and Japan having proposed
Chefoo and neither being willing to
accept the suggestion of the other,
Japan now comes forward with the
suggestion that the conference meet
In this city.
The reasons advanced by the Japan
ese government for suggesting Wash
ington is that it is highly fitting in
view of the fact that the peace nego.
tiations were initiated by the Presi
dent, that America is neutral and a
friend of both powers, and that the
United States is geographically the
halfway house between Japan and
Russia.
Although Russia does not say so in
exact words it is clearly understood
that she looks with suspicion upon
pro-Japanese sentiment existing in this
country, and therefore she negatived
the Japanese proposal and offered as
substitute The Hague. This Is the
latest phase of the peace negotiations.
Paris and Chefoo have been elimi-
mated, Washington and The Hague are
under consideration.
In the view of the known sentiment
existing in the United States in favor
of Japan, it would have seemed an
adroit move on the part of Russia,
after having proposed Paris and had
it rejected, to have turned to Wash
ington, which would not only have
been taken as a compliment by the
American people, but as a fitting rec
ognition of the Presidents great SER
vices.
Russia, however, was not clever
enough to see this, while Japan was.
Russia has no special reason for 60
ing to The Hague, except the senti-
mental reason that links the name Of
the Czar with that the Dutch capital,
and if the conference must be held in
Europe, Japan has no special objec-
tion to The Hague.
In fact, Japan does not much care
where the conference Is held in Eli
rope, with the exception of Paris or
Berlin, and 1t is not unlikely that after
the requisite time required for dignity
the Japanese government will accept
The Hague or Geneva, with the Swiss
city as the last choice.
Japan has not much fear that local
sentiment" will have any influence
upon the negotiations, but evidently
Russia thinks that the team playing
on the home grounds will have the ad-
vantage.
The President has held a lengthy
conference with Count Cassini, but it
was simply to hear from him that
Russia proposed The Hague and to ad-
wise him that Japan proposed Wash
ington.
The President himself refrains from
making any suggestion as to the place,
but advises both governments for their
own interests to get together as quick.
ly as possible. He is sensible of the
danger of delays in the preliminary
stage of the negotiations, and for that
reason is anxious to see the wheels
set in motion.

Fishermen Want Warshlp.

Gloucester Nashville the fish.
ing interest is practically unanimous
that a warship should be sent to the
treaty coast Of Newfoundland to pro.
tect the rights of American fishing
vessels, some believe there is no i'm.
mediate necessity for so doing.
Those who advise a waiting policy
believe that Newfoundland intends to
gradually back down from her posi-
ton debarring all American vessels
from bait and other supplies Of that
colony They believe that no trouble
will be experienced in the matter Of
securing bait for the fleet.
What they are looking forward to
with concern. however is the attitude
of the Newfoundland fishermen on the
herring question late in the fall and
the early winter.
1t is claimed here that under the
treaty Of 1878 the American fishing
vessels have the right to saine their
own herring supply. They base their
anticipations of trouble on the events
which led up to the Fortune bay riots
in 1S77-7S.
Since then the Americans have al
ways employed the native fishermen
and no trouble has resulted.
Now it is proposed to again seine
herring in Newfoundland waters. In
order to obviate another Fortune bay
uprising it has been calculated here
that the presence of an American war,
ship in the herring districts where the
Americans have a right to take fish
will have a salutary effect on the ma,
tives and prevent any interference.
To this end the plan is to have a
U. s. cruiser dispatched quietly to
those waters a little later to remain
until all possibility of trouble is past.
This of course presupposes that the
general government will lend favor
able ear to the plans. Efforts have
been made to keep the matter quiet,
but the details of the proposition have
gradually come out.

GAS AND WATER.
rs ONE AS NECESSARY AS the
OTHER2
Citizens OF Large cities Say 1t Is.

New York, June 13.-In the recent
agitation here about the price of gas,
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every resi-
dent is as dependent upon a supply Of
gas as upon Il supply Of good water,
1t has come to pass that the day la
borer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account Of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, is
cheaper better and more satisfactory
than any other kind of light. Gas
soils at e1oO por thousand cubic feet
in large cities, and from that to as high
as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a.set-a-
lene) and each user makes his own gas
and is independent of Gas and Electric
Companies Acetylene is more per-
feet illuminant than the gas sold by
the big gas companies in the cities, and
the cost to the smallest user is about
lhC SIulN dlCht VI SAtJ So0 ~ OO NNANS
per thousand.
Acetylene Is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily ne
cessities.
The light from an acetylene fame is
soft, steady and brilliant, and in quail
ity is only rivaled by the SUMS rays.
If water and a solid material known as
Calcium Carbide are brought into con-
tact, the immediate result is the max
ing Of this wonderful gas. The genera
tlon of acetylene is so simple that eX-
perience or evenapparAtus is not neces-
sary to make 1t. If it is desired to
make it for practical lighting, and to
keep it for immediate use, then small
machine called an "Acetylene Genera
tor" is employed. There are many re-
sponsible concerns making acetylene
generators. In practice this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds or entire cities and
towns in the same manner as ordinary
city gas. Acetylene is the only salts
factory means Of lighting isolated
buildings located in the country or
suburbs at distance from city gas OF
electric plants.
