OKLAHOMA BUFFALO RANCH
Success Of "Pawnee Bill' in Raising
the Nearly Exterminated
j, Animals.

Some three or four years ago Pawnee
Bill bought up all the loose buffalo OBJ
tainable and declared that he would
raise buffalo meat for the market. The
buffalo ranch has been success, as
there is now large bunch of as fine
young buffalo as ever was seen being
eornfed, and they will be slaughtered
and shipped east for the holiday trade,
reports the Pawnee Courier-Dispatch.
An experiment of crossing the buffa.
10 with Galloway cattle will be made
which should bring an animal far sur.
passing the genuine buffalo, as the
Galloway animal is of itself very hand
some, with a long silky coat and a
kindly disposition, which should tenn
per the fiery disposition of the genuine
buffalo, as we'll as improve the color
of the robe. The average price pei
pound of buffalo meat Is about $1.25-
the loin and short ribs bringing $1.5C
Der pound-while the plate and stew
bring one dollar. The robe brings SIS;
the head, when mounted, readily bring
SIS to $3.50 each, according to size and
quality. Both the heads and robes are
very handsome when taken at this sea.
son of the year, as they then have
their heavy winter coat.
Oklahoma in years past Was the par
adise of the buffalo. Here is where the
heaviest growths of buffalo grass are
found, which to the buffalo is equal to
the richest timothy to our domestic
animals. Pawnee Biirs ranch lies in
the heart Of this excellent range, and
he has proved beyond q doubt that the
buffalo can be raised for slaughter at
a profit.

"Doo Trot" a Mfsnomer.

dogs have a variety of gaits," said
the boss of the kennels, therefore
can't understand why it is that peo-
pie who describe a certain style OF
locomotion always call it a dog trot.
Judging by the universally OF that
expression, a body would think that
dog never moves any other way
than on a trot. But he does. All the
gaits belonging to other four-footed
animals are also his. He runs, he
lopes, he even racks and PAGES, so
when a person in hurry falls into
peculiar kind of canter, there would
be just az much sense in speaking
OF his gait as dog run or dog gal
lop, once in a while, as always to call
1t dog trot."

ZIEGLER MINE VICTIMS.
Explosion Yesterday Killed 3O-Rescue
Work is Proceeding.

Some fifty miners were entombed yester-
day in Joseph Letters NINE at Zegler Ill,
by terrific explosion of gas. Up to last
night fifteen bodies were recovered, and
more than thirty of the buried men are
said to be dead. The explosion, 1t is said,
was due to the fact that the Letter mines
are not worked on Sunday. thus allowing
sas to accumulate in the lower workings.
When between thirty-ffve or forty miners
had descended into the mine yesterday 70
resume work a terrific explosion blew tho
mouth of the mine high into the air. Ono
of the steel cages was blown to the sur.
face from the bottom Of a 600-foot shaft.
The shock of the explosion was felt at
Benton, twelve miles northeast of Zeigler.
A teamster driving along a road half a
mile from the mine was covered with fall
ing cinderS, and debris covered the floor
of his wagon half an inch deep.
One miner was killed and four were Sc
verely injured at the mouth of the shaft in
which the explosion occurred
The work of rescue was begun al once
by miners who were arriving when the ex-
plosion took place. But the main shaft was
demolished, so that rescue work had to be
carried on through the air shaft. The
bodies of the dead are so blackened that
they cannot at once be identified.
An all-day investigation tends to show
that the catastrophe was due to the acct
dental explosion of accumulated gas. Supt,
Hurd of the Letter mine last night esti-
mated the number of dead at thirty-four,
and possibly thirty-nine. The wounded to-
tai eight.
1t transpires that there were two ex-
plosions close together. The first explo-
sion took place in the air shaft, and was
followed by a much greater upheaval IN
the main shaft. There employed in
the mine only $50 men, 120 being at work
days. Four cages, each containing about
ten men, of the day force, had gone down
into the mine just before the catastrophe

are woven horizontally in the material with

Both velvet and satin flowers are USED

A cablegram from Antwerp says: The

Santo Domingo and the United States, and
will protest against the plan.
The proposal to deposit the money from
the customs collections in an American

pleted is not satisfactory to the Belgian
bondholders. who demand the payment of
$27 600 a month to them in accordance with
their contract with the Santo DOMINICAN

Soft white satin-none too subtle in this
instance as some foundation was required
for the heavy pearl ropes-made the gown.
1t was exceedingly plain and was provided
with a long train. and all around the bot
tom there was a grouping of narrow folds
and frills of the satin. AT each side of the
front, again over each hip, and then twice
in the back-the first high and the second
grouping low on the train-were arranged
pearl-studded ornaments from which the
looms of gems twice festooned. Where the
ends met under the large ornaments strings
and pearl-fringed tassels fell almost to the
feet.
Across the bust was fastened a shield OF
pearls with radiating ropes caught up on
each shoulder, and the back of the round
decolletage was becomingly completed with
a network band of the same jewels. The
sleeves fell so that they left the upper part
of the arm bare and lace founces were

An evening gown festooned with ropes of
pearls is rather a daring novelty. 1t was
the style of ornamentation employed, how
ever on the costume sketched on this page
by the pen of an artist in Paris, and from
the point of richness, elegance and beauty,
it is as lovely as anything accredited to
our designers. This cleverly initiated gem
was a favorite with the woman for whom
the gown was made, and it's lavish use was
due, no doubt, to the fact that cleaning
pearls were unusually becoming to her.
