WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN a CON-
pENSED FORM.
Found q R~attlesnake Den-Bis
Mass of Reptiles on "a Rosebud
Homestead - will be Killed by
Dynamite Before Spring Comes.

A Sioux Falls special says: \ rattle
snake den has been discovered IN the
southwest portion Of Gregory County
and it is planned to use dynamite III the
effort to exterminate the reptiles before
they can scatter over the country next
spring.
Information in reference to the dlscoV-
cry Of the den was furnished by Iheo-
dore Musch, who has a homestead in that
portion of the Rosebud reservation which
about a year ago was coded by the IN
dams and opened to white settlement.
AT a point about 125 rods from the
dwelling house Of Mr.. Musch is a rock
about 7x14 feet in size. Beneath this
rock hundreds if not thousands Of rattle
snakes appear to nave taken up their
winter quarters. Along about midday.
when the sun is warm, the reptiles emerge
from their den under the rock for the
purpose of basking in the sunshine.
The den was discovered by accident by
Henry Kusure, a n%eighbor of Mr.. Musch'
who had occasion to pass in proximity
to the rock and discovered Il number or
the snakes in the immediate vicinity. y
brief investigation convinced him thar
under the rock were many more Of the
r~attlesnakes. He reported his discovery
to Musch, and together the W men pro-
ceeded to the den.
They promptly ~iuaugurated II warfare
upon the reptiles and in a few minutes
succeeded in killing twenty-five of them.
The following day they again visited the
rock and killed nine more Of the snakes.
Other visits have since been made. and
mp to last reports the two men had killed
~seventy-three of the rattlesnakcs.
The snakes average from three to four
feet in length. and those thus far killed
were found within Il space of 200 yards
Of the rock.
An investigation was made by poking
under the rock with a long pole. and it
was found that the number of snakes yet
living in the place is inestimable. When
the dynamite is secured it will be placed
under the rock and exploded in the effort
to kill every snake in the den.

FEAR HI STRIKERS
New Russian Outbreak Surpasses
the First.

A fierce blizzard and snow, which blew
down on st. Petersburg Thursday night,
prevented bloodshed in the Russian capt.
tai. The bitter cold, By forcing the strik-
ers to remain indoors, did more to pre-
serve order than all the Cossacks cavalry
patrolling the streets.
Heavy military reserves are stationed
in all the industrial districts, but up to
midnight there was no rioting. There
were ruInois Of collisions in various parts
of the city, but on investigation they
turned put to be false.
The social democrats had IN impress
i've response on the part OF all organiza-
tons Of workmen to their to
demonstrate their solidarity with the
struggle of their Polish comrades for au-
ton0my and to protest against the execu-
ton of the mutinous sailors at Cronstadt.
The men walked out Of all of the mills
md factories and the employees Of the
Baltic and Warsaw railroads, the print
ers and other classes Of laborers struck,
but the shops in the center Of the city
were not closed.
The situation has caused a renewal OF
the panicky feeling among the inhabit-
ants, whose nerves were already shatter-
ed by the events OF the last fortnight,
and hundreds of persons who had return
ed are again leaving for Finland. The
foreign residents are becoming more and
more alarmed and many of them are
hastily preparing to go abroad for the
winter.
In case the Finnish socialists should
join their Russian comrades and tie up
the Finnish railroad, the only egress
would be by water, and the freezing of
the Gulf of Finland "A fortnight hence
would close the last exit. The foreign
embassies share the public alarm and the
British embassy is advising the imme-
diate removal of women and children.
Count White and his cabinet were ia
session throughout the afternoon and
evening discussing the situation, and a
number OF prominent liberals were called
for consultation.
Grand Duke Nicholas was present part
Of the time. The possibility that the
government might be compelled, if the
situation grew worse, to declare martial
law in st. Petersburg was considered
but as far as has been learned no def
mite decision ia this matter was reached.

EDITOR AYRES DEAD
MARSHALLToWN MAN ENDS HIS
OWN LIFE.
Feared Loss OF Reason-Had Been
Woundcd In the Head I'm Fight
with Footpads n Year Ago and
Had Never Fully Recovered.

A dispatch from Marshalltown, Ia.
says that n profound sensation was
caused there Thursday afternoon by the
suicide of =. l.. Ayres, editor Of the Mar
shalltown Herald, a prominent citizen and
well known in the state. His dead body
was discovered In an clubhouse at his home
shortly after noon by his son. A revolver
at his side and a bullet wound In his head
told the cause of death. In his desk the
following note was found explaining the
reason for his act:
II have suffered on and on since | was
hurt. hoping to fully recover, but see no
hope now. as paralysis and perhaps loss
of reason, is threatened. If / cannot be a
help, 1 cannot become a burden"
About a year ago Ayres was attacked
by burglars as he was passing a dark
alley in Marshalltown. He grappled with
his ASSISTANTS, and was shot in the back
OF the head. The bullet made apparently
a slight wound, and the doctors said il
was not serious. Ayres said himself he
never fully recovered.
Ayres at one time was county attorney
OF Clarke County, and has published pa
pers at Atlantic and Knoxville.

WANTED CIVILIZED WEDDING
Indian Couples Remarked After
Living Together Many Years.

James Running Horse and Mary
Charging Crow and Frank Hunts and
Mary Hunts Horses, Sioux Indians. who
reside on the Rosebud reservation, were
married the other day by Rev. ~. IL.
Clark, a clergyman stationed on the res
ervation. The interesting feature of the
matter is the fact that the last named
couple have resided together for a period
of twenty-six years, having been mar
ried in the Indian custom. Recently they
became dissatisfied with the manner i'll
which they had been married, and decided
to nave a formal Christian ceremony per-
formed so there would be no question as
to the legality of their marriage. This
example will be followed 10y other older
Indians, who have raised large families
but have never been married in the
''white mans fashion. Frank Hunts
and wife have several grandchildren.

SWEEPING PosTAl. CHANGES
CorteIyou Rearranges System of
the ONCE.

A Washington special says: Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou Tuesday issued an
order of far reaching Importance, redis-
tributing the duties Of the four assistant
postmaster generals and affecting the
entire postal service. The order will car
ry into effect on Dec. 1 a plan Of the
postmaster general to consolidate the
related subjects.
The result will be to place under the
postmaster generals personal supervision
the direction of the postal services; under
the first assistant the postoffice personnel
and management; under the second as
sistant all matters relating to the trans
portation of the mails; under the third
assistant all matters Of postal finance,
and under the fourth assistant postmas-
ter general the rural free delivery and
miscellaneous postal business.
Thus by taking the division of appoint
ments, the division of bonds and commits
sions and division of city delivery from
the fourth assistant and giving them to
the first assistant the latter official will
nave under his immediate supervision the
entire personnel Of the p~ostoffices
throughout the country, including post
masters, assistant postmasters, clerks and
carriers Except rural carriers, and a
great deal of needless correspondence be-
tween the two bureaus, with serious de-
lays in action arising from II division Of
authority, will be avoided.
The Office Of the second assistant post
master general will continue TO have
charge of the great subject of the trans
portation of mails. and while its division
organization is not affected the transfer
to the first assistant postmaster general
of the control Of the movement of mails
within the jurisdiction of the larger post
offices is contemplated under the order.
The office of the third postmaster gem
eral is affected by the transfer to it of
the division of money orders from the Of
ice Of the first assistant. The third as
sistant already has the stamp division,
the registry division and the division Of
postal finance. and the addition of the
money order division will bring the prin-
cipal revenue producing branches of the
department under one head.
The division of the files and records in
that Office is abolished and its personnel
and work is assigned to the chief clerk
of the bureau, making that officials duty
conform to those of similar positions in
the other bureaus.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

Gov. Elrod Calls Upon the Teopis
OF the State TO Give Thanks.
Gov. Elrod has issued the following
Thanksgiving proclamation:
All the people of this commonwealth
have great reason to be thankful 1or
bountiful crops, for employment, ZOE
health, for happy homes, for blessings UNI
equaled, and for all the necessaries ana
many of the comforts of life.
In conformity with the proclamation
of President Roosevelt, i, Samuel III. III
rod, governor the state Of South Dakota'
do set apart Thursday, Nov. 80, l9oo, as
a day of thanksgiving.
All citizens are earnestly urged to cease
from their labors at least part of the
day, and TO meet in houses of worship or
in homes, and give thanks unto God.
Where there is sickness and soIsow,
let friends fail not to do and say things
which will cause the hearts of such I'M
fortunate ones to be thankful.
Brother ought to learn from brother.
Recently there was a fast day sacred to
foreigners. Every foreigner in our great
country sacredly kept the fast day Of his
native land. Possibly some of them did
it through fear. Be that MS it may, there
is a lesson in it for US. We ought to
keep Thanksgiving day for love of home
and country and in acknowledgement Of
divine blessings.
Let each citizen of South Dakota OBJ
serve the day as his best thoughts direct,
and as the day grows old let every citi-
zen of the commonwealth silently petition
the great father to continue his goodness
to us.
