st. Peter, Mimi, March 24.-Domes-
tic roosters in ST. Peter are losing caste
and prestige. The dominions they have
swayed are being usurped by Mongo-
liam .pheasants and these birds are
making things more than interesting for
their rivals of the barnyard.
About a year ago the officers Of the
Nicollet and lie sueur Counties Game
and Fish league, thru s.. F. Fullerton,
executive agent Of the Minnesota state
game and fish commission, obtained a
consignment Of Mongolian or Chinese
pheasants. The birds, which are pro-
tected by law until 1910, were
"planted'' in ravines and wooded
tracts near the city with the idea of
having them multiply and increase the
game supply Of this section, but they
are DESERVING their wild retreats and arc
intermingling with tame chickens in the
outskirts Of the city. =,
When one Of the pheasant roosters
appears there is always a battle for, the
leadership Of the flock, and in these the
intruders are invariably successful
They fight vicious1y, and experience has
taught the ROSTERS to accept the ap
proach Of one Of the birds with til,
gaudy plumage as a signal to take t.
the tail brush.
It's a new phase Of the "yellov
peril and one in which chicken fan
eiers who have had pet ROSTERS killet
by the pheasants can see little humor.

this respect is similer to the Wiscon-

is that it. will not go into effect till

Flandreau, s. D., March 24.-An in
teresting political fight is in progress
here among the Flandreau Sioux Indians
over the position Of overseer. Joe Car
row, the present incumbent, has held
the place for several years, much to
the envy Of those who consider them
selves as capable as he.
Charles Lawrence, progressive full
blood, needs the money for the support
Of large family, and went about to
try and secure the job which entails
little work and $25 per month remun-
Grafton. He went into the past Of
Joe IS life, and Joe retaliated. The two
records thus aired proved interesting
material for discussion among the In
dams. Lawrence tried in vain to stop
the gossip about him and finally ap-
pealed to Superintendent Pierce, Of the
Flandreau Indian school. That official
told him that when man entered
politics he might expect to hear a good
many things about himself that were
not true and some that were true, and
that as he had stirred the trouble up
himself there was no way that he could
help him. >
Lawrence then began to fight in
earnest and got up a petition to the
commissioner Of Indian affairs, asking
that joe Garrow be removed and the
position given to him. His reasons were
varied, but interesting. Joe then got
busy and got up a counter petition
signed by the same Indians that signed
the first one. joe document contains
the following denials: :.
First-That the. statements in the
said petition are false.
%Second-That the petition is signed
by number Of Indians not residing il
the state.
Third-That some Of the names were
secured thru Misrepresentation.
Fourth-That their names be not con
sidered in connection with the petition

MEASURE TO PROTECT
RIGHTS OF SETTLERS
Homesteaders in Black Hills Find
Cause for Rejoicing in Bill
:..... for Relief. s-jY

Special to The Journal
Custer, s. D., March 24.-The settlers
in the Hills, who have been SO fearful
lest they would lose their homes on ac-
count Of the recent rulings, are over
joyed with the bill which has recently
been introduced in congress for their
relief. An association was formed last
summer, for the purpose Of seeing
what could be done regarding titles to
settled land in recent years. This new
bill embodies, in the main, all that the
association requested. It provides that
the secretary Of agriculture may set
aside certain lands in the forest re-
serve on which entry may be made
under the homestead act, and if the
man who has already settled on such
lands has lost his homestead right, an
additional right will be granted him.
Besides making the entry and com.
plying with the law in other respects
these settlers must pay $3.50 an acre
In Pennington and Lawrence counties
no entry is allowed to be made excep,
such as may protect title to the lands
already occupied by the settlers. It il
further provided that the lands the
secretary may withdraw from the re-
serve, shall still be covered by the
quartz mining laws Of the United
States, and that no. title to the land &C
CURED under this act shall give title
to any stream within It's boundaries.
It will thus be seen that agricultural
| and mining men are equally protected
| and benefited by this bill; the one be
| ing allowed his home, the other being
| assured that the agricultural interests
shall not interfere with either the de
velopment Of mining ground OF tht
question Of water supply.

INDIANS DEVELOPING
4 SENSE OF HUM0R
Prof. Campbell Of Pipestone In
stitution Says Red Man Is :,
Quick to See a Joke.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Pipestone, Mimi, March 24.-''In-
dams have just as keen a sense Of hui
NOR as white men and can appreciate
joke quite as thoroly," says Professor
W. s. Campbell, superintendent Of the
Indian school here.
cit Is all nonsense to say that an
Indian has no idea Of humor,' said Mr..
Campbell. fsIn the district in which I
am working now, particularly, the In
dams take peculiar enjoyment in funny
remarks and applaud literally when
anything strikes their risibilities. They
are keen to comprehend the odd side
Of anything, and in that respect are
becoming more like whites every day,
tho naturally they are Of serious turn
Of mind.
"Our students are bright. They put
an enthusiasm into their work which is
remarkable. All of our students are
non-residents, but many. have attended
the Indian schools near their homes.
It is remarkable how rapidly the In
dams pick up the English language.
Soon Speak Good English.
81 have seen Indians who have en-
tered our school unable to speak word
Of English grauate in three or four
years, speaking almost perfect Eng
fish. I presume this is due to the in
terest they take in each other. They
help the new student to master nitric
acies which would otherwise puzzle and
annoy.
"Why does the government operate
this school and provide tuition and
board frees I presume it is for the
purpose Of paying back the Indian for
all he has been deprived Of in the com.
ing of the white man to America. There
is no sign of race hatred in the younger
generation, tho some rancor still ex.
! lists in the breasts of the old Indians
who remember the war days Of long ago
But the old Indians are fast disappear
ing from the face Of the earth and the
young Indian bears no malice.'
Mr.. Campbell believes that in an
other generation the Indian, as such
will have passed away and that it viii
not be long before it will be impossible
to distinguish him from the white man
