and by fast men in the middle quarters
it was hoped a sufficient advantage
would be secured to permit Rouse to
shut out Fem in the closing, but the
team from the Falls City had made in
correct reckoning and their men were
not in the game for moment after
the crack Of the starters pistol. The
report Of the timekeepers showed the
time made by Spokane to be rs of a
second more than had required the
wsnatchee sprinters to cover the
ground which gave the count of points
to the team from the upper Columbia.
Pluck and Energy Counted.
The winning of the championship
by Lewiston Is not only accredited to
having superior men in the events en-
tered, but to the superior management
of the team and the intelligent plac-
ing OF the men In the events In which
they were proficient. 1t was the push
and energy after this that won the day.
The features of the day were the re-
lay race. the one-half and mile races
in which Kerns carried of third
honors, and secured for Lewiston all
that could be expected in these events.
The 100 yard dashes in the semi finals
in which Fem, Storer and Thompson
carried of first honors and the one,

| inspiring.

SOLDIERS BODIES MOVED.
Remains Of Victims at Wounded Knee
Taken to Fort Riley.

The famous battle Of Wounded
Knee, the last great struggle with the
Sioux Indians in this state, in Decem-
Der, 1890. has been brought vividly to
mind by the news that the remains OF
the twenty-nine soldiers who fell In
the engagement and were buried at
Pine Ridge have just been disinttrred
and will be shipped to Fort Riley,
Kan, from where the famous Seventh
cavalry started on its fatal errand.
This company has been fatal in In
dian warfare. With Custer at the
Little Big Horn it lost full five troops;
later in 1880 with General Howard in
his pursuit of Chief Joseph, the un-
ruly Nez Perce Indian, it lost two
troops; and again, just decade af-
forwards at Wounded Knee, it said
goodby to Captain Wallace and about
forty-five of it's men.

! STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
A PETRIFlED REPTILE
Found In Bad Lands Near Buffalo Gap
Weighs Over Five Thousand

Found In Bad Lands Near Buffalo Gap
Weighs Over Five Thousand
Pounds.
A valuable and interesting find"
was made by party of Custer county
people while delving in the bad lands
of western South Dakota, few miles
south of the little village of Buffalo
Gap.
The find was a huge petrified rep
tile. Many interesting discoveries Of
prehistoric animals and reptiles have
been made in the famous bad land re-
gion of western South Dakota, but In
the opinion of geologists this sur
passes them all.
The parties who found the reptile
went out with team and low wagon
and hauled it to Buffalo Gap, where
it now is on exhibition. Hundreds of
persons are daily examining the in
teresting object. 1t is shaped like
huge oyster, and in it's petrified state
weighs $500 pounds.
1t requires close inspection to dis
cern the reptilian coils and the head
of the snake, as it is incrusted with
white, limelike substance. Although
resembling lime, the white substance
is as hard as flint.
Judging from the size of the petri-
fed reptile, when 1t was alive, buff
falo calf or two would have just about
made it q good breakfast.

South Dakota Capitol Fund.

The capitol building fund is approx
imately $134,000, including money ex-
pended and on hand, either in treas
ury or due within few months The
smount secured from the sale of lands
to the present date is $109, ,197.9 80,
which, with approximately $4,000 in
the way OF lease and interests money
brings the total to Sill, ,174.76. There
has been expended to date on the
building $17,614.11. This means that
the sale of dozen more quarter Sec
tions between now and the first OF
January will bring the fund to the to-
tai sum of $150,000 provided by the
last legislature, and at the rate at
which the lands are being taken the
balance will be disposed of long be-
fore the first OF January.

The cornerstone of the new Benevo-

last week Four lodges are Joining
in the erection of the building and all
participated in the ceremonies, which
were conducted under the auspices Of
the Masonic lodge, j. J. Davenport

destroyed by fire in March. 1906. 1t
was owned by the Masons, Odd Eel

building is to cost $21,000, and will be
owned by the same orders with the
local lodge of Eagles added.
The Sixth cavalry band furnish mu-
sic. All the lodges had speakers pres
ent to elaborate upon the advantages
and benefits of fraternalism. An i'm

GIRLS CAMPAIGN IN BUTTE.

Miss Malcolm and Miss Bird Want to
Be Superintendent of Big County.
A unique campaign is being waged
for The office of county superintend-
ent OF Butte county. Two young la
dies are rivals, and both were former
ly superintendent, one, Miss Elsie NAL
colin, having served two terms In this
county, and the other, Susie Bird, hav-
ing held the Office in Meade county.
They are both experienced politicians.
In order to make their campaign
they will have to travel as much ter
ritory as does the governor of Massa-
chusetts in his campaign, for Butte
county is the size of Massachusetts,,
and could swallow Rhode Island and
not know 1t.
A large part of the northern part OF
the county is but newly settled. and
there are stretches Of country that
know no settlers. Over this country,
often alone, in little blackboard or on
( the back Of trusty cow pony for
Instances of not less than 200 miles
these intrepid girls must go, to meet
the voters OF Butte county. Because
of so many new settlers, the entire
county Of Butte Is in doubt, and
neither party claims it with any con-
fldence.

v. BRYAN WILL VISIT SIOUX FALLS
Elaborate plans Being Made for His Reception Of Cars
for Outside Visitors.

| William j. Bryan, the peerless lead
er of the democracy, will deliver two
speeches in Sioux Falls on October 18
one at 2:3O and another at 1880 in
the evening. He will not be at Sioux
City on that date, and hence those
who desire to hear him will come to
Sioux Falls on that date. Mr.. Bryan
speaks a.. Madison, Wis, on the 18th
at noon and will reach Sioux Falls at
/ D. m. on the 18th. He must be at
Lincoln, Neb., at noon on the 18th,
and has a speaking engagement at La
Selle, Colo, on the goth, SO that Sioux
City had no chance to get him, at
least not on this trip. Mr.. Bryan will
leave Sioux Falls on the Omaha "a
80 on the evening of the 18th and
will go through direct to Omaha.
L. S. Tyler appeared before the
MONDAY club to interest the club mem
bers in the matter of procuring moro
train equipment on that date. The
trains come into Sioux Falls from ev-
cry direction in good time. but 1t Is
believed that the present equipment
will not be sufficient to properly ac-
commodate the people who will want
to come Mr.. Tyler said that the mat
ter of securing excursion rates was
already under way, but that he would
like to have the club use it's influence
to secure more cars on the various
trains running into Sioux Falls on
that day.
Vice President Fred Whitehouse ex-
pressed the opinion that the business
men Of Sioux Falls would gladly do
anything possible to aid in the com.
pletion of the arrangements, and a
committee. consisting of c. M. Day,
E. A. Sherman and H. G. Sessions,
was appointed to take the matter up
with Commissioner Davenport.
| Mr.. Tyler expressed the opinion
that If proper train equipment was
secured Sioux Falls would SEQ q very
large crowd on the occasion Of Mr..
Bryan's visit.
The auditorium has been engaged
for that occasion, but it is the opin-
ion of the local Democratic commit
tee that this will not be large enough,
and movement is on foot among the
local Democrats to secure the big tent
which was used for the Populist ma
tional convention here In 1900. This
would accommodate about eight or
nine thousand people, while hardly
four thousand can be crowded into
the auditorium. 1t Is understood the

BUILD BLOCKS IN GRAIN FIELDS.
Postal Authorities Can't Keep Up With
the Builders Of Towns.

VO0I0l S%OIOOTlIlCS Vail \SCP w WIN
the Builders Of Towns.
The makers of geography in South
Dakota are hopelessly distanced. New
towns are springing up so rapidly that
even the all-knowing postal authorities
are behind the game. Where few
weeks ago only riotously rich grain
fields existed, are now to be found
handsome brick blocks. In addition to
the new towns on the Milwaukee and
Northwestern extensions, the Mime
apolis & st. Louis railroad has added
about twenty to the map.
The st. Louis towns have the ad-
vantage over the other new towns in
that they are located in country al
ready thickly settled. One of the most
remarkable in this respect is Florence,
about twenty miles northwest of Wat
ertown. Early last spring, Thomas A.
Way, townsite agent of the Minneapo-
lis & St. Louis, the advance agent of
the approaching railroad, inspected a
wheatfield, the property of one Chris
Stemwedel.
said Mr.. Way, and straightway the
property was bought by the railroad
and the wheatfield was plated.
Stakes were driven to show where the
streets were to be located, and shortly
after the building of the town COM
menced.
The progress of the town aptly IL
lustrates the romance Of town build
ing in South Dakota. Excavations
commenced, building material was
hauled laboriously overland, and in
some cases, buildings were moved bod
lily. Now Florence has it's handsome
brick blocks, it's cement sidewalks, it's
postoffice, it's newspaper and all the
other appurtenances of full grown
municipality.
The same thing was done at Wal
lace, then at Brentford and Cresbard,
and the same thing will continue un-
til all the other fifteen towns on the
main line of the Missouri River exten-
sion have been brought into existence.
The wheatfield soon loses it's identity
site man and magically evolves into a
city-all this because South Dakota
is growing-growing as it has never
grown before.
The success of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis towns is marvel in town
building. One explanation given by
South Dakotans is that the towns are
being built conservatively and the
lots sold by private sale entirely, a
unique departure in the methods usu-
ally adopted in new town building.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis is
pushing it's grade work to completion
on the western end Of the line and its
big track-laying machine will soon
have the steel laid as far as Conde.
From this point the machine will work
in the direction of Aberdeen on the
Leola branch and another machine
will work westward on the main line.
1t is planned to have trains running to
LIE Beau, the western terminus of the
road, by Jan. /.

General Order No. 3: The COM
mander of the department Of Ohio de-
clares the recent national encamp-

of the most satisfactory and agree
able ever held by the Grand Army,
and l can heartily agree to every
word he says. South Dakota as de-
partment, and we as individual COM
rades, returned home invigorated with
greater degree of loyalty. l was
pleased to notice the youthfulness OF
the boys In the parade. It was grand
scene, for it carried us back In men,
ory to the days when the nation was
rent in twain, and great lines Of men
faced each other in a gigantic strug-
gle to see whether we as nation
would live or die. It was great, be-
cause 1t brought before us the tri-
umph Of law and order in uniting us
as one people, with one country and
one flag, under the best government
on the face Of the earth. 1t gives
more and takes less from the people

A company has been formed in the
Black Hills by Cinnamon who have
gone into the cattle business. Some
Of them are Deadwood residents,
prosperous laundrymen, and the man
ager of the company, who has made
his home in and about Custer for eight
years, is one of the best known Chi
uamen in the West.
The company starts in business with
between 500 and 600 head of cattle,
which it will keep on the ranges near
here. The manager, known as eli
day." though his real name Is Fon
Kuhn, lives on one of the most beau
tiful ranches in the southern Hills,
and has home that for neatness and
comfort can hardly be surpassed. This
and his worldly welfare, however,
were due to his white wife, who died
only q short time ago, and whom he
cared for during a long, distressing
and expensive illness, with a gentle
ness and thoughtfulness that were
marvellous.
"Why should not be good to herr"
he said. Cali l know she taught me;
all am she made me-" 1t was his
marvellous riding which enabled HIM
to crafty one Of the many notioSs OF
his wife during her illness. He was at
Edgemont gambling, for he is a IA
nous gambler with the luck OF one of
fortunes favored, when word came
to him that his wife wanted straw
berries. The train had just pulled
out: she was in Custer fOrty-five
miles away; there were no berries
there, and it was night. All Of these
things mattered not to Fliday He
bought his berries, mounted his horse
and rode pellmeil through the night
to Custer to take the fruit to his wife.
Fliday and his wife, a middle-aged
German woman, older than htr ORR
entail husband, came to Custer eight
years ago from Nebraska. She had
been married before the Chinaman
crossed her path, and had one son
by her first husband. No father could
have been more 0ldulgent or kinder
to an own son than was F1iday to this
boy He INDUCED him in every way
possible; bought him expensive
clothes, gave him spending money and
paid $145 for a watch for him.
The cattle company has good
start in business, and bids fair to be-
come a strong institution. The other
members Of the company work at
their various trades nthe upper Hills
towns, while Fliday, in American
clothes, with his queue gone, and his
high-heeled cowboy boots on his feet,
rides the ranges, buying and selling,
always at profit.
