uIH TO SEE THE PRESIDENT
SIX CHIEFS WILL JOURNEY TO
WARRINGTON IF PERMISSION
Is SECURED.

Besle Fourche, Nov. Is. - AT Col.
Rogers headquarters at the military
camp. just outside of town, confer
enoe was held between sixteen Of the
leaders Of the wandering Ute Indians
and Gen. Greeley, who had come from
Chicago to inquire into the condition
of this rowing tribe Of red men.
Up0a one point the Indians are firm
ly united and do not waver-they do
not want to go back to Utah. They
claim not only that they could not
make a living on the lands allotted to
them, but also that they did not get
square deal" at the time of the allot.
me1E Gen. Greeley promised that he
would recommend that six OF their
chiefs be received by the president,
these men to be selected by them
selves. This was satisfactory to the
Indians. who were not yet ready, how
ever, to name the men whom they
wished to represent them. Gen. Gree
ley also gave orders that the Indians
and their stock should be furnished
with everything necessary to prevent
sufferiag during their stay at the post.
The band upon it's arrival at this place
was 426 strong and about 200 OF these
were bucks.

One Child Is scalded by Coffee and the

Within the last few days two South

deaths as the results Of accidents
One of them was the year-old child Of

Pherson county. The child overturned
a pot OF hot coffee on itself, and was
burned to such an extent that it died
about twenty-four hours after the ac

old sister were left at the house. They
climbed up to a shelf and procured :
match from a box. They lighted the
match and the box caught fire, the
flames speedily communicating to the
clothing of the little boy.
They ran out doors. where the girl
made frantic efforts to extinguish the
flames, but was not successful until
the boy had been fatally burned. Frank
Mann, a neighbor, CHANGED to be near
at hand and rushed to the assistance
of the children, but it was too late to
save the little fellow, who died soon
after.

DEMAND TWo-cENT FARE.
Legislature Likely to Make Reduced
Rate

When the executive committee and
officers of the South Dakota Travelling
Mems association held their meeting
in Mitchell the last of September, it
was agreed upon to take the initiatory
steps to secure some reforms or con.
cessions from the railroad companies
doing business in this state, looking
toward the granting of a two-cent fare,
the proper lighting and heating of rail-
road depots and the improvements in
other lines. A legislative committee
was appointed at that time to take
these matters up before the legisla-
ture. Whether these reforms will be
presented for legislative action or not
depends upon the result of big con-
ference which is scheduled to be held
In Mitchell.
At that time the representatives OF

AS the result Of the bringing togeth-

quests that are asked for and practl-
cally demanded by the travelling men OF
this state. The railroad representa-
tives are desirous of first discussing
the propositions made by the travelling
men to see If some amicable arrange
ment cannot be made whereby 1T will
not be necessary for the travelling men
10 take their requests before the state
legislature. The travelling men have

TO RUSH PRIMARY BILL.

Advocates Of Reform Legislation Want
Election Law Passed Without Delay.
From all indications there will be no
lack of ideas in the coming legislative
session in regard to primary election
and anti-pass legislation. A number Of
members will come to the session with
bills prepared for these two laws, and
out of the multiplicity OF ideas which
will be embodied, some measure which
will be accepted will be passed as
compromise.
An effort will be made to secure the
passage of the primary election bill az
an emergency measure, to put 1t into
effect at once, and to prevent any At
tempt to invoke the referendum on
the measure, thereby delaying it's go
ing into effect The supreme court al.
ready has held that such measure 10
not subject to the provisions OF the
referendum, as it is in effect by legis
lative action, and has gone beyond the
power to invoke a vote upon It. A.
the antipass legislation is not one
which will require such haste, 1t Will
not likely be pushed to an emergency
measure at least not until the close Of
the session.
Other measures which will be pre-
sented will be the Torrens system Of
land transfers, equal suffrage ana
amended liquor laws. With these Will
be the usual grist of miscellaneous
measures masquerading under the
guise of general laws, while in fact
they are special legislation attempting
to get through in the manner to avoid
the constitutional provision against
such legislation.

FINDS RARE PLANT At RISK OF LIFE
Prof Hansen of South Dakota Discovers Coveted Alfalfa
in Siberia

After twice risking his life, once
nearly losing it, in the interest of agri-
cultural science, Prof. N. e. Hansen OF
the South Dakota experiment station
of the department of agriculture, has
found in Northern Siberia an alfalfa
suited to the arid lands Of the North
west, where the winters are bitter
cold.
Prof. Hansen got on the track OF al
falfa a year ago, but was so late IN
searching for it that he was badly
frozen in Siberia. Despite this expert
ence he made another trial this year,
and has just informed Secretary Will
son that he has been successful and Is
on his way back with the seed.
Had Great Difficulty.
The department of agriculture,
through the bureau Of plant industry,
has been engaged for a number OF
years in encouraging the growth of al.
falfa in various parts of the United
States. Owing to the wide variation
In soil and climate in this country,
great difficulty has been experienced
in securing the type Of alfalfa suited
to our conditions. Productions OF new
alfalfas have been made from time to
time. Several years ago the depart
ment introduced an alfalfa from Turk
estan, which proved valuable In some
sections.
Visited Norway First.
Prof. Hansen visited Northern Nor
way, before going to Siberia. with q
view to finding new crops which might
be OF value in the cold, arid lands OF
the United States. The alfalfa he has
discovered has a yellow flower instead
of blue. 1t is native Of the dry
steppes Of Siberia and grows well
where the mercury falls to 80 or 40 de.
grees below zero. The country is ex.
ceedingly dry and yet the new alfalfa
is an excellent forage plant.
Prof. Hansen has secured the seed
and it will receive a thorough test In
the near future by the department.
