Throughout Cuba game is abundant.

called. the wild pig, the wild dog and
the wild cat Of the island. Wild fowl,
especially ducks and pigeon, abound,
the former crossing from the southern
states during the winter season, while
the latter remain on the island the year
round. Pheasants, quail, snipe, wild
turkeys and wild guinea fowl are also
game birds, such as the perdiz, tojosas,
rabiches and the guanaros.

Cuba has more than 200 species Of
native birds, including those already
mentioned as game birds, many pos

but those with song are rare.
In swampy localities crocodiles and
American alligators (caimans) are
found. and, although these frequently
grow to an enormous size, but little
attention is paid to them by the ma

Chameleons, small lizards, tree toads

HEARD ON THE BOURsE.

New York, Oct. 26.-Fhe measure of
relief for money requirements pro-
posed by the secretary of the treasury
was not such as was expected. Addi-

calculated to help fill the demand for
the interior circulation, offers no basis
for extension of banking credits, such
as would be provided by the additional
banking reserves by releasing gold or
legal tenders from the treasury, al

of loan contraction will be limited, ow-

The stock market was again in the
hands of its friends, the bears; every
body is bearish, even J. W. Gates, the
best bull on earth, who is telling his
friends to get out of the long side and
to go short for turn, etc, etc. ]. w.
says they will shake out the tailers on
Union Pacific at $50; if that don't do it
40 will. He says Steel will go to IA
or 40, cannot tell which, and copper
will be a purchase at 105, and he will
then advise you to average at par and
you will get sick at 90 and want to
throw it overheard. He says st. Paul
will sell at 225, but thinks it will see
$50 first. He told one of his best
friends that il he was bear to sell
out his stocks and go short; if he was
a bull to keep his shirt on and buy
some more to average up about ten dol
lars share lower down; that he him
self expected Hughes to be elected and
stocks go up to $40 before Christmas.
and he is going to stick, but he was
afraid of the other fellow. and that he
would sell out or go short. and upset
his calculations He thinks Tennessee
Coal is cheap at 200. but may sell
lower; that Republic preferred is worth
more than Steel preferred. 1t is earn
ing more money and has not water in
it; also says Republic common will
cross Steel common and keep ten dol
lars ahead of it; that Colorado Fuel is
worth $50 and will sell there some
time, but in the meantime he cannot
be responsible for what Morgan and
Rogers will do. In fact G. w Perkins
FATHERS bears this view of Gates out
when he tells his friends that Steel
will only pay one-haIf of one per cent
on Tuesday next. and Hartman has a
real fight on hand to get rid of Fish

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

SuS 0OllOSTS Ot lOWHS.
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 a 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
Stemwedel.
"This will make a good townsite,"
said Mr.. Way, and straightway the
property was bought by the railroad
and the wheattield 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 H.
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
brick blocks, its cement sidewalks, its
postoffice, it's newspaper and all the
other appurtenances of a full grown
municipality.
The same thing was done at Wal
lace, then at Brentford and Cresbard,
and the same thing will continue I'M
til all the other fifteen towns on the
main line of the Missouri River extern
sion have been brought into existence
The wheatfeld soon loses it's identity
under the manipulation of the town
site man and magically evolves into a
city-all this because South Dakota
is growing-growing as 1t has never
grown before.
The success of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis towns is a 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 Condo
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. 1.

GIRLS CAMPAIGN IN BUTTE.
Miss Malcolm and Miss Bird Want &c
Be Superintendent Of Big County.

Miss Malcolm and Miss Bird Want to
Be Superintendent Of Big County.
A unique campaign is being waged
for Che 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 it.
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 a trusty COW pony for
distances 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

". ]. BRYAN Will VISIT SIOUX FALLS
Elaborate plans Being Made for His Receptionpenty Cars
for Outside Visitors.

William ]. Bryan, the peerless lead
er of the democracy, will deliver two
speeches in Sioux Falls On October 10
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
/ p. m. on the 18th. He must be at
Lincoln, Neb., at noon on the 10Th,
and has 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
1890 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 men,
bers in. the matter Of procuring more
trains come into Sioux Falls from ev-
cry direction in good time. but it 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. c. Sessions.
was appointed to take the matter up
with Commissioner Davenport.
Mr.. Tyler expressed the opinion
that il proper train equipment was
secured Sioux Falls would see 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
