AS every man in Battery M had
uame to answer at roll call, so every
horse at every gun had name to be
known by, and some of them answered
as readily as the men. In the three
gun battery at Fort Culver, stationed
there to awe and keep the Indians IN
check, gun No. had piece OF horse
flesh so perfect that he was one OF the
sights Of the fort. He had been nam
ed Eureka when first coming to The
battery in Chicago, and a bit OF ro-
nance had been woven into his his
tory
Soldiers and citizens who wondered
at seeing so beautiful horse in the
camp OF the artillery were told that he
belonged to handsome young lady IN
the Windy City whose father had fail
ed IN business, and that Eureka had
been turned over to the creditors
along with everything else. 1t was
added that the young lady was engag-
ed to rich man in New York at the
lime OF the failure, but that he cooled

her heart and she committed suicide.

THE RACE QUESTION
Bobs Up in Southern ln,nigra-
ton Conference
PLANS ARE DISCUSSED
Two Sessions Of immigration and
Quarintine Conference at Nashville.
Given Over to Discussion by Repre-
sentatives Of Every Section Of the
South.

Nashville, Tenn, Special. = The
Southern immigration and Quaran-
tine Conference, aside from the ap-
pointment Of committees, gave the
day over to speech-making by men,
representative Of every section of the
South. While the conference, which
was presided over by it president,
John I. Cox, Governor Of Tennessee,
was called primarily for the consid-
Grafton Of matters pertaining to inn
migration and quarantine, the action
of the Federal government in taking
charge Of the quarantine two years
ago, eliminated almost entirely the
subject from discussion and the dele
gates devoted the time to consid-
Grafton of methods necessary to seeur-
ing proper share Of the immigrants
arriving in this country from froreign
shores.
4 The discussion had not proceeded
far when the race question came to
the fore and occupied the attention
OF the delegates throughout the two
sessions Of the day. The sentiment
of the delegates on the negro question
was manifest early in the day in the
burst of applause which greeted Gov
ernor Cox's statement that the South
must deal with. the negro that the
negro must be protected and his
rights preserved, but that political
rights must be taken from the low
and vicious Of the race. This senti-
ment was further endorsed when Gov
ernor Hayward, Of South Carolina,
who made the principal speech Of the
day and was given an ovation, declar-
ed that immigration would yet solya
the negro problem.
The purpose Of the conference is to
bring about more equitable distri-
button of the immigrants who reach
the United States from foreign shores
The idle negro class causes some APP
pTchension in the minds of immi-
grants, according to those believed to
be we'll Informed, and this operates
against the South receiving what It
thinks is its proper share Of laborers
from abroad Various plans are sug-
gested for Kidding the South of idle
| negroes, and the race question there.
fore was early injected into the dis
cusion.
Governor Cox, who is the prema-
nent chairman Of the conference, cal
led the delegates to order and well
co.neG them. In touching on the ne
gro question Gov. Cox said:
"The problem must be settled by
the South, but the aid and sympathy
Of The North is essential. If they
xiil not help u.s." continued the Go
,rrn.r, 93if they will not repeal the
14th and 18th amendments to the
constitution, then let us here resolve
that. we will write In The fundamental
law Of every Southern State, a guar
antee to the negro for protection Of
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness, but forever denying to the
vicions and ignorant all political
r:r}lts.' (Applause.

SNOW IN THE SAHARA.
Many Desert People Saw It for the
Fist Time in Their Lives
Last February.

Snow fell in the Sahara, south Of
Algeria, in February last. 1t was
the culminaticn of period OF severe
weather, during which the cold was
excessive and courier service was IN
terrupted for many days.
Then, on February 5, came the first
snow, and the inhabitants Of the
northern GASES could not believe their
eyes, Many of them had never heard
Of snow before.
Snow fell at intervals in one Or an
other part of the Algerian Sahara for
twelve days, from February to Feb
ruary 16 The region that was snow
covered lay between 30 degrees and
% degrees north latitude and between
degrees and 6 degrees east longi-
tude.
In shape 1t is nearly square and en-
braces more than $4,000 square miles.
In other words. the snow mantle COW
ering part of the Sahara was spread
over region a little larger than the
State of New York.
Some of the principal French posts
in this region are Ell Golea, Fort Mac
Mahon, Timmimun, Wargla and Lag
huat, and the French Government has
received accounts of the strange
event from these and many otner
places. At Ell Golea snow fell con-
tinuously from a. m. to p. M on
February 5 and at intervals through
out the following day.
The total depth was only about
three inches. In most regions the
snowfall was only two inches or less,
and remained on the ground only q
few hours.
Inhabitants suffered severely dur
ing this snowy period They had
never felt anything so cold as this
snow and the bo1der persons who
picked up handfuls Of it were salts
fed with one experiment.
In FL, Golea the Oldest men said
they had never seen this phenomenon
before. The people were glad enough
when it disappeared and were much
surprised to find that the verdure OF
their oases had scarcely been impair
ed by the strange visitation.
Meteoro1ogists are much interested
il this news from the Sahara. Other
strange freaks of the weather have
occurred there in recent years, such
as cloudbursts, deluging considerable
regions and turning the dried uE
wadis into raging torrents. New

Great Herds Will Be Succeeded by

The first train load Of Southern cat
tie for the ranges west Of the Mis-
souri, river to arrive this season has
passed through Aberdeen for Evarts.
They were from New Mexico. Two
more train loads are expected within
two weeks. Owing to the rush Of
settlers to Butte county, the number
Of feeders on the ranges this season
may not be as large as formerly, for
the extent Of the range will be ma
terially curtailed. Settlers are pour
ing into the Butte county lands at the
rate of hundreds day, and the cat
tlemen already are preparing to seek
other ranges. The newcomers quite
generally will take bunch of cattle,
horses enough to till the soil, and a
few dozen hens with them to their
land. Probably as many cattle will be
raised in Butte county under the new
regime as at present, but they will be
in small herds instead Of the large
numbers which now roam the ranges.

10 MAKES GOOD ROADS.
Six Hundred Indians Are Working for
Wages on Reservation.

The Indians on the Cheyenne river
reservation again are at their road
work for the summer, about 600 of
them being employed this year. The
workmen are paid in cash at the end
of each month, and for this month
about $4,000 will be paid. while the
payment for next month is estimated
at $4,000.
For the year ending July 1 the total
amount paid to the Indians for road
work will be $4,000. This is paid
to them in lieu of government rations,
the worllmen waving that bounty
when they go to work, and while some
of them were slow to make the
change, it worked so satisfactorily
from the beginning, the number of
workmen is continually increasing
This work gives the Indians ready
cash with which to purchase supplies,
which they spend where they please,
and puts them in line of earning their
living by labor, and at the same time
places a fine system of highways all
over the reservation. AS the gulches
are filled in along the lines Of the
highways, it also locates pools OF
water at points all along their roads
