Beauty of Quarters Will

Show Places.

In the field OF architecture no greater
Improvement has been made in recent
years than in the building of banking
houses.
The banking room that was considered
fine a few years ago is only mediocre
now. The reason for this is obvious.
The bank directors are business men
and know that a handsome bank is an
excellent advertisement. and 10 make II

Cattle shipments from Belle Fourche
for the season of 1907 are practically
over Contrary to expectations, the
season has been particularly success
full one, Notwithstanding the drop in
the price of cattle According to the
estimates of the Northwestern road and
cattlemen, something like $1,000 head
of stock were shipped from that point
this year Belle Fourche has always
had the reputation of being the largest
single cattle shipping point in the world,
but records of other localities will prob
ably equal il this year. In all, about
1900 cars of cattle, sheep and horses
were sent from there to eastern markets,
the majority being cattle for beef pur-
poses. Returns show that previous to
the slump on the market, steers brou ght

being shipped than was expected.

The Science of Love.

Speaking before the International
School Congress at London, DIR. Sir James
Creighton-Brown stated that the tender
passion of first love could be traced to
two scientific causes, the first being a
species of cerebral commotion and the
second the stirring of some hitherto dor
mant association centers by an appropri-
ate affinitive impression. DR.. Creighton
Brown also spoke of dietary for school
children, and ridiculed the common idea
that fish was especially adapted for feed
ing the brain, saying that phosphorus is
no more the secret of genius than toma-
toes are the cause of cancer. What the
working brain did need, he said, was food
in which the chemical constituents were
properly proportional, and which was di-
gestible and palatable. In his opinion
animal food was necessary in order to
supply an abundance of proteid. Brain
workers of all ages he advised to take fire.

COURT ANNULS TREATY.
Decides State Law Against Fishing
Must Be Observed by Red Men.

An important decision has been handed
down by the Supreme Court of Wiscon-
sin, and one which will undoubtedly have
a far reaching effect. This was the de-
cision in the case of Mike Morrin, an In
dian, who was charged with using nets on
the La Pointe reservation for catching
fish. The arrest was made under the law
which was passed at the last session of
the Legislature, which states that In
dams must conform to the fish and game
laws the same as any one else. The case,
which came up in the Municipal Court
at Ashland some few weeks ago, was de-
cided against the Indian and he was given
a small fine, it being agreed by the at
torneys for the State and defense to make
a test csse out of it, which was done, and
the velvet of the lower court was sus-
tanned. The main part of the defense on
Morrin's side was that according to a
treaty entered into between the United
States and the different tribes of Indians
they would be allowed to fish and hunt
when and where they pleased.

Relieve. I'm Womau's Power.

Mrs. Stuyveant Fish, the well-known
society leader, in a recent interview took
direct issue with the expressions of
Charles NJ Schwab, who not long ago
gave it as his opinion that the true field
for women's exertions was in the dornes-
tic rather than the business world. Mrs.
Fish thinks that women should be freq
to enter any occupation, and believes that
they are equal in mentality to men, the
difference being merely one OF quality
She said she would rather be great
actress, writer or artist than to have all
the wealth she could command. She de-
cried the practice of women marrying in
ferior men for fear of being called old
maids, and urged that women should have
faith in their own powers and develop the
best within them.
