Buffalo DoiIgg Well

Scotty Philips herd of buffalo are
in fine shape this fall. They now
have their long winter hair and are all
fat as seals. There were over thirty
calves this year, all full-bloods, as Mr..
Philip does not raise any mixed
bloods. This brings the herd up to
about 200 head of full-blood buffalo,
and many people who have seen prin-
cipally all of the buffalo which are
now alive say that these are the finest
specimens in existence. This climate
and the wonderfully nutritious grasses
Of this region seem to agree with them
perfectly, for he never loses an ami
NAL FROM disease and they keep fat
the year around on nothing but the
grass as they pick it, winter and sum-
mer. While herds in other parts of
the United States are hardly able to
hold their own, this herd doubles in
number every four years, and the
younger generations seem even larger
and more vigorous than the older
ones. If Mr.. Philip is able to provide
sufficient pasture for them he VI Iii have
herd of over 1000 head ten years
from now. Enough of the rough gov
eminent land along the Missouri river
breaks should be set aside by congress
for pasture for this herd, as the hope
of again seeing the western plains
stocked with buffalo lies principally
in this herd. Fort Pierre News.

r. Whitney, of Omaha, was in that
city recently, and stated thai the
Northwestern Townsite company,

ed with the growth of the towns
along the Pierre road. 1t adds that
over $50, 900 worth Of lots have been
sold at Philip, where the second addi-
tion to the town has just been
plated.
The Journal has been misinformed
in regard to the additions to our
toWnsite. The townsite company, be-
sides'the original plat, has divided
into lots three different tracts. That
company has sold more than $1,000
worth Of lots. Four additions have

$50 citizens of South Carolina We're
removed from this to aprobably more
peaceable world by the aid of the
ready revolver, and the object of the
law is to limit the output OF deceased
citizens. A tWo-foot gun is apt to
prove inconvenient for the, poor,
cowardly whelps who fear to go about
among their neighbors in time OF
peace without hidden weapon. The
two-foot gun is a little too short to
carry on the shoulder and most too
long to be concealed in pocket or
holster. But there will be plenty OF
syiolators of the law, although, If we
mistake not, it means time in the
penitentiary.

On Dec. 7th Lyman county's herd
law association held a meeting in
Presho, and citizens from every part
of the county were in attendance.
The action of the board Of commits
sioners of the county, in rejecting a
herd law petition after striking off
sufficient names to leave the paper
short of the required number Of
names, was discussed. Resolutions
were framed and aeartily approved,
setting forth in no uncertain tones
the highhanded proceedings in which
the board has indulged, concluding
with the following paragraph: ''Re-
solved, that we, over three hundred
men, representing every part of Ly-
man county do hereby demand
that every member of the board of
county commissioners shall imme-
diately resign their Office and not wait
for the petition to be presented TO the
auditor asking their resignation,
which is now being circulated and
will be presented before the next
meeting of the board which is to be
held January End, 1908" Looks as if
Lyman county people were rather
preverse to have their rights trampl-
ed on.

Traders on and around the Chey-

in the silver from the Indians at the
present time, the government having
made them a payment of SLIGO per
capita, the money due them for
leases on their lands This is all be-
ing paid in silver, and when the pay
ments are made at the sub-agencies,
it is sacked up, and then taken out
under guard, as that amount for
thousand or more Indians makes a
good sized pile of the Bryan money"

get ready for Christmas, and they are
getting ready for the full extent of
the money at hand for them.

The Hayes Homestead says bin
has been introduced in the senate
which, if it becomes law, will give
homesteaders offering communication
proof the privilege of putting in q
dam of prescribed size instead of
paying fifty cents an acre. Such a
law would be of untold benefit to
this section, as it would insure the
construction of a large number of
water storage reservoirs and an ex-
haustless supply of water would soon
be stored west of the river.

 The report that the department objected is said to have arisen from trip to the confederate section last week of several southern visitors to Washington.
 The title on the monument had at that time not been completed and it was evidently assumed by them that the side intended to be devoted 10 the eonfed- crate titles would remain blank.

 ON MURDER CHARGE
Coroner's Inquest Brings Out Remark able Facts About Beliefs of People Who Are Concerned In Death
 of Crippled Woman.

Chicago. September 20.--Ffve people. members of the sect of Parhamites, are under arrest in Zion City. accused of 1 torturing to death Mrs. Letitia Green haulgh, 64 years old. a cripple for twen- I ty years, to show their belief In the re- ligion they profess

 Mrs. Greenhaulgh had been for twenty years an invalid suffering from paralysis and rheumatism.
 The sect of Parhamtes was founded about a year ago by Charles Parham and numbers about 200 persons. The members of the sect originally belonged to Dowe church and believe in the gift of tongues and especially in diabolical possession. 1t Is their theory that sickness is an evidence of the possession of the body by evil spirits.
 The condition of Mrs Greenhaulgh con- vinced her son and daughter and the three persons arrested with them. that she must be possessed of the devil. and they determined to exercise the evil spirit. The five knelt by the bedside and after praying commenced their work The arms of Mrs. Grenhaulgh. stiffened by rheu- matism, were twisted about in order that the devil might be driven out The cries of the aged woman were considered tu be those of an evil spirit and were greet ed with triumph and shouts. After q course of this violent treatment, Mrs. Greenhaulgh not only became so weak that she could not use her limbs, but became incapable of making any motions. Then her neck was twisted and for some time this treatment was kept up.
 Walter Greenhaulgh testified at tho ooroner's inquest that Mitchell and his wife had had a vision in which Mitchell was ordered to quit work and devote his time to casting out the demons from tho sick Young Greenhaulgh declared that his mothers consent was obtained before the treatment was commenced.
 Mrs Smiths part in the treatment ac- cording To the testimony before the cor oners jury consisted in raising Mrs. Greenhaulghs head and holding her while Mitchell and his wife attempted to straighten the Woman's limbs, which had been twisted by years of rheumatism.
 Greenhaulgh broke down and cried as he told his story. He declared that for some time his mother bore the treatment bravely but al last the agony became so great that she could not restrain her. self and she cried: "Oh Lord, help mel" a number of times.
 The case will be further investigated by the authorities of Lake county, n which Zion City is situated.

Still Nothing to Say.

New York, September 2O.-General Superintendent Brooks of the Western Union Telegraph company, said today that his company had nothing to arbi- trate.
 We have all the men we desire [" said MT. Brooks, and there is no need for us 10 seek to secure the services of the men who left the employ of fhe company. Furth ermore we will never again tolerate the conditions that ex- isted before the strike. The action of the union operators before the strike in deliberately interfering with the business of the company in abusing those who failed to join their organi- zation. will never occur again in the operating rooms of the Western Union There are 175 orperators who were em- ployed in this city by this company before the strike who will never again secure work with this company. They are all ble-makers."

 There is not the slightest ground for the report that we are to arbitrate with the strikers Notify all officers and assure all that there will be no compromise, and to pay no heed to re- ports to the contrary"
