TWELVE HUNDRED SLAIN.
Algerian Tribesmen Defeated in Battle
With French Forces.

Maghnia, Algeria, Nov. 26.-Ten
thousand of the fiercest Benis Nassen
tribesmen swooped down on the
French camp and were beaten off with
a loss of 1900 killed. The fighting
continued for a long time and was
conducted on the part of the tribes
men apparently with total disregard
for their lives.
At one. time the French infantry
were in danger of being surrounded,
but they finally disengaged themselves
from their perilous position by a most
brilliant charge of the Spahis. The
rout of the Arabs was completed by
vigorous Smelling by the artillery. The
French loss was eight killed.
The Arabs were not discouraged by
this severe repulse, but reformed their
forces and in addition directed their
efforts to rousing other tribes. The
fighting was resumed and the booming
of cannon could be heard for hours.
Tie results of the battle now on are
unknown at present.
During the pursuit of the enemy the
Spahis were drawn into ambush and
Lieutenant Bose, who was riding in
front, fell riddled with bullets, but the
troopers rallied and threw themselves
upon the Arabs in ambush, cutting
them to pieces. The French forces
followed up their advantage and scour-
ing the country killed many of the fu-
gitives. The artillery bombarded the
mountain slopes, where the remainder
of the tribesmen had taken refuge.

LOTTERY AT WHITE HOUSE
South Dakota Senators Draw Lots for
Patronage.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The White
House was the scene of lottery draw
ing in which the federal patronage OF
the state of South Dakota was dis
posed of. The president OF the United
States turned the wheel of fortune
and Senators Kittredge and Gamble
drew out the prize packages. There
was large number of vacant offices
in the state due TO the fact that the
two senator's have been unable to
agree upon applicants, thus permitting
the old officeholders to retain their
positions long beyond the time to
which they were appointed. The SEN
ators met in the presidents Office by
appointment to agree, if possible, upon
a distribution, but when they con-
fronted the president they found tEem-
selves just as far apart as they have
been in his absence. The president
saw the difficulty and proposed that
they draw lots.
The senators agreed and the posi-
tion of bank examiner being the place
in immediate dispute the president
tossed UP a coin saying that heads
meant that Kittredge should win and
tails Senator Gamble should name the
man. The piece of money fell head
up and the nomination was thus
awarded to Mr.. Kittredge. the
drawing proceeded and Senator Gam
BILE was awarded the following
Offices: United States district at
torney for the state, collector
of internal revenue, register at
the land Offices at Aberdeen and Cham
berlain and receivers at the land
Offices at Rapid City, Pierre, Huron
and Aberdeen and Indian agent at

the office of national bank examiner
Senator Kittredge drew the following

Pierre and Huron receivers at Nit
chell and Chamberlain, Indian agent

BRYAN AND DANIEL CLASH
Nsbraskan and vrginian in a Heated
Alteration.

Washington, Nov. PA personal
alteration in which heated words
passed between William Jennings
Bryan and John Warwick Daniel, the
Virginia senator, was a picturesque
episode in leading hotel here.
Il have no desire to sit at a ban
Guet table with a man with whose
opinions regarding his party and it's
policies I have no sympathy" was the
comment of Senator Daniel, directed
to an inquiring Democrat in the pres
ence of Mr. Bryan when the senator
was asked if he would be present at
the dinner to Bryan given by Wash
ington Democrats. Il have no SYM
pathy with the purpose of Democrat
who not only tried to dictate the prin-

Washington character, Major General
Ames, an army officer and member Of
the Democratic party, came along. In
a pleasant way General Ames spoke
of the coming dinner to Mr.. Bryan
and said he had sought to induce Sen
ator Daniel to introduce Bryan on
that occasion.
The remarks were addressed to Mr.
Bryan and the senator as they stood
together. Mr.. Bryan made no COM

quoted words, and made it clear to
Mr. Bryan that the Virginia senator
had no sympathy with the policies or
the activities of Mr.. Bryan in Demo-

NOW Is BEST
TIME TO TAKE

A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compand Kargon, one ounce !;
Compound Syrup Saraparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing of vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case, of Rheumatism
The pain and swelling if any, dimin-
lshes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc, some OF which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood ELECTS the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers if asked to.

WORK ON PANAMA CANAL.
Commission Makes Its Annual Report
on the Subject

Washington, Nov. 27-Full details
OF the work done on the Panama canal
during the fiscal year 1907, with a
showing of what has been accom-
plished since the project has been in
American hands, are disclosed in the
annual report of the Isthmian canal
commission, just made public. 1t is
the first report made of operations on
the Isthmus since construction work
has been in charge of army engineers.
Aside from the S50,000,000 paid to the
French company and to Panama, an
aggregate of S4S,2S5,i10 has been eX-
pended by the government on the pro-
iect adopted by congress and which 1t
was estimated by the board OF con-
sulting engineers would ultimately
cost $139, 705, 200 This estimate, how
ever, did not include sanitation and
expenses of the zone government, wa
terworks, sewers and paving in Pana-
ma and Colon and the re-equipment
Of the Panama railroad. There is no
reference in the report to the PROPOSE
ton which has been brought forward

10 feet so as to accommodate with
out difficulty the extreme breadth in
the development of ship building, and
this will be made the subject of spe-
cial communication from the commits
sion.
A strong position is taken favorable
to a continuation of the policy of do
ing the work by hired instead of by
contract labor, a step at one time Sc
riously considered by the administra-
ton, and many arguments are pre-
scented to justify the commission in
its conclusion that the canal can be
built better, cheaper and more quick
ly by the government. Sanitation, up
on which so much depends for the
comfort and health Of the employees,
is treated of in the report, statement
is made OF what has been done and
the declaration made that there was
no yellow fever originating on the
Isthmus during the year.
