would increase Buffalo Herd.

Plans for the propagation OF the
American buffalo were discussed at .
recent meeting OF the American Bison
Association in New York. 1t waD
stated that there were 1880 in North
America. OF which 1.400 are In the
United States, and that in view OF tho
rapidity with which the animals havo
decreased in recent years it was ar
gued they will soon become extinct
unless effectual steps are taken to
foster them.
The society decided to make an ef-
fort to purchase practically all the re-
naming buffaloes in this country and
Canada and present them to the
United States government BY so do
ing 1t hopes the government will set
aside large tracts of land where the
bison may be raised on a large scale.
The society decided to look into the
practicability of locating several herds
or buffaloes on the Flathead Indian
reservation In northwestern Montana,
and in the Grow reservation In south
western Wyoming. Morton j. Elrod.
or the University of Montana will be
asked to report to the society upon
the possibilities OF the Flathead res
ervation.

pentagamist's defense was that he
nao not married the women: they had
married him. When they proposed
ne mad not the courage to say no.
Neither money nor love, he said, had
prompted his nuptials: he was the
victim of the stronger wills OF his
successive spouses. OF the five wives
three appeared as witnesses. but did
not prosecute, saying that their COM
mon husband was a topper of whom
they were glad to get rid. He was
acouitted-on what ground does not
appear. AS all the years In which
the multiplex husband took wives
were leap years except 1881. in which
1t would seem that in four out Of
the fiye cases the women had the
right TO propose. But the man had
the right. even in the leap years, to
decline, and 1t was up to him ac least
to explain to his fair suitors that he
was engaged. To establish the p-in-

heap of ruins.
Should the reports of the subsistence

dispatches on this subject are await

According TO information received
Thursday the Kingston horror is grow
ing. Communication with the island
is partially restored. and every mes
sage that comes brings fresh details
of the appalling catastrophe.
The number of dead is placed var
iously at from 500 to 1900 and the
number of injured runs into the thous-
ands. Ten thousand people are said
to be homeless. The danger of famine
has increased and with 1t stands the
spectre of pestilence. There is urgent
need of supplies of all kinds and en-
ergetic efforts are being made in this
country and in England to send aid.
The business section of the city
has been wiped out and the estimates
of the damage range from $4,000. 900
to s25,000,000.
