DAKOTA WESLEYAN OPENS.
DIR. Jordan, of Minneapolis, Delivers
Address to Students at Mitchell.

Dakota Wesleyan university at
Mitchell Wednesday opened the fall
term with an attendance of students
that was highly gratifying to Presi-
dent Nicholson. A very thorough can
vass was made Of the state during the
summer months and a large number
Of new students arranged to take up
the university work this fall The en-
rollment Wednesday amounted to 275,
which is rs more than We're enrolled
at the opening of last year. The COL
lege has been growing in its enroll
ment steadily, and at the close Of the
school year in June it amounted to a
larger number this year. During the
summer considerable work was done
at the college building in providing
new class rooms and making more
comfortable quarters for the students.
The ladies' dormitory was filed July 1
with applications and additional
quarters have had to be secured in
private residences.
The formal opening occurred We'd
nesday morning when DR.. w. II. Jor-
dan, cf Minneapolis, delivered an inn
pressive address to the student body,
with some preliminary statements by
President Nicholson and other men,
bers of the faculty.

CYANIDE MILL BURNS.
Black Hills Fire Believed to. Have
Been Incendiary.

Fire believed to have been of incen-
diary origin, completely destroyed the
handsomely equipped cyanide mill Of
the Spearfish Mining company, located
at Cyanide, in the Ragged Top dis
trict. Although the watchman was
apprised Of the fire shortly after it
started, there is no means of utilizing
the creek water, and he was power
less.
Several years ago Cyanide was a
flourishing little camp when the COM
pany was working. For five years the
mill with a capacity of $50 tons daily
was operated successfully, the COM
pany getting its ore from the fiat for
nation, but when the ore shoot ran
out no effort was made to locate new
bodies, and the operations ceased q
year and a half ago.
The mill just burned cost originally
$4,000, and the present loss is esti-
mated at $65.000 on building and ma
chinery. When the mill closed the in
surance was cainceled, so the loss is a
total one
The Spearflsh company was COM
posed largely Of Colorado Springs cap
italists The present mayor of that
city, d. N. Heller, is the president OF
the company, while J. X. Vanetta and
others were largely interested.

Woman Killed by Members of Relig'
iOuS Sect

ious Sect.
Five, people. members of the sect Of
Parhamites, are under arrest in Zion
City, ILL.,. accused Of torturing to death
Mrs. Letitia Greenhaulgh, "a years old.
| q cripple for twenty years, in order to
show belief in the religion they pro-
fess Those arrested are Walter and
Jennie Greenhaulgh, son and daughter
of the woman; Harold Mitchell, Mrs.
Harold Mitchell and Mrs. Smith.
Mrs. Greenhaulgh had been for
twenty years an invalid. suffering from
| paralysis and rheumatism.
The Parhamites were founded about
year ago by Charles F. Parham and
number about 200 persons. The MEM
bers originally belonged to Dowie's
church, and believe In the gift of
tongues, and especially diabilical pos
session. 1t is their theory that sick
ness is an evidence Of the possession
Of the body by evil spirits.
The condition of Mrs. Greenhaulgh
convinced the persons arrested that
she must be possessed of the devil, and
they determined to drive out the evil
spirit. After prayer the arms of Mrs.
Greenhaulgh, stiffened by rheuma-
tism, were Jerked and twisted about in
order that the devil might be driven
out. The cries of the aged
woman were considered as those
of the evil spirit and were
greeted with triumphant shouts.
After a course of this violent treat
ment Mrs. Greenhaulgh not only be-
came 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. After five
hours of treatment the woman died.
Efforts to restore her to life were
made and, when they failed, her death
was announced.
Young Greenhaulgh said his mother
had consented to the treatment.

SIOUX CITY AERONAUT HURT.
BILLY" Whalen in Serious Accident at
NcrmiIliOn.


BILLY" Whalen, Of Sioux City, was
seriously injured while making a bal
loon ascension at the Clay county fair
Thursday afternoon.
A stiff wind was blowing when the
balloonist called to his assistants to
let go of the ropes. The balloon was
swept rapidly across the race track,
and Whalen was dashed against the
high trapeZe used by the performers
who are furnishing specially acts.
Whalen hung onto the trapeze with
one hand until he was rescued, when
1t was discovered one leg was broken,
the bone protruding through the flesh
and that he was badly bruised. He
does not appear to be injured inter-
nally, and the doctors say he will re-
cover.
! The fact that the balloon was not
well filed and did not rise rapidly is
considered to have been the cause
Of the accident. After Whalen struck
the trapeZe the balloon went short
distance and sank to the ground.
! Whalen is in the employ of Prof
Winterringer, of Harrington, who has
a contract to make daily ascensions
during the fair. Whalen says he has
liven in Sioux City fourteen years.

QUEER FREAK OF NATURE.
Burning Bluff Becomes an Attrac-
ton for SightseerS.

The burning bluff" on the Missouri
river about ten miles north of Fairfax
is fast becoming a mecca for sight
seers, and large crowds go there to
see this freak of nature. bringing home
with them specimens taken out Of the
glowing mass and allowed to cool off.
The clouds of smoke rising from the
bluff can plainly be seen two miles
away, and old timers in these parts
say that never before during their
residence there has the heat in the
bluff been so intense and the volume
Of smoke rising therefrom as great as,
at the present time.
The smoke smells strongly of sui

In the right direction. The hottest
part of the bluff covers a space about
ten feet in diameter. A stick Of wood
thrown into this becomes easily ignit-
ed and cigar may be lighted there
from, and the heat is so great that
a person cannot remain near it very
long.

RATE HEARING Is STOPPED.
Northwestern to File New Quarterly
Schedule


The hearing before the state rail-
road commissioners in the matter of
21a cent passenger rate for South
Dakota lying west of the Missouri riv-
er came to a somewhat unexpected
end Wednesday when another ad-
journment was taken until Sept. 26.
The decision to adjourn the hearing
until that date followed the announce
ment that the Chicago and North
western railroad was now preparing a
schedule of freight rates for it's lines
west of the Missouri river. and that it
was expected the schedule would be
completed by Sept. 26 and ready to
be submitted to the board on that
date.
Freight rates east Of the Missouri
river were adjusted by the board put
ting in a new schedule last spring.
The matter OF reducing the passen-
ger rate from to 21a cents per mile,
in accordance with an act of the last
Legislature has not yet been decided
upon by the board. although argu-
ments were concluded by representa-
tives of the railroads on Tuesday.
In connection with the important
matter, d. H. Smith. DR.. w. G.. Smoth
and George Rice, who constitute the
board Of railroad commissioners, to-
gether with w Fl. Stanley, secretary
of the board, departed Wednesday for
Chicago, where they will secure addi-
tional data on the subject of the pro-
posed reduction in passenger rates. II
is expected decision will be rendered
by the board soon after the members
return from Chicago.

SMALL Loss IN FINE.
Oil Stock Slump Costs Rockefeller
Over 100000, 900.


Records of the stockholders of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey,
laid bare Friday at the hearing of the
government suit for the dissolution of
the alleged oil combine, disclosed the
fact that John ID. Rockefeller owns
247,692 shares, or nearly five times
as much stock as any other individual
sociates who signed the trust agree
ment in 1882 still control the majority
of Standard Oil stock. Measured by
the present market price, $440 a
share, the holdings of Mr.. Rockefeller
in the Standard Oil company have a
value of $109,000,000.
The stockholders record of August
1907, shows that the University of
Chicago is the owner Of 5000 shares
Of Standard Oil stock.
Depreciation in the price Of Stand
ard Oil stock within the past ten
years, brought about by agitation
against the company, has been more
than $400 a share. Since the legal
proceedings against the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey were insti-
tuted the stock has steadily declined
until 1t is now around $440. This rep
resents a loss of over 800. 100000 on
the holdings of John d. Rockefeller
The shrinkage in the market value of
the stock also affects the University of
Chicago to the extent of about $1,000
900.

NIIsSOURTS MIRACLE.
Practically One-Half the State Has
Gone Dry.

Practically One-Half the State Has
Gone Dry.
Rev. Albert Bushnell, superintend-
ent of the Anti-Saloon league of the
Kansas City district. said Sunday that
in his estimation it will be only few
weeks until Missouri will be half pro-
hibition.
There are ia counties in the state,
and forty-seven have voted against the
saloon. Only ten more dry elections
are needed to make the wet and dry
sides equal. There have been eight
counties made prohibition in the last
week. There will be several more
elections in the next few weeks and
the situation looks good to the anti
saloon people,"
At the beginning of 1905 Missouri
had three prohibition counties. Local
option has been a gradual movement
with the recent reform wave as the
chief stimulant.

IN BITTER DISPUTE.
Warlike FURRY at Hague Peace Con-

sss~AAA>S dt u OASC SOHs
ference.
One Of the stormiest sittings since
the opening of the peace conference
at The Hague marked the discussion
Thursday by members Of the commit
tee on maritime warfare of the propos-
al concerning laying submarine mines,
and 1t was again demonstrated that
whenever military interests are involv-
ed the rivalries of the powers pre-
clude finding a common ground for
agreement.
The leading note Thursday was the
antagonism between Great Britain and
Germany. Great Britain, having the
more powerful navy, wishes to abolish
or limit to the utmost the employment
Of mines, while the interests Of Ger
many are in direct opposition to such
a proposal.
Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein.
one of the German delegates came to
an end Of his patience during the dis
cussion and said:
''As the English press makes us ap-
pear as barbarians, I propose that the
use of mines be abolished altogether"
OF course, the baron knew that this
motion would not be accepted, but the
remark made a deep impression.
Gen. Horace Porter, one of the
American delegates, made a note
worthy speech, in which he defended
the American proposal which prohib-
its the use of floating mines, and also
Of moored mines under certain cir
cumstances. Without mentioning
Great Britain Gen. Porter opposed the
British principle when he said:
1T is universally acknowledged
that mines are less expensive than le-
gitimate means of defense for a state
having extensive coast or a weak feet
or both. Mines may be harmful to
states whose vital necessities consist
in having their ports open day and
night

GREEN CORN FOR CHRISTMAS.
Proposed to Import 1t from South

America.
It is proposed to import green corn
from Colombia, South America, so
that it will begin to come in during
the middle Of October, when the home
product fails. 1t will be easy to have
green corn on the cob for Christmas,
the promoters of the scheme say, al
though the price will be some higher
than one has to pay from May to Oc-
tober.
A. Diaz-Guerra, who is a CONNER
cial agent for the Colombian govern
ment, says that corn might be grown
on some of the now deserted coffee
plantations in his country and shipped
to American seabord cities in refrig-
orator ships at price that would
bring 1t within the reach of people
who are willing to pay for moderate
priced luxuries. He expects that a
trial shipment will be made to New
York in December.

the use of an arm and leg from par

The skull was trephined several

The crop report of the Russian CEN

Saturday records that expectations of
fine crops have been signally disap-

yielded 66,000,000 bushels more than
last year, leaving shortage Of 200,-
