CATHOLICS In LONDON
CROWD AT PARADE is LARGEST
SINCE QUEENS FUNERAL.
Procession Of Clergy Led by Cardinal
vannutelli, the Pope's Iegate, Ac-
companied by Group of Peers-Gib-
bOns breaches Conference Sermon.

A great procession OF Catholic cler.
". which brought the eucharistic con
gress in London to an end, wa
held Sunday amid scene such as the
English churchmen who planned II
had anticipated. Cardinal Van.
nutelli. the pope's legate, walked al
the head OF the procession, wearing
his scarlet robes and hat. He was &C.
companied by the body OF English
peers, of whom the duke of Norfolk
was the most prominent, and a con-
course Of cardinals, archbishops and
bishops, who also were attired in un-
ceremonial robes instead of vestments
which originally 1t had been proposed
they should wear.
No such throngs Of people have
been seen in London since Queen
victoria's funeral. OF yer then. The
purpose Of Archbishop Bourne, the
head OF the Westminster diocese. and
his associates. who arranged the pro-
gram, had been to have the host car-
ried through the streets in the real
Of Westminster cathedral SO that the
body OF Catholics which were unable
to participate In any of the services
within the cathedral should have an
opportunity OF joining in the euchar-
site observations. and of seeing all the
high ecclesiastics present In London
on this memorable occasion.
The route Of the procession was laid
through the quiet streets adjacent to
the cathedral. and but for the I'M
expected partisan strife which a dis
cussion OF this ceremony brought on,
1t probably would have been solm-
nized quietly and in q revent atmos-
phere. The great majority of those
who attempted to witness the specta4
Gle. however. apparently was attracted
by curiosity, mi a small part were
openly and demonstratively hostile.
The Catholic element cheered heartily
while h procession passed by n
throughout the route. but there was
heard considerable 'booing." such as
English people use in theaters to ex-
press displeasure at Q play.
The people began locking toward
the cathedral hours before HI pro-
cession started. They came from all
directions. from the West End in au-
mobiles and carriages; from the
East End In buses; they poured across
the river. by all the bridges which con
verge toward Westminster. and excur-
sion trains brought many from the
provinces.
Long before the hour set for the
ceremony 1t was impossible to get
nea the line OF march. All the streets
leading In that direction were packed.
and the windows overlooking the pro-
cssslon. which were rented at high
filled.

CONDITIONS QUICKLY CHANGED.
Many County Fairs Being Held in
Country Yes of River.

One of the features of life in the
country west Of the Missouri river
which more plainly than anything else
indicates the change in conditions IN
that part of the state. is the numerous
FOCAL fairs which are being held, at
which the agricultural products OF the
section are made the main feature.
Last week the people of Philip made a
good showing of the products of west
ern Stanley county, the week before
Reliance showed what Lyman county
could do In the way of crop raising.
The first week in October the people
of western Butte county will meet at
Harding with their grain and pump
kins, and promise the visitors to their
fair that they will show them agri-
exhibits equal to any at any
place. Not only the newer settlers are
bringing their products, but the old
time cattle raiser has turned to the
glow. and is vying with the home
steader in showing what can be pro-
duced from the soil west of the river.

Cholera Causes Great Alarm N h
Russian Capital. .

The city Of st. Petersburg. Russia,
las jumped to first place among the
cholera infested centers in Russia.
The disease already has gained a foot
hold in all quarters Of the city. There
have been eleven new cases and three
deaths. This gives a total Of sixty
eight cases for three days. The sud-
den jump In the plague statistics is
believed to be due to the failure of
the authorities to take proper pre-
cautions when the first cases were dis
covered.
One hundred doctors have been
drafted into the cholera squad at a
salary of $3.50 a day. The city has
chartered a special tank steamer to
distribute boiled water to the barges
where a large percentage of the cases
have been found.
A case of cholera has been reported
from Peterhof.

Claim OF Old Soldier Finally Settled
by Government.


About forty-three years ago., when
It. E. Camburn, a well known veteran
of Brown county, closed his engage
ment with the government as a volun-
.teer soldier, there was a little discrep-
.ancy which the paymaster refused to
allow. After the claim had lain DOR
fmant for about forty years a Washing
ton law firm about three years ago
stumbled upon the item. 1t saw that
Mr.. Camburn was r~ightfully entitled
to the sum, and it communicated with
him. The result was that it was en-
gagged to prosecute the claim for the
old veteran, with the result thai he
now has received a warrant for the
amount of the claim which had been
pending for the better part of a half
century. Had interest been allowed
and compounded the claim would
have grown to something of a fortune.

FUEL FOR HOMESTEADERS.
Ignite Found i'm Large Quantities il
Butte County.

Butte County.
The discovery almost every day OF
a new Ignite Goa mine in the north
ern and eastern portions of Butte
county in the extreme northwestern
part of the state. is proving a godsend
to the thousands of hOmesteaders in
that part of South Dakota.
Recently some spectators attempt
ed to get a corner on the fuel supply
of that region, but their efforts result
in their own discontinue. The new
mines are being discovered over a
wide extent Of territory, making it i'm
possible for any man or syndicate to
get control of the fuel supply.
There is hardly a homesteader who
cannot get his fuel supply within E
distance of five miles, and many OF
them have the coal beds practically
right at their door. The veins of coal
are from 6 to 10 feet in thickness, the
Ignite being Of an excellent quality.
Practically all OF the homesteaders
can have the coal for the digging.

Asks Him to Stop Firing.
From Worthing there comes the re-
mort of a peculiar shooting which, it
is feared, will prove fatal. While
Miss Gertrude Richer. a popular
teacher, was driving to town with her
little brother she was met by some
boys who were shooting with rifles.
The shots frightened the horse and
they were asked to stop shooting,
~whereupon one of the boys opened fire
ION the carriage. Miss Richer was shot
in the shoulder, the bullet lodging in
the spinal region. So far all efforts
to locate the bullet have proven futile,
but the patient is bearing up well,
and it is hoped that she may recover,
although the doctors offer nothing
definitely assuring. The boy who did
the shooting gives his name as Gilbert
Eccarius, and is a transient.
