THE DAILY HERALD
PERSONALS.
PUBLISHERS NOTICE.

The Herald is always anxious to
obtain news of the arrival and depart
ure of persons in whom local readers
are interested. Naturally, it is i'm
possible to have reporters to cover
trains arriving so late and leaving so
early as the st. L., B. & NJ. passenger
trains. Therefore, the arrival or de-
parture of persons living in private
houses cannot be learned, except by
being informed of them by those in
terested. 1t is customary in other
cities for people to phone the papers
when they have news of this kind,
and The Herald would be gratifed to
receive similar information from resi-
dents of Brownsville.

Home from Washington.

The delegation OF Indians that weht
to Washington to protest against the
some of the provisions of the bill open
ing a portion of their reservation.
They lost out in their protest against
the opening of the strip across the
north line of the reserve, but secured a
modification reducing this in part. The
request to keep the rest of the reserva-
ton closed for twenty five years was
denied them. j They did gain their
point in regard to mineral lands being
held for the benefit of the Indians;
double pay for school lands; annual
distributionIof land payments, and sew
eral minor points. Now that the bill
for the opening has passed the senate,
and will no doubt pass the house, the
question as to when settlers can get
upon the lands is the vital one. AS
the government geological department
is to make survey and decide as to
mineral lands, that will extend The
time, and with the slow moving ma
chinery of the government it is not
very likely that anything will be done
late next fall at the best, if not later
period.

GOOD LAW IN GENERAL.

81 Capitol Journal: This afternoon, in
a decision by Judge Haney, Juller dis
senting, the supreme court held the
primary law to be good in general, but
bad in some of its features. The pro-
visions cut out do.not, in .any,weaken
the validity of the law The court hold
ing that the provision allowing the
county committees to select delegates
to d state convention lis no1 good, and
will not hold; that the fee provision
must come .cst of the law; that party
committees are the proper ! tribunal to
fix representation to the state conven-
lions; that the prohibitionists, being a
party in existence at the last general
election must file their petitions under
the law of 1905, and denies the writ of
mandamus asked for by them to COM
pei the secretary Of state to accept
ticket to be placed. upon the general
ballot, regardless of the primary law.
This means that the petitions for the
various aspirants for state positions
must be filed within the time limit as
fixed by the primary law.

Prairie Fire Losses.

w lille it has been nineteen years since
South Dakota has been swept with
prairie fires, carrying with them not
only destruction of property and death
to settlers, the fires of last week appear
to have been almost as destructive to
property as were those which swept the
central part of the state in April, 1885.
The difference being that in that case
tbs loss was concentrated into smaller
area, and this year spread in smaller
losses over many counties. Free are
reported in the counties of Beadle,
Hand, Faux, Potter, Sully, Stanley,
Lyman and Brule, all of which destroy
ed buildings and live stock, but 50 far
no deaths Of people have been reported.
The heaviest loss was in Beadle county,
where the town Of Broadland was saved
from total Destruction only by heroic
efforts, after half the business portion
was destroyed. AT Lebanon, Potter
county, the town was in danger, but
was saved with the loss Of but house.
IN Stanley county the loss was in
prairie shanties and live stock. In Sully
county several barns were lost and one
herd Of twenty horses were caught in q
fenced pasture and all burned. III Brule
farm houses were destroyed, as was the
case N Faux Beadle county suffered
the most severely with number Of
tires, which destroyed farm buildings
and live stock, besides the loss at
broadland The trouble is that new
settlers DO not appreciate the graYityof

THE ALEXANDRIA THEATER.

There is abundant comedy,
much fun, exceptional talent and
some extremely we'll trained dogs
in the Alhambra bill this week.
1t will be exceedingly we'll liked
by Houston audiences for the
reason that it has lots of ginger
and action throughout.
Bells dogs are the best in
their line ever seen here. He has
fewer dogs than are usually car
ried in acts of this sort, but what
he lacks in number he supplies
in quality Of the dogs intelli-
gence. The dogs are truly come
dams, and do some wonderful
feats, in which Mr.. Bell joins
with amusing comedy. The act
is clean, crisp and unusually in
teresting.
Dale and Careg present one of
the liveliest and most amusing
sketches seen on the Alhambra
stage in many months. Mr.. Dale
works in black face and Miss
Careg works straight. Mr.. Dale
is a natural comedian, and takes
to burnt cork like a duck to wa
ter. He sets the audience in a
roar with his first song, and they
shout and yell and whistle for
more. 1t was truly a scream.
Lawrence and Russell present
an illusion act which is splen-
didly done, and which is mystic
rious and clever in many re-
spects. A great deal of comedy
is injected into the act, and it
is fast enough and clever enough
to prove satisfactory.
Mr.. j. j. Mullane will sing that
beautiful illustrated song enti-
tied, "Just to Be With You" Mr..
Mullane has a fine voice and is

ductory lecture by evolving a !
definition of religion. To arrive
at this, he described some print
tive religious, such as Fetichism,
Atavism, and Nature-worship,
giving the salient features of
each, and coming to the conclus-
ion that formerly the definition
of Cicero was correct, and the
definition was: Religion is a
mutual contract between man
and superior being, by which
the wants of the former are sup
piled, his wishes fulfilled, and
himself protected, and the lat
ter is worshiped." The theory
as to the powers of the various
gods is called dogma, and the
method of worship is called "cer-
emony."
With Judaism in the field,
this definition is incorrect. Be-
lieving in an all-wise Power, no
man can prescribe to Him what
to do, therefore a contract bind
ing the two parties is out of the
question. And while some re-
ward for worship seems still to
be expected, yet with Judaism
and it's daughters, Christianity
and Islam, the conception of the
matter is changed, and we must
define religion as "the striving of
man to make his conduct agree
able to the will of God" Juda-
ism was defined as the Religion
of the Jews" fuller definition
implies the statement of dogmas
and description of ceremonies.
AS to Dogma: 1t has been
said that Judaism is a set of laws
and has no creed whatever; thi;
was disproved. The truth is
twofold: First-No attention
has been paid to creed until re
ligious discussions with devotees
of other cults called attention tt
dogma, and then various mer
formulated the creed variousIy
and, Second-In Judaism Greco
or belief alone never was a suf
ficient pay for salvation; Greco
and deed have to be combined
most attention must, however
be paid to deed rather thar
creed.
Another truth was brough
out, namely, that the dogmas o
Judaism must be in full accort
with reason.

MEXICANS APPEAL
TO THE PRESIDENT
ALLEGED REVOLUTIONlSTSASK
FAIR DEAL
MACON, Rivera and Villarreal Urge
Roosevelt to Interfere and See
That Justice Is
Done

In last desperate appeal that JUS
tice may be done in the trial of r. F.
Magon, Librado Rivera and Antonio l.
Villarreal, the MeXicans who have been
held for many months on various
charges, all of which, it is alleged,
were trumped up to get them into Ari-
zona, "where they can be spirited
across the line to Mexico and there
shot the three prisoners have ad-
dressed an open letter TO President
Roosevelt, believing that his famous
principle for square deal" will
cause him to investigate.
If the interest of the president can
be once aroused in this matter, it is
believed. he will see to it that the
three MeXicans who have been many
years in the United States and there
fore are citizens of this country, are
treated fairly and not kidnapped into
Mexico, as they fear, since several of
their compatriots having been so
treated and later imprisoned or put TO
death.
Magon, Rivera and Nillarreal are al
legged to be reVolutionists, but 1t has
not been proved they are. They are
political enemies of Diaz, believing that
he is not a republican president, but
a selfish dictator, who is expressing
their people. Having so expressed
themselves orally and in newspaper
articles, Diaz is presumed by their
friends to be back of their arrest and
