WARM TIME Over
RULES OF HOUSE
HOT FIGHT EXPECTED WHEN
slxTY-FlRsT CONGRESS
MEETS NEXT YEAR.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS ARE BUSY
Opposition To Speaker Cannon Grows
Stronger, But His Election
Seems Certain.

WASHINGTON, Nov PA good
old fashioned fight over the rules Of
the house of representatives undoubt
edly will take place at the beginning
of the siXty-frst congress as a direct
result of the valuation brought about
BY reports that are undoubtedly well
founded that President-elect Taft
would insist upon a genuine revision
of the present OF Dingley tariff SEIZED.
ules. In the first place it is known
by all well-infoTmed men in Washing
ton that a revolt against the re-elec.
ton Of Joseph G. Cannon as speaker
OF the house in the sixty-frst congress
would not stand ghost of show
unless it had the support of the Taft
administration. If for any reason
President-elect Taft should interfere
in the organization of the house with
a view of defeating Mr. Cannon for
speaker, bitter contest whose re-
suits might be projected into the fu.
ture, would follow.
President-elect Taft insists, so peo-
pie who have been to Hot Springs
say, that the tariff shall be revised
In accordance with the platform
pledges of the republican party.
Speaker Cannon, Chairman Payne of
the ways and means committee and
other leaders of the house have de.
clared publicly that there is no
ground for the belief that appears to
prevail in many quarters that there is
q purpose on the part of those in
authority to foist bogus revision bill |
on the country. On the surface, at |
least, Mr.. Taft and the powers that be |
In the house would seem to be in |
hearty accord on the subject of the
tariff. But there is disagreement Just |
the same and it will take a full and
free conference to clear it UP, unless
1T develops later that Mr.. Taft for
reasons of his own, is determined, if
possible to use the great power with
IN his grasp to force Mr. Cannon out
OF the speakership, regardless of the
tariff or other considerations.
There is good reasons to believe
that prominent republicans who are
concerned over the present situation
are taking steps to ascertain precise
ly what is in Mr.. Taft's mind as to
the speakership, and whether his ru- ,
mored antagonism to Mr.. Cannon is
based merely on a fear that the tariff
will be revised as to the country :
wants it revised, or, is based on broad D.,
er grounds Republicans say that if !
the tariff is the crux of the situation
they viii look for an early under
that will result In good feel
ing between Mr.. Taft and tn present =
house leaders
However, whether or not Mr.. Taft

ION and his lieutenants are aware v
hat an onslaught will be made on the
ules and the order governing in the
louse since 1887.

PIERRE LAND OFFICE
Gets Enlarged Territory by the Alb
sorption Of the Huron District.

Gets Enlarged Territory by the Alb
sorption Of the Huron District.
Beginning with the first of April the
boundaries of the Pierre land district
will be widely extended. BY the WHIP
ing out of the Huron land district the
counties of Beadle, Sphinx, Faulk. Pot
ter, Hand and Hyde will be added to
the Pierre district. But the addition
Of the territory will not mean any
great addition to the business. About
all which was left for the Huron dis
!rict to look after was in the southern
parts Of Hand and Hyde counties,
with few scattered tracts in Faux
and Potter. The eastern part of the
district having been practically clear
cd Of the government lands, probably
few quarter-sections scattered about
being yet to prove up to wipe out the
governments connection with any of
the counties in the Jim river valley.
The next Offices which will probably
be abolished are those of Mitchell and
Watertown, which will leave Aber-
deem the only Office east Of the Mis-
souri, river towns of Pierre and Cham
berlain.
The Pierre ONCE will probably be
the last in the state to be abolished,
rs those at the state capitals are gen.
orally left for the clearing up work
after the others are no longer paying
expenses, the one at Des Moines, for
iowa cleanup work, now being In the
list to be abolished.

9TocK THIEVES IN PRISON.
Last OF Famous Gang Of Rustlers Is
Placed Behind tho Bars.

In convicting William George, bet
ter known as Buffalo," at recent
term OF court at Alexandria, the last
OF gang Of rustlers hasu been pun
ished. The prisoner was tried on two
counts of grand larceny and was con-
victed OF both, aside from sufficient
evidence being introduced in one OF
the trials to prove conclusively that
Buffalo," while under bonds, succeed
ed in running off two head of cattle
from the Indians on the reservation
and butchering them, as their car
casses were found on his ranch
short distance north of Murdo "Buf-
falo" was sentenced to five years on
each count.
The first break that came in the
wholesale cattle rustling that had
been going on out on the reservation
for good many years, was when the
notorious Jack Sully was stirred from
his hiding places and finally caught
with the goods on him at Verdigree,
Neb. Jack was brought back and was
placed in the Jail at Mitchell for safe
keeping until court set in Lyman
county 1t was at the beginning OF
the year, and at that time the newly
elected sherif died. In the excitement
that followed Sully made his escape
from the jail one Sunday evening and
got away safely into his old haunts
on the reservation, whore he hid sue
cessfully until the government officers
finally drove him from his hiding
place. After chase over the country
Sully was finally cornered, but fight
Ing capture to the last he was shot
on refusal to surrender.
Others of the old gang have been
terreted out and have been convicted
and sent TO the penitentiary for their
s6ences. The new settlers who have
moved into Lyman county during the
past six or eight years have made it
possible to secure jurics which were
made UP Of men who were not afraid
Of the the revenge Of the cattle rust
lers and there was IN organized deter
mination on the part Of the settlers to
drive the bunch out Of the county.
With the conviction Of Buffalo"
George it can be said that there is not
one Of the old crowd left. and the law
has toe high . standing throughout
the county for 4 new gang to attempt
to gain foothold. Lyman county was
put to 4 big expense In having the
George case tried at Alexandria, but
his conviction and the strong posi-
bility that he will never return seems
to b sufficient recompense to the peo-
pie.

analysed at the school of mines and
the analysis showed that the sample

Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic

for time, to do good, but which from
