Russians Plan Great Demon
STATIONS for S0th An
niversary.
The Russian Torch Bearer"
Does Not Expect to Live
Much Longer, and Re
grets He Cannot Die a
Martyr to THE Cause"
His Last Novel VIII Be
Published After Death.
Special to The Journal.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 22.-Through-
out Russia preparations are going Tor
ward for great demonstrations on the
occasion of the S0th birthday Of
Count Leo Tolstoi, the great torch
bearer" which falls on next Friday
The Union of True Russian People,
composed principally of priests and
reactionaries who are anxious to pre-
serve the despotic regime in the land
of the car, are threatening a counter
demonstration The authorities fear
that trouble may result from clashes
between the admirers and the enemies
of Tolstoi.
Tolstoi recently issued a condem-
natory screed, directed at the. Russian
government, and church, in which he
depicted in words that burned the ter
rible condition now existing in this IN
happy country, and which have trans
formed the empire into one vast
slaughter pen. This article, entitled,
81 cannot be Silent" demonstrated
the truth of the assertion that Toll
6toi is the only Russian who dares to
tell the truth. More powerful even
than the car, and with the public
opinion of all civilized nations behind
him, the venerable torch bearer"
speaks his mind and the government
he attacks is forced to listen in i'm
potent silence.
The Orthodox church dignitaries
have issued a warning against the
participation of church members in
the Tolstoi celebrations of the COM
ing week. In all of the orthodox
churches of Russia tomorrow the
priests will read prayers beseeching
the deity to turn Tolstoi from his
evil ways" and to bring about his re-
turn to the church. This action of
the church is the subject of much
scoffing in all of the more independent
Journals of the empire, most of which
are agnostic in tendency, since tn.
church has always taken sides with
despotism.
Count Tolstoi will spend his birth
day quietly at his home in Yasnaya
Polyana, where he Will receive dele
cations of the foremost literary men
Of Russia and Europe. The telegraph
authorities are expecting a perfect
flood of congratulatory messages from
all over the world next Friday and
have made preparations to handle
them.
Count TOlstoi has recently declared
to friends that he does not expect to
live much longer and that his only
regret Is that he cannot die as a mar
tyr for the Russian people While he
has broken with the Orthodox church
Ind with all orthodox forms of relig-
Jon. he maintains his belief In immor-
lality. Il know with certainty that
in dying ! shall be happy and that
shall enter a world more real"
Count Tolstoi thus sums up his an
ticipations of death, in reply to a
friend who congratulated him upon
his approaching eiEhtieth birthday.
All earthly life, he says, is a dream
and death the true awakening. He
awaits that awakening with happiness.
Celebrating on this idea he saws:
Our earthly life is one of dreams

Joel Frater Lumber Com
pany Doing An I'M
mense Business.

Although some people n this com
munity have contented themselves
with the cry of hard times, and have
allowed their business to slacken, the
Joel Frater Lumber Company has not
been among these, but on the con-
trary, has been operating day and
night to supply the large demand for
building materials of all kinds.
Mr.. Joel Frater, in speaking of the
matter yesterday said: I'VE have
Teen very busy, ii is true, but we are
looking for business more than ever,

OF ii. We have established a system
whereby we can I'll orders immediate

those who are in the market for build

glad 10 say that our prices never fail
to land a doubtful order. Yes, we
sell everything in the line of building
material, and We want to double our
capacity as soon as the volume of bus
mess justifies it."
Mr.. Frater is very enthusiastic over
the outlook, and he ia making great
preparations for q big fall business,

Death in youth is as when a man is

1t is entitled Father Sergius," from

County Board Names Referee to Count
the Names OF Petitioners.
The application Of the homestead
es Of Lyman county for a writ Of
mandamus to compel the commission
ers Of that county to submit the herd
law proposition on the petition pre-
sented to them last March has result
ed In the appointment Of a referee to
count the names presented and pass
upon its sufficiency. This means de-
lay and makes the homesteaders all
the warmer in their contention.
Their suit was pushed on the plea
that they desired to secure the vote
at the same time with the June pri-
maries and save the expense of a spe.
cial election. The delay probably will
prevent this. The county commission
ers say that IL a sufficient petition is
presented to them in time to present
the matter at the November election
they will put the matter to vote, but
they are opposed to action at special
election.
The homesteaders feel certain Of
carrying the day II they once get a
vote. and they say they want protec-
ton for their crops this year.

Big Territory viii Be Offered to

WATERFOWL is rejoicing over the
publication Of the following telegram:
IS. X. Way, WATERFOWL, s. D.:
Passed bill opening reservation in
senate to-day practically as reported.
Robert J. Gamble"
This means the beginning of the
opening of an empire covering over
100000 acres to which WATERFOWL is
the front door.
AS passed the bill provides for the
opening of strip eighteen miles wide
and fifty miles long west from the
Missouri river at LIE Beau. The west
end of this strip connects with a strip
running north and south thirty-six
miles wide and 120 miles long, extend
Ing from the Cannon Ball river in
North Daota to the Cheyenne river in
South Dakota, and including in this
state practically all Of Schanasse
county.
An idea of the size OF this territory
which the bill opens for settlement is
gained when it is remembered that
the State OF Connecticut could be set
down in it and there be enough left to
make half Of Rhode Island. But one
acre of the South Dakota land will
raise of its own strength of what
three acres of the WORKOUT New Eng.
land farms now rroduco
That 1t will be quickly settled is an
assured fact both from the limited
amount of government land left for
demonstrating and because of the ease
with which this new territory can be
reached.

NOTED INTERPRETER DEAD.
Alex Rencounter, Historic Character
Of Northwest, Passes Away.

Alex Rencounter, Historic Character
Of Northwest, Passes Away.
Alexander Rencounter, famous as
an interpreter and guide, is dead at
Lower Brule from a stroke of apo
plexy. "Alex" knew every foot Of the
Missouri valley country from St.
Louis to Fort Benton. and his
services in the old days were in great
demand. He acted as guide and in
terpreter for Father De Smet on that
missionary's second visit to the Sioux
nation. In 1866 he accompanied Gen.
w. F. Sherman and Gen George Sully
on their trip up the river, when they
located the site of the agencies and
forts from Yankton to Fort Benton.
He was official interpreter for the
entire Sioux nation at the discussion
OF the treaty which coded the Black
Hills strip to the government and
opened the way to the gold country.
Alex counted among his personal
friends John Lawler, general manager
Of the Milwaukee road, whom he as
sisted during the negotiations for a
right of way to the Missouri river.
Having from early youth associated
with white people Mr.. Rencounter had
lost nearly every trace Of Indian &C
cent and mannerism, and was the
most progressive Of the older element
on the reservation.

Judge Garland Of the United States
court, in the damage suit instituted
by William G. Mcconnell of Sioux
Falls against the Omaha Railroad

Special Agent Of the Government In
vestigates at Fort Meade.
Special agents of the government
are now at Fort Meade, where they
are investigating the surrounding
country in view Of the expected en-
largement at the post. One of the
first requirements for making Fort
Meade brigade post, which Secre-
tary Taft has practically promised, is
the acquisition of more territory, and
1t is the plan to secure enough to give
the post one whole township. The
brigade post entails three regiments
and necessarily many more buildings,
and 1t is estimated that the total ex-
penditure, IL such a change is made,
will be more than 100000. While no
definite statement of the governments
intention has been made, it is general
ly accepted that the present visit of
the agents is forerunner of the brig
ade post and a much more important
army reservation.
