ANCIENT INDIAN ORDER.
Strange Religious Rites Observed by
Remnant Of New England Tribe.

Up in the northeast corner of the
state there is a small band Of Seneca
Indians on a reservation of the same
name, says the MuskOgee correspond,
ent of the Kansas City Times. This
Is a remnant of a nation of Indians
that can be traced from the original
New England States, as they were
forced west and south by the en-.
croachment of the whites and the bat
tie arm OF stronger Indian bands that
were constantly warning against them.
Among this little band Of Indians,
probably not more than 100 all told,
there are OIn curious heather rites
that seem to be instructive with the
tribe.
Among them there is an old order
known IS The Wood Face" Those
who belCng to the order can call in
the wood Faces" in case of sickness,
as is often done. They go through a
performance that is calculated to drive
IL from the sick person the evil
spirit that may be lowering around
the bed, These faces are masks made
out OF wood, usually carved to repre-
sent a human form Of stone character,
but sometimes made to represent the
head of som animal. They ere paint
ed red and black, with large silver
eyes and a hose tail for hair.
Arraye3 in n Of these hiGeous
masks. together with rattles made of
turtle shells fastened together at the
ute edges with small one inside
and tied to the legs of the Wood
Faces as they dance, roll and kick,
singing their in~cantations the while,
the Indians present a scene calculated
to drive away any evil spirit hat
might happen along and incidentally
drive the life Il of the patient.
1t appears that this organization
has been IN the tribe for many gener-
atoms, the modes of procedure differ
sometimes, but following the same
general character. It's secret signs
and symbols are guarded as closely
as Masonry and its fraternal features
are as binding. Its spiritual benefits
are believed in implicitly.

PRIZE FOR EVERY COUNTY.
Corn Palace Will Offer Special Induce
poents for Farm Exhibits.

The county agricultural exhibits OF
the Mitchell corr palace this year Will
he made a special feature, and an et-
fort will be made TO secure as many
exhibits as possible. AS an induce
ment for the various counties that de
sire to show their products the corn
palace committee has decided TO Offer
three prizes for the best exhibits, In
addition to these prizes the commit
tee has decided to present each county
that makes an exhibit a special prize.
Already much of the space has been
spoken for, and if there is not sufi-
cient room on the first floor there Is
much space that can be utilized on the
second floor in the gallery. The com
mittee realizes that the agricultural
features of the corn palace are para
mount, and with the splendid crops
that will result after the harvest is
over there ought to be a fine display
of the products of the soil.

MoRMoNs TO WORK STATE.
Elders Will Visit Towns and Farms
81 South Dakota.

Six Mormon elders are in Mitchell
at the present time preparing for a
campaign which they intend to insti-

Elder William Redd is at the head
Of the company of religious workers.
and he states that a o u will be
started to the northern border, stop
ping at all the towns EN- route, and
that four of the elders will walk
through the country, visiting all the
farm houses on the journey to i'm
press their teachings IN the farmers,
with whom they seem to have the
best success in selling their literature.
The elder said that open air meet
ings would be held in all the towns
they visit. They find many, he says,
who are adopting the Mormon faith
in this state. Two years ago six of
the Mormons worked in Mitchell all
summer. and at the close there were
some exciting scenes, due to antag-
OniSm.

MITCHELL MAY GET SCHOOL.
German lutherans of Iowa Seek Col.
lege Site in South Dakota.

The German Lutheran synod of
Iowa is making some Investigations in
this state with the idea Of building a
prO-cOllege at some advantageous
point. The ministerial college is 10
Gated at Dubuque, Iowa, and the pro-
college at Clinton, Iowa, but the lat
ter institution is now filled with
students and cannot accept n more
at the opening OF the fall term, which
leaves the German LutheTans in this
state without an institutional school to
which TO send their children to college.
For several years the synodicaI off
GERS have investigated Sioux Falls, Abb
erdeen and Eureka, and now they are
in conference with DR.. S. Sprecher OF
Mitchell, who lately has moved there
from Trip, and who believes that
Mitchell will eventually secure the col
leCe.
The first building to be erected will
be large enough to accommodate 400
students. There is a large number Of
Germans in the central and southern
part of the state to be benefited by
having a college, and those in Western
Iowa and Southern Minnesota will be
within easy reach of the institution.

n downward trend Of the lobster

1t is difficult to understand how the

FAMOUS RANGE TOWN RAzED.
Evarts, S. D., Will Pass Into Oblivion
on AUG. 1.

"" NdSs
The town of Evarts, until a few
months ago the greatest cattle ship.
ping center in the country, has passed
into oblivion. Not ever a railroad
track remains to mark the place
where millions of head of cattle have
been cared for en- route from the great
plains to the Eastern markets. and
scarcely a house or inhabitant will
be seen there, where in former years
Indiana made it one of their greatest
trading posts.
When the st. Paul railroad decided
to extend to the coast one of the
worst obstacles to be overcome was
to find a suitable site for a bridge
across the Missouri river. Weeks
were spent in surveying the banks of
the Big Muddy, and finally the en-
gineers settled upon a site several
miles north of Evarts. which has
since grown into a large and flourish.

an agent the St. Paul railroad offered
the people of Evarts any site they
would select in any of the e towns
on the extension. The offer was &C,
cepted. Had it been refused the St
Paul would have been compelled tic
keep trains running into and out Of
Evarts.
A few months ago the exodus from
Evarts began: now practically moth
ing remains of the town. Buildings
were drawn across the prairie and
into other towns, principally Glenhan
and Mobridge, and in a few days the

FIGHT FOR sPEARF,sH RIVER.
Expenditure Of 100000 Said to q
Scheme Of Company in Black Hills

Expenditure Of $4,000 900 Said to Be
Scheme Of Company in Black Hills.
1t is announced that plans are now
On foot which will result in the cree.
ton OF a mammoth water power plant
on the Spearfsh river that will har-
s practically the whole of that
stream, transform the present sys-
tenn Of water plants here, involve an
expenditure of at least 81, OOO, 900 and
tnaugurate q fight between the Gen
eral Electric company and the Black
Hills Traction company for supremacy
In the Black Hills.
For some time there have been ru-
of a struggle for the water
rights Of the Spearfish river. A few
years ago a plant erected by the
Spearfish Electric Light and Power
Company was put out of commission
by the flood of 1904. and no effort has
since been made to utilize the stream
for that purpose until the Black Hills
Traction company entered the field.
Shortly after their new plant was
built at Speartish overtures looking
toward a sale were alleged to have
been made by the General Electric
company. which owns a $1,000, 900
plant at Puma. These offers were
refused, and it Is now said that the
big company has determined TO fight
the smaller one.
According to authentic information
the General Electric company will
build a plant that will have a capacity
of 5000 horse power, which, it is es-
timated would cost the company an
other million.
There are at present five separate
crews of surveyors working in the
Spearish canyon none of which will
volunteer information as to their
plans. The Homestake company owns
most of the riparian rights in the
canyon, and has unlimited opportu-
nifty. IT is further understood that the
Homestake, to protect its own rights.
is to aid the Black Hills Traction
company in its effort to retain its
hold in the Black Hills.

New Range Conditions.
Once more the section about Belle
Fourche is In the midst of the cattle
shipping season, and in spite Of the
pessimistic forecast made some
months ago. the season. of 1908 prom.
ises to eclipse that of last year. Not
only are the cattle all In excellent
shape. the demand good and the prices
strong. but the range under different
conditions than formerly has enjoyed
an exceptionally good year.
Belle Fourche long has held the title
OF the largest cattle shipping point in
the world. The vast stretch Of range
north, east n west afforded for years
practically the n shipping point
there. Thousands OF cattle are driven
overland to that point and then
shipped over the Northwestern to
Omaha. Sioux City and Chicago. But
with the passing of the big range and
the large herds. 1t was thought that
conditions would be so changed that
Belle Fourche would cease to be q
shipping point of such Importance.
The building across the northern part
of Butte county Of the Milwaukee's
coast line extension, cutting as 1t does
through a large cattle section, also
was figured as a factor in the lessen
ing of shipments from there. Neither
| Of fhoCa C0nHitinnc ccnv, 10 have had
much of the expected effect. Count
less small herds have supplanted the
larger ones, and the cattle are handled
by many more owners than formerly,
resulting in an improved condition
and consequent better prices.
So far this season the number Of
shipments from Belle Fourche is great
er than at this time last year and the
cattle are coming in fast. In the
neighborhood of 1900 carloads were
sent to market from that point in the
fall of 1907, but the railroad and cat
tlemen interested estimate that the
total shipments from Belle Fourche
this fall will exceed 1000 carloads.
The Milwaukee, instead of reducing
the number of head shipped from
Belle FOurche. is drawing largely on
the country heretofore handled ex-
cluSively by the Northern Pacific. Cat
tie from North Dakota, Montana. Wy.
oming and the extreme northern and
north central parts of South Dakota
are being handled by the Milwaukee
and Northern Pacific.
Rapid City, through the building
across the state of the Northwestern
and Milwaukee lines. is no longer a
shipping point of such proportions as
| before. These lines have numerous
shipping points for cattle from west
of the river that are too far south for
the northern lines, but Underwood
seems destined to become the center
of the cattle shipping industry fol-
that section between the Missouri riv
err and the Black Hills.

Two of the trustees of Dakota Wes-
leyan university went to Mankato,
Mimi, for the purpose of interviewing
DR.. Kerfoot, the presiding elder of the

DR.. Kerfoot's name has been taken

only in the last ten days that his
friends have been actively pushing
his candidacy, which has brought to
light much of the minister's attain
ments, of which the committee was
not in possession, and they have gone
to- talk over the situation with him.
The trustees of the university will
meet in Mitchell on Wednesday, Aug.
s. for the purpose of reaching a pos.
sible conclusion as to the presidency
OF the college. 1t appears that the
candidates. at least those to be con-
sidered at all favorably, are narrowed
down to two or three, with evidently
a strong leaning toward Er. kerfoot.

MANY WOMEN SPECTATORS.
wall Street Brokers Have Private
Rooms for Them.


The number Of ONE spectators
Is amazingly large-much larger than
even the ordinary Wall street habitue
would imagine. 1t is not commonly
known, but it is a fact that many
brokerage houses maintain private
rooms for their ome customers
with more often than not, private en-
frances. There are several reasons
for this. One is that many women
who speculate do SO secretly, with
out the knowledge Of their family,
their relatives or their friends. On
this account they desire privacy, de-
sire to move and have their Wall
street being unknown. Another rea-
son is that the broker himself desires
it. principally. be it confessed, be-
cause he is anxious hat IL there be
any scenes" they shall be private
ones far from the madding crowds
ignoble strife"-and sight. For truth
compels the statement that women
are poorer losers than men. 1t Is the
testimony of conservative brokers that
a woman gambler is much more of =
gambler than a man-much more, that
is, in absorbing tenaciousness and al.
most vindictiveness. She seems to be
out of and beyond herself to a
degree that becomes uncomfortabl bly,
disuuieting when she loses. Even
when she is a winner, and, as l have
said, the proportion Of winner to
losers among women is about one to
twenty. there seems to be in her
satisfaction a kind of maliciousness
that is not good to see.

VOTE FOR DIVISION OF BUTTE.
County Commissioners Act Favorably
on Petitioners.

The Butte county commissioners
have granted petitions which will
mean a vote in November to cut that
county into three separate ~organiza.
tons, one in the northeast corne to
be known as Perkins county and one
in the northwest to be known IS
Harding county. This would cut
Butte county proper down to about
what it originally was before the
county expansion scheme of ten years
ago.
l. The people of Lennon are pushing
for the northeast county, and ask for
about eighty townships, covering all
that part of Butte between the state
line and the northern line Of Meade
county, or what is known as the Jog"
portion Of the county, and want 1t
named Perkins. They expect a coun-
fy seat by the move regardless of
their geographical location in the pro
posed new county.
The county wanted as Harding
would only revive an old name. as
most of the territory asked for in this
county was at one time under that
name. The people Of Camp Crook
are pushing this move, and are after
a county seat. They want that part
of Butte extending from the west line
of the proposed Perkins county to the
Montana line, and from the North Da-
kota line south to the line between
townships IA and Is.
Either Of the proposed new coun-
ties and Butte county as left would be
called immense, and will be large
enough for further division with great
.er population.
