THE SALE VAS PROMOTED BY 4. A. GIlLEN
Over a Hundred Head of Live

Good Prices.

Market day last Saturday was a
good success, considering it was an
innovation in the Hills country. The
market was promoted by M. M. Gil

success and succeeded in interesting

The first sale being very much of
experiment to the people it was
ifficult to enlist the interest. But
low that a successful sale has been

both buyer and seller as well as that
which naturally accrues to Rapid
City as the market place and Pen
nington county as the producing and
consuming section in which the sales
are made.
The sale, while not original with
Mr.. Gillen, was conducted along lines
suggested by him. In his efforts to
bring it about he had the hearty CO.

financial aid and influence much
credit must be given. A fund OF
over $500 was provided to bring the
sale to successful termination and
every effort was put forth in this
erection.
This sale came at time when the
tillers of the soil were especially
busy with farm operations, conse

brilliant assemblage of Washington's
official life. 1t bore more the air
of social function than an aero
nautic test. A stiff wind caused the
postponement of the official test with
passenger. much to the disappoint-
ment of the crowd. The throng re-
membered that the last time this
feat was attempted it cost the life
of Lieutenant Selfrige and seriously
injured Orville Wright, SO that be-
meath all of the gaity there was an
undertone of apprehension.

Admits the Situation In Spain Is Re.
volutionary.
Madrid, July 28.-The revolution
in Catalonia has reached serious
stage and there is much ,bloodshed.
Artillery is employed in the streets
of Barcelona in quelling outbreaks.
The revolutionists are reported as
fighting desperately behind barri-
cades. which have to be taken with
shot
General Alfonzo hastened back to
Madrid from San Sebastian today and
issued a decree providing for
martial law and suspension Of con-
stitutional guarantees throughout
Spain. Orders were given to the
governors of provinces to crush the
revolution at any cost and without
hesitation or pity.
Today marks a black chapter In
Spain history, with tragedy at home
and abroad. The army at Melilla had
a bloody battle with the Moors,
which, while Spain won, cost the
lives OF twenty officers and two hun
dred Spaniards killed or wounded.
The exact estimate killed and wound
ed in clashes between troops and
rebels in Catalonia Is impossible,
owing to rigid censorship. The
government admits rioters were
killed in several cities, including
Barcelona, Alcoy and Calaberra.
King Alfonzo, after being closeted
until a late hour with the premier,
issued an official note In which he
admitted the situation is grave and
that the government has proof that
the agitators seek at all costs to pro-
duce a seditious movement through
out Spain Of character clearly rev
olutionary.
!. London, July 2S.-Press dispatches
say the censorship makes 1t i'm.
possible to get accurate news from
Spain, but that Barcelona is in the
hands OF the rebels. A bad feature
of the revolution is the intense hos
tility toward religion; churches, col
leges and converts are being des
troyed.
Dispatches from Madrid describe
the situation as extremely grave

On The Tariff
That which is Taking Place at
Washington is Of Little
interest Now
TIE DEMOCRATS STAY But VERY FEN MINUTES.
Members of Minority Party
Called to Give Views on
Tariff Changes.

Washington, July 80. The ma
5jority Of the members Of the con-
ference committee brought their
Elabors to a sudden close at six o clock
tonight. and Immediately went in an
automobile to Fort Meyer to submit
the report to President Taft, who
was watching the Wright aeroplane
tests.
All day the conrerees struggled
with the question of bringing down
the house rates on gloves and SEN
ate rates on lumber to figures which
they felt would meet the exclusive
approval. but failed. Lumber was
made dutiable at rates little be-
low those named in the senate BILL,
and slight shading was made In
the rates on gloves.
After the Fort Meyer conference,
Senator Aldrich and Representative
Payne seemed satisfied with, the OUT
come, although neither would dis;
Ecuss the conclusions reached s
1t is announced officially by DEM
ocratic members that a conference
would be called tomorrow. and the
conference report would be present
ed to the house probably at noon
Friday.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill hav-
ing been completed by an agreement
which was reached at Ave o'clock
this afternoon, the report was signed
by all Of the republican conferees.
The conference report will be laid be-
fore the house tomorrow and the
senate Monday. The tarih builders
are optomistic Of its passage.
Through written communication
the president advised the taritf com-
mittee that he will not accept rate
exceeding $1.25 on rough lumber,
and that he will insist on the senate's
rates on gloves and hosiery.
The democratic members OF the
conference committee were called In.
to today's meeting. which had been
scheduled for 10 o'clock, but they
only remained until 1852.
The transmission Of the presi-
dents views to the conference COM.
mittee had the effect Of reopening all
questions which were involved In
doubt, and now 1t is not known Just
when the end will be reached. Al
drich told the democratic commit
tee that 1t was not likely that It
would be called upon again to at
tend the meeting before Saturday or
Monday.
Halted by the mandate OF Presi-
dent Taft. the conferees were COM
PEELED to tern back and revise the
rates on lumber and gloves. Hides
will be free and the rates ON shoes
and other leather products will be
reduced.
When the conferees fixed the lum-
ber and glove rates yesterday. by
shading slightly the higher rates
on each, they were certain the presi-
dent would consent, but President
Taft had other Ideas and expressed
them forcably in the letter sent to
the conference today. s
President Taft said that lumber
should not be more than dollar
and a quarter on rough, with the
senate differentials on finished lum-
