REGISTERING CROWDS.
Train Loads Of People Bound for
Registration Points.

Large numbers of people are
being attracted to registration
points, where by registering
they get apostolic chance to file
on the newly opened reservation
land. Every train passing thru
Milbank this week has been
crowded. The night trains have
all been made of two sections,
and Wednesday the afternoon
train was also in two sections, the
first section having seven pas
senger coaches, all filled, and an
extra engine to double-head was
ordered at this station. Not
withstanding this influx of peo-
pie, the larger part of whom
stop to register in Aberdeen,
some of the people of that city
appear to be disappointed in the
amount of "business" which the
crowds bring to the town, and
complain that the travellers simp-
ly get off the train, register, and
leave on the next train. The
crowds are quickly registered,
as Judge Witten, who has charge
of the business, keeps the reg
istration booths open night and
day, and SO for all have been able
to register without delay.

Alfalfa Mullins.

Nebuchadnezzar ate grass, but
though a king, his example has not
proved popular with civilized humans
during all the intervening centuries up
to the present time. But the National
Alfalfa Millers' Association. on the
roof-garden of a Kansas City hotel the
other night, returned to a diet that
had some points in common with that
to which the Baby1onian monarch was
reduced. They did not, like him, take
it au nature1. They ate alfalfa, that
wonderful forage crop of the West.
made into mullins and professed great
ly to enjoy it. First, however, the
dried alfalfa was ground into fine
green meal, then kneaded into dough
and seasoned and baked like the
graham gem. There were two at each
plate; one to eat and one to take home
as a souvenir; but so relishable did
most of them find the new delicacy
that they ate their souvenirs. The
leaves from which the new flour is
made are said to contain % per cent of
protein and 2 per cent of fat. SO
husks and grass need no longer mean
the extreme destitution that they did
in the scriptural times. especially as up
on the irrigated lands of the West four

CHAOTIC SITUATION.
In Los Angeles Affairs Follows Resig-
nation of Mayor.

Los Angeles, Cal. March 13.-The
municipal situation following the SEN
sational series of episodes of last two
days is today one of almost complete
calm
The city is without a head, members
of various municipal bodies, standing
ready to present their designations by
wholesale as soon as a new administra-
tion is inaugurated. The city's fnan-
ciaI business is effectively blocked by
the lack of executive authority, doubt
as to the matter of selection and identi-
ty of the next mayor continues and le-
gal questions are piling up which may
render the situation uncertain for some
time to come. Doubt continues as to
the fate of the recall election and of
George Alexander, the candidate of the
recall element.
In the opinion of eminent attorneys
the resignation of Harper ends the re-
call movement. The recall campaign
committee, however. announce they will
not cease their efforts to elect Alexan-
der until he is finally seated. Mean
while rumors of a compromise of all
factions and agreement upon some man
satisfactory to the contending interests
to be appointed by the council next
Monday to serve until January 1, 1910,
are in circulation. 1t is considered not
improbable that some such solution of
the tangle will be reached.

DAVIS WILL RECOVER.
Galena Grocer Robber Says He Want
ed More Money.

Galena, Kan, March 13.-Frederick
Davis, aged 33, son of a prominent To-
cal merchant, who was shot by police
officers here early today, while trying
to escape when caught in the act of
drilling into the safe of the Citizen s
bank, will recover. He was shot in the
groin.
Davis has always enjoyed a splen-
did reputation and the police today ex-
pressed the belief that his mind had
become affected. He is 33 years of age
and served as a volunteer in the Span
ish American war.
In a statement today Davis said his
motive in attempting the robbery was
a desire to get money to branch out in
business. 81 had a crazy notion he
said that I could easily get what
money there was in the bank and was
prompted in the attempt by a run of
hard luck.
Although I have worked steadily my
income was not enough to keep my fam
lily, wife and five small children. I was
not drunk, but did drink a little whisky
before left home last night. There was
no one with me.
Hard circumstances forced me into the
job and there is no use crying because
was caught. will have to take my medi-
cine. What 1 think more of than any
thing else is my family, my five children

VIII Make Rate Reduction Equal to
Katy Tariff.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 13.-The
Kansas City Southern railway today
made a cut in freight rates from Gal
weston 10 Kansas City to meet in part
the rate of $1.1O promised by the Mis-
souri, Kansas & Texas railway from
New York to Oklahoma City. The lat
ter rate was alleged by local mer-
chants to be discriminative against
Kansas City.
The Kansas City Southern proposes
to reduce it's rate between Galveston
and Kansas City to a figure that will
make the total rate from New York to
Kansas City, via the Atlantic Coast
route and Galveston, accord almost
precisely with the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas rate from New York to Ok
Iahoma City, via Galveston.

Unwritten Law Didn't Save Oswego

Oswego, Kan. March 19-The jury in
the case of the state of Kansas against
George Q. Karns, on trial in the Par
sons division of the district court for
murder, has returned a verdict of man
slaughter in the fourth degree.
This is a case involving the "unwrit-
ten law" and while the apparent de-
fense was self-defense, the defense
dementia Americana was so closely in
terwoven with the main points of the
trial as to overshadow all other issues.
