A certain style of ladies dress is
called the Vampire. The name is
particularly appropriate in SO far as it
sucks the life blood when the dress
makers bill comes in. There is a
meteor" side effect to some which
runs back something like a swallow
tailed coat. 1t is supposed that the
long train of the Vampire dress is
called the Comet, since it spreads

Mr.. Carnegie is well again, and
now is hobnobbing with newspaper
men. His talk was about President
Taft and the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill. The Discrimination of Mr.. Car
negie to deal with small subjects is
innate. If he only had the armor
plate contracts now what possibilities
would be before him. Six hundred
dollars ton his old price would be'a
mere bagatelle.

Millers Meet
Convention at Aberdeen Will Try to
Get Lower Rates on Wheat
from the South.

ABERDEEN, S. D., Aug. 12-(Special.)-
Fifteen members of the South Dakota Mill
ers club, representing the millers OF the
state, met at Aberdeen today to- take up
the question OF freight rates In the state.
The determination was made to attempt to
secure for South Dakota Touring mills the
same rates as those prevailing in Iowa,
which are approximately 30 per cent lower
than those now in effect in South Dakota.
The committee appointed TO confer with
the railroads relative to the hoped for re-
duction is composed Of W. II. Stokes,
George p. Sexauer, G. A. Lum and H. r.
Griffin.
The meeting discussed the present high
price Of wheat, which they declared to be
artificial and not due to the law Of supply
and demand. Minneapolis mlllers, they de-
clared, can obtain relief from the high
prices OF the northwest by importing south
ern wheat at from 10 to Is cents a bushel
lower than northern grown grain, but exist
ing freight rates in South Dakota prohibit
South Dakota millers from doing this

WAS that the only reason for your re-
ferring to Mr.. Sherman and Mr. Curtls?"
Yes: we had absolute confidence In their
ability to deal with Indian affairs"
Scott denied he ever had reviewed any
financial aid from MoMurray. He insisted
his interest in the contracts was based
only on his anxiety TO get the land sold.
He told of inducing the Indians to send
kilograms to Washington, urging the

Promises in other Contracts.
Referring to the promise of the con-
tracts, Scott said: 'Out of these segregated
coal and asphalt lands the Indians thought
they ought to get $5OOO0,OOO, but we didn't
ask more than s2O.0OO,OO0 The surplus un-
allotted land was worth about S15oOO,OoO and
the leased district land perhaps as much.
McMurray was to get 10 per cent of what
ever money he got out Of it. We believed Nc
Murray was in a position to expedite the
sale of these lands and that's why 1 signed
the contracts and induced others to sign"
"One reason why the Indians were willing
to pay a big fee," Scott said, "is that they
were afraid the government would reopen
the rolls and take in 10000 more Indians"
Scott said he believed the Indians would
give 25 per cent attorneys fees IL they
could see action at once.
He also declared the McMurray law firm

Choctaw nation, Scott said he had charge

penses, but he had kept an account of what
McMurray still might owe him."
