Nav Hello the Home.take.

The Deadwood Telegram says that
a number of mine owners are holding
meetings this week, but none of the
men interested would admit it. 1t is
conjectured the meetings are for the
purpose of assisting the Homestake in
its fight against the Western Fedora
tion. This opinion is claimed to be
based on the closing of the mines at
Terry, Portland and other points the
past week.

For . Union Revival.

The Rapid City Ministers Associa-
ton has decided, instead of inviting
an evangelist from abroad to our city
this year, to lead in union meetings
themselves. This is done out of no
degree of vanity on the part of the
ministers, but because of faith in God
to give us the power and use us; and
faith in the public and the churches
to stand by us. The way to develop
home institutions is to patronize them.
We feel that 1t is both cheaper and
better that the Rapid City ministers
should be used in this great -evangel-
istic campaign than that some profess
sional evangelist should be brought
here te. organize and lead the work.
Many of the public doubtless feel the
same way and we are going to trust
you to support us by your presence
and in every other proper way.
The first of series of union prayer
and preparation meetings was held at
the NJ. E. church Wednesday evening.
The attendance was good and the in
terest deep. Another meeting of this
kind will be held this friday evening
at the Congregational church.
The eyangelistic campaign proper
will open at Library Hall, corner Sixth
and Kansas City Sts., Sunday evening,

The Australian Stock Whip.

The stock whip in the skillful hands
OF the Australian is not only an article
of the greatest utility. but also a for,
midable weapon. Owing to its great
length-the lash varies from twelve to
thirty feet-and the shortness of the
butt, which measures only eighteen
inches. it is an extremely difficult and
awkward thing to WELD. and the be-
glnner is apt to hurt himself If he does
not exercise care when practcing. A
well trained stockman, however. can
hit cent every time at ten PAGES dis
lance and with the dreaded lash in his
hand, cracking like pistol shots, can
keep a mob of wild cattle in check. If
used with full force 1t will cut through
skin and flesh like knife, says the
Wide World Magazine. but unless a
beast shows distinct vice the stock man
uses it more for the purpose Of instill-
ing fear than Of causing pain. 1t can
also be used as a bolas, a Patagonian
form of the lasso. and an adept can
catch and hold beast by causing the
lash to curl around its legs.

THE LAST OF ITS RACE.

What is believed to be the sole sur viving member of the family of pas senger pigeons that sixty years ago used to fly in f1ocks of millions, liter ally shading the sun, is closing her life in the. Cincinnati zoo, at present aged eighteen years, her mate dying short time ago at twenty-four years of age. Although diligent search has been made by officials of the National Asso- ciation of Audubon Societies for other specimens of this once plentiful bird and in spite of the fact that reward of $1 ,5OO has been offered to any per sons finding nest of them, the search has been thus far unsuccessful and the reward is still unclaimed. As late as 1877 nesting place of these birds was known in Michigan, which was twenty eight miles long and four miles wide. Audubon is quoted as observing nest ing place of the pigeons in Kentucky early in the last century which was forty miles long and three miles wide. Either boys and men gathered and slaughtered the birds with clubs, guns and nets, bag of 500 birds in one day being a common thing for one person. If more were killed than could be car ried off, droves of hogs were turned in to fatten on what were left. This treatment greatly and gradually re- duced the number of the pigeons until some three years ago but seven speci- mems of the beautiful bird could be found in the country. This ruthless slaughter and it's tragic ending may well serve to enforce the importance of preserving the useful birds not yet ex- tinct, but which are slaughtered wan tonly in their roasting places in the south during the winter months.
