METEOR |LLUM|NtS
STARRY HEAVENS
METEOR FLASHES ACROSS SKY
MONDAY EVENING, ACCOM-.
PANIED BY GLARE AND.
SOUND OF CONCLUSION.
Flashing across the heavens from

Flashing across the heavens from
a position near the zenith to the hor-
lion in the northwest, MANY obsery-
ers of the skies Monday evening
shortly after ten saw what is beliey-
ed to be a meteor. The heavenly
body was apparently much larger
in size than an ordinary shooting or
falling star and diffused a bright
light which Illuminated the earth
very brilliantly.
After traversing part of the dis
lance from the zenith to the horizon
the meteor seemed to divide in much
the same manner as an ordinary
Fourth of July rocket and several
small parts fell to the earth in north
west. At the same time this division
OF the body occurred a noise was
heard corresponding very much to the
sound of a cannon being discharged
a number of miles away. The glow
which had Illuminated the heavens
during the passage Of the meteor con-
tinued for about a minute, making
the occurrence of the phenomenon
doubly strange.
According to scientists falling stars
or meteors are caused by the passage
of heavy metallic or earthly bodies
through the atmosphere which en-
%velopes the earth, the body taking
fire from the friction caused by con-
tact with the air particles. Meteors
have been found imbedded in the
earth shortly after their fall and they
have been found in a semi-molten
state, caused by the intense heat to
which they were subjected during
their passage through the air which
surrounds the earth. The sounds
which were heard may have been the
conclusion with the earth OF the ex-
plosion of the meteor itself.

EXPLODING GASOLINE
STARTS BIG BLAZE
FIRE IN OIL SHED OF HARD.
WARE STORE QUENCHED
by QUICK RESPONSE
OF DEPARTMENT.

Shortly after ten O'Clock last even
ing the fire department was called
out to quench a fierce blaze which
had originated in a gasoline storage
shed in the rea of the hardware
store of Peterson & Hoist. Only the
absence of a strong wind and the
quick response of the tiremen pre-
vented a blaze which might have
wrought immense damage, as the
dry conditions OF roofs and buildings
and the danger from teh burning oil
put things in a very p%recarious con-
dition. AS it was the damage will
probably not exceed 500. More harm
was done to the stock in the rear of
the alley entrance by water than by
fire. No insurance was carried.
According to statements made at
the time of the fire by George L.
Peterson, a clerk in the hardware
store, TO members of the city police
and several b%ystanders, he was In
the oil she'd drawing some gasoline
for his automobile which stood in
the alley, when he struck a match to
ascertain the amount in the tank.
Immediately there was a flash and
explosion and the shed was afre.
The small gasoline tank which was
being filled was hurled across the
alley about 80 feet. The blaze was
communicated by the exploding oil
to the frame structure where a con
siderable amount of goods were
stored. Here water quenched the
flames after a short fight.
This morning II. A. Peterson, one
of the proprietors, stated that the
fire had originated in the oil shed
and from there spread to the rest Of
the property. He thought that unless
the stock vas unduly dmaged by
water the loss would be covered by
Size.
The glare of the flames attracted a
large number Of people who were
still on the streets. The quick re-
Spouse of the fire department Of the
fire department to the alarm was
commended, in view Of the danger to
which the business section vas ex-
posed.

1000 INDIANS IN
CATHOLIC Meeting
.
THIRTY.SIX ST. JOSEPH AMI. ST.
MARX SOCIETIES TURN OVER
$4,000 TO BISHOP BUSCH
OF LEAD.

Pierre, S. D.-Bishop Busch, the
newly appointed Catholic bishop for
river, in South Dakota, held an In
dian congress of his charges among
the red men, at Cheyenne River
Agency, and it was attended by rep
resentatives from every Indian re-
servation j nthe state. The attend
ance reached fully two thousand, and
the congregations were as attentive
to the ermon and church work as
any could have been. Beside Bishop
Busch, the missionary priests who
We're present and took a part, Rever-
end Fathers Lindebner, of Pine
Ridge; Grote of Rosebud, Ambrose of
Crow Creek and Bede of Standing
Rock.
The reports made by the heads of
the societies of the church among
the Indians showed thirty-six st. JOS
eph societies and the same number of
St. Mary societies, which two turned
over $3.50 to the Bishop to aid in his
work. At the meeting there were nine
teen persons baptized, and seventy
sever confirmed.
Resolutions we're adopted for a
committee of two from each society
to find out what could be done for the
benefit of the societies; giving to the
Crow Creek Indians all the rights in
the sessions of the congress, as those
which are located on the west side Of
the river; and the selection of Sam
Charger, as a delegate to the general
meeting of the federation of Catholic
Societies of America, which is to be
held in New Orleans late this fall.
The next meeting of the congress
will be held at Pine Ridge.

PLANNED
EAST OF RAPID CITY
STATE ENGINEERS WORKING ON
$2,Oo0,oOo PROJECT-TUN-
MEL PROPOSED FOR
CLARK COUNTY.

Pierre, s.. D.-The diversity of
character of South Dakota is shown
in two large projects which are TAX
ing up the time Of the State Engin-
eer Lea at the present. One of these
is in Clark county, and covers a
large drainage project, which will
cost owe 100000. The ditch will at
one place be thirty feet in depth, and
will drain a large area of swamp land
when it is completed. The commits
sioners of that county a few days ago
opened bids for the work, but on ac-
count of the figures submitted, have
that time the engineer has been max
ing estimates or a tunnel lined with
reinforced concrete to take the place
Of the deepest portion of the ditch.
The tunnel will be more costly in
construction, but a ditch of that
width, with the necessary ground for
disposal of the earth taken out will
mean the taking up of a wide strip
of ground, and one land owner is
asking $500 for the right Of way
wanted. The tunnel plan would elm
mate this expense, and would allow
the use of the land for agriculture,
which would be taken by the open
ditch.
The other project on which he is
working is an irrigation plan for the
country east of Rapid City, which will
mean the expenditure of practically
$4,000, 900 before it is completed. 1t
will mean the storage Of the waters Of
Rapid Creek, but all want it in the

holding them until they are needed.
1t will take a ditch twenty-five miles
in length to carry the water to the
proposed storage reservoir, and would
mean the irrigation of thousands of
acres Of land now given yer to graz
ing. and largely increase the popula-
ton Of Pennington county. At pres
ent there are numerous private ir-
rigating bitches taking water from
Rapid Crekk, but all want it in the

CHINESE PHEASANTS
TO Be INTRODUCE
STATE GAME WARDEN WILL DIS.
TRIBUTE THEM JUST AS SOON
AS HIS $1,000 FUND Is
AVAILABLE.

Pierre, S. D.-State Game Warden
Bancroft is in some difficulty through
the fact that under the operation Of
the law some $1,000 has accumu-
lated in the game fund which he can
not spend, for the reason that the
act does not make a specific APP
preparation of it. The fund is larger
than 1t was anticipated would be
derived from the fees provided and
some of it might be expended to
good advantage. For instance, the
law provides the warden may intro
duce Chinese pheasants and other
game birds into the state and he
made preparations to do SO, but can
not use a penny Of the fund for the
purpose. Howevr, he has his plans
complete and is awaiting the neces-
sary legislative permission to carry
them out the coming spring. He will
start with 100 pairs Of %hpeasants
which he obtains from Washington
and Oregon and these he will place
with responsible persons in each
county, who have agreed to take the
birds and care for them without ex-
pense and at the proper time turn
the chicks into the open.
DR.. Zetlitz. Of Sioux Falls, has
been breeding the %pheasants for
some time and they are thriving and
are now occasionally seen along the
streams of the lower Sioux. Frank L.
Bramble, of WATERFOWL, has several
covies of them but he keeps them in
confinement. Warden Bancroft says
he is satisfied that they are well
adapted to our climate and conditions
and will readily be propogated SO
that with the continuance of ade;
quate protection they will soon pro-
vide the state with a very gamy bird.
Mr.. Bancroft is also investigating the
Hungarian partridge as a possible i'm
p~ortation as an addition to the game
bird Of the state.
The question whether or not q
sage hen is a prairie chicken within
the meaning Of the law is agitatine
the warden's department. II 80, the
bird is protected and the warden
takes the view of it that 1t is. In q
large section Of the northwest por.
tlon Of the state the sage hen abound.

DROUTH ON RANGES
FORCES THE MARKET
BELLE FOURCHE MAN SAYS THE
RANCHMEN WILL SACRIFICE
STOCK BECAUSE GRASS
HAS BEEN KILLED.

Omaha, Neb.-On account Of the
long continued dry weather and the
intense heat that has prevailed since
early in June, conditions on the
stock ranges of western Nebraska,
Dakota and eastern Montana are be-
coming alarming. Although cattle
and sheep have not commenced to
die Of starvation on account of the
shortage of pasture, cattlemen and
foe masters look upon the situation
as being the most critical in years.
j. B. Welton, of Belle Fourche, S.
D., one of the leading cattle growers
in the western portion of the state,
has been in Omaha several days. and
speaking Of conditions in his section
of the country, which is right in the
heart of the range said:
"Stockmen in our section of tbs
country are going to make their ship
ments early, not because the cattle
are in good condition and ready for
market, but because there is no
longer any grass IN the range, it hav-
ing dried up and become as deaGIand
brown as ordinarily in November.
THE railroad companies have
been asked to set in 500 cars at Belle
Fourche this month. with large num-
bers every day thereafter until we
can get our cattle and sheep to mark
ct. On account of the long drouth
we fear the winter supply of feed
on the range will be unusually light.
Elm portions of the range country
there has been a scourge of grass
hoppers that have eaten most Of the
grass and verdure. The dry weather
has permitted Of their Matching and
hundreds of miles of range has been
swept bare by the insects.
"Some Of our people have appeal
ed to Secretary Wilson asking that
they be permitted to run their herds
and f1ocks in the forest reserves,
which, being high in the mountains.
have not been so badly affected by the
drouth. The request has been grant
ed, but comparatively the reserve ere
so small that this will afford but
temporary relief.
Conditions are the worst that they
have been since the west became a
stock country, and Indications are
that people who during the next
year eat prime beef OF mutton will
pay much more for the same than al
the present time"

FEAR OF CHOLERA EPIDEMIC
NOW HANGS OVER ROME
Several Suspicious Cases Have Been
Detected Since Wholesale ex-
odus From Naples.

ROME Sept. 2S.-Fear OF cholera
epidemic in Rome became acute To-
day. A number Of those who nave
fled to Rome from Naples, where the
disease is widespread. are being heid
here for observation.
Most OF the thousands who have
left Naples are women and children
and of the weil-to-do class. Several
suspicious cases OF sickness have de-
veloped since their arrival in Roric
and should they be diagnosed as chol-
era, the city will quarantine against
the Naples district.
The government today sent warn
ing to the Naples authorities to guard
her ports against all emigration ana
TO exercise still more rigid quaran-
tine OF the infected parts OF the city.

OF soldiers will have 10 go TO the as

new cases and four deaths In Naples

.TOuCH0F AUTUMN
IN HUDSON STORE
Artistic Decorations at Fall Opening
Suggest Season; Splendid New
Goods On Display.

Crimson and gold leaves. shocks OF
corn. sheaves OF wheat, and branches
OF bittersweet, the red berries Oh
which touch great golden pumpkins
enter into the artistic decorations OF
the ]. L. Hudson store for the fall
opening OF that establishment. now In
progress.
The autumn note Is sounded In the
attractive and artistic decorative
scheme. against which background the
new fall goods loom up 10 such adj
vantage. In this respect OF arrang-
ing a distinct decorative scheme for
spring and fall openings. the J. l..
Hudson store stands alone among the
big establishments OF Detroit. Mr.
Hudson employs a decorative artist
for this purpose, into whose hands ne
leaves the entire arrangement. with
the result that the semi-annual open
ings are marked by unique and beau
tiful decorations in keeping with the
season OF which they are distinctive
part. This work Is accomplished by
woman whose clever brain and
hands evolved the present striking
and original decorations which are
the admiration of everyone who visits
the store.
That Detroit merchants have kept
pace with the phenomenal growth OF
the city 10 nowhere better evidenced
than in the Hudson store, where the
markets Of the world are represented.
The goods displayed represent the
finest selections by expert buyers and
are chosen with such care and regard
for the shopping public's needs that
every taste and every pocketbook may
be sure of being suited.
AS Is the case in most OF Detroit 9
big stores recent additions and remod-
cling have added greatly TO the space
In the Hudson store, and the various
departments OF the seven floors OF
the building have been enlarged TO
the gain OF both merchant and public.
The necessity ut this season OF the
year of looking into the matter or
fall clothes sends the majority or
women to the ready-todon depart
ments, and the suite and gowns and
hats seem to be the mecca OF every
shopper. Everything that is up-to-
date is to be found in the Hudson
store. There is wide range OF smart
looking suits in the latest rough
tweeds and homespuns, in the hobole
and modified hobble skirt OF the mo-
ment, and ready-to-wear gowns that
for beauty and At could not be ex-
celled by the best custom modistes
and tailors. The variety OF models
and colors in hats Is bewildering'
with here, a pert looking little poke
and there, a big picturesque Gains
borough with the very new Cossack
or Hindu turban to attract the eye
of miladi and make her long for the
purse OF Creosus.
In this year of silks and Gibbons,
the Hudson store lis to the fore with
beautiful assortment of every fabric
that comes from the looms. In RID
bons and laces and hose and gloves
the variety IL fascinating. The needs
OF the home In furniture. linens, drap
cries, kitchen, dining room are all q
concern of this big store. and the
housewife cannot fail TO find much TO
interest her In the new things now

OPEN VERDICT RENDERED.
No One Held Responsible For
Michael Moinar's Death.

An incomplete and unsatisfactory
verdict was returned by the jury in
Coroner Rothacher's court. Wednes-
day, in the case of Michael Molnar, the
Delray Hungarian, who died Saturday
night following row on the street.
The verdict declared that Molnar
came to his death as the result of "a
push or blow. which caused him TO
fall on his face. striking his chin on
the curb and producing a fracture OF
the base OF the skull" No one Is
held liable for the death.
The evidence tailed with the re-
ports OF the affair as first given out,
that Molnar, while drunk, interfered
with some boys and that Arthur
Schmidt went to their protection.
Then Molnar turned on Schmidt, and
the latter pushed him away. Molnar
fell, striking on his chin.
