the agriculture department pre-.
pared by Henry Oldys, of the bio
logical survey
Mr.. Oldys also sets forth the
significant fact that European
game is cheaper on American
markets than is native game.
Here in brief are the tragic an
annals of the passin gof American
game.
A herd of 10000 buffalo USED
to visit lick near Onondago lake
N. Y. Settlers killed 700 there
one year. In 1880 the last buf
falo east of the Alleghenies was
killed. In 1897 the last wild buff
falo in the country, outside the
preserves, was killed. Good bye
bison.
Antelopes? There are but IT..
900 left in the country.
Moose are holding their owl
fairly well, but in the remote fast
ness of the north woods.
Deer, the most persistent of bis
game, have practically disap
peared from fully one-fourth Of
the states already.
Wild pigeons, once the mos
abundant of small game birds
have vanished. So far as anyone
knows, there is but ONE left il
the world, that in the Cincinnati
ZOO.
And so all down the list of less
fer game. Practically all of oul
game birds and animals face the
possibility of early extinction.

Have Murderer
|... But No Murder

The police department of New
York telegraphed to the Pierce
county sheriff's Office that they
had a man in their prisons wanted
for murder in Pierce county. The
authorities here searched around
but could find no one wanted ex-
cept for the murder of a woman
about two years ago in Wilkeson.
They asked for a description. The
data returned was: Name, Mike;
height, feet, and weight 200
pounds. This does not very well
correspond with the man wanted
for the Wilkeson crime as he is
an Italian, small and light.
The authorities are still looking
for some murder to fit Mike.

Points on Atlantic Coast 20 All
Missouri River Transfer
stations.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Proposed ad-
vanced in class freight by railways operat-
ing between the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers which were to have become effective
on October %. 1911. we're suspended by the
Interstate Commerce commission today
until December 30.
The suspension affects all class rates
from Atlantic seaboard points TO Kansas
City. Omaha and other Missouri river trans
fers. The increases proposed average about
cents a hundred pounds on freight of the
first class.
The rates attacked are substantially the
same as those complained of in the well
known Burnham M Hanna Munger case. In
1908 the commission issued an order in that
proceeding. reducing the rates on first
class freight from 90 cents to 81 cents a
hundred pounds and making proportlonate
reductions on freight of other classes. The
railroads contested the order which was
effective for two years from November 10,
1908, In October, 1910, the United States
supreme court sustained the commissions
order and the lower rates were made eff
fectlve Immediately, They continued in eff
feet only fourteen days when at the eX-
piration of the two years life of the order
the railroads again advanced them.
The advances were suspended and the
case will be heard probably in the early
autumn.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Aug. 7.-(Speclai)
The legality of a divorce granted by a
South Dakota court in the palmy days of
the divorce industry promises to play an
important part in a peculiar case which
has been Instituted here In which the par
ties in interest were formerly residents of
New York state. In 1905 r. l., Meldrin.
formerly of New York, was granted a
South Dakota divorce. On his return east
he married wife No. 2. About a year ago
Meldrn, who was a railroad engineer, was
killed while on duty. Wife No. l entered
suit for damages against the railway COM
pany, seeking to recover damages in the
sum of 5000 for the death of Meldrin, and
alleging that the divorce granted him In
South Dakota was invalid The second
wife now has commenced a damage suit
against the railway company by which Mel
drin was employed. fixing her alleged dam
ages at a greater sum than wife No, 1.
1t is said the railroad company is willing
to settle with the first wife, but is unable
to do so because Of the suit of the second
wife, who now Is in Sioux Falls seeking to
establish the legality of Meldrins residence

Another Seven Years Work.

TECUMSEH, Neb., Aug 7.-(Special)-
Something over seven years ago Drs. @.
L. and Leta NJ. Pickett went from the
Tecumseh Christian church as missionaries
TO the charge at Laoag, Luzon, Philippine
islands. A few years before coming to
Tecumseh both doctors, being husband and
wife, had graduated in theology and been
regularly ordained ministers, and had COM
pleted courses In medicine as well. They
were especially well equipped for the mis-
sionary work. When they went to Laoag
they had one daughter, now a girl of
some 70 or II years. The city of Laoag
was in a bad state when the missionaries
went there, the islands then just coming
under United States regulations. Sanitary
conditions were terrible. Drs. Pickett
rented an old Spanish mission building
and proceeded to administer to the spirit
ual and physical wants of the natives
Their success has been phenomenal Both

they were obliged to have help 30 fast

women and children were treated daily

cient to pay for drugs is exacted, but If
not able the treatment is given just the

have become Christians. This spring Drs.
Pickett and family, two boys having been
born to them at Laoag, came to America
for a few months vacation. A visit was
paid Tecumseh, and then they went to
Minneapolis to visit relatives, In the mean
time Or. c. L. Pickett has been preaching
over the country in an endeavor to raise
funds to erect and maintain first-class
hospital of thirty or more rooms at Laoag,
and the money was secured. He also took
post graduate course in medicine in the
east. Mrs. Pickett did some special work
at Minneapolis. The family is now en- route
TO San Francisco and next month will re-
turn to the islands for another seven
years work. Their daughter, Lois, spoken
