on Lower Brule Agency will give
their annual fair September 10, last
ing four days. Superintendent Dough.
erty is at the head of the enterprise,
and has arranged for all the Indians
possible from the surrounding res
ervations to attend. The display OF
horses and cattle will be of the best
as coming from the agency and from
the herds of the Indians. The red
men have been exceptionally sue
cessful this year in the production OF
crops, and displays of all kinds OF
grain will be made from the Indian
farms. The superintendent believes
this will be a great incentive to the
visiting Indians who are not engaged
in agricultural pursuits, to start in
farming. The superintendent has ar
ranged for some fine sporting events,
in which the Indians will compete,
and it is expected that fully 5000
Indians will be present during the
fair. Arrangements will be made to
feed them while at Lower Brule and
this OF itself will ge a big feature.
Hundreds of white people plan on at

Roosevelt's Emphatic Denial.

ltOOSGVeIyS fIlnDI1hllC DCUlaI,
Wilkos-Barre, pam attack on
Penrose was made by Roose-
welt last night after he had read the
senator's statement iii the Senate to-
day. The ex-president quoted from
letters and kilograms which he sent
to George b. Courtelyou, chairman of
the republican n%ctional committee in
1904, to prol , that no contributions
had been accepted from the Standard
Oil company.
"sr. Penrose and his allies and
the entire crowd of crooked politi-
clans and crooked %financiers who have
attempted to make these attacks up
on me-" said Col. Roosevelt, have
made them and are making them,
not only knowing they are false but
because they know that the forces be-
hind them me which I at this time
represent are the only forces which
the crooked politicians and the
crooked financiers of the country
have really to fear.
The only part of Mr.. Penrose's
statement that needs comment by me
is that portion in which he asserts
that had been advised of a heavy
campaign contribution from Mr..
Archbold in behalf of the Standard
Oil company to the republican nation
al committee and that l directly or
Indirectly requested a contribution
from Mr.. Archbold and his associates
interested in the Standard Oil COM
pany. This statement is false"
, Col. Roosevelt then read from
copies of letters which he said he had
sent to. Mr.. .Cortelyou the latter part
OF. October in 1904. In these letters
he said that he had been informed
that the Standard Oil people had on
tributed 100000 to the campaign
and old Mr.. Cortelyou that IL 1T
was true that such a contribution
had been made the money should be
returned at once.
"Mr. Cortelyou informed me-" said
Mr.. Roosevelt, that there had
been nc contribution received from
standard Oil people and that none
would be received. Over the telephone
last night, in response to q question
of mine, he said that he had at that
time made the statement and that
his memory and mine agreed as to
the circumstances of the occurrence,
If any contribution was received IL
was against my explicit and reiterated
directions as set forth in these letters
in response to which, as I have said
Mr.. Cortelyou informed me that my
directions would he complied with
and no contributions accepted from
the Standard Oil people"

lallies." MI. Roosevelt said: They

At the election this fall the
voters will be called upon to vote
Yes on no on an act to re-
peal Sections 10, II and ~ of
Chaptc& 244 of the Session Laws
OF 1907 relating to damages by

The 1907 law provides that
west Of the Missouri River no

animals. The country west Of the
Missouri river is generally set
tied up by struggling settlers,
and it is the custom of the cat
tlemen to pasture their herds in
the settlers crops, and under the
existing law, they cannot be
made to pay damages.
The law on which You will vote

and will, if adopted, compel each
cattleman to take care OF his
cattle. 1t will make no differnce to
us in tins county. ut we ought
to vote yes on this law as a
