Il. DEMAND FOR LEECHEs
Almost Nothing Compared With What
It Used to. Be Only a Few
v Years Ago. IIS.t

Forty years ago there were in
Paris alone 10 wholesale dealers in
sleeches, each of whom sold between
100000 and 100000 leeches monthly,
Tor which they received on an aver.
age about $50 thousand.
.$j Today there is only one dealer in
the capital and he gets from six to
seven seven francs (S1.20 to $1.4o) a hun

administration purchased $4,000
francs ($16,000) worth a year: this
was in the '30s and '40s of the 10Th
century; the administration now finds
itself amply supplied with $40 worth
annually. ID
The great breeding ground for

BUDDHISM BECOMING
POPULAR in AMERICA
Growth of Oriental Religions
On Coast Alarming to the
Christian Churches.

#.
Chicago, Dec. 9.-Alarm at the
growth of Buddhism on the Pacific coast
is expressed in the report of the home
missions committee at the federal
council of the churches of Christ, SUBJ
mitted today.
"One of the most startling facts. con-
f1rmed by investigation, is that Budd-
hism in Seattle, San Francisco and Los
Angeles, is aggressively propagating it
self from these centers,' says the re-
port. Buddhist temples have been
erected in which cultured priests adj
minister the rites and ceremonies of
their religion, and through a series Of
lectures in various parts of those cities,
are reaching large numbers Of Ameri-
cans, especially women. Christianity is
thus being put on the defensive and is
graphing in the struggle with religions
and cults of the orient. Recently thou
sands of Hindus have come. Next to
nothing is being done for them by our
churches"

OLD FARM MORTGAGE
KNOCKED OVER ROPES
Governors Conference Believed
to Have Sounded Death
Knell of Farmers Troubles.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 9.-The fifth
nual governors conference adjourned
Friday n met informally Saturday
with President Taft at Washington
n discuss rural credits and to meet
formally next year at Colorado Springs
at a date al yet undetermined. In it's
dying hours a resolution was adopted,
which in the opinion of many sounds
the knell of the time honored mortgage
on the farm and presages the advent OF
a new financial era for the farmers OF
the country. Should the Intent Of his
preliminary resolution attain fruit on
the governors believe it will result in
the establishment of a new system of
state banks throughout the United
States, governed by a uniform state
law.
These banks. under the resolution,
would be financed by private capital
and would operate under legislation
sufficiently elastic to enable them to
issue n for short or long terms
upon American farms, in lieu of mort
ages The bonds, in turn, in the opin-
ion of the governors, would be listed
under state supervision on the stock
exchanges of the world.
Hadtey Makes Speech.
All measures of correction designed
to check the increasing cost of living
will prove Intellectual, in the opinion Of
~ - w AL AEooo - WIN ~
dressed the conference, IF the Ameri-
can people continue to produce less and
eat more; continue to sell less Of food
stuffs to the other nations of the world
and to buy more of foodstuffs from the
other nations of the world"
THE problem that confronts us
therefore, continued the governor, 'is
as to how to increase production, and
that problem, in turn, involves the So
luton of the problem as to how to get
people n competent people onto the
land. The proper cultivation of our
farms necessitates smaller farms, or
better cultivated farms, and smaller
farms or better cultivated farms means.
of course, more people working on the
job.
1T is the duty of the people, acting
together as an organized society, to
concentrate the powers Of government
whenever it is necessary SO to do to
promote the happiness and the welfare
of the people. And, so, If / am cor
rect in my position upon this propo-
sition, then a recognized function of
state and national government should
be to bring about a proper distribution
of population between the cities and
the country, and also to direct, in an
effective way, the cultivation of our
soil"
The governor then discussed the ne
cessity of improving social life in the
country.

and at one time publisher of a paper
in Britton, S. D. In 1884 Boyce was
married in Pittsburgh and came back
to Lisbon, Dakota. where he ran a
paper. Some years later he went to
Chicago. where he accumulated wealth,
and where he got into politics, being a
member on the first public service COM
mission in the United States. He was
a candidate for congress at the time
of Mckinley's election, but was de-
feated. His wife became wrapped up
in society and travel n e~Xtravagant

Boyce contends that she encouraged
their son in a wild way of living. n
Boyce found it impossible to keep up.
He finally obtained a divorce in Aug
ust, 1908. and a year M a half later
married Virginia Lee. Now Mary Jane
Boyce is ~endeavoring to set aside he

and q large alimony were accepted by
her.
The appellant bases her action on the
fact that Boyce was not a legal resi-
dent of South Dakota. and that he
came to old Fort Sisseton camping
every year and that this constitutes
from the circuit court of Campbell
county. Boyce contends that ne had
been in Sisseton for the three years

BYRNE LOPS OFF JAIL
SENTENCE OF WITNESS
AGAINST FORMER PALS
Judge Gave Him 80 Days After
Arrangements Had Been
Made for Immunity.

Mitchell, s. D., Dec. 9.-There was a
great deal of wonderment created in
the city yesterday when it was an
nounced that Phil Medley had been
p%ardoned by Acting Governor Byrne
from his sentence of 80 days in the
county Jail, which sentence had been
pronounced Wednesday by Judge
Smith.
Medley was one of the six young fell
lows tried at the present term of court,
charged with robbing the clothing store
Of D. T. Becker. At the last moment
all the parties changed their plea from
not guilty to guilty. with the hope of
getting a light sentence. Medley, ac-
cording to the general sentiment, was
as guilty as the rest, and it could not
be understood why his sentence was 80
light, while Koolish, Aspinwall and
Woodman received six months in the
~penitentiary.
1t was stated last evening by one of
the attorneys connected with the prose-
cution that Medley's pardon came
about through his willingness to turn
states evidence to aid in convict1ng
the other parties. The prosecution
knew that Medley vas not as deep in
the recent transactions as the others
and an effort was mad two months
ago to get him to tell what he knew,
and he finally consented to do so with
the understanding that he would be
recommended to the court for a fine of
500. His. evidence, however, was not
needed. Believing that Medley was go
ing to turn states evidence, the de-
tense decided on changing it's plea.
When the court sentenced the parties
he gave Medley more than was antici-
pated, in lacking on the thirty days
in Jail H. E. Hitchcock, Medley's at
torney, went to Pierre on the night
train and presented to the acting gov
ernor the arrangement that had been
made and asked for a pardon. Under
those circumstances the acting COVER
nor granted the writ, which will arrive
in the city today, and Medley will be
given his release this afternoon.
On the night of the robbery Medley
was but slightly implicated in the work
that was done, and because of his con-
dition he was used more of a tool in
helping to get away with the goods
than involved in any actual crime.
Sheriff Berry expects to take Wood
man. Aspinall and Koolish to the
penitentiary the first of next week.

AS reports from the progress of the
revolution IN China follow one another
1t becomes more and more evident that
the change is to be for the orient
something like what the French revo-
luton was for western Europe. For
tunately 1t has been thus far free from
any reign of terror. The Manchu dyn-
asty has been permitted to abdicate
and depart in peace. But even his diff
ference is probably due less to any su-
perior conservatism on the part OF the
Chinese revolutionfsts than to the fact
that no foreign powers have interfered,
as was the case when an aroused
democracy menaced not only the
Bourbons. but every royal house in
Europe.
