the life Of John Schmidt, a farmer

became caught in the machinery

TRADE REVIEW
General Tone of Conservatism
Features Business.

New York, Nov. 17.--Followiug il
a review of trade for the past week by
Bradstreet's commercial agency:
Current reports, weather disturbance
ca and consumption of steel products
indicate good conditions, but future
buying is low. consery atism Is 10
evidence, finished steel is weaker az
the result of increased competition
for orders, and industry is running
at a slower gait. though the quieting
down is not general and it is significant
that mero industries are being
pushed to make deliveries.
Conservatism displayed is largely
due to uncertainty over tariff read
justments, which it 10 thought may
force lower prices. Another factor
that exerts a strong lettering influence
is the absence of a free market fol
loans. But in many quarters consid'
erabla Improvement work is planned
for the spring of 1914, and optimism
still prevails.
Business failures for the week were
3O5, which compared with 260 in 1912,

DAKOTA COAL


Isabel, Nov. 1.-THE state board of
railway commissioners investigated the
coal mine of Robinson 81 Linde here
Monday and Tuesday with the purpose
of finding if there was sufficient coal
of a marketable quality to warrant es-
tablishment of an adequate rate in the
state to enable the company to dispose
of its coal in a profitable manner At
present the rate from Isabel to Mo-
bridge is as great as from Round,
Mont, to Mobridge.
The commission found fully 1000,
600 tons OF an excellent grade of lig-
mite coal in a vein six feet deep, in
sight, and has adjourned it's meeting
until a later date at Pierre. The
commission took train to Aberdeen and
then motored to Mellette to attend a
hearing on a petition for daily train
service ON the Minneapolis g. st. Louis
road from Tolstoy west to LeBeau on
the Missouri river. A semiweekly
train is all that is maintained on that
line ct the present.

HOBO DAY
Students of State Agricultural
College Celebrate.

Bookings. Nov. II. Friday VISA
hobo day at the state college. All
men we're dressed as hoboes while
girls were bedecked in the gay attires
of Indian squaws. The college barber
has had a weeks vacation owing to
the edict that no whiskers must be
shaven during that time. The STAN
pede for barber shops was so great on
Friday evening that it is rumored
many were obliged to go to volga
and Aurora to get their fodder"
trimmed.
Hobo day is observed at state college
on the day of the hardest football game
on the local field. Both 'boes and
squaws meet the visiting team at the
depot, and after u grand parade hike
for the college grove, where a really
truly weary willie dinner is eaten from
tin cans. Supplies are foraged from
the indulgent housewives of Brook
ings. Hobo day closes after the foot
pail game.
There is considerable college talk
of submitting Dakota Day" for hobo
day in the future, and making the
feature something of an historical
pa yeant. 1t is also rumored that such
a day could be fttingly closed with a
grand fireworks display similar to
those shown at the state fair.

WHOLESALE MILLINERS
DEFEAT BIRD LOVERS
Senate Committee on Finance Moved
By Powerful Lobby and Will Per
nit Slaughter to Continue.

Bird lovers throughout the United
States, who have, for the past two
months, been making a determined eff.
fort to prohibit the use Of wild bird
plumage for millinery purposes, have
just met a decisive defeat in the
finance committee of the United States
senate.
AT the beginning Of the present ses-
sion Of congress, an amendment was
added to the tariff bill preventing the
importation Of feathers, quilts, heads,
wings, tails, skins, or parts of skins, of
wild birds, either raw or manufactured
which were not used either for educa.
tional or scientific purpose. This pro.
vision did not apply to the feathers Of
domestic fowls of any kind.
This amendment passed the house of
representatives and would have passed
the senate had the wholesale milliners
not brought enough influence to change
the senate committee on finance. The
passage of this amendment would be
the greatest step in wild bird protec.
tion that has ever been taken.
"There is no logical reason why wild
birds should be slaughtered merely for
use as fancy millinery, especially when
these creatures arc Of economic i'm.
portance not only in the United States
but in every country in the world, I"
says II. Gilbert Pearson, secretary Of
the National Association Of Audubon
societies, who has been making a hard
fight for bird protection at has been
proven many times that wild birds are

Jones said the police don't get ont

Siegmund reported a hay deal had

chance to buy first class at $l3 a ton.
He asked unanimous consent to make
the needed purchase. Cornelius reported
also on the hay proposition. The coun.
Gil voted permission to buy the hay.
Stolz and Hatch argued in favor of
buying good hay for the entire year.
Depot Question.
The park committee reported unfav.
orably on the petition of the Salem,
Falls City & Western railroad for per.
mission to install temporary waiting
room on Marion Square.
Constable thought it better to give
the public a place to stay out of the
rain. He believed the travelling public
should be considered.
Hatch suggested that it might be
placed on High street.
Cummings suggester that there was
something in the donation of the park
which would prevent.

want too heavy rent for his lot at High

mittee and a committee Of three citi.
zens was carried.
Turner moved that property owners
be notified to meet with the committee
and S. P. representatives in the city
hall next Friday evening at O'Clock.
Rigdon Question Again.
Jones moved that a committee be
named to wait upon Mr.. Rigdon and
solicit his return too the council to re-
sumo his duties.
Turner opposed. He said Rigdon
went out voluntarily and should return
voluntarily. He hoped the rest of the
council would have the stamina to
stand by the action of a few weeks
ago.
To pass resolution was to admit
the council had been wrong, he said,
The motion was lost to 3.

natures check against insect pests. As
these wild birds are killed off, vast
armies Of insects are taking their
places. Not only have number Of
species Of highly plumaged birds in the
United States been on the verge of
determination, but many species are
practically gone in different parts Of
the world, merely to satisfy the de-
mands of the millinery market"
When this amendment passed the
house, powerful lobby was organized
among the wholesale milliners in var
ious parts Of the country. Two firms
Of New York lawyers were employed.
So aggressive has been the campaign
that the amendment which gave pro-
lection to wild birds has been defeated
by the finance committee of the United
States senate, although one would think
this should carry from humane stand
point.
The three senators who have stood
by the wholesale mHliners in their
fight to continue the slaughter Of wild
birds have been Hoke Smith Of Georg-
Ia, William Hughes, Of New York, and
Charles A. Johnson, of Maine, These
men were a subcommittee of the SEN
ate committe of finance, to which the
matter was referred They rendered
a favorable report and their report was
ratified in caucus Of Democrats which
has just been held, so, when the tariff
bill passes the senate it will mean de-
feat to bird lovers throughout all Of
the country unless other influences can
be brought to bear upon the above
named committee.

of the opinion of each councilman and
it was not in the province of the com.
mittee to find out reasons. The report
was signed by Turner and Waring.
Hatch said that he had explained to
RigdOn. He said Rigdon three times
promised to vote for a La France en-.
gine, but failed. Hatch wanted some
one for acting mayor who would stay
somewhere
Waring said he thought RigdOn want.
ed more of an apology than reasons.
Constable suggested that Rigdon was
not candidate.
Cummings did not have a written re-
port. He declared the report was an
evasion. Turner told Cummings that
he was even with Rigdon and the may
or. He said the mayor had ignored
him in committee appointments and
Rigdon had talked sneeringly to him.
Continuing he assailed Turner at
some length for allowing prejudice to
allow him to insult the mayor and the
council. He got burst Of applause.
Questioned by Constable, Cummings
declared that he disagreed with the
city attorney as to the election of an
acting mayor
SOuthwick suggested that RigdOn was
not legally elected because the mayor
was still here.
,Minton said he called the attention
of the mayor to the law that night. The
mayor said the action could be ratified
at the next meeting
Turner Is Sarcastic.
Turner thanked Cummings. He said
he had not hoped to be able to manipu-
late politics so as to handle the council.
He did not attend the meeting when
RigdOn was chosen. He started out to
convince the aldermen that they were
wrong and succeeded. Turner said
Cummings "got up and beloved "
about the firemen S investigation report
of Turner and Waring, Then a special
committee was named, with Cummings
on it, and the same kind of a report
was brought in. Before he made the
first kick Cummings had heard no
evidence
