The first stop was aS Chiffon, this

companied by her white cat, came d,
board. The trip was enlivened by
tender "reminiscences Of homestead life
in Mellette county and Of Tie tender
farewells Of one of the fair sex of
Wood. Other topics Of conversation
were numerous, the crown;ng debate
being whether a man would go wild
if he stayed here for. twenty years
The gentleman from Kansas City was
a prominent member of the party and
delighted all by his winning ways.
The party arrived in good shape al

who got fearfully sunburned and went
in search of milk bath to assuage
his pain. The last that was seen oi
our late barber, j. j. Quigley, of Car

Theodore Schied and family who
live in the Butte Valley district left
Wednesday for Winner where they
boarded the train for an extended
visit with friends at Omaha, and their
old home in Bluffton, Ohio. Mr..
Scheid recently made proof on his
homestead, but says that he is not
quitting the country, but on the con-
trary will close up his business affairs
in Ohio and expects to return to his
Mellette county homestead in Sep
tember and establish his permanent
home. He expects to add to his land
holdings here and devote considerable
time to the stock and dairy industry.
Their many friends here will await
their return and give them hearty
welcome back to this land of promise
aud wonderful opportunities.
There will be no preaching at the
school house next Sunday morning,
as it was decided it would be best to
combine the morning service here and
the Butte Valley service in the after
noon, and all go to thePeterson Grove
where basket dinner will be served
and Rev. Keepers will deliver an ia.
teresting sermon. The regular even
ling services will be held here-vif i
don't rain.

Some years later this herd was pur.
chased by Scotty PHILIP, and has
remained intact up to this time. On
thdir large fenced range they are
living under natural conditions, and
have increased and thrived in their
partial captivity. Occasionally one
has been butchered, and the meat on
account of its novelty and not its
really being edible, brought fancy
prices.
The herd is o about to be prok-
up and sold. Then men who have
personal knowledge of the events sur
rounding its origin are scattered far
and wide; many of them, in fact have
gone to the world beyond. To those
who know, the sale of this buffalo
herd is more than a commercial tran
saction, for it marks the closing Incl
dent of a bit of thrillingly interesting

The Byrne Tax Law
is Hard on Poor Man

Huron, S. d., Feb. 16.-The progress

city today received a letter from one
H. +. Heidam of Beresford, S. D., dat
ed February 18th, complaining Of the
injustice wrought by Governor
Byrne's tax commission. Mr., Heidam
and his wife are now about rs years

a small farm a few years ago and
bought a little cottage in Beresford
where they We're to spend their re.

the cottage.
Their entire savings of a life time
OF work and the sale of their land
consists of a small cottage in Beres-
ford and 100000 which is loaned out
at 5 per cent Interest and brings them
in 100000 a year as an income from
which to live.
The tax commission ordered The
local to enforce the assess
ment Of credits. In compliance with
this the old couple put in their

cottage, which at the local levy at
Beresfcrd takes $4,000 to pay the
taxes. This amount deducted from
$4,000 leaves them s131.0s from

Notice of a new postofice ruling
was received yesterday by the post
master to the effect that hereafter
letters, post cards and postal cards
can be received without any postage
paid on them and forwarded to ad-
dressee where double postage must
be delivered.
Heretofore letters or post cards re-

were held at the Office while the post
master notified the %addressee to for
ward the required amount of postage
when the mail was then sent on. In
this way the addressee had to pay
double postage--the amount required
to put on the letter enclosing that
postage.
Under this new ruling the letter or
card is SEN right on at the same
cost to the addressee but without the
delay required to go through the red
tape of writing, receiving a reply and
then stamping and forwarding the
letter or card in question.
There is a provision in the order
cancelling this provision where the
writer purposely leaves off the post

Crawford and Byrne
are Growing Weaker
tBy Alfred Burkholder)

The past week has marked the
opening of great political activity all
along the line in South Dakota, and
the machine and anti-machine repub-
lican factions of the state, so-called,
now have grappled for the death
struggle between the factions which
will terminate for the time being in
the primary election on Tuesday, the
oath of March.
Features of the week have been
addresses by Senator Crawford and
Governor Byrne, leaders of the ma
chine or majority faction. BY his bit
ter personal assaults on those who
exercise the right of American citi-
zens to oppose his candidacy, and give
reasons for so doing, Senator Craw-
ford is said to have weakened his
campaign for denomination and reelec-
ton. 1t is pointed out that years ago,
it is today, a "huTrah" campaign was
effective in getting the voters Of a
party in line, but that in these modern
days an appeal to prejudice and bit
ter personal assaults for the most
part falls on deaf ears and are not so
effective in the vote-getting line as a
plain statement Of the party issues
without resort to personalities.
1t is charged that Senator Craw-
ford's whole purpose in placing his
campaign for denomination on a per
sOnal attack basis is to work upon the
prejudices of the voters and draw
their attention away from the record
which he has made during the time
he las represented the state in the
upper branch of congress. 1t is also
charged by his political and party op-
many Instances hat he was a traitor
to progressive republican principles.
Those who are not interested in any
of the candidates for United States
Senator express Tire opinion that Sen
ator Crawford would make more votes
himself and his faction if he aban-
doned his petty scolding of men who
oppose him and discuss the issues of.
the present primary campaign in a.
manner becoming the dignity of a
member of the American house of
lords.
