YELLOWSTONE KELLY AND HIS RIFLE, "OLD SWEETNESS"
@, Western Newspaper Union.

IL was the year 17S3. The hostile Sioux had surrounded Fort Stevenson, x. D., and any white man who went out alone went to his death. When lhe mail was sent to Fort Buford, PTS miles away, a full company Of sol diers went along to guard it. One day, while the troops were out on a scout, important dispatches came which had to be delivered at oncesand there was no one who would dare at tempt the hazardous journey.
 A young man, named Luther ;. Kelly, learning of this, went to the commanding officer and offered to get them through alone. Kelly was Ii New Yorker who had come west seek ing adventure. Because of his youth the scouts around the fort had nick, named him "The Kid" and now these men told him he would be scalped be- fore he was a mile from the post. lie laughed at them.
 "I guess old Sweetness and 1 can take care of any Sioux who jumps us!" he said. "Old Sweetness" was his pet name for his favorite rifle.
 A few hours later Kelly walked into Fort Berthold IS miles from Steven son. The Mandan, Gros Nentre and Arikara Indians, camped about that post for protection against the Sioux, gathered about in admiration of his daring, for they lived in terror of tine Dakota warriors.
 Kelly stopped at BerthOld only long enough to eat and then pushed on to Buford, 200 miles away. Four miles from BerthOld he came to timbered valley. When he reached the bottom, q bullet whlzzed past his ears. As the scout dropped behind log, three Sioux warriors rushed him. "Old Sweetness" spoke three times and the warriors dropped in their tracks. Kelly returned to Fort Berthold and told of his adventure. The friendly Indians were wild with joy, and after that they called Kelly "The Little Man With the Strong Heart"
 The scout started again for Fort Buford and delivered the dispatches without further adventure. He be came the regular mail carrier, but the Sioux were so frightened of his "strong medicine" that they never at tackled him again.
 Kelly remained fin the United States service as q scout until 1883. He was q lieutenant of volunteers in fhe Spansh-American war and in the Philippines the old Indian scout as captain of the Filipino scouts, added further to his laurels of war before he retired as a~ fighting man.

LOCAL BILLS
 HAVE CAUSED
 MUCH TROUBLE
Secretary to Governor Nc Rae Says Such Measures Have Got People of the State in Bad Mess"

Little Rock, Aug. 22-Local bills have got the people of Arkansas III bad mess, says C, r. Newton, secretary to Governor McRea II we will pass constitutional amend ment rendering it impossible for such subsequent legislatures to fool with local bills at all, they will get down 10 business and pass construc- tive general bills to take care Of every local need. There is gen eral law which gives the people of a community the right to form fencing districts. We have the Alex ander law which gives the people the right to form their own road improvement districts, but legisla- lures have been ignoring the exis-
 nee of such a general statute and have gone right on introducing and passing local road improvement dis trict acts, whereby the people are imposed upon and outraged. It is the same all down the line, for the special act is the special weapon of special interest. This fact should be known by every man, woman and child in Arkansas.
 '"rhere has been d statute since 1907 providing means for the formation of fencing districts and yet the legislature has gone right along passing local fencing districts bills. Why have the legislatures done this? Having served four sessions in the General Assembly, and having conSis- tantly refused to introduce local bills of any kind, but havng witnessed the introduction of thousands of use less local bills, l am prepared to answer my own question and say to your readers that the reason legis- latures have gone right along pass ing unnecessary local bills, in the face of the existence of statute that put the power in the hands of the people themselves, is because mem bers of Cur legislatures resort to the local bill to override the wishes of the people they represent. This is not always the reason, but it is the usual reason.

 To Send Vast Stocks.
 At first. because of the nature of the country. food relief in Russia, necessarily must be limited, officials say. but as the administration vet eran organization reaches it's maxi mum speed they predict that vast stocks of foodslun' will cross the seas. These supplies have been specially telected t0 meet the dietary needs of the young, consisting of flight and easily disested foods, such az rice, sugar and rats for soup making, condenced milk and beans Actual distribution, 1t is said proba bly will he made at hut kitchens, where the children will be fed twice q day, as this method will insure the food reaching it's intended oh jccts and enable the most careful check on outgoing supplies.
 Secretary Hoover estimated the cost of Russian relief when il is well under way at from SI,250,oG0 to $1.500,000 q month The ad- lninistration will depend npon it's treasury, he said, for necessary funds and upon current contributions of cooperating organizations and in dividualS.
