MST0RY WRIT TENBY WA. FALCONER

with him the official dispatches of
General Terry, which gave to the.
world the first news Of that terrible,
disaster.
Citizens Get the News
The citizens were awakened early
in the morning Of the 9th OF July
by the crying, Extra! All about
the, Custer massacrev People were
dumbfounded when they read the
news. 1t was less than SIX weeks
since these officers and men had
been in Bismarck, visiting the sew
cral stores to do some trading be-
fore they left on the expedition.
| clerked in the Mclean e. Mac
nider store in Bismarck from 1874
to 1884, and can we'll remember
hearing Captain Keogh and other
officers saying that they were GO
!. ing out after the Indians. but that
they would be back in August, as
, they intended to 20 to Philadelphia
Ito take in the Centennial. Poor
fellows; more than Onc!thlrd OF
them never came back
Comanchc was taken from the
boat and placed in Scott & Millet's
livery stable in Bismarck. | saw
the horse a number of times while
he was confined in this livery
stable. He. had several wounds;
one very bad wound on the right
hind leg. After the remnant of the
Seventh Cavalry returned to Fort.

1876, following it's disastrous CAM
paign against the Indians, Conan.
che was led down to the river land
ing, placed onta boat and sent to
Fort Lincoln.
Favorite AIMING Ladies' -.
After the horse was restored to
health he was in great demand for
a lady's riding horse. The rivalry
among the young ladies of the
garrison at Fort Lincoln as to
whom should be awarded the privi-
lege CT riding him on several occa~
sions when riding parties went out
from the post, caused a great deal
of heartburns. To solve the vcxa
tious problem, and as a deserving
tribute to Comanche, the command
ing officer at the p ost, Colonel
Sturgis, issued the following order:
Headquarters. Seventh United
States Cavalry, Fort Abraham Lin
coin, Dakota Territory, April 10,
1878. The horse known as Conan
che being the only living represen-
tative of the bloody tragedy of the
Little Big Horn, June 25, 1876, his
kind treatment and comfort shall
be matter of special pride and
solicitudc on the part Of every
member of the Seventh Cavalry,
to the end that his life be preserved
to the utmost limit. Wounded and
SCARED as he is, his very existence
speaks in terms more eloquent than
words Of the desperate struggle
against overwhelming numbers. of
the hopeless conflict and the heroic
manner in which all went down on
that fatal day The commanding
office of Troop / will see that al
special and comfortable stable is
fitted up for him, and he will not
be ridden by any person whatso-
ever, under any circumstances. nor,
will he be put. to any Kind Of work.

DAVIS GOING TO PHILIPPINES? OH.
NO! THOMPSON OF OHIO IS GOING

and no longer his old self. He's
spoken, of as having been much under
the influence of his son, former
Lieutenant Wood, whose career since
leaving the islands hasn't marked
him as very discreet young man.
If an unpleasant situation really
does prevail it will be far plcasantcr
to have it discovered by friend Of
Wood than by special commissioner
with disposition ITO find all the
fault he can.
However, the betting in Washing
ton is that Commissioner Thompson's
conclusions will be Governor General
Wood shat he'll find the only thing
the matter with Woods administra-
ton has been that he hasn't had
power enough.
Will Please Rubber Interests
This is Washington's bunch on
general principals, and for the more
specific reason that it's finding
large American rubber consumers will
like.
The rubber interests, as everybody
knows. want an American source Of
supply. The Philippines are good
islands for the purpose, but are they
American and can they be depend
ed on to stay so? The rubber folk
hesitate to invest money there until
they're certain the answers to both
these questions are safely affirma-
tive.
Far be it from Washington to sur
mise that this investigation won't be
entirely impartial.
Experience has shown. however,
how often impartial Investigations
lead to just such results as large In
tcrests, rubber -and otherwise, were
hoping they would. And American
rubber interests certainly are hoping
that Csrmi Thompson's Philippine
survey will. convince him Of the de-

THEATRE FANS
PLEASED WITH
MUSICAL SHOW
George Whites Scandals Has
Glittering Procession of
Lavish Scenes

George Whites Scandals. musi-
cal revue repletc with beautiful SGT
tings and gorgeous costumes, pro-
vidcd more than two hours of hilar-
ious entertainment for the theatre
goers Of Bismarck and SURROUNDING
territory ut the city auditorium last
evening. The entire production, which
ran for one year in New York and
six months in Chicago, was brought
here and the go0d-sized audience was
we'll pleased with the show. The
revue was in two acts and 25 scenes
and employs more than 80 players.
There was distinct touch of novel
ty in this sixth edition Of the Sean
'dals. Many Of the impressive scenes
in the show are obtained by the use
of curtains, such as the silver. gold
and diamond curtains. drawn by APP
propriatcly attired ladies of the en-
semblc, in the Year After Year
We're Together" number; the "Mah
Jong" set, an oriental fantasy; the
"Rosc of Madrid" scene and the
"Araby" number.
Perhaps the most beautiful scene
Of the show was the Garden Scene"
which included songs by Sonia De
Calvc and the Harmony Trio. and a
fine display Of toe dancing by, Jennie
Lind.
Dances by the De Nardos in the
"Araby' scene and again in the
Rose of Madrid" number were cX-
ccptionally we'll done and brought
a great amount Of applause from the
audience. Soft shoe dances mt vari-
Gus times throughout the production
by kimm and Ross were also clevcrly
executed.
Bright lines, scintillating with wit
and clever songs, added much to the
delight of the production, which was
unique and charming throughout,
with a glittcring procession Of law
ish scenes, an all-star cast. and a
chorus Of feminine beauties.

Three Ways to Succeed
A politician can succeed in about
three ways.
He can do it by being good mixer
and getting himself beloved
He can do it by skillful fixing.
He can do it by being a boss.
As n dispenser of soft soap and
good cheer. as a source of insplra-
ton and enthusiasm, as IA gush and
bunk artist-the "Hurrah boys type
its hard to think of anything Sena
tor Butler more distinctly is not.
His manner is cold and repellant,
more so than President Coolidge's
and everybody knows that the latter
doesn't exactly hug and kiss. He's
even silenter than the president, like
wise. Cal does drop Il remark now
and then and usually it's to the
point. Butler says nothing at all and
looks glum about it, ut that.

BUTLER LONELY, CLUM, UNPOPULAR
HE CARES NOT WHAT ANY MAN THINKS

Unpopular? You bet! -and among
the senators, | mean. suppose he
has personal friends. though I don't
see how.
Curtis Docs the Fixing
Some pretty good Republican fix
ing has been done at this session Of
Congress, but Senator Curtis did
most of it, so far as the upper
House is concerned.
Butler evidently hasn't the knack
of it.
Nearly every time he tries he fails.
Sometimes, by mcddling, he has un-
fixed the fiAings Of ADLER fixcrs-
fixings which, by good right, ought
to have stayed fixed.
Butler probably has it in him to
be Il boss, but in the Senate, he's
boss with mighty few BOSSES.
Doubtless he's the real thing in the
textile industry can imagine him
running a factory like an autocrat.
he has that absolutely under his own
control. What he says goes, or off
comes somebody's head
But in the Senate, no.
Over the Democrats of course he
has no influence; over the radicals
none. Just three Of the regular Re-
publicans follow him-Gillett Of his
own state and Dale and Green Of Yer
mont. The rest are as independent
OF him as IS Shipstead, the Farmer
Laborite.
Got Bad Start
In the Senate's opinion Coolidge
got big majority, not because Of
Butler. but in spite Of. him.
Butler got off in the Senate to Il
bad start, too.
ne came III, in a very junior ca
paclty, and an appointce, without a
mandate. and Immediately it was
made plan that he was the presi-
Dental representative on the floor
and expected to lead
The old-timcrs had other plans.
They've carried them out.

FIGHT QUACK
GRASS

"Destruction OF the quack grass
should be attempted when the root
stocks are the weakest" advises
i. +. Stoa. assistant agronomist at
the North Dakota Agricultural col
lege. "rhis condition is reached
about the time the plant begins to
set seed, or in this region about
July to TO- If there is heavy
growth Of quack grass this may
be moved first. The grass may
be used for hay and the blowing
will be done better. If the field is
heavily sodded the roots are near
the surface, and shallow blowing of
three to four inches is preferable.
In few days after new growth
has started, follow with harrow
Repeat the narrowing as often as
necessary to check all new growth.
The narrowing is to prevent new
growth becoming established, to
starve the roots. or bring them to
the surface where they will dry,
out.
The spring tooth type of harrow,
and special quack grass harrows,
abe to be preferred for this kind
OF work. A hot dry day for har-
rowing makes destruction Of the
root stocks more certain. The num-
Der of borrowings necessary will
depend much on the amount Of in
festation, the weather, and the eff
forgiveness Of each tillage opera
ton.
."The field during the next year
should preferably be seeded to the
kind of crop that will follow up the
cleaning process. This may be

s1a*uld be chcck-rowed for good
cuttivation. A smother crop may

can, be planted late, sometimes is
used effectively. Winter rye has

to-destroy and hold in check weeds,

E4he effectiveness of these rec
of6hcndations obviously will be- in
flnenced to a greater or less ex-
tSH by the weather, the soil, the
implements used, and the atten-
tn given il by the man in charge, :"
concludes Mr.. Stoa.

Washington, April 29-The Fill
pinos think Governor General Leon
ard Wood has too much power.
Wood thinks he hasn't enough.
Secretary of War Dwight r. Davis
announced he was going over to the
Philippines to find out which was
right.
The White House announced that,
oh, no, he wasn't; he couldn't be
spared from the War Department for
SO long a trip: that Carmi Thomp-
son of Ohio was going instead.
II Davis had said he wanted to 90
and President Coolidge had replied
that he couldn't spare him but would
send somebody else, that would have
been all right--rather flattering to
Davis than otherwise.
But that wasn't the way it hap
pened. 1t happened as outlined
above.
IT sounds as if Davis had spoken
q little too previously and the prcsi-
dent had given him a crack on the
knuckles and told him to take back
seat. Yet it's odd that Davis should
have been too previous. He isn't
much addicted to that kind Of mis-
takes.
Woods Best Friend
Much emphasis is laid here on the
fact that Carmi Thompson is General
Woods best friend.
Such being the case, it doesn't
necessarily follow that Thompson
wasspicked to decide in Woods favor
md against the Filipinos. If the
president expected the Filipinos to
win, it's conceivable that he might
have been extra careful to choose 4
special commissioner who couldn't
possibly be suspected Of any preju-
dice against Wood.
