RUSHTOTHEROSEBUD THOUSANDS OF LAND-SEEKERS CAMPED AT BONESTEEL. Town Grows from One Store to a City of Thousands — Ground Rents Are Enormous — GambT of All Kinds in Full Blast. V Bonesteel (S. D.) correspondence: There was a time when all roads led to Rome. It is changed now,-and they all lead to Bonesteel. And from the looks of this town, the very newest of the entire great West, every one has taken to the road that leads, by the way of Bonesteel, to the Rosebud Indian country, which lias been thrown open for settlement. Mlles and miles before the trains, which are crowded to their utmost capacity, come within sight of the town, the would be settlers on horseback, in wagons, and some even on foot, may be seen wending their way along the old Indian trail which, in later years, was made into a government road, bent on reaching Bonesteel. In the town proper hundreds of these seekers after Rosebud lands are camped in tents and wagons, while still others^are gathered in the dozens of frail —S^^i^-houses which have been has-' tily n^.,11 together. Two years ago Bonesteel consisted of one lonely country store. Two months ago it was a thriving town of 1.000, with a numbar of good, substantial buildings. To-day it is a city of thousands, most of whom are llring in tents. Saloons there are and gambling dens galore. Never in tho palmy days of Deadwood was gambling more rife than in Bonesteel. About every game •ver Invented can be found in one or f more of the many public resorts. There are fifty pouicemen. ten of whom ore I

United States marshals. In addition, there are three companies of United States troops from Fort Niobrara, who assist in preserving order. Ground Rents Enormous. Ground rents are something awful in this town. James Coyle owns a small lot on Main street. Three weeks ago he valued the lot at $2,000. Six months ago it was worth probably SIOO. To-day Coyle asks $3,200 for the ground rent for the next sixty days, any building erected to remain on the lot when it is returned to him. And he will get his price, too. A five-room residence is rented for the next two months at $l5O a month. A small space, 5x12 feet, between two stories, is rented for S7O per month. Dave Forbes rented a corner lot for S3OO and erected a $l5O building thereon. He is now offered for his bargain. According to several professional 10-' caters Oklahoma will probably furnish more would be homesteaders than any State in the Union. Michigan and Wisconsin come next, while lowa and Illinois will also be heavily represented. Minnesota and Nebraska will • send large qtfotas, and numerous inquiries * have been received from Kansas. In fact, those states which were settled by homesteaders originally, are send- *— Ing their young sons and daughters to ■ettle the Rosebud country. They know what the free homes did for the older states, and will repeat the operations of the law out here. Os the far Eastern States Massachusetts probably leads, with both New York and Pennsylvania as close seconds. A large number of women school teachers are coming from New England States, having arranged to take in Bonesteel and the St. Louis exposition on their vacations. Those who are successful in drawing desirable claims will probably never return to their old homes except on visits. Telegraphic Brevities. Cardinal Satoli was welcomed to America by more than 700 Catholic clergymen and laymen at the residence of Archbishop Farley. King Edward has conferred on Mme. Melba the decoration for science, art and music. She is the first woman on whom It has been bestowed. The union stone masons of Buffalo, N. Y., have declared their strike off, after •ix weeks’ idleness, and have returned to work at the old scale of wages. Charles Gennott of Forest City, Mo., a harnessmaker, was drowned while attempting to swim across the Tarkio. He tied a gig to bis body and it caught on to some driftwood.

| MAY DIG 14-lOOT CHANNEL FROM ST. LOUIS TO CHICAGO. A 14-foot waterway, connecting St. > Louis and Chicago, to permit passage of heavy-draft lake vessels, is projected by the United States government by utilizing the Mississippi and Illinois rivers ■ and the Chicago drainage canal. Surveys , have been made and maps drafted by ' the corps of engineers locsted at St 1 Louis and Chicago, and the reports of the surveys are about to be forwarded to W ashington. The surveys are for a 14foot channel, which will allow the large lake grain and ore whalebacks to reach St. Louis, as well as some of the pas- // h w KU ha J 'k? M । k / V ROUTE OF PROJECTED WATERWAY. senger steamers. The average draft of the lake boats is twelve feet. In the projected route the Mississippi is utilized to the mouth of the Illinois river. The channel continues up the Illinois to a point above La Salle, where it runs into the old Illinois and Michigan canal, which is completed and in operaI tion from Hennepin to a point near Chi-

cago. After following the Illinois and I Michigan canal it makes connection with the Chicago drainage canal, which it follows to Chicago, and finds its terminus in Lime Michigan. At present the government is building a canal from Chicago to the Mississippi, but it has only a seven-foot channel, which does not permit navigation of heavy draft steamers. It is known as the Illinois and Michigan canal. Work was started on it in 1890, and still continues, more than $7,000,000 having been expended. It is completed from Chicago to a point west of Hennepin and from Rock Island, its western terminus, east for about fifteen miles. In the surveys of the new route this canal has been used from Hennepin to the Chicago drainage canal. TO PLANT JEWS IN PALESTINE. Movement Started to Purchase Homes for Them There. A movement has been started in Chicago to establish a branch of the Jewish Colonial Trust Company, for the purpose of raising funds to purchase homes in Palestine for persecuted Jews. Joseph Cowen of London is the organizer. He has visited Boston, New York and St. Louis in an.effort to get additional funds for the purchase of lands. The fund al,ready lias more than $1,250,000 of the $10,000,000 capital needed. It is planned to get a subscription of $5 from each of the 2,0t»0 Zionists in Chicago, and the remaining 3,000 Jewish Zionists in the Western States. “It is only a question of a short time until practically all of the orthodox Jews will be Zionists,” said Mr. Cowen. “All the Jews are in favor of the movement, but certain of them want to get the land by prayer, by some miracle, while we believe in a practical method. The one objection to becoming a Zionist—that we are not patriotic to the country in which we live—is fast fading away. We are loyal to our respective governments, but we want to establish a home state without any army or a navy or any other defense except our good will for all nations.” Dr. G. M. Whipple of Danvers, Conn., has been appointed to a professorship in the department of science and art education at Cornell. H. H. Ballard, just 51 years old, is president of the Agassiz association, which has 1,000 branches. He organized the association in 1875, and has i been its head ever since. Cora Kent Bell of the first graduating ; class of Robinson seminary, Exeter, N. I H., left money enough when she died । to build a library at the institution and ■ i the structure was dedicated the other j I day. j

SWALLOW IS CHOSEN. PROHIBITIONISTS NAME THE •‘FIGHTING PARSON.” — G. W. Carroll of Texas Selected as His Running Mate — National Ticket Named by Acclamation After General Miles Had Withdruii His Name® Indianapolis correspondence: Silas C. Swallow, the “lighting parson” of Pennsylvania, is the nominee ol the Prohibitionists for President of the United States, lie was nominated by acclamation amid scenes of enthu- 1 siasm at 4:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. His running mate on the ticket is George W. Carroll, of Beaumont, Texas, a wealthy owner of oil properties, a philanthropist and a man of energy and busiues# integrity. Mr. Can-oil was opposed by Isaiah H. Amos, of Oregon, for the Vice Presidential honor, and the first roll call of the convention was taken to settle the friendly struggle. The Texan received G 26 votes and the Pacific slope man 132. Mr. Amos arose and moved to make the vote unanimous, which was done. The nomination of the famous Harrisburg minister and editor without opposition was made possible by -tirewithdrawal of the name of General Nelson A. Miles. Joseph P. Tracy, of Chicago, chairman of the Resolutions Committee, reported the platform at 2:15 o'clock. A minority report had been threatened, but the insertion of the planks about uniform laws, tariff revision, equal suffrage and election of United States Senators by the people brought a unanimous report, and the platform was adopted by the convention with long-continued cheering, the waving of flags, in which “Cyclone” Davis, of Texas, was prominent, and singing of “America,” “Blest Be the Tie That Binds,” and finally of the doxology. Rev. W. B. Palmere, a veteran of the Confederate army and a St. Louis publisher, took the stage and asked divine blessing. The roll call of States on nominations for President began at this juncture. W. W. Hague, a venerable delegate from the Keystone State, made Lae first speech. Silas C. Swallow’s nomination was made then and there. Mr. Hague told the delegates that Dr. Swallow was unable to be present because of the serious illness of bis wife. Men from lowa, Colorado, Illinois. Florida and other States made seconding orations. Kansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine and Maryland, States in which General Miles had considerable strength, announced the Pennsylvanian to be their choice. When Massachusetts was reached, Prof. Alfred H. Evans said he was to have nominated Miles, paid the warrior an eloquent tribute and seconded Dr. Swallow’s nomination. Samuel Dickie, of Michigan, made an impressive seconding speech. Homer L. Castle, of Wyoming, moved to make the vote unanimous, which was done with enthusiasm. Mr. Carroll, I. H. Amos of Oregon, A. U. Coats of lowa, and Col. Benjamin Parker of Wisconsin, were placed in nomination for Vice President, and all but Carroll quickly withdrew. At the morning session SII,OOO in cash and pledges was raised for t-he campaign fund. A mass meeting in Tomlinson Hall Thursday night closed the gathering. WEDNESDAY’S SESSION. Enthusiasm and earnestness characterized the opening of the Prohibition national convention, which was called to order in Tomlinson Hall, this city, at 10:15 o'clock Wednesday. More than 1,000 delegates vigorously applauded prohibition’s sentiments. The galleries were packed to their capacity. The hall was dec-orated profusely with flags and bunting, while over the chairman’s stand hung pictures of Abraham Lincoln and Frances Willard. Quotations from Lincoln's speeches also were prominent. Most of the delegates carried small flags, which they waved at slight provocation. At noon the convention took a recess until 2 o’clock. W. S. Doan, »n attorney of Indianapolis, delivered an address of welcome, in which he predicted that Indianapolis would soon have a prohibition Mayor. A part of the address was devoted to an attack on the Republican party for backsliding from its platform of 1860, which declared in fav^c of prohibition. Chairman Stewart Speaks. Oliver W. Stewart, the national chairman, replied to the address of welcome. He said the Prohibition party was the only party with a real issue and party identity. He said the members of the party were the most independent because they “thought into the ballot box.” He declared the purpose of the party to be the dissolution of the “partnership of the government and the liquor traffic.” “We are here to take the offices and administer the government,” be said. At the close of his remarks, Chairman Stewart was given an ovation as he introduced Homer L. Castle, a prominent lawyer of Pittsburg, as temporary chairman of the convention. Chairman Castle attacked both national parties on the issues of the day. He attacked the Republicans for tolerating polygamy in Utah, and said the Senate delayed action on the Smoot case for political purposes. He said neither great party was capable of dealing with problems like the liquor question. He attacked the policy of imperialism, and said one of the questions of the century was “How to let go of the Philippines with honor.” He referred to President Roosevelt as “the hero of bloodless San Juan,” and said he had forced a man to take the position of chairman of the national committee. He called the Democrats “hyenas,” who were digging in graveyards for I the bones of dead issues. He said the ; Democrats, taunted as to lack of is- ' sues, were dumb. He called the ad- . ministration of President Roosevelt an । absolute monarchy, bristling with militarism. He said the Prohibition party j was the only one which did not need to. I apologize for its existence.

j — Some idea of the many and diverse । Interests which the Supreme Court must consider may be formed from the business done on the last “opinion day” in May, before its adjournment until October, when it announced its decision in an exceptionally large number of Important disputes. Three : cases were decided, involving questions relating to the administration of criminal law in the Philippines. The constitutionality of the “oieo” law was next upheld. A dealer argued that oleomargarine which received its color from butter used as an ingredient should not be subject to the tax, and also that the rates uucer the present law were prohibitive and confiscatory. The court replied that the amount of the tax was a purely political function with which it coukl not t^al. A concern against which t “fraud order” had been issued by the Postoffice Department had sought reiress by bringing suit against the posinaster at Chicago in a *k§f^which inally reached the Supreme Court “ It was decided, was jus^fied in its action. A man in a subirb of Kansas City had been release^by the United States District Court (from payment for certain street improvements which were declared urnecesjary. The Supreme Court overruled this, deciding that the city authorities must be the sole judges of the necessity. Then there were cases involving homesteaders’ titles in lowa, licenses in Alaska, street railroad fares in Cleveland, State claims against a steam railroad In Indiana, and an electric-lighting franchise in Kentucky. In Its century of history the White House has seldom been the scene of a more interesting reception than that which was given in honor of the visiting Filipinos, who have been making b tour of the United States. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt entertained them at luncheon, after which the prominent people of the national government were invited In to meet them. With few exceptions, none of these visitors, and they are the leading men of the archipelago, had ever been in the United States before. Some of them had never before left the archipelago, for the Philippine Islanders are not great travelers. Most of the places to which they would naturally go are a long Way off, and so those who are not prepared for a formidable journey stay at home. Americans going to the Philippine Islands have been profoundly interested in the strange contrasts which the Asiatic tropics present. These visiting Filipinos were equally interested in conditions here. They found the American summer about like theiU climate all the year round. Our war* and substantial buildings toll to eir observing eyes of the frosty r' -oLjhe absence of earthqiJ!® _ The ran road system of the Uni^K-hates amazed them. The multitude at our cities was almost confusing. I It has been announced by the Agriculture Department that its search for an enemy- to destroy the cotton-boll weevil has been rewarded by the discovery in Guatemala of an ant which preys upon the insect In Alta Vera Paz cotton appeared to thrive in a country Infested with the weevils. Investigation showed that this was due to the ant, which gets its food from the nectaries of the cotton. This ant Is equipped with powerful mandibles, and when it finds a weevil beetle on a plant at once seizes and kills it. It is an inveterate hunter after the pests, and several ants usually take their stand for this purpose on each stala, so that a single colony protects a large field. It does not sting persons, as do many Guatemalan ants, and so far as known is harmless. An attempt will be made by the department to establish permanent colonies in Texas, where the weevil pest is worst, and for,this purpose many thousands of the ants Have been brought to this country. For the first eleven months of the current fiscal year, ending May 31, there was an excess of government expenditures over receipts of $52,265, 369. This deficit is accounted for by the payments made on account of the Panama Canal and the loan to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, amounting in all to $54,600,000. After allowance is made for these items, however, there is still evidence of a marked change .in the condition if the Treasury, for in tire corresponding months of was. a surplus of receipts • expenditures amounting to $38,9^,616. Receipts both from customs and internal revenue have been smaller this year than last, and there has |een an increase of expenditures on the navy and for pensions. Agricultural experiment stations in : several States have been trying to discover whether the flavor and color of eggs can be affected by the food given to the hens. Among the foods used were smoked herrings, oil of celery, oil of sassafras and onions. Nothing but the onions affected the taste of the eggs. White corn, however, produces eggs with light yolks, whereas yellow corn makes the yolks dark. The experimenters have decided that the color of the yolk depends on the coloring matter in the food, and baa nothing to do with the richness of the eggs. What has been called the “ginseng craze” has been so prevalent among farmers in many districts ot the United States that the Department of Agriculture has considered it expedient to sound a note of warning. Previous to 1902 China imported from this country only one hundred and seventy-two thousand pounds of ginseng in four j years—a quantity t^liich could ba i raised on a single farm of seventyfive acres “Let ginseng alone. It U a deluslotffand a snare.’’

The Radiun. Atom. Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge, the English physicist, contends that radium has not upset received scientific doctrines. . He says that those who thought it was an Inexhaustible store of energy, or was generating energy afresh which had not previously existed, were mis- , taken. The radium atom had In it a large store of energy, just as the sun had. If they could see radium atoms they would find them, as a rule, as quiet as any other atoms; only one in a million would be seen to be, as it were, smashing up. throwing off bits of itself, and the whole property ot radium depended upon that. Everything material was in a state of flux—there was birth, culmination and decay; and this was a characteristic of the material universe—a universe which must have had an origin. The birth of matter as well as the doath of matter was what they were now looking for. It Payu to Read Newspapers. Cox. Wis., July 4.—Frank M. Russell, of this place, had Kidney Disease so bad that be could not walk. He tried Doctors’ treatment and many different remedies, but was getting worse. He was very low. He read in a newspaper how Dodd’s Kidney Pills were curing cases of Kidney Trouble, Bright’s Disease, and Rheumatism, and thought he would try. them. He took two boxes, and now he is quite well. He says: “I can now. work all day, and not feel tired. Before using Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I couldn’t walk across the floor.” Mr. Russell’s is the most wonderful case ever known in Chippewa County. This new remedy—Dodd’s Kidney Pills—is making some miraculous cures in Wisconsin NOT AN INVITING FIELD. Traveler from Cape Colony Says Business. Is Dull There. “South Africa is at this time the i very reverse of an inviting field for men who are seeking their fortunes In strange lands,” said S. J. Van den Spuy of Cape Colony, in the Washington Post. "In Cap^ Colony times were never so dull. There is no money except what is locked up in the strong boxes of capitalists, and they are not putting out a dollar. In addition to the hard times brought on by the Boer war we have had two years of drought, the worst in our history. Crops have been a failure, and, but for the importation of food from Australia, and South America, our people would have starved. In the pastoral districts sheep and cattle have perished by the thousand. We have a fine agricultural country, but the want of rain has wellnigh been ruinous. “I know the conditions in the Transvaal quite as well as in my own country, and am sorry to say that they are also extremely bad. A great many of the mines in the Rand are not being worked, owing to the want of capital. The story has gone out that the mining business is slack because of the deficiency of labor, but this is only an excuse. There is the same labor in the country that has always been there. "Complaint is made of the Kaffirs, but the fault Is not theirs. In the first place, the managers of the mines promisC the Kaffirs wages at the rate of S2O a month, but after hiring them are only willing to pay $lO, or just half what they agreed to giv£. Besides, if a Kaffir workman commits the most trifling fault he is flogged severely. Under such circumstances it is not strange that these people should be dissatisfied. “Yet the English managers of the mines give it out to the world that they need labor, and raise a cry that if they could be allowed to import Chinamen the country would soon be as prosperous as of yore. This is merely a pretext to induce European capital to invest in the mines. What adds greatly to the difficulties of the Transvaal is the present inefficient government. It is so wasteful and extravagant as to be a scandal. Under the Boer regime there were forty-four state officials who drew salaries aggregating $320,000. Under the English sway there are 125 officials with a pay of $920,000. These Oguros show conclusively the difference between the Boer and British way of conducting the public business. In fact, the entire English regime since the end of the war has been a rank failure.” TWO STEPS The Last One Helps the First. A sick coffee drinker must take two steps to be rid of his troubles and get strong and well again. The first is to cut off coffee absolutely. That removes the destroying element The next step is to take liquid food (and that is Postum Food Coffee) that has in it the elements nature requires to change the blood corpuscles from pale pink or white to rich red, and good red blood builds good strong and healthy cells in place of the broken d’own cells destroyed by coffee. With well boiled Postum Food Coffee to shift to, both these steps are easy and pleas- • nt. The experience of a Georgian proven how important both are. "From 1872 to the year 1900 my wife I and I had both been afflicted with sick | or nervous headache and at times we suffered untold agony. We were coffee drinkers and did not know’ how to get away from it, for the habit is hard to quit. "But in 1900 I read of a case similar to ours w’here Postum Coffee was used in place of the old coffee and a complete cure resulted, so I concluded to get some and try it. “The result was, after three days’ use of Postum in place of the coffee 1 never had a symptom of the old trouble and in five months I had gained from 145 pounds to 163 pounds. “My friends asked me almost daily what wrought the change. My answer always is, leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place. “We have many friends who have been benefited by Postum. “As to’ whether or not I have stated the facts truthfully I refer you to the Bank of Carrollton or any business firm in that city where I have lived for many years and am well known.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. “There's a reason.” Look in each pkg. for the little book.

SOAP TREE OF ALGERIA. Steps Are Being Taken to Manufacture on a Large Scale. Consul-General Guenther, at Frank-fort-on-the-Main, Germany, sends in a breezy letter to the Department of ■ Commerce in which he tells about the I “soap tree" of Algeria, says the Wash- | ! ington correspondent of the New York 1 Herald. There are soap plants and soap trees. First, there is the soap- ; wort, which every Dut‘h and Belgian, ' Danish, German and Austrian housewife raises In her garden and uses as she would soap, the leaves yielding a profuse lather. Then there is the Leucocrinum montanum. a kind of Ely. which grows upon the slopes of the Rocky Mountains, and which the Digger Indians used to catch trout by filling the waters of the pool in which the fish live full of the soapy lather of this root, thus making the trout ill and causing them to rise to the surface. Then there is the Lechuguilla (Agave heteracantlia), a variety of century plant, the roots of which the Mexicans use for soap, and the amole (Chlorogalum pomeridianum), a sort of lily used by the Mexicans of lower California for soap. But. according to Consul Guenther, the soap tree differs from all these in the respect that it all but bears cakes of nice castile soap instead of fruit or berries. Heretofore all these plans, . from soap tree to soap berry, have been used simply by semi-civilized- folkin place of commercial soap, but now it appears the Algerian soap tree is to be turned to commerciaF purposes. Consul Guenther says: "German papers report that steps are being taken in .Algeria to manufacture natural soap on a large scale from a tree known as Sapindus utilis. This tree, which has long been known in Japan, China and India, bears a fruit of about the size of a horsechestnut, smooth and round. The color varies from a yellowish green to brown. The inner part is of a dark color and has an oily kernel. “The tree bears fruit in its sixth year and yields from fifty-five to 220 pounds of fruit, which can be easily harvested in the fall. By using water or alcohol the saponaceous irigredient of the fruit is extracted. The cost of production is said to be small, and the soap, on account of possessing no alkaline qualities, is superior to the ordinary soap of commerce.” Fifty Men and One Elephant. Interesting tests were made recently in the Madison Square Garden, New York, to determine the respective pulling power of horses, men and elephants. Two horses, weighing 1,600 pounds each, together pulled 3.700 pounds, or 550 pounds more than their combined weight. One elephant, weighing 12,000 pounds, pulled 8.750 pounds, or 3,250 pounds less than his weight Fifty men, aggregating about 7.500 pounds in weight, pulled 8,750 pounds, or just as much as the single elephant. But, like the horses, they pulled more than their own weight. One hundred men pulled 12,000 pounds. BIG DROP IN BINJtR TWINE.
