Helena, Mont., Oct. 24.—Z. T. Burton, president of the Burton Land com- pany and one of the prominent stock- men of ‘Teton county, who arrived here last night from the blizzard- swept district, says that the bodies of eight sheep herders have already been found iy this county, and fifteen other herders who are missing have been given up as lost. He says the loss of life will exceed twenty persons in Teton county alone. As near as can now be estimated 20,000 sheep per- ished in the storm in Teton county and about 10,000 in Choteau county. For four or five days last week snow came down almost unceasingly. At the town of Choteau, county seat of Teton county, it was from ten to twelve feet deep in drifts and at least three feet on the level. The wind blew great guns nearly all of the time, but fortunately there was not a great fall in temperature. If there had been a clean sweep would have been made of the live stock of a vast section of the country. Numerous bands of sheep were completely snowed under and the cattle ranges are drifted badly. ‘Though the storm ceased a week ago detailed reports cf losses are not at hand, for the stockmen have not been able to visit all their camps. No alarm is felt because of the condition of the eattle, as they will pull through with- out much loss. The sheep cannot stand severe weather, and are very apt to pile up and smother. Stock and herders may have wandered into some of the coulies in the mountains, where the snow is tree-top deep, and, if they have, spring will reveal their bodies. A chinook has been blowing for a few days, which will prevent any deaths from freezing. Old timers in the sec- tion are agreed that nothing like the fall of snow has been seen in twenty years. country in Northern Montana. SWEDISH ACADEMY.

Oct. 24.—A tele- gram from a reliable source at Pine Ridge agency states that the Sioux at that agency are deeply grieved over the pr e loss of the funds here- tofore received by them from the sale of, hides, but entertain strong hopes that the action of the Indian commis- sioner in ordering the discontinuance of the distribution of the hides among the Indians will, upon a statement of the facts in the ma atten, be revoked, No Outbreak of Indians. Deadwood, 8S. D., Oct. 24.—Judge J. H. Burns, who acts as counsel for the Pine Ridge Indians, has returned from a visit to the agency. He says there is no reason to expect an outbreak among the Indians on account of the hide matter. The Indians resent the action of the government in depriving them of the hides of the cattle, but the agent at Pine Ridge said he feared no trouble. Invest in Acres. Langdon, Minn., Oct. 24. — Jacobsen Bros. of this place have purchased 160 acres of new land at Hereford, Grant county, of the Minnesota Land company.

Oct. 21.—A great many farmers in this section are very much ‘alarmed oer the action of the Northern Pacifie Railroad com- pany, the legal department of that road having instituted suits to secure possession ef certain lands, patents for which were issued to the settlers by the general government some years ago. The company elaims that itnever received the amount of indemnity land to whieh it was entitled, and that the land offices were in error in issuing patents to the settlers. Fifteen cases were filed in the distriet court in this city yesterday, and it is feared that the company could take possession of an almost unlimited amount of land in case its claims should be sustained, Cases somewhat similar to those just filed haye been brought before the tribunals of the land department on a number of oceasions in the past, but the decisions of the secretary of the interior have been adverse to the com- pany. It would now seem that the fight is to be carried from the execu- tive to the judicial department of the government, and the outcome is prob- lematical. A meeting of those inter- ested has been called for Oct. 28, to see what action can be taken in the matter. The lands involved, are some of the best in the county, and an ad- verse decision would mean the loss of many fine homes. BIG TIMBER DEAL. Minnesota Men Getting Hold of Val- unable Tracts on Puget Sound. Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 21.—Minnesota lumbermen are seeking to control the immense timber resources of Wash- ington. A number of large transfers have been made to lumbermen of Min- neapolis and Wisconsin. The last deal closed is one whereby J. R. Lunt- zelman, L. E. Torrinus and David Carmichael of Stillwater, Minn., be- come owners of several latge tracts of cedar, fir and spruce in Skagit county. An association of these men in this state says they have been quietly get- ting hold of the most valuable timber along the Seattle & Northern railroad, between Anacortes and Hamilton. These men named are prominent Min- nesota lumbermen and said to head a syndicate veich will invest $100,000 in Washingtor( ands. It is learned fur- ther that negotiations are in progress for the sale of all the Northern Pa- cific railway’s timber land in Western Washington to the Weyerhaeuser syn- dicate of St. Paul. This will be the largest timber land deal ever closed in Washington. This deal involves sev- eral miliion dollars, and there is little Coubt it will soon be consummated. GENERAL OF THE ARMY. Miles and a Party to Be Guests of “Buffalo Bill.’ Billings, Mont., Oct. 21—Gen. Nel- son A. Miles, commanding general of the army of the United States, will reach Billings about Oct. 25, on his way to Cody, Wyo., accompanied by Col. W. F. Cody, whose guest he will be in a grand hunt along the south fork of the Shoshone river in Wyo- ming, for about two weeks. In addi- tion there will be several distinguished and titled foreigners, as well as .sev- eral members of Gen. Miles’ staff in the party. The party expects to reach Red Ledge on Oct. 26, when the cere- mony of inaugurating the opening of the Red Lodge and Big Horn Rasin Telephone system will be carried out. Col. Cody will send the first message over the line. Arrangements are be- ing made to tender the distinguished party. aureception at the beautiful home of the Billings club on its arrival in this city. ANOTHER CLARK RUMOR. Said That Montana’s Senator Has Purchased a $250,000 Ranch. Billings, Mont., Oct. 21—A rumor is current that United States Senator W. A. Clark of Butte has purchased the entire holdings of the Sage Creek Sheep company in Fergus county. The property is owned by L. H. Hamilton of Great Falls and Rey. Jacob Mills, formerly pastor of the Billings M. E. church, but now presiding elder of the Helena district. Their price was un- derstood to be $250,000. Mr. Clark is said to have bought it for one of his managers, John A. Woodson, formerly of Meagher county, who has heen down in Mexico, where he had charge of Clark’s coffee plantation. BABCOCK’S MESSAGE. Indicates That | He Shot His Wife First. Redweod Falls, Minn., Oct. 21.—A correct reading of the badly written note left by Frank E. Babcock. who murdered his wife and three sons and then took his own life, fs : “I went out to shoot a rooster and ‘A’ (his wife) put her head through the door and got shot. I can’t stand it. —“F. E. Babcock.” This would indicate that he acci- dentally killed his wife first, and be- ing more or less demented previously, this shock preyed so upon his mind that he murdered his three sons and ther killed himself.

Reform Press Bureau. Sr. PauL, Oct. 23, 1899. Did our liberty bell ring in vain? Was our Declaration a lie? + Must we turn to the old world again With the penitent prodigal’s cry? Must we arm us and march in the van Of Europe’s barbaric parade And boom out a gunpowder gospel to man To open a pathway for trade? Shall we strut through the world and bluster and brag, With the dollar mark stamped on the brave old flag? Again is to be recorded, by personal knowledge, more flagrant exercise of the monopoly of news, in the censorship of political information by the Asso- ciated Press, the case of the anti-im- perialist conference at Chicago, held several days during the past week. The Associated Press gave neither the facts, as to represéntation, nor the spirit or the plans of the conference. But for the fact that General Carl Schurz’ ad- dress was sent out in advance to the Northwest, enabling the fair minded papers to print portions of the same, there has been but the merest skeleton given the people, of what was the most important, most patriotic, most far- reaching gathering, as many believe, in the present generation. There is space for but the merest condensation, but every Reform Press reader will in time have opportunity for learning the whole proceedings, as they will be pub- lished in pamphlet form. Every state in the Union was repre- sented by letters or personal delegates, the latter coming from 30 states. More of them weye life-long Rep ublicans ifian of any other politica? faith. any were gold Democrats who had stumped for McKinley. An instance of change is Captain Patrick O’Farrell of Wash- ington, who stumped five states for Mc- Kinley, and was the author of the fa- mous Silver Catechism of which Hanna circulated 2,000,000 copies in the close districts. He declared he would now go 16 to 1, high tariff or low tariff or for ‘‘a yellow dog” in preference to Mc- Kinley. Veteran fathers of the Repub- Yican party from all parts of the coun- try were in evidence. At the opening session over 100 conferees were present, reinforced until a larger hall (Central Music hall) was required, and it was filled to its capacity at the open sessions, in spite of the careful suppression of announcements by the administration-controlled newspapers. Extremes on other issues are sunk for the moment, as shown in the fact that Cleveland’s former Secretary of agricul- ture, Mr. Morton, presided over one of the open meetings, and our Towne over the other. It was, im a word, a meeting of the Phillips, Garrisons and Wades of anti-slavery times, represented by the Townes, Schurzs, Atkinsons, Cock- rans, Welchs, Bigelows and the rest, who are at the front to arouse the American conscience against the de- struction of American liberty by Amer- ican conquest. When organization is completed the term “Americanism” or ‘American policy” may supplant the term ‘*Anti- Imperialism.” Ex-Congressman Towne was able to reach the meeting from his lowa en- gagements, and was at once chosen to preside over the great meeting ad- dressed by Bourke Cockran. “Minnesota wus well represented other- wise. A feature of one of the sessions was the reading of that portion of Governor Lind’s address to the Thir- teenth, in which he referred to the passing of the volunteer, in the passing of the country to the policy of conquest and aggression. The sentence that ‘‘for purposes of conquest, he (the Volunteer) is unfit, for he carries a conscience as well as a gun,” was the subject of sev- eral addresses, and brought out from the official records, that more than 3,000 of our volunteers at Manila ex- pressed desire to be withdrawn from shooting down the liberty-seeking Fili- pinos! Acomplete plan .was arranged, and one for organization will be completed by the authorized committee. The former is to have the whole American nation rise by petition to congress in substance as follows: That congress direct the president to nd hostilities, by informing the Filipicos that our purpose is to give them self- Sigh ede and independ- ence, and that meanwhile, as they go on organizing their government, we will protect them by our flag and assist the authorities established to maintain peace, and will say to the world, ‘Hands off,” now and hereafter. This is substantially the recommen- dation of Mr. Bryan from the first. These petitions will be circulated for signers by the organization effected in the different states. The committee for Minnesota will be as follows, under the Chicago appointment: At Large—Governor John Lind, St. Paul. First Congressional District—Hon. Milo White, Chatfield. Second District—Hon. F. M. Curry, lankato. Third District—Hon. O. M. Hall, Red Wing. Fourth District—Hon. G. Wilrich, J. M. poral: St. Paul. Fifth District—Hon. S. M. Owen, ages S. W. Sample, Louis R. Larson,. Rev. A. 7 Simmons, Ralph Whelan,. Minneap- olis. Sixth District—Hon. Charles A. Towne, Duluth; ron. J. H. Sheets, Long-Prairie. Seventh District—Hon. R. M. Probst- | fleld, Moorehead; H. M. Wheelock, Fer- gus Fal's. The*following is the substance of the declaration of principles: Imperialism is hostile to liberty, and subjugation is ‘criminal aggression” and open disloyalty to American.princimles.. ‘The McKinley policy would extinguish | the spirit of 1776, and the slaughter of Filipinos under that policy isa needless horror, and we protest against-extension | of American sovereignty by the Spanish | method. ‘The president shall promptly assemble congress for the cessation of war and an- nouncement of our purpose to give the Filipinos independence. A _ self-govern- ing state cannot accept sovereignty over an unwilling people. ‘The real firing lino is not about Manily, but the foe is of our own household. The treason of 1861 was to divide the country, that of 1899 is to destroy its fundamental principles and its noblest ideals: ‘Whenever this war shall be ended the contest must still continue until the Declaration of Independence and the Con- stitution of the United States are rescued from the hands of their betriyers. Issues of currency reform, tariff, even our debauched civil service, and the truth-suppressing censorship, while of great importance, must even wait while representative government and Liberty itself is imperiled. The solemn pledge te defeat any person or party that stands for the forcible sub- jugation of any people, whether candi- date for the White House or for congress, men who would betray American liberty for un-American ends, “We hold,” with Abraham Lincoln, “that no man is good enough to govern another man without that other's con- sent When the white man governs him- self that-is self-government, but when he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more than self- -government, that is despotism. Our reliance isin the love of liberty which God has planted in us; our defense is in the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men in alllands. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and under a just God cannot retain it long.” Finally: ‘Co-operation is invited of all men and women of the land loyal to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.”’ McKinley’s abuse of the welcome of returning soldiers, as a stumping op- portunity, was deeply resented in vari- ous parts of the Northwest, notably South Dakota. In Minnesota, only re- spect forthe presidential office saved politician McKinley from open rebuke. It has leaked out that there was a re- deeming feature at Minneapolis in lift- ing the veil from the hypocrisy and cant which thinly veiled the hypocrit- ical purpose of the sacredshow. It was at the Lowry dinner, where a very se- lect few crossed legs under the mahog- ony, following the exposition hippo- drome. The statement is from a gentleman who sat within hearing of Secretary Wilson. The bap- quet, as the Exposition show, Was preceded by a grace by Bishop Joyce, and the reverend gentleman evidently felt that the occasion and the company especially needed the Divine Mercy, and so prolonged his devout utterances far beyond the patience of the undevout and hungry secretary, who finally gave in an undertone an expression of his impaticnce as follows: ‘Why does the fool keep it up so long? He is putting that stuff up for the newspapérs.” The secretary was unduly impatient. He knew very well that the whole show, prayer and all, was put up for the newspapers, to fool the voters withal. On'the return to Chicago, Wednes- day, the president was at Evanston, w here i is located the great Methodist institution, where he brought great cheers from the crowd by referring to himself as.an alumnus of the North- western university. On his departure the records were searched, and 1t was found to be no such thing; that he had neither attended nor received any de- gree, so far as could be ascertained, and the officials issued statements, that the president was in error. Whisky lost Andy Johnson his head when swinging round the circle. Vain political ambi- tion answered the same purpose in Mc- Kinley’s case. Bryan has made tremendous cam paigns in Kentucky and Ohio. Towne is making the same kind of a campaign in Iowa and Nebraska. Look out for earthquakes. And, speaking of Towne, the call is from one end of the Sixth to the other, that he make the race next year. And Query: Who isthe congressman in the Sixth, anyhow? Is it Judge Boobar or John Morris? Here’s a Page worth examining. Eh, Bede? Mark Hanna is openly defending the trusts in Ohio. Verily, ‘‘The Ox Know- eth His Owner, and the Ass His Mas- ter’s Crib.” Rampant is the “Dollar mark, and the injunction of the Prince of Peace reads, “Go Shoot the gospel Into All Living Creature$.” A Twin City paper reports one of the local churches pledged to the conversion of $2,000,000 souls. Note that not a song or poem has been produced from McKinley’s Philip- pine war. ‘False is the war that no poet sings,” truly says the bard.* The trust organizers are on the spit of the industrial commission, but the people are being spitted by the trust- power and monopoly. The Minneapolis lying about big wages in the woods, has “brought oat the official statement in the lumber- men’s organ there, that the reports are not true. ‘Lumber Jacks” this winter will receive but slightly increased wages, not within a mile of the wages of the good old bimetallic times, while all that they buy costs a big ps per cert more. ~GSc , A Woman's Answer. |} “Evelyn, would you rather be right ;or be popular?’ “I would rather be good: looking and pewter Record.
