RELIGIOUS SECT INVADING NE
BRASKA'S NEIGHBOR STTE. .
STILL BELIEVE IN POLYGAMY
Though They Do Not Preach This
Plural Marriage Doctrine , Because
It Is Contrary to Law In the Land ,
Yet They It Where Necessary.
Mitchell , S. D. , Aug. 4. Mormonlsm
1ms commenced Its Invasion of South
Dakota as a field of work to propo
sal o Us fnlth among the people. A
few days ago three missionaries ,
Charles V. Perry , Arthur Richardson
nnd William .1. Salisbury , made their
appearance In Mitchell as the starting
ft A. point for a campaign throughout the
state. They have been delivering
tracts from door to door , and In the
ovcnlngs they have delivered address
es on the streets In expounding the
faith and doctrine of the church of
Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints.
From time to time the missionaries
arc visited by higher officers of the
church and assisted In the preaching.
These men seem to be Intensely In
earnest In all they undertake In their
religious work and are self sacrificing
to quite a largo degree , Inasmuch as
they are pushing Mormonlsm without
the least Idea of recompense and pay
their own expenses.
One of the recent arrivals Is Elder
H : A. Brewer of Marysvllle , Idnhq ,
and \if \ Vips not r.t ai- averse to t.un-
ing about the work that Is being done ,
and the creed and faUh of his church.
In answer to the question of the ob
ject of their visit here where Micro
was seemingly little ground for gainIng -
Ing a foothold Mr. Brewer said :
"Our church Is doing this kind of
work all over wherever we can get
men to do It. We have not come here
to organize a church society by gel-
ting people converted , socalled , by pre
vailing on them on the spur of the
moment when they are under excite
ment or perhaps subject to our will
more or less. Wo do not work In
that way. We believe that by person
ally expounding and explaining the
word of God and by distributing our
literature they will obtain the truth ,
and when they once become Impressed
with the truth they will flock to us
i leadlly. "
, In reply to the question as to
whether Mormonlsm was Increasing
In this country despite the unfavorable
legislation or was losing ground , Mr.
Brewer replied : "Our church is in
creasing dally In power and influence ,
and will continue ot Increase so rapid
ly that nothing can prevent our hopes
being realized , for our doctrines are
nothing but the truth , founded on
scripture , and truth must prevail. "
The elder stated that there was no
truth In tlie statement made that it
was the Intention of the church to
move Its headquarters from Salt Lake
City to some part of the country where
the laws are more favorable. He de
clared that Salt Lake City would al
ways be the headquarters of the
church , for it Is too firmly established
to ever thnk | of moving away.
Elder Brewer was asked If the mis
sionaries preached and taught the
doctrine of polygamy in their work
In this city and state. He replied :
"No , we do not , and for two reasons.
One is that the practice of polygamy
is contrary to law In this country , and
our church persists always In being
obedient to the laws of the land that
Is one of our articles of faith. Second ,
people ordinarily do not understand
the meaning of the Idea until they
learn to understand some of the other
principles and teachings of the church.
After that they can see the meaning
of it and the beautiful Idea of plural
marriage. Of course , It Is one of the
cardinal principles of our church , and
we defend it as such wherever and
whenever we find It necessary to do
so. If wo are asked any questions
about polygamy we explain its meanIng -
Ing , but We don't pueach ltonor prac
tice It in deference to law. "
The detachment of Mormon mis
sionaries who are now operating In
Mitchejl are working under the direc
tion of the old church organization ,
known as the'Church of Jesus Chrfst
of Latter Day Saints , the headquar
ters of which are at Salt Lake City ,
Utah. Among the literature they are
distributing Is the Book of Mormon
and several other publications , one of
which Is entitled , "What Mormons Be
lieve , " which gives a complete exposi
tion of the doctrines of Mormoriism ,
although It remains silent on the ques
tion of plural marriages.
According to the statement of the
missionaries , It Is the belief of Mor
mons' that the Institution of their
church is the work of God , promulgat
ed under his commands , and , there
fore , will ultimately overcome all
opposition and spread over the whole
cart } ) , and with that Idea In view mis
sionaries are being sent to all parts
of the country to spread their gospel.
It Is the intention to thoroughly cover
South Dakota If they can secure the
men for the work.
There Is another wing of the Merman -
man church with headquarters estab
lished at Independence , Mo. , which
differs somewhat In several Important
particulars , but mainly in the repudia
tion of polygamy. It Is called the Re
organized Church of Jesus Christ of
the Latter Day Saints.
The missionaries now hero expect
to work In this city and vicinity a
monti longer and then go to some
other locality.
NEBRASKA TREES SHIELD 'HILLS'
Will Protect Vegetation From the Hot
South Winds.
Hnpld City , S. D. , Aug.I. . A matter
that Is of great Interest to the people
> f the Hlack Hills Is the attempt being
nuitlo by the forestry department to
cover the sandhills of Nebraska with
pine forests.
The sandhill country la so close to
the Black Hills Hint Its welfare IH real-
y more Important to this state than
t Is to Nebraska. The fearful
Iroughts that devastated this country
In 1889-00 were made still more deadly
because of the south winds which blow
over the furnucellko sandhills and be
came so heated that when they struck
the vegetation of the Black Hills they
destroyed It with a breath.
It Is a quarter of a century since
a Nebraskan first made the discovery
that jackplne would grow In the sand
hills. The forestry department has
now taken the matter up and Is plani
ng on a largo scale.
The planters work In crows of throe ,
on eh crow planting about 3.000 trees
i day. Twenty-sovon hundred trees
ire put out to the aero and the expense
of planting an aero Is about $25\
COUNTY BOARD OF EQUALIZA
TION FINISHES WORK.
HORSES AND MULES INCREASED
Figures on These Animals are Changed
by the State Board of Equalization.
That Is the Only Change Made In
County Board's ' Figures.
[ From Saturday's Dally. ]
The last meeting of the board of
equalization of Madison county , at
which the levy on this county was
made , was hold yesterday at Madison.
The general levy was made and also
the school district assessments , a new
law placing this assessment In the
hands of the county commissioners.
The only change that the state board
of equalization made in the figures of
the county board were on horses and
mules. The state board Increased the
figures of the county board twenty
percent on mules and ten percent on
horses.
Following Is the assessment made
for Madison county :
General fund 41& mills
Bridge fund 3 % mills
Road fund 2 mills
Special levy for road districts
No. 9 and No. 21 2 mills
Norfolk school district 15 mills
Norfolk school bonds 7 mills
The figures sent in to the state
board were left unchanged in all re
spects excepting on horses and mules ,
and the increase on these is due to
the state board's order and not to the
county commissioners.
Formerly each school district made
a levy of its own , but now each board
sends In an estimate to the county
board , who make the levy.
Norfolk's former school levy has
been twenty mills , but this was low
ered because of funds on hanfl.

ELKHORN VALLEY ANIMALS SUCCUMB -
CUMB IN LARGE NUMBERS.
DR. M'KIM IS INVESTIGATING
rormcr Norfolk Veterinarian , Now
State cterlnarlan , Hns Been Assist
ing Prof. Peters In Getting at Causes
of Malarial Fever and Cure.
Elkhorn valley norses dlo In great
lumbers from malarial fever , accordIng -
Ing to Prof. A. T. Peters of the state
oxporlmonlnl farm. With Dr. C. A.
McKlin , state veterinarian , formerly
) f Norfolk , ho has Invostlgatod the
llBoaao. following are extracts from
its paper , written on the mibject :
This dlHoaso is also called "swamp
fever" by farmers , and "pornlcloiiB
uiaomia" by veterinarians. In Ne
braska many of the farmers call the
disease "typhoid fever , " for It resem
bles this fever very much. The mini
nor.In which the disease Is contracted
by horses Is not definitely understood
In the last few yearn , the veterinari
ans In the Philippines have discovered
a dlsoaso , prevalent In India" under
the name of "surra , " the description
of which corresponds very much to
°
that of mala rinl fever of horses in this
country , with the exception thiU * Imp-
torlologlsts have itot boon able to find
the surra , parasite in the blood of nf-
fectod animals in this country. AK
the parasite of surra Is very easily de
tected in the -blood of affected ani
mals , and as wo have not been able to
discover It , the conclusion seems rea
sonable that the diseases are not Iden
tical. It Is difficult to ascertain how
the disease first made Its appearance
In Nebraska. Wo find It. on the marshy
pastures during very wet seasons. It
is the general opinion of those who
have studied the disease that It Is
caused by feeding on certain low ,
marshy pastures and on hay that
comes from such pastures. Whatever
Its origin , the disease lias spread on
these pastures during the last few
years. Horses die from tills disease
on the Missouri river bottom and In
the Elkhorn valley and farther up In
the western part of the state. In
these districts the loss is very great ,
especially in wet seasons , such as we
have had In the last few years. To
the stockman the loss is very heavy ,
for when It once makes its appear
ance on a ranch , it Is very apt to re
cur , and carry off every horse. Many
ranchmen in those districts lost nil
of their horses and were seriously
crippled in finishing up their season's
work , many farmers losing from two
to eight head of horses. This is the
most serious disease aning horses that
this state lias been called upon to in
vestigate.
Last .Inly the writer , together with
the state veterinarian , Dr. C. A. Me-
Kim , visited a number of ranches , and
also held post mortem examinations
on diseased animals. We found that
the animals wore all greatly emaciat
ed and the mucous membranes very
pale ; and in all cases we found the
characteristic blood spots on the mu
cous membrane of the eye. These
blood spots were more pronounced in
some cases than in others , due to the
severity of the attack. Some blood
counts were made from the diseased
animals. The red corpuscles ran as
low as 1.800,000 to 2,200,000 , while the
normal for a healthy animal Is about
7,500.000 red corpuscles , which ex
plains why the affected animals ema
ciate and become palo so very rapidly.
The post mortem examination also
showed a largo number of worms
known as the tetracanthum. This
worm was found more abundant in
horses that showed slight symptoms
or were In the early stages of the dis
ease , and was not found so abundant
in the chronic cases. It was always
found In the colon and the Intestines.
In none of the specimens that wore
examined were we able to find this
worm in the circulation. It is of im
portance to note that , as stated , in ad
vanced , long-standing chronic cases ,
when a post mortem Is held , few if
any of those parasites are found. This
may possibly be explained by the se
vere emaciation that the animal has
undergone , the blood being in such
poor condition that possibly it had no
nutritive value , thus causing the par
asites to leave their hosts. In one
post mortem examination where , ac
cording to the owner's statement , th
horse had been affected twenty-one
days , we couWnot find any of those
wiring. The organs In thc ° al > doinlnnl
cavity wore practically normal except
the kidneys , which were very much
enlarged , and showed njalnly chronic
lesions of nciHirltla ( Inflammation of
the kidneys. )
Th < ? treatment of this disease has
not been very satisfactory , which is
largely due to the fact that wo have
not definite knowledge as to the true
cause of the disease. The treatment
consisted In using gasoline , creolln
and creosote to cleanse out the stomach
ach of the intestinal parasites. In ad
dition to this fever remedies 'were
used , such as quinine , mix vomica ,
digitalis and the like , followed up
with n general tonic , such ns Fowler's
solution , but with no universal suc
cess.
cess.At
At this time the station is giving
attention to the method by which
those animals hcgonto Infected. Pos
sibly It may bo In the same way that
sheep and cattle become Infected with
the small parasite known ns the stem
nch worm. Embryos of worms have-
been found on blades of grass and are
taken up by stock when grazing. As
son as the definite cause of infection
has been learned , then possibly a cure
may bo forthcoming.

LAW TAKES EFFECT WITH COM
ING OF NEW YEAR.
NORFOLK MIGHT USE A PLANT
A Few Facts of Interest at Thla Time
to the People of This City , Because
of the Possibility of Developing a
New Industry.
Washington , ' Aug. 0. There are a
whole lot of mlHappiohoiiHlons about
lonaturod alcohol. In fact , there are
nany things about It that are not tin-
lorslood In thin country , and the HC- !
ontlstH of the department of agricul
ture and the olllelals of ( lie Internal
evenue are all collecting Information
mil statlstlca that will lie of IIHO when
he new law goon Into effect on .Innu-
iry 1 , 1907. 11 may bo well , however ,
to point out a few things that are not
so well known about Jho now com
modity , mid that will clear ( ho air of
nlsiiiiderutandlng about HOIIIO others.
In the first place denatured alcohol IB
no different from any oilier Hurt of al
cohol , except that It has certain thlngH
mixed with it rendering It Imimsslblo
to drink. There IB a revenue tax on
ordinary alcohol of $1.10 n gallon , that
makes It too expensive to use for any
thing , almost , except a drink , which
i man will squander any amount of
money on when ho cannot got money
for anything else. Tills raises much
money for the country , keeps up the
lirlco of wine and whlnky to a point
wlioro the average cltl/on cannot af
ford to get drunk , and otherwise limits
the use of alcohol to the profit of the
whisky trust and the satisfaction of
the W. C. T. II.
But there are many ways In which
alcohol can ho used that do not tend
to drunkenness. It can ho used as a
fuel , an Illumlnant , to run automobllou ,
and power launches and for various
uses In ( ho arts , for making vnrnlBh
and a lot of other things whore its
present price under the revenue tax
makes its use almost or qulto prohib
itive. Now comes the "free alcohol
bill. " This IB merely a measure that
will allow alcohol for use In the arts
to Ito made without paying ( ho revenue
tax If It Is first rendered totally unfit
to drink.
Have Some Wrong Impressions.
Tills 1)111 passed the recent session
of congress , and on the strength of it
there were columns of "pipe dreams"
written about free alcohol. It was goIng -
Ing to bo so cheap that anybody could
own an automobile , and the horse was
going out of biiBlness quicker than ho
would have have gone bad Edison per
fected his battery that would run in
definitely for nothing. Free alcohol
was also going to put the kibosh on
the Standard Oil company and give
the people fuel and light for next to
nothing , If It did not actually pay thorn
for using It.
It IB a fact that alcohol can bo made
out of almost anything In the vege
table line , and therefore It was going
to open up a way for the farmer to UHO
everything on Ills farm that ho could
not eat or soli. Every farm would
manufacture its own boat , light and
power , nnd what It did not use It
would sell to the city In the winter ,
and thus levy a tax on the urbnnlte ,
even when ho was not paying summer
hoard for the privilege of being eaten
up by mosqultos.
But it Is needless to enumerate.
Free alcohol will do a number of good
things , but It will not usher In the
nillonnlum. It Is not going to bo n
backyard Industry. Any man who can
get a tin can and a length of rubber
hose is not going to bo allowed to enter -
tor on the manufacture of alcohol.
The law provides for that , and the In
ternal revenue office is going ahead
to fix the matter on a business basis.
Regulations arc now being framed un
der which the free alcohol law v 111
bo administered , and Commissioner
Yorkcs , with Congressman E. J. Hill ,
Is now In Europe studying the meth
ods of denaturlzlng and the way the
law is administered on the continent.
Of course , some envious people will
say that the commissioner of Inter
nal revenue is merely on a summer
pleasure trip , and that ho could have
obtained all the information he want
ed from the consuls at the expense of
a stamped envelope. But that Is an
other question. The government al
ways has good and faithful servants ,
who are willing to brave the perils of
an ocean passage In midsummer for
the country's good and nt the coun
try's expense. So the commissioner
has gone abroad to collect information
at first hand.
Making Tests With Product.
Then the department of agriculture
has started on n bulletin which will be
ready for distribution the first of the
year , telling all about denatured alco
hol and its uses. Dr. Wiley , the chem
ist , Is at work on this. The depart
ment has also hired Prof. Charles
Lucko of Columbia university , this
city , who will make n lot of experi
ments with Internal combustion en
gines to see what alcohol Is good for
as fuel. It has been used as fuel
abroad In automobiles and boats for
some time. But Professor Lucko Is
also going to got his data first hand.
When these official announcements
are all ready there will bo no excuse
for anybody not knowing all about de
natured alcohol. Meantime It will bo
well to advise the people ns a whole
that every farm Is not going to bo
turned Into a distillery to use up Its
surplus vegetable products. The law
which the Internal revenue ofllcors are
preparing to formulate will not allow
the making of alcohol in distilleries
having a capacity of less than 500 gal-
lena dally. ThlH IB bucauRo there will
have to bo a guagor and a otorekcupur
kept constantly on duty , and 0110 at
i salary of about $5 a day , and one at
ibout $2 , Jtuit nit In any oilier ( Until-
ory. If Iho distillery mnlteu only do-
nalurod alcohol It will not have to pay
my revenue to the government , but
the chancoB are that If It turim out na
niii'h as not ) gallons a day a part of
It will bo withdrawn for making liquor ,
ind thlH will pay the tax and pay the
wagon of ( ho officials who superintend
t. This Is rnthor html on the farmer
wlio would 11 ho to ( urn his mirpliiB of
ipploB and turnips , beotH and potatooM
Into alcohol and either use. or Hell the
product. ThlH would bring down the
lll'lco of alcohol Honm. Itm n mill , , i\t
bo allowed.
An to the cost at which alcohol can
bo miinufuclureil , II IH a question that
may never bo answered to the Hallo-
faction of the public ; . \Vlion the hear
ings were bold before ( he committee
on wayH and moans recently the ox-
liertH put the cost nil the way from I )
to 27 cents n gallon. The prices will
vary. The , New Orleans people who
buy black Cuban molnsseB and make
alcohol from It get a jjiillon of alcohol
out of two gallons of molasses. It IB
said that they can mlike It as cheap
IIH ten cents a gallon. The people
wlio make grain alcohol , which IB what
whisky Is made from , e.annol probably
make It for less than 10 centH. Then
again alcohol making Is more or IOHB
ol'a trade secret. Most illstlllorloH
have their own private methods , aiul
it IB said ( hat grain alcohol can bo
made cheaper In Chicago than almost
anywhere else , because of bettor meth
ods ami the cheapness of grain In that
center.
The Cost of Production ,
It seems , averaging Urn estimates of
cost , that alcohol can bo made at about
20 cents n gallon , or perhaps a llttlo
less , and the denaturing will add incest
cost , of materials and labor porlmpB 5
cents a gallon more. The denaturing
simply meaiiH the mixing of varlona
undrlnkiiblo oils and other evil-tasting
and smelling stuff with the alcohol ,
and there are severe penalties against
distilling out the alcohol and rendering
it drinkable again , Just as tlioro are
against making moonshine whisky in
the first place.
About tin- heat and power contained
In alcohol there Is a good deal of un
certainty , it Is a llttlo hotter burning
fuel than gasolene , perhaps IIH much
as 10 per cent. But It IB thought that
for UNO in Internal combustion o'lglnos ,
niich as are used In automobiles , It Is
of only n llltlo higher value than gas
oline , possibly 5 per cont. Makers elf
alcohol earn on the continent , how
ever , claim that It makes a much more
clastic running fuel and Dial It can bo
used more effectively under different
throttle and spark conditions than can
gasoline. It Is adapted to almost any
Internal combustion engine now using
gasoline , with a llttlo different valve
and carbureter.
It Is possible that the Introduction
of free alcohol will Increase the num
ber of distilleries and will enable the
farmers to got rid of a good lual of
their superfluous vegetable stock.
But It will by no moans open up a
way for every farmer to use this stock
himself. It also will cheapen alcohol
considerably for cooking and lighting
purposes , nnd will make It more avail
able for use in silk manufacture , In
dyeing , paint and varnish making and
a boat of other ways , but It docs not
promise to put the Standard Oil com
pany on the pike nor to send Coal OH
John to the almsbouso.
