THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY. OCTOBET? 4, IMA. RCSH FOR REGISTRATION Hunt for Land in Cheyenne and Standing Rock Beienratiom On. DOORS 0PE3 AT MIDNIGHT Notaries) at Abrrdrn Are Working la Elikt-Hmr Shift to Take Tar mt Rash of Homf- PIERRE, B. V., Oct. S. (Special Tele cmm.) At a late hour tonight special trains havs added to the registration crowd which Is waiting for an nppor-! tunlty to get even a lottery change at se- . curing a parcel of Uncle Barn's faat dla- , appearing acre and the streets are lively with the thronga, many of whom come to register and others to look on and gather the dimes from the visitor. The Indications at present are that when the registration booths open at midnight they will have a good patronage for the first hour at least, and may have another rush when trains arrive later In the night. The street crowd Is a mixed one of lanksaekers who come from nearly every state of the union, pleasure seekers, who care not for the land, but to see the car nival eights. Soldiers In uniform, who are here to take a part In the Custer battle reproduction, and others who will do spe cial police duty. The sound of reveille la now calling them to their tented camp In the city park, while a few blocks from them many of the crowd is attracted by the boom of the drum which la furnishing music for the Indian dancers who are celebrating their visit to the city to take part In the carnival celebration. Crowd la Lining; I'p. The notaries who are slated for the graveyard shift, beginning at midnight, are getting their supplies In shupe to handle all who come, and a few of the anxious ones are already gathering at the doors of the registration rooms, al though it la more than an hour to mid night. Many residents of the city, who have no registration rights, are out to watch the crowds, and see the opening of the event which means a great to deal to Pierre, not only from the financial gain which the direct operation of the opening may mean, but In the advertising which it will give not only to the city but to the whole of the central part of the state. The Northwestern road expects to, be gin handling special trains by morning to bring out the landseekers who left Chicago and other eastern points to be In at the beginning of the registration. The number who will register at this point la aa yet much of a guess propo sition, but all Indications now appear to be that the number will be greater than was first estimated, as letters and re ports of the last two days with the an nounced intention of parties coming show a largely Increased Interest as the hour for the registration approaches. The peo ple of the city have been for the last week I preparing to- handle all who come, and ran Care for several thousuancT each duy without any great inconvenience, as many private parties have arranged to aupply the needs of those who cannot be ac commodated at the hotels. Several film houses have representatives on the ground, and they have been securing pre liminary pictures today, to work In with their moving picture representations of the scenes of the registration and the Custer fight. ' All Heady at Aberdeen. ABERDEEN, 8. D.. ,Oot. i.-(Speclal.) All Is In readlhess for the commencement of the registration for the Cheyenne River ' and Standing Rock Indian reservations.

Under Judge Wltten's ruling here the registration booth, will be open twenty-four hours a day, Sun days excepted, from midnight tonight until the registration closes at midnight, Satur day, October 13. The usual Habbath quiet of Aberdeen was conspicuous by its absence today. As early as Saturday 'the crowds be gan to come in, every Incoming train being well loaded. Today the trains were crowded. Beginning tomorrow , morning every line entering the elty, except the Great North ern, will put on extra trains to handle the reservation crowds! The Great Northern is waiting. It has made all preparations fur caring for any crowd that may appear, and extra trains will be put on as soon as the necessity for them becomes apparent. The notaries, eighty strong, are divided Into three shifts of eight hours each. These shifts will Vie changed at the end of each week, so each notary, some time during the registration, will have served through the twenty-four hours. Two of the notaries, Mra. Bella B. Fisher and Miss Edith Wltxel, are women. A number of the younger resi dents of the town, who Intend to register, are determined to make their applications before Mrs. -Fisher and Miss Witsel, be lieving this will bring them good luck. There Is much good natured rivalry, too, over the privilege of being the flrst to register. . . Crowds from Nearby Polats. While there Is a large crowd In Aberdeen most of them are from comparatively near by points, from the Dakotas, Minnesota. g Ktako Good 3 Cooking Better You miy be a splendid Cook and vet ence lailurei especially with food in which spice are used.

SPEECHES OUTLINE MESSAGE Kiecatlve la Stoning Himself to Be Brave aad Fearless Champion of Rights . of ihe People. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. D. C. Oct. S -(Special. )- President Taft In his speeches throughout the country Is outlining the contents of his message in .ft manner that is giving the officeholders alternating spinal currents. The president's speech at Winona, Minn., in which he favored regularity In the party and congratulated Representative Tawney on the stand he took on the tariff sent shivers down the backs of the people who hold office hereabouts. And they lis tened to the reverberations with fear and trembling for was it not a criticism of the Insurgent cause. Now comes the president's speech at Seat tle In favor of a subsidy for the merchant marine and alread you can notice the of ficeholders with their ears to the ground listening for the tumult which may result from this position of the president. Among the higher officials and among thinking men generally the president is be ing praised today for a bold and outspoken staid in favor of the Roosevelt policies, for', Theodore Roosevelt was for a mer chant marine, for postal savings banks and for reforms in the currency. Now comes President Taft upholding these policies, not only favoring a subsidy for the merchant marine, but urging postal savings banks and a central bank which cannot help bat be vital topics for discussion In the coming session of congress. One thing ls certain President Taft Is showing himself to be a brave and fearless champion of the people's rights and If the officeholders will get over their tremors everything, It Is believed, will be well. Visit to Reclamation Projeeta. F. H. Newell, director of the reclamation service, has returned to his desk after month's trip with the senate committee on Irrigation. Mr. Newell does not seem at all disturbed because of his wordy warfare with Secretary of the Interior Balllnger, and when Questioned for a statement of his view of the outcome of the controversy, merely smiled and said that he had nothing to say whatever on that phase of the con duct of his office. Mr. Newell said the senate committee under his guidance visited the reclamation projects in Montana, Ore gon, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming, South Dakota and Nebraska, spending some thirty days In visiting these various works. An adjournment of the committee has been taken until November I, when the trip will be resumed, visiting the remaining projects In Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona and New Mexico. The results of the Inspection so far have been very ad vantageous to the work, as the senators have become personally acquainted more than ever with opportunities and difficulties and apparently appreciate more than ever the nature of the work and the organiza tion which Is carrying It forward. There was a general discussion of the desirability of expediting construction which is now being earned on with an expenditure of about JH.OOO.OOtl per annum, this being the present Income of the reclamation fund The projects which have been undertaken have been planned with a view to expend ing economically about this sum, although a larger amount could be readily used to hasten results. Bond Issue Practicable. "It Is very gratifying to note," said Di rector Newell "that President Taft Is appreciating this matter and has announced himself in favor of a bond issue of i0, OW.OOa This will enable us to prosecute work, which would otherwise wait two years or more, to be accomplished In one year. The plans can readily be adjusted and the organization Is able to carry for ward the projects speedily. The senate committee discussed this matter Informally and Individually expressed the opinion that it would be practicable and desirable to Issue bonds to the amount of $10,000 00) per annum for a time, securing these not by the general credit of the government but by the reclamation fund, the Investment of which already amounts to over ITiO.000,000. Western bankers express the belief that bonds bearing a low rate of Interest and secured by the reclamation fund could read Uy be floated at par. As a business propo sltlon It is unquestionably sound. Every dollar Invested In Irrigation work returns ultimately a gross Income to the country of 100 per cent. That Is to say, every acre of land reclaimed at a total cost of J0 will yield each year at least HO In crops when handled Intelligently. If money can be borrowed at 3 or 4 per cent per annum there should be no hesitation in thus expe dltlng the work. The Interest charge read lly could be Included In the cost of the works, as this Is repaid by the settlers in ten annual Instalments without profit or Interest on ths Investment." Salaries for Medicine Mm, The latest move toward the uplifting and bettering the physical condition of the In dian has Just been announced by Indian Commissioner Valentine, the proposition being to place the "medicine mn" of, the various Indian reservations on the govern ment pay roll. Recently the most In fluential "medicine man" at the Tongue River reservation, Montana, a character considered as one of the bralnest Indians of the northwest, proposed that he act on salary. In conjunction with the agency physician, in a campaign against tuber culosis, a disease particularly rapid In Its spread among Indian tribes when once fairly lodged. Indian agents have suggested that the "medicine man" be Induced, if possible, to assist the regular physicians, and that they be allowed a small salary for this service. The most ignorant element of the tribes could then be leached In a satis factory manner, since the people are ready to follow the counsels of their time-honored tribal doctors. Under the new plan, the "medicine man" would simply transmit the directions of the regular agency doctor whose prescriptions have formerly been discredited and generally not taken at all. Great benefit Is expected if the tribal doc tors can be counted upon to aid in (his work, especially if they will,, assist In spreading proper Ideas of sanitation, which some Indians are slow to accept when rec ommended by white doctors. Rrrau Dora Jfot Respond. William Jennings Bryan, who In his last presidential campaign, received the official endorsement of the officers of the Ameri can Federation of I.ahor. hits been sent a special Invitation to come to Washington to attend the reception which will be given by the various labor unions of this city to President Samuel Goinpeis. when he re turns from Europe October 12. No response has yet been received from Mr. Bryan, but the labor leaders believe he will sccept the Invitation and help In making the reception a big event. Invita tions were also sent to all representatives in congress who have affiliated with the labor union. It Is expected that at least 3&.000 men will participate hi the paiade In Uouitr s bouur. National German Alliance Meets in Cincinnati Delegates fro mForty-Two States Are Welcomed by Governor Harmon and Mayor Galvin. CINCINNATI. O., Oct. 3.-Wllh delegates representing forty-two states present, the National German alliance was formally we. corned to Ohio and to Cincinnati today.

Mayor John Galvin also spoke welcoming the delegates, and Dr. C. J. Hexamer of Philadelphia, president of the alliance, re sponded. In his address President Hexamer said In part: "As devoted cltlsena of this country, we hold ourselves second to none In our de votion to the cause of true temperance and to ail that makes for the sanctity of home and decency and order In the state, but we are bitterly opposed to the passage o fany law that destroys our rights of personal liberty.
