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.
Promptly at midnight the doors will swing
open at the two big buildings where the
registration will take place, and the work
will be on. At the Flathead reservation
opening at Missoula, Mont., last summer,
. the notaries worked on a twelve-hour
schedule, operating from 8 o'clock In the
morning until 8 at night. 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.

Musician at AndHorlnm
Tonight.
The United States Marine band, In glit
tering uniform, and In perfect condition
for a superb concert season, will arrive In
Omaha this morning and will open the en
gagement with a splendid concert at the
Auditorium tonight
The Marine band has Just closed a week's
engagement at the Mitchell Corn Palace

fact had It not been for the Mitchell en
gagement the band could not have been
heard in Omaha, for it seldom leaves
Washington except for national or state
events such as great expositions.
Through the Influence of the South Da
kota senators the Mitchell Corn Palaee
management secured the band for a week
and Manager Gillan was fortunate in geU
ting the band on Its way home for two
days at the Auditorium. This great musi
cal organisation created a perfect furere
of enthusiasm at the Mitchell Corn Palace
and the newspapers have devoted pages
to the praise of the splendid concerts given
at Mitchell.
Now that the street car service has been
practically restored to its normal coridl
tlon the people of Omaha and the Ak-fear
Hen visitors will have an opportunity to
hear these fine concerts with ease and
comfort. The Auditorium never looked so
Inviting as at present. The arena floor
has been furnished with 1,000 handsome,
comfortable new chairs and the big build
ing has been thoroughly cleaned and put
In fine condition for the accommodation of
the public.
The box office will open at 9 o'clock
Monday morning and will be open con
tinuously throughout the band engagement

Outspoken Stand for Roosevelt Pol

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.

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.
The main business meeting of the body
will be held tomorrow.
At the meeting today Governor Judson
Harmon, In welcoming the visiting dele
gates on behalf of the state, paid eloquent
trlbut to the German-American Boclety, as
cribing them a love of liberty that Is char
acteristic of them as a people and which
he said can but make for good In the coun
try of their adoption.
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. As free and sovereign
people, we believe that we have the right
to regulate our lives as we see fit. The
right to drink our wine and our beer, we
consider as absolute an attribute of human
liberty as Is the right to buy any other
food.
"The divine right of each to pursue his
own good In his own way should not be
sacrificed to the fears and the fanaticism
of those who regard or pretend to regard
drink as ft crime.
"We German-Americans have never al
lowed our. love of food or drink to degen
erate lntd Intemperance or to Interfere
with the good of the community, and w
regard prohibition as an unrighteous In
vasion of our manhood rights and of hu
man freedom.
"The strongest plea that can be put for
ward for the mildest form of prohibition
local option Is that It enables a fanati
cal majority to lord over a liberal minded
people. Let us hope that the spirit of
liberty and American fair play will soon
cause a re-actlon against the move of fan
aticism that Ib now spreading over the
land."
A resolution proposing to pledge the
Alliance to use Its good offices to pre
vent the adoption of a constitutional
amendment In Maryland, restricting suf
frage in that state, will probably be a
feature of tomorrow's business meeting.
Delegate Carl Schaltr of Baltimore an
nounced tonight that he would Introduce
such a resolution.

Sad Tale of Musical Wife, Loving
Husband and the Peripatetio
1 Teuton.
This is a tale of a loving husband, his
wife and a little German band. The hUB
band and wife live out Hanscom park way
and the German band Is of no particular
home but peripatetic.
The woman In the case Is fond of music,
Iovcb all kinds from the aymphony orches
tra to the vaudeville violinist who pluys
Willi his Instrument between his knees.
Her niustcul taste, is in short catholic and
comprehensive. In recent time she had
heard every sort of musical performance
but one and this was what started the
trouble.
"I wish," suld she, "I wish I could
hear one of those little German bands
once more. I really like them and I have
not heard one for ages. If you really
love me you will send one up."
"I've a lot of time" replied her husband
"to go round hunting for a diminutive
Teutonic aggregation of bum musicians.
Besides you should not be encouraged In
your depraved taste. Walt until evening
and I'll sing to you."
"Fortunately" returned his spouse "we
are going out tonight."
There the conversation ended, the woman
having the last Word, it will be observed.
But on the way down town, at the corner
of Leavenworth and Sixteenth to be exact,
the husband looked out of the street car
window and saw a littl German band
playing.
He leaped from the car and had words
with the leader. The band was doing well
where It was and many nickels, a few
dimes and one or two quarters were fall
ing Into the hat. More money was near
at hand too. .Nevertheless the band sud
denly quit here and went up the street.
That evening at dinner the musical mis
tress of the home suddenly Bald to her
husband,
"Isn't It the funniest coincidence hut
not long after our talk this morning, there
came along Guess what?"
"Give It up" suld the husband. "What
came along?"
"A German band"' said his w ife. "They
played beautiful, tbo." "Did you pay 'em?"
asked the man.
"Certainly" rsuid she, "I gave them a
dime."
