150 WOMEN ARE FACING
DEATH ON THE PRAIRIES
Philips, S. D., Dec. 28.—One hundred
and fifty young women are suffering
for want of food and fuel on the prai
ries of South Dakota, and an appeal
lias been sent from Sioux City ami

the head offices of the Northwestern

and roughened by toll, with undying
ambition to prove up on their land

"You see 1 am saving of writing pa
per. They are out of everything at the
store. The storekeeper says his hulr
has turned white during the past
month trying to keep people from
starving. I don’t know’ what another
atorm will do to the railroad, but peo
ple of Rloux City and Des Moines ought
to do something to get things shipped
In here soon, as freight lug on the trail
Is altogether too slow. Do something,
and do it quick, or all of us will starve
and freeze.”
The 150 women who have been lead
ing the pioneer life on the prairies of
South Dakota never dreunied of facing
the danger which Is now besetting
them when they went to their claims,
happy and carefree, last fall. The set
tlers have money, hut there is nothing
to buy.

New York, Dec. 28.—John D. Rocke-
nn * I feller, king of oil, was # atlacked and de-
fifty-seventh annual meeting of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science. Henry Laurens ('all,
of Washington, In a paper on, "The
Concentration of Wealth," attacked the
light of Mr. Rockefeller to Ills fortune.
He declared that the ell king’s riches
had not been the result of natural
causes, hut had been created through
the activity of corporations. Mr. fall
referred to these corporal inns as "vi
cious.’’
When It came his turn to speak,
Louis McPherson, assistant to the lute
Samuel Stiencer, as president of the
Southern railway, came to the defense
of Mr. Rockefeller and replied to the
attack made by Mr, t’uil. Mr. McPher
son said the oil king had had Ills finan
cial struggles and that he hud done a
great deal of good, which had been
lost sight of In the mass of celticism
which had been hurled at him.
Speaking less seriously, Mr. Mc
Pherson told of u dinner party sev
eral years ugo fit the Rockefeller home
when Mrs. Rockefeller explained the
absence of oysters by saying: "We like
them, but are too poor to have them.”
Mr. McPherson’s point was that al
though a man might be worth $100,000,-
ftOO he might still be without ready cash
If he kept Ills enterprises going on full
