No other medicine in the world was
ever given such a test of its curative
qualities as Boschee's German Syrup. In
three years two million four hundred
thousand small bottles of this medicine
were distributed free OF charge by Drug
gists in this country to those afai cted
with Consumption, Asthma, Group, sew
ere Coughs, Pneumonia ard other diseas-
es of the Throat and Lungs, giving the
American people undeniable proof that
German Syrup will cure them. The result,
has been that Druggists in every town
and village in the United States are re.
commencing it to their customers. Go
to your Druggis', and ask what they
know about it. Sample Bottles l0ccnts

CHI arles Grandson SufIocatcd In. a Well
Five Miles West of flown,
We mentioned briefly in Yesterdays issue
the fact that Charles Grantson, of this city,
had been killedin a we'll on Fred Lerch's
fam, five miles west oftown. The particu-
lars of the affair have since been procured.
Mr.. Grantson, who follows the business of u
we'll digger, was engaged in sinking a we'll
for Mr.. Lerch. Yesterday afternoon he
halted an hour or so from his work, during
which time he partook of a lunch in com
pany with other men who were engaged
about the premises. After his lunch and a
rest he began the descent into the well, which
was over seventy feet in depth. Following
his usual custom, Mr.. Grantson placed his
feet in a loop at the end of the rope, grasped
the rope with his hands and gave the order
to lower him. The men at the windlass
slowly unwound the rope which let Mr..
Grantson into the we'll. When he had
gone down about three quarters Of the dis
lance to the bottom he called to those above
to pull him up quick. The order was obey
ed with alacrity, but the windlass had
taken only a few upward turns when Mr..
Grantson's hold on the rope loosened and he
fell. backward to the bottom of the we'll.
Under = suspicion Of the presence of foul
air q lantern was let down and the light was
Immediately extinguished. This was evi-
dence conclusive that the bottom of the we'll
vas filled with gas in which 10 human beng
could live. A message was sent to town for
graphing irons and as quickly as possible
they we're sent out. While endeavoring to
use them a candle was lowered, which burn
ed brightly at the bottom of the we'll, re-
vealing the position Of the ~lifeless remains
Of Mr.. Grantson. 1t was then deemed safe
to venture below and a man went down,
fastened a rope around the body,
which was drawn to the surface and imme.
diately brought to his home in this city
1t is evident that in digging the we'll q
small vein Of gas was tapped which filled
the opening and when Mr.. Grantson DIES.
cended he was overcome and suf1ccated be-
fore he could give the alarm. The we'll is
a new one. At sixty-fvc feet down water
was found, but it afterwards run out and
Mr.. Grantson was sinking the we'll in search
of another water vein.
The deceased has resided in Yankton
several years. He was a member Of the
police force a couple Of years ago, served 9
few months as acting city marshal and ran
as an opposition candidate at the time Mar.
shal Baumann was elected. He was q hard
working man, universally respected and
was the sole provider of a wife and a fam
lily Of three children, who are left in desti.
tute circumstance by his sudden death
Coroner Elter is holdidg an inquest on the
remains this afternoon.

sued by the poet commander, Col. Lugen-
beel:
I'm future the post trader il forbidden to
sell Concord bittsrs, Jamaica ginger. and all
other alcoholic compounds without permits
sion from the post medical officer, approved
BY the post commander"
This strictly prohibitory order was con-
sidered necessary from the fact - it is
soberly averred, that some men actually rot
drunk on bay rum and cologne, which are
"alcoholic compounds" When!men get on q
jamboree on hair dressing, then most GER
tainly the EXTREMIST prohibitory measures
are excusable.
Several passengers arrived here to-day
from Red Cloud agency. They report that
about 800 we'll armed warriors have recently
left the agency, with the intention, it is sur
missed, ofjoining the. hostiles in the north
west. The Indians declare that the entire
band willleave in about two weeks.

is on a business visit to this place and Fort
Randall. Since retiring from the traders

in the introduction of the Arizona blanket,
with flattering success. Reynolds and Kill

upon the subject.
w. R. Erwin and wife of Cheyenne
agency passed through White Swan to-day
on their way homeward.,'
The "dug-way" on the Randall read near
White Swan, is = difficult and dangerous
place, and its improvement is an imperative
public necessity.
There are places where the road, just
wide enough for Q wagon, leads along the
edges Of deep gorges and precipices, where
the least mishap would hurl team and pas
sengers to certain destruction. This is
much too important a thoroughfare to have
such deadfal.s in its track.
The military at Randall have secured a
large supply Of good, solid ice.
On their recent visit here the Spotted
Tail Indians bought all tie good, fat ponies
that were offered for sale. This action may
have a significance which will no, become
fully apparent until the grass starts in the
spring.
Many military officers and nearly all the
old fron.iersmen predict a general Indian
war next summer
