TO WHOM lTMAY CONCERN.
The Resolution of the Cotton
Exchange.

DO you know that it is a crmi.
nal act in selling cotton to deduct
from the true weight Of
any bale or bales OF cotton2
If you do not know this fact, I
then advise you that at the last
session of the legislature of this
state a law was passed making q
deduction from the true weight Of
any bale or bales of cotton a mis-.
demeanor, or criminal offensc,
punishable by a fine of not less
than $40 nor more than $50 for
each ofensc, or for each bale Of
cotton from which the deduct,on
was mado. See act No. 81, page
II of the acts of 1883.
Do you know that the cotton
exchanges have no right, power,
or authority to change. repeal or
annul sad criminal statute OF tho
state Of Louisiana, by adopting
resolutions contrary to the pro-
visions Of said criminal statute2
II you do not know this fact, I
then advise you that they have no
such right, power or authority,
and that such resolution Is in
contempt Of law and public au-
thority, and will not protect or
exempt you from indictment, pros
ecution and punishment for eacII
violation of said criminal statute.
Do you know that said crlmi-
nal act was passed in the interest
and for the protection OF cotton
planters, and that for It's visla.
ton you Will certainly be prosecu-
ted and fined to the full extent of
: the law for each and every offense?
II you do not know this fact, l
: then advise you that such will be
j. the case, and the cotton planters
will be active in all the prosecu.
e tions for the violation Of sa,d
q criminal statute.
further advise you to disre.
. gard the illegal and void resolu.
n tions Of the cotton exchange, and
to obey the laws of the state, and
9 to make no deduction from the
II true weight Of cotton, including
the weight Of the bagging and
:. ties thereon, which is in accord
Ia ance with the former customs in
the sales of cotton, and which il

Inherited Blood l'0is0n.

How many people there are
whose distress from sores,
aches, pains and eruptive ten
dencies are due to inherited
blood poison. Bad blood passes
from parent to child, and it
therefore is the duty of man
and wife to keep their blood
pure. This is easily accom-
plished by a timely use Of B.

MARRIED.

CoRNwELL- -MooHEL-At the residence of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. L. Mochel,
Deadwood, Tuesday morning, August 90 1889,
by the Rev. w. H. Buss, George w. Cornwell,
Sturgis, to Miss Ophelia Mochel.
The consumation of this marriage
was surprise to many of the friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Cornwell in this city and
Deadwood. George was very quiet with
his preparations. He rented residence
several weeks ago, furnished it elegantly
and has everything prepared to begin
housekeeping on the return of himself
and wife, = :" =
No young man in this community
stands higher than Mr.. Cornwell. He
is one of our youngest and most ener-
getic business men and deserving of all
success. There is nothing too good for
George and as consequence he is en-
titled to the excellent wife he has Sc
cured.
Mrs. Cornwell is too well known to re-
quire any introduction at our hands
She has lived in Deadwood for several
years past and was one of the leading
bellies of that city. Suffice it to say she
is in every way worthy of the estimable
young man she has chosen for a life
partner.
Immediately after the ceremony, which
was performed in the presence of a Sc
lect number of most intimate friends and
relatives, the young couple, accompanied
by Henry E. Perkins of this city and
Miss Myrtle Lake of Deadwood, drove
to Sturgis where they took the train for
an extended eastern trip. They will
make their first stop ip Chicago, where
they will visit friends for few days. and
then proceed to Syracuse and Courtland,
N. T., visiting Mr.. Cornwel's relatives.
On their homeward journey they will
visit Lansing and Grand Rapids, Mich,
and from thence come direct to Sturgis,
where they will be at home after October
1. They will reside in the Richard
France residence, ON Spruce street.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cornwell will be valu-
able addition to Sturgis society and
their many friends, including the entire
force OF the ADVERTISER, tender their
congratulations and wish them long
and happy journey through life.

OUR TICKET.

The republicans of Meade county did
themselves proud last Saturday. In
all their nominations they made no mis-
takes.
In selecting for the lower house N. G.
Hines, of Big Bottom, and Fl. G Roh-
leder, of Elk creek, they showed good
Judgment and careful conservatism.
Mr.. Hines is an old timer in the Hills
having come here in May, 1877. He is
81 years Of age, and came here from
Meeker county, Minnesota, which bor-
ough he represented in the state legisla-
ture in 1874. He is an actual farmer,
being engaged in that vocation at the
present time. He is careful and con-
servatiye man.
III. G. Rohleder is also an old resident
of the Hills, first coming here in 1876.
He is 81 years of age, at present actively
engaged in farming, and is an examining
and civil engineer. He is conservative
and very we'll balanced man. He is an
old vet, having served fn the 31st Iowa
infantry for three years.
Both these gentlemen are republicans
in the fullest sense of the word and
Moody from the ground up and from
center to circumference. Both of them
will be elected

Judge, is too well known 10 require much
attention here The VOTERS ef the conn

FRANCIS MURPHY.

The third party people have fallen out
with Francis Murphy and will have no
more Of him and all because Murphy had
the courage of his convictions on the
prohibition question as he had on the
temperance question. Mr.. Murphy has
at various times of late seen fit to express
himself in no uncertain language on the
question of prohibition, asserting his be-
lief that it would retard rather than help
the cause of temperance. For this the
third party people have decided to boy
colt him. Think lit. Francis Murphy,
whose whole time for quarter of cen
tury nearly, has been spent in lifting the
drunkard from the gutter; Francis Muir
phy who has talked temperance to more
people than any other one man in the
United States; Francis Murphy who has
doubtless saved more men from the
drunkard's grave than the 100000 men
who voted for st. John combined, boy
cotted by professed temperance people
because he had on opinion of his own
based on practical experience and knowl-
edge as to the best means of lessening
the evils Of intsmperance. The, boycott
will not injure Mr.. Murphy.-Omaha

IN THE LINE OF DUTY.

The Black Hills people should remem-
ber that the capital as located in October
will probably remain for all time, and
their vote should be solid for a place
that will be central and accessible. If
they want railroads to penetrate their
Businesses and to get the reservation
opened LET them vote for Pierre. The
capital located at Pierre, and all these
things will speedily follow, and soon the
vast fertile region between the Missonri
river and the Hills would be teeming
with population and humming with in
dustry. The people Of the Hills should
not Be thrown off their guard and driven
from the line Of duty because of the
brass band parades Of the border towns,
gotten up simply to boom real estate and
enrich corner lot fellows. The country
vest of Tie Missouri is as good OF better
