Burned at Pierre.

The old Northwestern stage line barns
and repair shops, erected at Pierre away
back in the '7O's, when traffic was carried
on by stage lines with the Black Hills
country, caught fire Saturday, and were
burned to the ground. The department
worked hard and barely prevented the
burning of the entirs town owing to the
terrible gale which was blowing at the
time. The loss will be several
thousand dollars on buildings,
and many more on buggies, stage
coaches and freight wagons stored away.
The big barns are historically noted as
being the place where BuffaloI Bill first
fitted up his wild west show and trained
his band of Indians and practiced cowboys
and where the first stage coach was used
and made which is now a part of the show.
This IS also the place where Gems. Crook
and Custer made their headquarters while
in this section, and where fifteen Indians
were shot by order of the government in
1915,

SOUTH DAKOTA SUMMARIZED.
Disa strous Fires Started in Dakota by Mis-
creants.

Much damage was done along Cain
creek, south of Huron, by a prairie fire
Friday night. The fire was started by un-
known parties early in the day, and was
driven rapidly before a strong wind which
sprang up about shutdown. Many tons of
hay wero destroyed and several fine tree
claims almost entirely ruined. Therei is great
indignation among the settlers, as this is the
fourth time they have suffered from prairie
fires in as many seasons. Efforts to dis
cover who started the fire are being made,
and if they prove successful prosecution
will follow. The board Of county commits
sioners at their next session will be asked
to offer rewards for the arrest and convic-
ton OF persons setting prairie fires.

An Alliance Convention.

As stated in The Herald and News
/ last week i convention of delegates
from the CountyAll!ances i'll the Third
Congressional District was held last
Friday at Belton. ,Oconee, Pickens and
Newberry Alliances had representa-
tivcs in the convention. The Alliances
of Abbeville and Anderson had held
their meetings before the call for this
convention was made, and therefore
had no regular delegates from the alil-
ances present.
\ permanent organization was eff
fected by The election Of Dr.. J. {.
Alexander, of Oconre, Chairman, and
Jno. 7. Duncan, Of New!rrry, Secre-
tary.
The object of the meeting was to
unite the alliances Of the Third Dis
trict in the selection Of q candidate to
succeed Judge Cothran in Congress,
ana adopt Il platform and to discuss
the situation generally. The plan of
those who favored the call OF this con-
vention seems to be for the Alliances of
this District to adopt a platform Of
principles, and unite in the selection
OF a candidate who will make the best
and ablest champion Of the principles
therein set forth, whether he be an
alliance man or not and then for the
Alliances in the District to support
him for Congress. At this convention,
however, no candidate was endorsed.
\ platform was adopted, the provisions
of which it is not desired to make pub
lie.
An executive committee was ap-
pointed consisting of one member from
each county in the District. Mr.. JOS.
L. Keitt is the member from Newberry
and chairman of the committee. An
other convention will he called when
necessary by this committee.

The Weather.

The cold wave signal was hoisted on
Saturday and the cold wave came and
with the first day of spring we began
to feel as if winter had just set in. In
fact it is the only real cold weather we
have had during this winter and the
cold was general throughout the coun-
try and the coolest ever known at this
season. The second day Of Spring
brought nice little snow, the first of
any consequence during the winter but
it sooD melted. There was considerable
freeze during Saturday night and Sun
day morning.
1t is thought the weather has been
cold enough to kill out the fly. Early
gardens will be given q back set. The
weather is still much like winter.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
Contains Mercury


Contains Mercury,
as mercury will surely destry the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,

internally, and acts directly upon the
