Check Swindler.

the the man "Pierce" mentioned in
last weeks REGISTER says: IL. A.
Breles, farm hand who has been
working in this vicinity for short
time. made up his mind that he could
make money faster and easier than
he had been, so he tried his hand at
raising wheat checks. He quit work
ing on the farm of w. r. Barker last
Friday. and it appears that he COM
menced his financial Operations at
once. His plan was to 60 to farmer,
bay few bags of wheat and take it
to the elevators and sell it. He would
then raise the wheat check, draw his
money and skip. 1t is reported here
that he worked the scheme success
fully in Castlewood and Watertown,
and then came back to Estelline.
Here he hired n team on Saturday
and drove to Brookings, where he
doubtless meant to continue his
scheme. for rapid money making.
Sheriff Drming, of fCodingtop. captured
him Monday and passed through
Watertown with his prisoner on the

The New York Land and Irrigation
company has been organized in New
YorK with capital OF $l,OOO,OOO
and $500, 600 paid in. Thomas, the
millionaire Ink manufacturer IS presi.
dent and the other officers and stocK-
holders are men OF large means. The
organization was framed principally
Tor the purpose Of buying lands in the
James river valley, and sinking
arteslan wells for the purpose of irri
cation. The lands with the water
supply will be closed out in tracts, as
the opportunity is offered, to farmers
and Others who may want to buy.
Z. w. Barringer. vice president of the
company, is now in HuroL and is
actively engaged in carrying out the
interests OF the organization. Last
week he visited Aberdeen and other
portions of Brown county, and made
careful survey of the field, noting
the efforts which have been made
toward irrigation and pricing lands.
Brown, Splnk and Beadle counties, he
says, will be operated in largely by
the company, which will commence
making its purchases at once.
Citizens in and around Aberdeen
find much to be encouraged over in
spite of the oppressed condition of
affairs. The Northern Pacific's ex.
tension through this city to Pierre
adds another spoke to the hub and
opens another field for our Wholesale
and retail business men. TheSoo will be
built from Bisma' ok to Aberdeen next

Another Case.

A clear case of swindling occurred
at this place last Friday afternoon.
A young man about twenty years OF
age, driving span OF mules, stopped
at the farm Of II. s. Parliament just
south of town and purchased eight
bushels OF wheat, paying 95 cents per
buahel for the same, saying he wanted
it for seed. He then drove to town
and took the wheat to the L. G.
Porter Milling Co., warehouse and
sold it for the market price, receiving
wheat check for SIS O5. He then
took the check aud placed a 8 before
the So O5 and < before the 8 bushels
making it read So bushels and $50 O5.
With this raised check he went to j.
M. Ferguson's and had it ashed. took
the cash and skipped out. All at
tempts to find the foreer have proved
trultless as yet. but it is hoped he may
be brought up and 'sent over the
road 1t is reported that he worked
the same game at Watertown the
next day.-Castlewood Times.

Fruitless Burglary.

Last Friday night someone raised
the side window of Madams Hunt &
CoIegrove's millinery store, and
transacted the goods and removed the
money drawer from its position under
the counter. Mrs. Hunt had removed
all the money from the drawer when
she closed the store, and says moth
ing has been missed, 80 it would
seem that money was all the burglar
was after, and not finding any made
his exit without taking anything.

Do you want To get rid of that headache that bothers you so muehp Do you want to drive away that ineipent eatarrh that is settling itself in your head? Do you want to change that sallow and blotchy c0mpleS- for a skin that is bright and clear? Doyou want to keep your mind clear, your breath sweet and your blood pure? Then Peru na is the thing you need. Now is the time of the year when you need something that will make your blood pure and keep you free from those many Spring complaints to which all are so subject. Of course, if your catarrh has become chronic, or the impuri- ties in your blood have developed into q disease, then La-cu-pi-a should be taken, and taken at once, Otherwise Pe-rn-na is all that you need, supplemented always, however, by Man-a-lin, to keep the bowels in good condition.

Thinkers VIII Heed This.

Not ono physician in a thousand has ever succeeded in relieving person suffering from weak and wasting or consumptiyt kidneys, yet they continue to experiment, and after the death of their patient ask for their fee. The kidney Is delicate organ, and yet good health in large measure de bends upon its proper action. Let the kid neys become sore or inactive, and the uric acid Is eliminated from the effete matter that passes too slowly out of the system. From this cause arises many mysterious pains in the back. side, shoulder, joints and limbs. A feeling of ennui comes over the victim. The world seems dark and gloomy. The nerves become shatter~.l; suicide is contemplated. and ones condition Is mos, pitable. Dr. Bulls Sarsaparilla contains such herbal juices as weak ksineys demand. It has relieved and cured many eases that doctors gave up as hopeless. It checks de- cay and aids the kidneys in performance of their natural function.

BEN TEE.ELL's SPEECH.

Ben Terrell, the national lecturer of the National Farmers Alliance, ad- dressed quite large audience, com posed of all political and industrial classes at the court house Wednesday. It was brimful of good ideas and excel lent advice. Mir. Terrell said many thing that we have always advocated. He spoke against the idea of the white people being divided in politics in this country. He stated very emphatically that our interests are identical, and he said much to demonstrate that we can not be d prosperous people while we continue to exert ourselves against each other. We regret that more of the people did not hear him. Much good may come of it, and We sincerely hope everyone will profit by his remarks
 It was a splendid argument in favor of dem oeracy, pure and undecided. The negro came in for fair share of his re- marks. He said they were not now fitted to govern that every time they had been tried they failed that the white people would not submit to it, and that he would not have anything to do with ticket tn at had negro on it. He told the negroes that tue man who would urge them to aspire to office was their worst enemy. He spoke against the national banking system and the corporate foreign ownership of lands, and strongly in favor of the national warehouse system for the storage of the farmers products. THE TIMES is glad the speech was made, and a platform enuneiated on which the people may come together.
