A Monument 10 wild Ril,.

From the Deadwood Times of Sept
29th, we clip the following historial
facts concerning the above named noted
scout and Indian fighter: The Riordan
monument to "Wild Bill' was placed on
the dead scouts grave at nine o'clock
Sunday morning. The bust surmounts
pedestal five feet high, the entire
affair rising eight feet above the ground.
There were no ceremonies incident to
placing the statue, only the sculptor and
one or two assistants being present at the
time. J. H. Flynn, secretary of the
Black Hills Pioneer society, has lately
had more or less correspondence about
"Wild Bill" yesterdays mail bringing
him the following letter, which gives a
short but interesting account of his
career: ..... ....
JOLIET, ILL.,, Sept. 25, 1891.
Pioneer Society, Deadwood. South Dakota:
Gentlemen: The true name of +" Wild
Bill'' was James B. Hickok, and he was
born in the village of Homer, township
of Troy, LaSalle county, Illinois, May
27, 1887, where he resided until nine
teen years old, when he went to Kansas
joined Jim Lane and fought with HIM
through the Kansas troubles. He then
went freighting on the plains for Majors
&Russel of Leavenworth. At the opening
of the war he was guarding pony ex-
press station OF Rock creek north of
Junction City, where he was attacked by
the McCandless gang, and single handed
he killed seven of them. He told his
brother he just got wild and went in to
kill, and from that fight he got his name
of ''Wild Bill'. ..
He was born in frame dwelling
house in Homer, which is still standing
and not in log house as stated in so
many books. When boy he read "Kit
Carson and the "Trappers Guide" care
fully, and at the age of sixteen he told
his family he would go on the plains and
equal any thing exit Carson" ever did.
He was good natured and never
quarrelsome, but when put upon or pro-
voked he never backed down from any
living man, whether armed or unarmed.
He was six feet one and one half inches
in height, square shouldered and very
1.-the and active, and measured forty
seven inches around the chest. The in
cidents of his western life are given in
"Buell's Heros," but are highly colored
and overstated.

sALUTAToRY.

In making our bow to the citizens of
Sturgis and Meade county, as editor and
proprietor of the STURa1s ADVERTISER,
we wish 10 announce that we are here
for the purpose of doing the greatest
amount of good to the greatest number
of.people, and at the same time it will be
our strongest endeavor to make the AD-
vRRT1sER legitimate newspaper in
every respect.
The politics of the ADVERTISER will be
democratic. Democratic because we are
a democrat and believe that democracy
is the true republicanism of the world.
To the people of Sturgis we will say
that we will ever be found working to
upbuild the city and endeavoring to lay
the superior advantages to be found
here, for the investment of capital, be-
fore the public, east, south and west, in
true and intelligent manner. The
business men of Sturgis will find us
strictly business in all our dealings, it
being our strongest desire to make the
ADVERTISER one of THE business institu-
tions of the "Key City"
The best interests of the farmers of
Meade county will always be subserved,
it being our uppermost desire to advance
the farming industry Of the county,
knowing from experience, that no
country or state can make any progress
whatever without the assistance of the
farmer, if he is progressive and indus
trious.
AS newsy newspaper the ADVERTISER
will be found in the front ranks, giving
the cream of the news in fair and i'm
partial manner, ever endeavoring to gain
the friendship of the many and the
enmity of but few.

A travelling salesman who has ranged
over South Dakota for years, and who is
thoroughly acquainted with the ups and
downs of the people of this state, makes
statement which is published in the
Mitchell Republican as follows: Il
want to go on record as saying that the
merchants of South Dakota are buying
thirty-three per cent more goods and
better qualities than for three years.
The facts apply to the entire state.
North, south, east, and west, the condit-
ions are similar, and let me tell you that
South Dakota has just begun to grow.
The railroads will haul millions of bush
els out of South Dakota this fall, and
they will bring back hundreds of farm
ers and housekeepers next year. ]
have traversed South Dakota in all sorts
of weather, and in good and bad seasons
I have always affirmed that South
Dakota was one of the foremost states in
the sisterhood, so far as natural sources
are concerned, and I am convinced thai
my theory is correct"

Is ALUM POISONOUS?

Halls Journal of Health
''This question has caused good
deal of discussion. Alum is used by
many bakers to whiten their bread, en-
abling them to use an inferior -four. It
is most extensively employed as a cheap
substitute for cream of tarter in the
manufacture of baking powders. 1t has
not been considered Immediately dan
gerous; although if continued it induces
dyspepsia and obstinate constipation.
But the fact that many cases OF poison
ing have occurred from the use OF alum,
puts the question in more serious as
pect, and prudent people will exercise
caution in the selection of baking pow
ders."
"Under what conditions then, d6es
this substance formerly used only for
mechanical or medicinal purposes be-
come poisonous? They are certainly
obscure, and at present we can only sur
mise what they may be. We suspect
that the cause exists in the individual
poisoned; some popularity OF the con-
stitution producing morbid change in
the secretions OF the stomach, with
which the alum combines and forms an
active poison; or the secretions may be
healthy but in unusul proportions, and
that these less or greater proportions in
combination with the alum constitute a
poison"
For example, two parts OF mercury
and two parts Of chlorine form calomel
which is not poisonous, but change the
proportions to one part mercury and two
parts OF chlorine, and we get corrosive
sublimate, which is a deadly poison.
.Then again we know nothing OF the
constitutional peculiarities. Why 10 il
that one person can eat all kinds 81
green fruits and vegetables with impun
lity, while the same course might cos
another individual his life? One persor
can handle poison ivy and sumao with
! out being IN the least affected; anothel

There is one apprehension among the
political boomers of the republican party
that seems to cause considerable wake
fullness, and that is they are afraid that
the democrats and Independents will
fuse. What of it il they do? Haven't
the republicans and Independents the
same privilege? The scintilaters around
the Star orbit in Lawrence county,
through their chief organ, the Deadwood
Times, have begun to howl already,
with fear, lest the luster from Solomon's
chance be covered with dust, and their
presant efforts remain only as blowout
upon the face OF the congressional world.
