Something wrong when you tire too
easily. Something wrong when the
skin is not clear and smooth. Some
thing wrong when the blood is i'm
pure. Everything right when you
take DeWitt's Sarsaparilla. 1t recon-
mends itself. E. Brauch.

Kutnewsky, Redfield, S. d.
a county newspaper is to a large eX-
tent public as well as a private enter
prise. Schools, churches, secret socie-
ties and public affairs without end, all
draw on its time and recources. The
local paper, therefore, has q just claim
upon all within its sphere. To ignore
it is not only to set ones judgement
against the brightest business minds of
the world, but it is distressing COM
mentary upon self estimation of public
spirit.--Isimball Graphic.
An Elk Point special to the Sioux
City Journal says that in an injunction
case recently argued before Judge
Smith at Yanllton it was held that the
| complaining witness must swear that
the beer is intoxicating. This is a
somewhat difficult thing to do unless
one has drank Of the contents of the
bottle or keg. Again, the court held
that the search warrant was too old,
having been issued more that 10 days.
The result was the injunction was not
granted and about $40 costs thrown
upon the county. So it would be at
the Big Sioux. Who will swear that
the beer, or whatever it may be, is in
toxicatlng? The recent supreme court
decision seems to have knocked the
bottom out of prohibition, at least as
far as beer is concerned.
The following item is credited to II.
j. Burdett, the humorist: "Did you
ever notice, when man smites his
thumb with a hammer when putting
down carpet under wifely supervision
and criticism, how quickly he thrusts
the bruised and throbbing member into
his ready mouth? People think the ap-
plication is soothing. But no, 1t is an
involuntary movement; same as wink
ing. The man cannot help it. Nature
knows what a man would be apt to say
under the circumstances and so has
provided him with a stopper, and has
ordained that when he hits his thumb
hard enough to hurt-and it doesn't
take much to nearly kill man when
he is doing something he don't want to
by sort of interlocking system his
thumb flies to his mouth and stops him
up SO that he can't say anything. Some
men whom you and know should be
provided with an extra thumb which
they should carry about in their mouth
all the time it was not in active USE
1t would be a great thing wouldn't
it?"
Jesse Spore was brought to Hurley
from Centreyille Friday evening by
Constable Colman and Marshal Walk
er, for an examination before Justice
Pier, charged with assault with intent |
to kill. His intended victim was At
torney Fleeger, of Centreville. Mr..
Fleeger had recently conducted cases
against Spore and his father and ob-
tained judgements against them for
eastern parties, one of the trials taking
place last Thursday. Fleeger was
standing in front of his office when
Spore approached and announced that |
he was going to kill him, and COM
menced firing. Although the parties
were no more than six feet apart at
the commencement, Spore proved to be
a very poor marksman. After the
second shot Fleeger ran, and Spore fired
two shots more before he was disarmed.
On being taken before the justice he
waived examination, and was bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury. the bonds being placed at $500,
which he secured. Spore is a cripple
and is compelled to use crutches in get
ting around, which fact may. in a meas
ure, account for his poor aim.
