Another Splendid Offer.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat-semi-
weekly-Tuesday and Friday-eight
pages each issue-sixteen pages every
week-oNLY ONE DOLLAR a YEAR, is UNI
questionably the biggest, best and
cheapest national news journal put
lished in the United States. Strictly
republican in politics, it still GIVES ALL
II NEWS, and gives it at least three
days earlier than it can be had from
any weekly paper published anywhere.
1t is Indispensable to the farmer, mer
chant or professional man who desires
to keep promptly and thoroughly post
ed, but has not the time to read a large
daily paper; while its great variety of
we'll selected reading matter makes it
invaluable as a home aud family paper.
Remember the price, ONLY ONE DOLLAR

Cut I'm Two.

The STAR makes no pretensions for
being a CHEAP paper. We are seeking
to publish Il good newspaper and fur
nish it at as reasonable a price as pos
sible. A majority of newspapers pub
lished in the Black Hills charge 81. 90 a
year for ubscriptions-somem more than
that, and some less. The STAR will not
seek to compete with the CHEAP class,
but as an inducement to cash in ad-
subscriptions during this time of
depression we will make the following
proposition:
10 all personspaying US sl.OO in cash
between o and January LIST We will
send the STAR until January LIST, 1898.
Delinquent subscribers who desire to
receive the benefits of this reduction
must pay up their back subscriptions.
We will make it easy for them to do so
IL they will call-we can square up in
some manner, and enable subscribers
to start in the new year with their paper
at half price and paid for one year in
advance. Do not delay in accepting
this proposition for 1t will hold open
only until January LIST.

The preliminary examination Of Elk
Postmaster Elliott, of Buffalo Gap, who
was arrested last week forthe embezzel-

tinued by Court Commissioner Ander-
o until January 4, 1897, awaiting
the arrival of the United States district
attorney. Mr.. Elliott has been released
Oh a $500 bond.
According to the Buffalo Gap Re-
publican Mr.. Elliott's populations en-
tend through several months and this
is his second offense. 1t says: "Some
four months ago the United States in
spector was here aud checked the office

good. Soon after it was requested that
another nan be named for the office.
but this was delayed until there was a
peremptory demand, whereupon the
name of A. w. Swinford was sent in
and he was appointed, vice Elliott
removed. From the time Mr.. Swim
ford's name was sent in there has been
quite a fight on hand which extended
up to the time he was commissioned
which was finally done early in the
month but the commission did not
reach him until Wednesday morning,
\ few days previous to MIR. Elliott's
arrest it became known to the bonds
mon that he vas short again. but the
books were in such shape they were
unable to tell sthe exact amount,
but it is quite certain that it is
about 1865. Where all this money
has gone to MIR. Elliott says he is UNI
able to say. Upon ascertaiuing that
there was u shortage again of about
the same amount, u warrant was pro-
cured for his arrest and the bondsmen
took charge of the office"
