South Dakota Politics.


The free silver sentiment VIII ich seem
ed to sweep oyer the country following
Bryan's nomination. is, says late Yank-
ton dispatch, growing weak in South
Dakota. The reaction has commenced
and the voters are now asking them
selves in what respect will the free
coinage of silver benefit them? This
research is bearing fruit to such de
gree that some of the most rampant
advocates of the white metal have de-
clared there is nothing in it for them.
The political partnership formed by
Pettigrew and Loucks is doing more
good for the republican party than any
one thing that could have been devised.
Senator Pettigrew had not been in the
populist party twenty-four hours before
he assumed to be its boss. The senator
has great aptitude for holding the reins
and fourishing the whip.
The aftermath of the of the populist
convention Is full of interesting situa-
tions. 1t is now announced that w. s.
Logan, the nominee for state treasurer,
will be withdrawn from the ticket be-
cause of his inability TO furnish the re-
quired bond of 100000 if elected. 1t is
further stated that the state central
committee, at the suggestion of Messrs.
Pettigrew.and Loucks, will make other
changes in the ticket and substitute
names more to their liking. Again, it is
said that John +. Kelley, the congress.
iohal candidate will be opposed by the
A, P. A. faction of the populist party,
which is no small opposition. There is
a growing opposition to the Loucks
wi,ig Of the party that almost amounts
to reyolution.
Judge Palmer has again declared his
position on the financial question. In
recent conversation he said: Il do
not agree with Pettigrew he is silye
monometallist, while am for the free
coinage of both metals" Palmer still
claims to be republican.

Mining Items.

The Deadwood Mining Review says
about forty or fifty practical miners
are idle at Bald Mountain, owing to the
fact that ore cannot be treated when
taken out, through the ineffciency of
the home reduction plants"
w. w. Olds, who is developing some
Elk Mountain claims, has 40-foot shaft
on vertical vein six feet wide. The
ore is Of sufficiently high grade to
warrant shipment to local works, if they
were not already flooded with ore of
their own.-Pionesr.
The Wasp Mining company has de-
clared dividend of $4,000 for the
month of June which has been distr-
buted among the stockholders. During
the month 27 carloads Of ore were ship
ped to Kansas City for treatment. Each
carload netted the company $1,000 a
total of S2s,020, For the present month
up to this time 20 carloads of the same
grade of ore haye been shipped.

The Butte, Neb., Gazette, hitherto
staunch democratic paper, which is now
included in the elongated list of boilers
of the party platform, gives the follow
ing potent reason for the change: "In
common with many democrats and
democratic papers the Gazette has come
to "the parting of the ways" and from
this on will use its best endeavors for
the election of Mckinley and Hobart.
This step has not been taken on the
spur of the moment, but after a mature
and careful deliberation. Had the
Chicago convention nominated demo.
crat upon democratic platform this
political change would not have been
taken, but to expect us to swallow q free
silver pop upon an anarchist platform
labeled democracy is asking too much"

GOLDEN SUMMIT MINE.
The New York Engineering and Min
ing Journal, in a recent issue, has the
following mention of the late operations
on the above property, contributed by
its special Hills correspondent "After
several weeks spent in prospecting this
property, DR.. Rothermel, of Brooklyn,
n. Y, says that the formation Of the
Summit is the most difficult and per-
picking that he has ever met with. The
group of claims which comprise the
Golden Summit property seems TO be
trayersed in every direction by blind
ledges Of varying width, the majority of
which carry good free gold values. The
ground lies within two miles of Har-
ney's Peak, the central mass ofthe Black
Hills upheaval, and, as miners express
it, there's no more order in the forma-
tions than there is in a dogs break fast"
AT one point DIR. Rothermel has un-
covered four intersectng veins, striking
in different directions, two of which
have perfect walls and carry a heavy
gouge without sign of quartz. 1t is
said that the Golden Summit Company
will explore the veins located by DR..
Rothermel by deep working. The mine
yielded 100000 from surface workings
years ago and an attempt will be made
to recover the lost ore chute or uncover
a similar body of high grade ore."

is IT A TRIFLE?
That Common Trouble, Acid
Dyspepsia or. Sour
Stomach.
Now Recognized as a Case Of
Serious Disease.


Acid dyspepsia. commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, il form
of indigestion resulting from fermen.
tation Of the food. The stomach be
ing too weak to promptly digest IL.
the food remains until fermentation
begins, filling the stomach with gas,
and bitter. sour, burning taste In
the mouth is often present. This
condition soon becomes chronic and
being an everyday occurrence is
given but little attention. Because
dyspepsia is not Immediately fatal,
many people do nothing for the
trouble.
1t is now well known among able
physicians that the whole constitu-
zion lis gradually undermined and
weakened. thas the nerves and vital
organs are seriously affected by any
form of dyspepsia. This is plain, az
every organ, every nerve in the bod
is nourished by the blood and the
blood is replenished from the food
digested. If the food is properly di.
gested the blood is pure, the nerves
steady. but if supplied from a sour.
fermenting. decaying mass. the
blood is vitiated, poisoned and the
result is shown in sleeplessness. lack
Of energy. poor appetite, nervous.
ness. Every trifle is magnified and
the dyspeptic sees nothing but the
dark side of everything.
Within recent period q remed '
has been discovered prepared solely
to cure dyspepsia and stomach tro9-
bles. 1t is known as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and it is now becom.
ing rapidly used and prescribed % a
radical cure for every form Of dys.
pepsia.
1t is not claimed to cure anything
except dyspepsia and stomach weak
ness In its various form. but for this
it has been shown to be unequalled.
The eminent specialists. Reed and
OLeary, have recently stated that
they considered Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets an unfailing specific for dis.
orders of the digestive organs, aud
the remarkable cures made in case
OF long standing dyspepsia proves
that this remedy has extraordinary
merit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
been placed before the public and
sold by druggists everywhere at 30
cents per package. It is prepared
by the Stuart Chemical company,
Marshall, Mich. and while it
promptly and effectually restores a
vigorous digestion. at the same time
is perfectly harmless and will not
injure the most delicate stomach,
but on the contrary by giving per-
feet digestion strengthens the stom-
ach. improves the appetite and
makes life worth living.
