The Capital, and Things.

capital last week and found it all
there-except the shortages-which |
are there too. But we hadn't lost |
any shortages, SO we visited the host
OF good fellows about the capital
town. And they are there, also, just
lots of them. But Pierre of today is !
decidedly different from the Pierre OF
1884 when this old crank took base
ball team down there and surprised
the predestined fellows in score of
8 to 26. Then the town was full of
alleged cow boys Last week the
town was full OF cows, but not so
many boys, although number OF
the genuine punchers were there load
ing several train loads of cattle from
the range-every train carrying a
fortune for some one.
Like all other South Dakota towns
Pierre isquieter than OF old. She has
lost that feyerish excitement which
made her famous in the early days.
OF course she has a picturesque legis-
lature now and then, with little
state house snyness sandwiched in
between, but Pierre is to blame for
neither. The newspaper boys out
there are making more money n they
know what to do with, as usual, and
we would advise any needy state
officers to borrow few thousands
from the boys until they can turn
themselves. Our business govern
orr Andrew Lee, was there, it is I'M
derstood, for the purpose OF contrac-
with Ayers sarsaparilla, for a half
col. in the Bureau, top column, next
to pure reading,-Grigsby's name
not to be mentioned during life of
contract.
1t was generally supposed there
were no ''squaw men, about Pierre
any more liketthere were in the days
OF the late lauented Gov. Ordway,
Tracy Pratt, Jim Owen and Others,
but this must be a mistake, as two or
three Sioux spuaws were seen coming
out of the state house crying just as
if they had been refused new fall
hat of the prevailing green shade, or
had been commanded by their hus-
bands to put off house cleaning for a
week or two.
The classic Missouri river is still
there, if the Avenue is not, and it is
passable when the wind don't blow q
sand bar down your neck, although
the horses feet kick up quite dust
at any time that coyers one riding
over it in an open carriage. But
Bob Matheson says Pierre doesn't
need water.
The rumor that the c. & n. W. Go.
had bought out the Locke hotel was
a canard-they only leased it tenn
porarily, and Landlord Proudfood
says he will have a new gas well
spouting before the next prohibition
legislature assemblies in "Parlor A"
to repeal that Crime of '97-known
as the anti-nickle-in-t he-slot machine
law. And he is right. Our privi-
leges must not be abridged. Weneed
both the gas and the machine. As
regards the legislature, We can see no
particular use for it until Kyle needs
it again-unless our friend Tomlin-
son wants an Investigating commit
tee appointed.
But speaking of Pierre--there's
only one geographical center, where
the boys are hanqueted on bologna
and head cheese, and where the pho
nograph adjusted in each room OF
the Locke hotel, for the past five
years, shows a record that will make
Star Pointer think he is not the only
pebble OH the beach.

At this time Of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run it's course without the aid Of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure a
cough or cold than Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given en-
tire satisfaction-Olagah, Ind. Ter.

This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive OF
pneumonia. Among the many thou
sands who have used it for colds and
la grippe, we have never yet learned
of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have weak

of pneumonia, should keep the remedy
