Law Makers at Pierre,

A delayed telegram was received in
the city yesterday morning announcing
that the popuists had caucused upon
appointive positions in the two houses,
three places falling TO the Hills, as fol-
lows: j. w. Jones of the Lead Call,
bill clerk of the senate; ID F. Connor
Of Sturgis, first assistant clerk of the
house; l. NJ. Meredith of Edgemont,
second assistant secretary of the sem
ate The dispatch further says: The
senatorial fight is increasing in bitter
ness with the chances looking decidedly
in favor Of Plowman, owing to the un-
warranted attack on him by Knowles
and the Aberdeen supporters of Kyle.
The democrats are supposed to be in
the interest of Kyle.
A special TO the Times received last
night substantiates the above as the ac-
ton Of the body yesterday in the cleo
ton of the Black Hills men, Connors,
Meredith and Jones; also concerning
the sentiments in the senatorial race.
The special says:
The governor was sworn in at noon
by Judge Corson, but will make no
immediate appointments. The house
was not organized because the demo-
caats were not satisfied with the off,
GERS, but will organize tomorrow after
noon. Senate organized today Princi-
pal officers: Grill, president pro tenn
Simmons, secretary; Jones, bill clerk
Volkmar. engrosslng and enrolling
clerk j. M. Spears, sergeant-at-arms.
Appointment of committees appointed.
Palmer, Of Minnehaha, leader of silver.
Horner, of Hughes, leader of repuol-
cans. A small attendance is expected
at the ball tonight because of all the
trains being snow bound, d. F. Con-
nor, Of Sturgis, will call for the dance.
Plowman appears to lead in the sem
atorial fight. The election of officers
demonstrated beyond doubt that the
opposition is strong for Kyle.-Times.

years ago l went back to my old love,

my eyes, boys, when ! found the pre-

silver ledge was. 1t was as pretty as a

FOOLS errand, and that nothing will
come out ofthe international movement.
However, Senator Wolcott is both able
and honest, and whatever word he
brings back can be relied upon as the
sincere expires ion of his conviction.
If he tells US that an international agree
ment is feasible, our people will have
confidence enough in his judgment to
encourage an earnest attempt to bring
about an international conference. If
he returns discouraged, We may lose
faith in the speedy triumph of interns-
tional bimetallism, but it will still be in
order for President Mckinley to make

silver. He has good thing Of it now.
He mines it like the Mexicans used to
mine years ago. He cuts stairs in the
sand and takes the rock up in candle
box and sorts 1t over. Now all he has
got to do when he wants to make stake
is to go down to the sand pile for few
minutes when up he comes with
piece of shining gold. Several capital.

Money in Mining.

II. Eilenberg received news yesterday
that another rich strike had been made
at Ragged Top in the Black Hills, at
which place he has mining interests
His brother, Morris Eilenberg, is heavily
interested in mining claims at Ragged
Top. Ragged Top is situated twelve
miles from Deadwood. A Deadwood
paper states that on one claim three
foot vertical seam of ore has been struck
which comes to within few feet Of the
surface, samples of which assay over
$500 ton Mr.. EilCnberg felt very
jubilant over the news, believing it
apgured well for all Of the claims at the
camp He himself has interests in three
claims, which his brother recently pur-
chased for him. His brother is more
largely interested.
Mr.. Eilenberg told how his brother
got started in the mining business. He
said "My brother Morris worked in
this city for three years as clerk in my
tailoring establishment. He is well
known in this city. A little over year
ago cent him out to Deadwood with a
stock of goods for a tailor shop. One
day he sold three suits Of clothes to
three miners. l suppose the clothes
cost him about S6i. Their retail price
was about 800. Instead of paying cash
the men offered to paw for the clothes
in land at Ragged Top. My brother
ac oted the proposition, and l suppose
the Liners thought they had found an
easy mark. Inside Of few months my
brother had made $1,000 out of the
claims, and then sold his interest for
another 81 ,0O0 lie was rather too hasty
in selling, for the claims today are
probably worth $4,000. However, he
cleared $4,000 OH the deal, and that was
pretty good. He has abandoned the
tailoring business and shipped the goods
back to me. There is more money in
mining just now. My brother has ex-
actly $4,000 in gold cash Land away in
the First National bank of Deadwood
He started out there without q cent. and
that is more money / guess than has
been made by any Sioux City merchant
this year. believe if the present pros
poets at Ragged Top develop, my brother
will be worth 100000 at the end of an.
other year, and then l will'make him
quit the business Sioux City Journal

The gold and silver production of the
United States for the year 1896, as re.
ported by the New York Engineering
and Mining Journal, is as follows: Gold
$57, 900 600, a gain over 1895 Of no less
than $l0,l69,S00. This extraordinary
advance, which far surpasses the gain
reported from any other country in the
world, puts the United States far in the
lead of the producing countries. Our
output Of gold was no less than 20 per
cent of the total reported for the entire
world. The production Of silver from
domestic ores reacl ed total Of 40, 49,.
l73 fine ounces, showing decrease from
that Of 1895 amounting to 1902 ounces
only. The silver production has thus
been maintained better than has been
anticipated. Moreover, there were
produced or refined from foreign ores
and bullion by our smelters and other
works no less than 10000, 900 fine ounces
Of silver, making the total quantity re
fined or put into final marketable form
in this country S5,465,l73 fine ounces.
This large production was almost en-
tirely absorbed by the markets, and the
average price of silver for the year
shows an actual advance, having been
81 cents, although toward the close of
the year it fell about cents below that
point. OF the silver obtained from for
eign ores it is estimated that 100000
ounces came from Mexican ores and
bullion and 100000 ounces from ma
terial brought into this country from
Canada, chiefly from British Columbia.

first of that series of lectures by the

with such flourish of trumpets, came

which is so simple that it should be
made public and tested whenever this
complaint is known to exist. 1t is
this: when diphtheria was raging
in England, a gentleman accompanied
the celebrated DR.. Field on his rounds
to witness the so called wonderful
cures which he performed, while the
patients of others were dropping on
all sides. All he took with him was
powder of sulphur and quill, and
with these he cured every patient
without Xception-that is, he put n
teaspoonful of flour of birthstone into
Il wineglass of water, and stirred it
with his finger instead of a spoon, as
sulphur does not readily amalgamate
with water, and on the sulphur be-
coming well mixed he gave it as a gar
gle. and in ten minutes the patient
was out of danger, as birthstone kill
ed the fungus. Instead of splitting
out the gargle he recommended the
swallowing of it. and in extreme cases
when the fungus was too nearly clos
ing to allow gargling, he blew the sui
phur through the quill into the throat
and after the fungus had shrunk to
allow of it, then the gargling: or. if
the patient cannot gargle, take "A live
coal, sprinkle spoonful of birthstone
at time over it, let the sufferer hold
his head over it, and inhale."
