The Latest News From the State
Capital Prepared Specially
for This Paper.
LOOKS GOOD FOR KYLE
But the Senatorship is Still an
Uusolved Puzzle.-The Latest
From Pierre.
Special correspondence to The stockman.

Special correspondence to The stockman.
Pierre, S. D., Jan. l9.-The plan
adopted by Gov. Lee to make State
Treasurer Kirk Phillips produce the
states cash has been the chief topic
here during the past week. The
governor is determined that there
shall be no opportunity for a repe-
tition of the Taylor affair. Phillips
has from the first expressed his abil-
I ity aud en- tire willingness to produce
South Dakota s funds, but it has
been a hard matter to agree on how
the funds should be gotten together
and exhibited. The discussions
have been long and IN cases heated
as to the proper method to be en-
ployed in the matter, as Phillips did
not like the idea of being held re
sponsible for the money while it was
being transported around over the
state. Phillips seems ready to show
the cold cash on any one of the fol
lowing propositions Cd That he
would pay the expense Of man ap-
pointed by the governor to go to
the various banks and count the
cash found there to the credit Of the
state. (2) He would go with the
committee, or such of them who
might desire to make an examina-
ton, draw the cash out of the banks
and turn it over to them and allow
them to count it. (3) He would
bring all the money to Pierre, pro-
vided the state would pay the ex-
penses and relieve him of the re-
sponsibility while the money is in
transit and while it is at Pierre.
Numerous bills have been intro
duced but all, including the railroad
measure, are hung up until the state
treasurer produces the states cold
cash.
Otto Anderson of Pennington
comfy is the father of bill to pre-
vent the sale of adulterated food, or
if foods are adulterated they must
be so labeled.
Senator Joe Buck Of Pennington
has been heard from in the shape Of
a bill relating to assessments and
taxation.
The senatorial and capital fights
go merrily on. Picker is the choice
of the republicans, while as your
correspondent sees it, Plowman,
! Kyle and Loucks are neck and neck
as the silver aspirants. Plowman
is by no means out of the race at
this writing and the Black Hills
may yet have the next United States
senator. Two caucuses were held
last night and while the result does
look favorable to Plow1nan On the
surface, yet there are influences at
work which may swing the vote tc

Archie Pinkerton Says He Stole
Davis Cattle-A Plea
of Guilty.
Two Men Mixed Up in the Affair
But Pinkerton Captured Alone.
Full Particulars.

Cattle stealing does not appear
to be ! very lucrative business in
the Black Hills as is evidenced by
the retribution which has so swiftly
oyertaken one of the men who offiici-
ated in the theft of Plummer Davis
cattle about two weeks ago
AS the STocKMAN stated at the
time the total number of cattle stol-
Ell was II head, several Of which
belonged to Mr. Davis. The stock
was sold to the butchers at Lead
City and the thieves left town in a
hurry. Ou Thursday evening last
Sheriff Ingersol brought Archie
Pinkerton to Rapid City, charged
with stealing the cattle. Pinkerton
who is well known in this section of
the Hills, was captured over near
I3eulah, Wyoming, on Wednesday
by Cattle Inspector Long, George
Northam of Lead City and the sheriff
of Crook comfy, Wyoming. He was
brougt to Deadwood and there de-
livered into the custody Of ou
worthy sheriff, John I. Ingersol.
On Friday morning Pinkerton
was arraigned before Justice w. Fl.
Boyd and pleaded guilty as charged.
He stated that one other person was
implicated IN the theft of the stock,
but at this time THE STocKMAN is
not in position to publish the name
of the other principal. Pinkerton
claims that he knows nothing about
the present address OF his partner
in the affair. However, the wife Of
the other individurl is in Lead City
and the mails are being closely
watched to get some clue as to his
whereabouts, SO it is probably only
a question of time until he will be
placed in custody, ALSO
Pinkerton has made his home in
the southern Hills for several years
and is quite well known. He was
bound over to the next term of
court, at which time he will be
| sentenced.

Mystic on the day the Dusty and

Jack Hale, the big sheepman, says
that few people realize the violence
of the big storm on Thanksgiving
day. His two men, VIM. Hunter
and Jerry Melinn, were frozen to
death right in bunch of timber
from which cattle outfits have been
getting poles or logs, and he cannot
yet imagine how anybody could die
of cold there, under ordinary condi-
tions. The real storm belt was only
about forty miles wide, but nothing
could withstand it. Cattle and
horses were actually frozen to death
while on the move, and many ami
mails had their legs frozen stiff. A
terrific electric disturbance accom-
panied the storm, and that made it
much worse.

Robbed of over 100000 by FrRudu.
ulent Creek Nation warrants.
washington, Oct 26.-Over 800, 900 of
alleged fraudulent warrants on the
United States treasury on the account
Of the Creek Indian nation, in Indian
Territory, have been discovered by gov
ernment authorities. The alleged fraud
was perpetrated in connection with the
payment Of the Creek Indian nation
debts and only the barest details have
reached here. Congress, by a recent
enactment, authorized the liquidation
Of Indebtedness of the Creeks, amount
ing to 1898 900, incurred by the Indians
for various purposes. The amount ap-
propriated was to be paid out of the
United States treasury and deducted
from the large funds Of that tribe now
in the treasury for their benefit. The
work Of paying off was begun months
ago, but when the last warrants were
presented 1t was found that the amount
paid, instead of 1888, 900, as authorized,
had reached 1882 900. Special Agents
w. II. Zeverly and Ross have discov-
cred that over 100000 worth of the war
rants were fraudulent. Supplementing
this is the fact that one of those impli-
Gated made confession yesterday. The
/ matter promises to prove a great SEN
sation in the territory. 1t Is said an
| old chief Of the Creeks and an ofiicia
/ in the employ of that tribe are among
/ those involved in the affair.

AlIrrLE suFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered Wlth
Sorofulous Humors - How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofulq on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
Il appeared in the form Of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually TO keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out Of his
blood and it has never since returned"

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for any
season, but perhaps more generally needed in
the spring, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and tho need Of tonic and altera-

Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden at
Darmstadt, after the latter had inti-
mated to their Russian majesties a de-

jesty had already made arrangements
covering every day until his departure

majesty would be unable to receive
them. Many of the German news
papers regard the occurrence as an in
suit to the whole nation, as the Grand
