South Dakota Surplus.

The small grain crop of the state is
practically harvested and altogether ii
is the best crop ever raised, says the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader. Best of all il
is practically all profit to the farmer
AS agriculture is carried on in South
Dakato now, the average farmer has a
bunch of cattle, some hogs, some sheep
some milch cows, some fowls. These
yield enough annually to support his
family and pay his entire running ex.
penses. What he receives from his
grain crop is surplus. This year the
surplus then will, for the various kinds
of grain, reach in value fully $50,000,000
to $75, ,0000 900, or on the average of $500
per family for the entire population. II
there another country which can show
such returns?

ALASKA GOLD OUTPUT.

According to the estimates made by
w. w. Weare, of the Alaska Transport
alton and Trading company, says a
Chicago special of the 18th inst, $l5,
100000 in gold dust has already been
brought down from Alaska this season
and $S,0O0,00O more is in storage, says
Weare, with the agency of his firm al
Dawson City. There ia much more
gold in the country that will also be
brought out We would not be
surprised if the total value oI
Alaska gold which reaches the United
States does not touch $55,000,000 before
the close of navigation.

TIE HOLY TERROR.

A strike has been made in the Holy
Terror mine within the last few days
that makes everybody interested in it
feel elated. And not only those parti-
cularly interested, but everybody in the
Southern Hills. The new strike was en-
countered on the 600.foot leyel of the
mine and was the original Holy Terror
ledge. This shows of course that the
Holy Terror mine is practically inex-
haustible-it is gold from the grass
roots" down and truly phenomenal

ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
To Anyone Afflicted with Piles.

The Pyramid Pile Cure, the new,
painless remedy which has been SO re-
markedly successful in curing every
J form of piles and rectal diseases, has
recently been placed on sale at drug
gists and it is safe to say that when
its extraordinary merit becomes fully
known, there will be no such thing as
surgical operations for the cure of this
obstinate and common trouble.
Mrs. M. c. Hinkly, OF COL Mississippi
ST., indianapolis, Ind, says: | had
been terrible sufferer from piles for
10 years and no remedies benefited
me, until | saw an advertisement of
the Pyramid Pile Cure; got g. pack
age, also a package of Pyramid Pills,
and used both according to directions.
| was astonished at the immediate re-
lief obtained and now | honestly be-
lieve the Pyramid to be the only GER
tain cure for piles.
That you may realize how bad was,
| will say that l was confined to my
bed and went before the college ply
sicians here who said my case was a
new one to them and wanted seven or
eight hundred dollars to undertake a
cure; the great pain had brought on
rupture, and l knew an operation
would be death to me on account OF
blood poisoning. Nearly everyone
here knows of my terrible suffering
from piles and / feel that I cannot
praise the Pyramid Pile Cure enough,
and the Pyramid Pills also. My hus-
band will join me in highly recon-
mending the Pyramid, my daughter
was cured by one box only. For sew
eral years I weighed but about 80
pounds, now l weigh $50 and feel in
perfect health.
This seems to be the universal testi-
mony of every sufferer from piles who
have ever tried the Pyramid; it is the
safest, most painless pile cure yet dis
covered; contains no opiate, morphine,
cocaine or any poisonous ingredient
whatever, has a soothing, healing eff
feet from the first application, and the
moderate price places it within the
reach of everyone needing treatment.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents and $1.00 pei
package, and the Pyramid Pills at %
cents per box.
Send to Pyramid Co., Marshall,
Mich, for free book on cause and cure
of piles.

Leaves Her Company Here at the In
vitatiOn of Her Manager Will Lay
OF a Week in Wheeling and Reer-
game.

For reason which was not satisfac-
tory to Manager Aubrey Mittenthal,
Agnes Herndon failed to appear at the
Grand Opera House for Thursday
nights performance. 1t was announc
ed that she was i'll, but the company
did not know that she would not appear
until after eight O'Clock. Her absence
necessitated g change Of bill, and The
Jealous Mrs. Jones" was substituted for
Wife for Wife" The fair star was pen
itent on the following day, but Man
ager Mittenthal pointed out the fact
that she had disappointed audiences on
two previous occasions, and informed
her that her contract was null and
void She remained at the Mcclure
until yesterday, when she left with
her husband, Mr.. Andruss, who is also
her leading man.
Meanwhile the company filed the en-
gagement, presenting THE Jealous
Mrs. JONES'" until last night, when
wife for Wife, thrilling melodrama
with a pistol and knife duel as the
piece de resistance, was produced The
company was short in heavy leads, and
the musical director was pressed into
service He never made any preten-
tons to histrionic ability, and his dra-
matte action was a series of statuesque
poses. He was a fercely villianOus
william, and in the realistic knife duel
he fairly set the gallery on fire, espec-
tally when he permitted his opponent
to puncture his immaculate shirt front
and render him hors du combat. His
second and timekeeDer was Manager
Mittenthal who was the very embodi-
ment OF grace. The only line he spoke
it does not appear in the manuscript
Of the play-was fall back this way,
soto voice, as he pushed tree out OF
the way. The duel had been rehearsed
only fifteen minutes, between supper
and the rise of the curtain.
The members of the cast were given
their parts On Friday, and their work
under the circumstances was really eX-
cellent. Miss Josephine Foy, who was
Agnes Herndon's understudy, proved
herself a very capable emotional act
ress. AS for Miss Boyer, and Messrs.
Morley and Karlyle, they possess YER
satile talent. and their performances
were very satisfactory. The remand
er of the cast did well.
Mittenthal Bros have decided to re-
organize the company under the name
of Aubreys Dramatic Company. They
have already secured five new plays,
and will retain several in their present
repertoire. They have engaged, in ad-
dition to the present company, Lillian
Buckingham, last season with Oliver
Doud Byron; Flora Hastings, soub-
rette, now with "McSorley's Twins"
and Mr.. Edward Hamilton of New
York leading man. The cSening week
in Canton has been cancelled, and the
company will rehearse here, opening in
Toledo during the week of December
18th.

I129 Market street.
The Indian who has stood for years
in front of No. 1929 Market street has
been painted white. Yesterday the
figure attracted much attention. The
embarrassing process was done under
the direction of viii Kuhn, who will
tomorrow open up a model tonsorial
parlor at that number. A Register
reporter visited the establishment last
night and was surprised at the lavish
scale upon which it is being fitted up.
Mr.. Kuhn recently made trip to the
East, visiting all the leading tonsorial
parlors, and he has embodied all the
up-to-date ideas in his new establish
ment.
The floor is covered with inlaid lin
oleum, the walls and ceiling with ar
tistic wall paper decorations The
furniture is all of light oak, and there
are large number of handsome bev-
eled French plate mirrors. The leath-
er covered hydraulic chairs are Of the
latest and most expensive pattern.
Handsome portieres will divide the
front and rear rooms. The rear room
will be deliberately furnished as a wait
ing parlor for gentlemen.
The cigar and news departments are
in keeping with the remainder of the
establishment A bcotblack will be
in attendance. Mr. Kuhn has secured
the services of Mr.. A. G. Haight, of
New York, who will clean and polish
the hats of his customers free Of
charge. 1t is the handsomest tonsor-
ial establishment in the State, and
will certainly become the most popu-
lar.

BRIDGEPORT.

An owl was captured yesterday at
ternoon by some news boys on the
steel bridge. 1t had evidently blown
in from somewhere out in the country
and was roosting on the overhead work
on the bridge, when one of the boys
disturbed his pleasant slumbers by
knocking him down with stone.
A boy about fourteen years old, who
claims he is an orphan, from Green
vile, Tenn, arrived in town several
days ago. Friday the people with
whom he has been staying made COM
plant that he was insolent and that
he could not stay with them longer.
His case was Investigated and it was
found that such was not the case. He
was taken in by kind hearted citizen
who resides out the pike.

Nothing was said in the message to
Detective Shorts about the contents OF
the valise, but when he opened it it
I, was found to contain a full supply of
| green goods" probably the best
| equipment OF the kind ever seen in
| this city. In the valise were two tin
| boxes, one with a handle painted yell
! 10y and the handle of the other box
| colored red. This was the only differ
ence in the two boxes except the one
with the red handle was locked and
the other open. In the first box was
nothing but scraps of paper and
number of railway guides. In the 9TH
er box were several thousand dollars
of Confederate money, in denomina-
lions from twenty to five hundred dol
lars. The Confederate bills were in
geniously placed on the outside Of
packages padded with blank papers.

suspecting victim the packages might
look like big rolls of genuine bank
notes.
Inside the same box also were two
blank gold bonds, one for $500 and I'M
signed, and another for $1,000, issued
to the American Atlantic Cable Tele-
graph Company. There were also two
deeds on Mark Hanna the big Repub-
lican boss. one for $3.50 from one
named Henry Grow, and the other for
81 500, decided from James Fish to M.
Hanna. The tin boxes were placed in
different sides of the valise so that
they could be conveniently changed
when the property was to be transfer
red by the purchaser, who, thinking he
was getting the box with the bank
notes and mortgages, was handed the
box with scrap paper and railway
guides.
The valise, with its contents, was
kept yesterday at Squire Cummings
office, and will be sent back to Cumber-
land, where the men will probably be
taken for hearing. Mr.. Dovener will
be a witness against them.

"CuRA,S VOW"

"Cuba's Vow," which is the attrac-
ton booked at the Grand Opera House
for the last half of this week is not an
idle plea to a maudlin sentiment. 1t
appeals to the finer susceptibilities of
the human temperament and to such
owes it's great success as the most pop
ular melodrama Of the day. We have
all felt sympathy for the cause of the
warning Cubans. We have all rejoic-
ed in the accomplishments of the Am
erican forces on land and sea. We
have all protested against the barbara
ties nracticed under Spanish rule. Such
exactly are the reasons which have
brought enthusiastic audiences to their
feet during the presentation of the play
in all parts of the country.
