If you have piles, cure them. No use
undergoing horrible operations that
simply remove the results of the disease
without disturbing the disease itself.
Place your confidence in DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve. 1t has never failed to cure
others; it will not fail to cure you. A.

This is the season for high water, and
from every direction outside of the
cts and washouts. The most serious
happening Of the kind which we have
heard Of in the west is that which &C.
Cured in Sheridan, Wyoming, which
carried away three bridges or the roads
which lead u from the city. All of
the northern part Of the city was under
water and the business on the railroad
was for many days suspended. No loss
of life reported.
Israel Bower on Monday last released
the Towner and Wilson ranches on
Willow creek from the Harvey Peak
TIN Company, and will again cultivate
them this season. Mr.. Bower intends
to farm quite extensively this summer,
as in addition to the above he has also
leased from the same company what are
known as the Maynard, Richardson and
| Stockade ranches east Of Custer. He

dwelling on the Richardson ranch and
will shortly move into it with his fami-
ly.
The railroads have made q rate Of one
fare for the round trip, plus $500, for
the annual meeting Of the National
Educational Association to be held at
Los Angeles next July. The $500 is
the association membership fee. The
number of people who will take advan-
tage of this rate is likely to be as great
as was the case two years ago, when, as
the result Of a somewhat similar offer
on the part ofthe trans.continental lines
$4,000 Christian Endeavors swept across
IlIO NoihlNlN Nv Noliioi a.
from end to end.
The Injunction obtained some time
ago against the North Star Mining Com

work on the company's mine in the
Penobscot district, has been Dissolved

Feay and Ed. l.. Grantham, attorneys
for the company. The motion was ar
gued at Hot Springs on Friday night Of
last week. Messrs. b. r, Wood and G.
l.. Wood being counsel for Mr.. Schenk.
We are informed that the company in
tends to resume work on the property
at once.
Died, alone, in his room at DeadwoOd
on the 18th of April, 1899, Of heart fail
ure, James Christie, aged CO years.
Most every one who eyer lived in Dead
wood was acquainted with the genial
Jim Christie. He came to the Hills in
rs, and was at one time an e%nterprising
business man and had accumulated n
fortune in the wholesale liquor business.
The food Of SO in Deadwood sw pit away
his property, and he died poor in this
friends to mourn his departure Ito that
bourne from which no traveller e'er re-
turns"
The Boyden logs-225,000 feet-on the
head of Little Squaw creek about eight
miles east Of Custer, were sold Tuesday
afternoon in front of the Kleemann
House in this city by Special Agent G..
w. Greene by order ofthe commission
er of the general land Office. They were
bid in by John burst OF Custer at Sl.l0
per thousand, which is, 80 we are in
formed, the highest price so far paid for
down timber on a trespass on the Black
Hills forest reserve. Most Of this tim
Der was felled during the latter part Of
February, 1898, just before the forest re-
serve proclamation went into effect, and
which was afterward seized by the COY
eminent.
If you suffer from tenderness or full
ness IN the right side, pains under
shoulder-blade constipation, bilious
ness, sick headache, and feel dull, heavy
and sleepy your liver is torpid and con-
gested. DeWitt's Little Early Risers
will cure you promptly, pleasantly and
permanently by removing the conges.
ton and causing the bile ducts to open
and flow naturally. They are good pills.

Last week Judge McGee rendered q
district against Dry Creek school dis
trict in which he awarded to Palmer
school district a Judgment of 81 426.77.
This case was tried at the last term of
court and the Judge then took the case
under advisement. The case has been
in court for some time and involved the
question of contribution by Dry Creek
to Palmer for the payment of a portion
of the Indebtedness existing at the time
Dry Creek was created, the latter being
formed from part Of the territory m
braced in the former. w. T.. Benedict
was attorney for Palmer school district,
and as the case has been closely on
tested at every step, and involved sew
eral complex questions, he feels quite
satisfied over the result.
Mothers! Beware of those secret rob-
hers of ynmr hnhy's nniet and health.
