Congressman Martin Ill.

1t is reported that Congressman. elect
+. w. Martin is critically i'll at his home in
Deadwo ood with pneumonia, which was
contracted while on hunting trip near
Nahant. Mr.. Martin and w. G.. Rice
left Deadwood last week for deer hunt.
The two got track of a deer, which they
followed some distance. They finally
separated, agreeing that three rifle shots
in quick succession would mean signal
for help. Mr. Martin finally got n
chance to shoot at the deer. In walking
he had become overheated, and as soon
as he had shot he was overcome with
chills and fell to the ground with pains
in different parts of the body. He
managed to fire three shots from his
rifle, which attracted the attention OF
his companion, Rice, who hurried to his
side. Mr.. Martin wasitaken to a ranch
as quickly as possible and from there to
his home in Deadwood.
According to the Pioneer Times of the
4th there has as yet been no perceptible
change in Mr.. Martins condition. That
paper says he had severe attack oi
pneumonia and is very sick man
though conditions are all in his favor
He has good constitution, no surplus
flesh to impede the free action of the
lungs and is fortunate in having physi
| clan who has been especially efficient In
treating pneumonia. No one is allowed
to see the patient except the physician
the nurse and Mrs. Martin.

August Flowers.

1T is surprising fact" says Prof
Houton, 18th In my travels In all parts
of the world, for the last ten years ]
have met more people having used
Green's August Flower than any remedy
for dyspepsia, deranged liver and stom
ach, and for constipation. l fnd for
tourists and salesmen, or for person
filling Office positions, where headaches
and bad feelings from irregular habits
exists, that Green's August Flower is a
grand remedy. 1t does not iDjure the

lent for sour stomachs and indigestion.

n. 8. Neal Dead.

Word reached town the latter part of
last week of the death at his home near
Spokane of N. S. Neal. one of the oldest
residents of the southern Hills. Mr..
Neal was about seventy years of age,
and leaves wife to whom he was mar
ried only few years ago. What for
mer family relations Mr.. Neal may have
had is unknown here, and whether he
has any children is also unknown. Four
years ago he was elected county COM
missioner from this (the secondD dis
trict but resigned before the expiration
of his term of Office, serving on the
board two years. Mr.. Neal has a his.
tory which is associated more or less
with the early days of frontier life in
the southern Black Hills, which We
give below, taken from the Rapid City
Journal of recent date;
1.-The death of Mr.. Neal recalls to some
the celebrated robbery on Lame Johnny,
when Frank Abbott had his watch
stolen, and the subsequent hanging of a
highwayman, which gave to particu.
lar place between French and Beaver
creeks the peculiar name of Lame
Johnny, although it had before borne
the name of Whiskey creek. Mr.. Neal
was camped near the place at the time
the robbery was committed, and he was
one of the principal eye witnesses to the
deed. The highwayman was not &C.
corded trial before any other court
than Judge Lynch's. as Mr.. Meals testi-
mony was deemed conclusive and the
slow process of law did not meet with
the approval of some who conside red a
summary dealing out of justice more
suited 10 the needs Of the case"

Planning for the Future.

Under date of January /. Huron
dispatch says: The meeting called
here to effect an organization for the
employ ment of the referendum was not
largely attended from the outside. Sena-
tor l.. j. Martin of Miner county, ex-
Senator Morgan Of McCook, Warden
John A. Bowler and Secretary Ayers
being among the most prominent ones
present. A permanent organization, to
be known as the South Dakota Direct
Legislation League, was made, the pur-
pose being to affiliate with the National
Direct Legislation league, of which Elt-
weed Pomeroy Of New Jersey is the
president and leading spirit. w. +.
Kidd, the Aberdeen socialist, and edi.
tor of the Dakota Ruralist, was made
president of the South Dakota league,
Thomas II. Ayers, secretary, and Maris
Taylor, treasurer. An executive COM
mittee Of nine, one at large. and one
from each judicial circuit, is to be ap-
pointed by the president, who is also
authorized to select local organizers in
every county. The purpose is to make
the organization state wide and to gear
the necessary machinery to put the
referendum into motion if a sufficiently
grave emergency arises, but the spirit of
the uprising was against either the in
itiative or referendum on trivial or par
tisan questions. 1t Is generally believ-
ed that tie republicans may think
themselves strong enough to resubmit
the referendum and fusionist leaders
do not conceal their hope that this may
be done. They declare that IL such a
thing should be done the real merits Of
direct legislation would be so disclosed
that the people would readopt it with
an overwhelmingly majority. 1t would
make South Dakota a national battle
ground again two years hence on local
question which would consolidate all
the elements hostile to the republican
state machine into one harmonious
body. Direct legislation adhereEts all
over the land would send money, speak.
ers and literature into the state to fight
for the referendum and the struggle
would make it possible to defeat the
republican state and legislative tickets.
Such is the hope of the fusionists. At
all eyents they are organiziEg for active
propaganda work in the interest of the
cause Of direct legislation In South Da-
kota with the hope that the movement
may be made great national issue.

Weather Predictions.

According to Hicks, in his forecasts
for the remainder of January, reaction
ary disturbance will appear on and about
the 7th to OH, causing change to warm
er with falling barometer and more rain
and snow. These perturbations will
eliminate on and touching the 9th.
Change to high barometer and much
colder will wind up the reactionary
storms. On and about the 18th look for
a rapid fall of the barometer In all wes
tern sections, followed by rising temper
ature and more storms Of rain, vino
and snow from the 18th to the l4th.
The indications are that cold wave OF
wide extent and marked severity will
bring up the rear of the storms from
about the 18th to the l4th, causing a
general spell of very cold weather up to
the reactionary changes due about the
18th to the Goth. On these dates there
will be return to a falling barometer,
rising temperature and more storms OF
rain, wind and snow. Another sudden
and sharp cold wave will follow these
storms, spreading east and south imme-
diately after the new moon on the Goth.
A marked fall of the barometer and
change to warmer will set in about the
23rd. and snow, sleet and blizzards will
visit central and northern sections from
about the 23rd to the Goth. Artic cur
rents will how down to meet the tropi-
cal conditions southwark. drawing a

From Huron comes the report that
the proposition of the Pierre people to
commence state capitol building by
erecting a fireproof state library as a
starter, has caused considerable com
ment. 1t is proposed to erect n $4,000
building for library and supreme court
room, and thus lay the foundation for
a perm lnent capitol, with capitol COM
mission and all the other machinery it
has been customary to employ in such
enterprises. This movement will prob.
ably fall, as Huron will certainly fight
it to the bitter end. Mitchell also has
hopes of ultimately becoming the seat
of government if the capital can ever
be put on wheels again. There is o
feeling against Pierre all oyer the state
which would probably come boiling to
the surface ifan attempt were made to
permanently fix the capitol location by
the erection of expensive state build

and expects TO make some material i'm
provements to its system of operations.
Among other things, it is going to en-
large the concentrating plant at the Spo

put it in good working shape. AS soon
as the Spokane has been started
off again in good shape the company
will turn Its attention to the gold prop

THE MINERAL OUTPUT.


According to an estimate of the di-
rector of the mint at Washington based
on the figures for the past ten or eleven
months, so far as they have been obtain
ed, the gold output of the United States
for the calender year 1000 will be $S2,-
100000 as compared with 100000
for 1899, and $64 100000 for 1898. The
United States stands second among the
gold producing countries this year,
Australia, being the only region which
Is ahead Of us, and that locality is only
81 100000 in the advance for 1900.
The United States was II ird in 1909,
South Africa as we'll as Australia, being
ahead of us then, but the war has practi-
cally cut off the whole African gold
supply this year. The Unitel States is
rapidly regaining the lead 1t had a few
years ago. 1fthe estimate of the direct.
or Of the mint turns out to be correct We
will be in advance in 1901, with 1000
600 of gold output. as compared with
$SS, ,000,0 900 for Australia and seventh
FIVE millions for Africa. The
latter figures, of course, are based
on the assumption that the damage o
the war period in that locality will bt
repaired at once and that mining viii
