ing information in regard to the rapid
increase In sheep raising throughout the
state. At this season OF the year he is
travelling over the state almost con
st&ntly.
Those who usually have 100 sheep"
said he, Il fri this year have 600 or
900. and those who have generally had
300 head. this ear are marketing the
fleece of from 700 to 500. OF course. the
price of wool at the present time is un-
usually low, but sheep growers havs
learned wisdom I'm the business and that
does not worry them. Instead OF de-
pending on the growth of wool as the
first consideration. they are. by careful
attention to the breeding Of their hocks,
raising a superior animal for the mar
ket. which more than makes up the diff
ference in the wool prices. l believe
South Dakota is going to become one OF
the great sheep and wool producing

Carnival week at Deadwco3 will long
be remembered in the Black Kills cities
ana mining camps as the greatest event
In the history of that section. 1t has
been the means of uniting the mining
men OF the various districts and the
women OF h cities, and il has given
to the outside world a truer conception
OF the great wealth of mineral that lies
untouched. The carnival was first con-
ceived by Capt. Seth Bullock OF Dead
wood. and ii was planned and carried
10 a successful issue by f. A. Hornbcr-
ger, a pioneer Of 1876. When the project
was first announced, six months ago, it
vas ridiculed, but later 1t became a re-
ality. There were ITS distinct exhibits
OF minerals in the palace. representing
every known mining district in the
Black Hills. The women OF Deadwood.
Spearfish and Rapid City displayed
heir works of art in portions of the pal
ace.
The decorations and the programmes
OF each day were equal to anything CIV
en- by a city ten times the size OF Dead
wood. Tho Burlington trains on Che
Fourth. carried 5000 passengers, includ-
ing those from Lead, over the Dead
wood Central. The Elkhorn brought
into the city, from Bald Mountain and
on the regular passenger train, about
5000. These were nearly all housed In
Deadwood for the night.
The mining association that has been
organized as a result of the carnival,
has been needed in the Hills for years.
1t is proposed to take the exhibit OF
ores and minerals now displayed at the
palace. 10 Denver. the first week in Oc-
tober, for the Carnival of the Noun
tain and Plain" The sixty or more
Denver business men, who were here
during the carnival, did much to stir up
the home people. 1t is difficult to tell
where this enthusiasm will end. There
are a good many rich mining mel in
the Hills, who are joining this new
mining association, and from their &C.
ton 1t would seem they mean to place
the Black Hills in the front rank.
The financial part of the carnival has
been literally taken care of, and all la
bilities have been paid. with a surplus
In the treasury.
The carnival passed off without acct
dent of any kind, and the management
has received many compliments. 1t is
estimated that $1,000 people came TO the
city during the five days OF the carni-

ONLY WOMAN PRISONER.
Governor Herricd Grants Her n Full
Pardon.

Gov. Herried, while in Sioux Falls re-
Gently, ~pardoned from the Sioux Falls
penitentiary Mrs. Belle Halstead and
Albert Hawlcy, and the famous prison
is now without a single woman Inmate.
Mrs. Halstead was sentenced by Judge
Bennett of the WATERFOWL circuit. to
serve a term for a statutory ~offense.
The circumstances which led to her
conviction were such hat even her
husband forgave her. Her pardon is
largely due to the efforts of Mrs. w. r..
Kidd Of Aberdeen. who recently visited
the ~penitentiary and conversed with
Mrs Halstead. who will now return to
her homo.
The other recipient of a pardon was
serving a term of ten years for rob-
berry. He was sent TO the penitentiary
from Brown county. There were ex-
tenuating circumstances surrounding
the commission of the crime, and Haw-
ley's excellent behavior since being in
generated also had great weight in in
~fuencing the governor to grant him a
pardon.
