The Poultry Yard.

Gravel or coarse sand is as much
needed as ordinary food.
All chickens want for health, growth
and good conditions is plain, nutritious
food.
I Even when the fowls have an unlim.
tied range it isa good plan to feed
them every evening.
One OF the first things to learn about
poultry is that they must be kept clean
Q I'D free from verfnin.
Peafowls are handsome and subsi-t
with the least csre OF, any kind Of
fowls. They are prolific layers and .
good protection against hawks.
Raw bone contains every part OF an
egg-white, yolk and shell. Therefore
It should be kept constantly before lay
Ing hens in the granulated form.
One OF the best ways OF removing lice
from fowls Is to make them do 1t them
sslves by having lot Of dry earth
where they can dust themselves when
ever they feel like It.
The comb is always An index TO the
condition of the bird. When the comb
is white or very pale or very black,
something is wrong. A healthy fowl
shows q bright scarlet color In the
comb. X.

Because DR.. Pierce's offer is free it il
not be classed with those offers of ufr4e
medical advile" made by men or women
who have neither the legal nor the pro-
fessional right to practice medicine. If
they dared to put out their signs with
the title Doctor upon them, the law would
instantly deal with them. They don't
dare to do this, and yet, though without
medical training, medical knowledge or
medical experience, they cunningly offer
ufree medical advice" The law can't
touch that claim because anyone can
give free advice on any subject, but q
woman knows that the advice of her
laundress is perfectly worthless as to
the cutting and fitting of her gown.
In consulting with DIR. Pierce, women
not only consult with a real doctor, but
one who is a specialist in the treatment
and cure of diseases peculiar to women,
and who, assisted by his staff of nearly Z
score of physicians, has in q little more
than thirty years treated and cured hun.

The Agony Endured by
Nervous Women.

rMy nerves are all unstrung" is the
expressive way in which a woman is
apt to describe condition of extreme
nervousness. The hgurative expression

pathetically suggests the grand harp of

so unstrug that it gives out nothing but
jarring discords. Nervous people rarely
receive the sympathy which is their due.

TnE PENALTY Or.LlvIN0 TO LONG.


The death 10 poverty and Obscurity
of sx Governor William A. NEWELL Of
New Jersey Was another illustration OF
the irony Of fate.
Here was . man Who had ''sat 10 Con-
gress beside Abraham Lincoln" who
was Governor Of New Jersey from 1857
to 1860, Was afterward for several years
Governor Of the Territory of Washing
ton and was ''the father of the Govern
ment llfe-saving SERVICE"
He Was An educated physician, and
his faculties and character were 60
we'll preserved that he served - fore
man OF the Grand Jury last June whose
action closed the gambling houses at
Long Branch.
Yet this man who had "done the
Safe some service" died In poverty In Q
small ballroom In . cheap boarding
house, and his body WAS rescued from
ignominious neglect in public morgus
by the credible action Of Adjutant Cen
eral Olyphsnt. He had the coffin
draped with the American nag, remov-
cd temporarily 10 the State House and
given . guard Of honor from the Nation
al guard, after which 1t WAS placed in
the receiving vault of the cemetery.
To complete the grim irony Of this
liie's story it is added that there is .
possibility that the body will be buried
in Potter's Field unless the State Of
New Jersey intervenes.
Governor Newell's old friend, Abraham
Lincoln, was fond Of quoting the refrain
Of an old poem
30 why should the spirit OF mortal be
proud?"
Why, indeed?-WOrld.

AGRICULTURAL.
Pretty Things to Wear.
THE SPRING HAT.

The Amazon hat, turned up on both
sides, will, 1t is said. be fAvorite for
spring wear.
A new shape that always seems to
have caught the popular fancy, has
slight bend downward 1t both the
back and the front. It is made Of
mousselline de sole. Roses of . deli |
cate pink muslin arranged in wreath
effect and knots of black velvet ribbon
are the favorite trimmings for this
style.
Straw hats will be relegated to Sec
0nd place In favor OF tissue and fancy
hats, that come In an endless variety OF
shapes. For trimming these, straw
braid will be fashionable material.
For hats where the .tiffness given by
= straw shape is required. that mater
ial will be used, but only as founds-
ton, as it will be literally covered with
/ flowers, foliage and lace.
Fine lace scarfs are to be loosely
knOtted around the crowns OF chip
hats, and have the ends falling over
the edge st the back. Roses, with their
foliage, lend the floral touch, and are
o be placed around the crown.
Beadwork OF all sorts 10 TO be used
IN decorative pieces for hats. New Of,
'ects are also offered In embroidery,
he designs being brought out In che
oille and 10 silk net, incrusted with
oearls or spankles, and sometimes
10th.
A new fancy is to wire pale shades Of
ibbon Into the semblsnce Of rose or
,ther large flower. THIS is TO be ar
anged on . sprdY Of foliage and "
raj punches placed close together
around the brlm Of any medium siz ID
1at.
T.ques and small hats are 10 many
instances covered with a,wers and
mall leaves, eymmetrically arranged.
When especially small blossoms are
used they are punched Into pompons.

suffering may be gathered from Mrs.
Nelson's experience told in the letter
given below She says, ~ aas SO ner1'-
0ns that the least thing voHId sfd'7ie me

ditiou of nervousness generally indicates
womanly diseases. 1t is useless to at
tempt to cure nervousness by the use OF
narcotics.
NARCOTICS ARE DEADLY -,
for the nervous woman whose need Is
not to make the nerves sleep but to
make them strong, not to numb them
but to nourish them. The best medi-
cine for nervous women Is DIR. Plerce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t cures nervous
ness because it cures the causes which
are behind nervousness. 1t establishes
regularity, dries the drains which under

Obituary.

Died at his home on the ranch IA miles
southwest from Custer, on the End day
of July, 1902, Thomas Callan in the 48th
year of his age.
Mr.. Callan was born in the town Of
Lancaster, Wisconsin. Came to South
Dakota in 1873 and settled in the town
of Vermillion. He was married
in 1873. Together they came to the
Black Hills in 1885 and movod to Gus
ter in 1887. He leaYes wife and eight
children, boys and 8 girls to mourn his
loss. The funeral took place on the 3rd
of July, and large procession followed
him to his last resting place in the Gus
ter cemetery.
Mr.. Csllan was by faith Catholic, but
in the absence of tine priest, Mrs. Kath.
crime Powell oficiated at the funeral.
Mr.. Callan had been more or less uf.
ferer for about seven years, but it was
within the last year that the disease got
in its most deadly work, and finally des-
troyed his life. 1t was cancer. The
sympathy of this community goes out
to the widow and the fatherless, in this
their sad hour of affliction and distress.
Once again it becomes our painful duty
to record the demise Of valued citizen
and good man. This time there comes
mingled with our mourning and regret
feeling of relief, that the kindly hand
of death has come to relieve our friend
from his long suffering pain and distress
When man is afflicted with disease
which he knows is incurable, and can
look forward to nothing but suffering in
all the days that remain to him on the
earth, it is but natural that every breath
should bear a silent prayer that the
grim reaper may come soon, and with
tender hand sever the mystic cord that
so long has bound him to couch of pain.
At last his wish is gratifed, and the
freed spirit is greeted by the loved ones
gone before, in land where he can at
last rest free from the torture of the
deadly parasites which inch by inch de.
voured his flesh. We have been taught,
and we beleiye it, that in the great here
after We are rewarded according to the
deeds done in the body. We have also
been taught, and we believe it, that for
every throb of suffering which we are
called to endure in this life we receive
divine compensation in the life to come.
We believe this because It's reasonable
and just that 1t should be 80, and justice

The Water Works

A visit to the reservoir which Is being
excavated under contract as a part OF
the water works now being installed in
Custer, reveals the fact that two.thirds
of the work is completed and about 800
feet of ditch is also finished. A good
part of this work is in hard rock which
requires blasting, and we are glad to
announce that the work is being pushed
with remarkable yigor. AS soon as the
pumps arrive work will be commenced
on the well and the piping will soon
follow. OF course the most important
part is the water supply, that is the
quantity and quality of the water to be
obtained, and we tiust that this fact has
been duly considered.
Mr.. John Donneley, the sub .contrac-
tor, had few extra heavy blasts. which
he said he would explode at daylight on
the morning of July Fourth, and no
doubt some of our heavy sleepers had
their slumbers disturbed at an unusu-
ally early hour, which was a notice to
them that there are some people in Gus.
tel who are awake, and the water works
