Of these brokers have refused to deal
through second hands, but have
instituted this unceasing war upon
the stock In the hope Of forcing the
management to place stock directly
In their hands for sale to their
customers. In great many in
stances stock has been advertised by
unscrupulous brokers throughout the
country at prices far below what they
could buy the stock for from any
one. This was done with the double
purpose Of bearing the stock and
forcing the management to come to
them, and Of bolstering up wildcat
lists In which this stock was promi-
nently quoted at these cut rate prices.
Third: Through some unaccount-
able sonrce the investing public has
conceived the idea that there are two
classes Of GolcoLda stock, common
and preferred, and that the dividend
declared upon the stock will be paid
only upon the preferred stock Of the
company. This fslse information
has been very persistently circulated
by those persons above referred to,
who have had reason for bearing
tho stock and II has been given out
to the present stockholders that all
Of the stock outside Of that held by
the original purchasers Of the property
has been issued AZ common stock,
while all Of tho stock held by the
original purchasers IL preferred
stock, and entitled to all Of the
dividend. This has had tho effect
of causing numerous stockholders
to throw their holdings upon the
market ut prices much lower than
they could have obtained had they
taken time to investigate the truth
Of these statements.

It will be good news to mothers
of small children TO learn that Group

Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hOarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy freely as
soon as the child becomes hoafse, or
even after the rongh cough appears,
and it will dispel all symptoms Of
Group. In this way all danger and

Special Agents Are Now al

cATTLEMEn TO BLAME
Alleged They Have Been Getting
Homesteaders to Stake Out Graz
ing Lands for Them-Only
Nominal Residence.

Washington, July 20. - Department
officials await with considerable inter-
est reports OF alleged extensive land
frauds In the Pierre and Rapid City
land districts in south Dakota. Spe-
cial agents are now at work at Rapid
City and are investigating the alleged
fraudulent entries mad at that place
and Pierre. 1t is stated by depart
ment officials that the best information
so far obtainable is to the effect that
the South Dakota frauds are inspired
by cattle companies, who are anxious
to acquire large areas for grazing par
poses. The scheme has been to induce
soldiers Widows to MAKE homestead en-
tries of land used by grazing ompan-
les, the applicant only partially com
plying with the law.
In some instances a shack was
erected and wire fence put up, all done
by representatives of the cattle COM
panies, while the women who filed the
entry made no attempt to comply
with the law az to residence.
Just how much land and how many
people are involved In these frauds the
government authorities are unable to
say.
Complaints have been received at the
department for some time and finally
the land commissioner detailed a spe-
cial agent to look into the matter.
Since then an additional special agent
has been assigned for duty In the
South Dakota land districts. Advices
received at the department and that
II will lake several weeks to thorough
ly complete the work OF investigation.

with such a number of deaths as have
occurred prohibition Of the toy pistol
may be termed a matter Of public neoes-

is a matter in which the public should be
protected against itself. There is, Of
course, always a disposition oward len

the toy pistol Is concerned It must go.

should be fined not less than so nor more
