c0S7S NOTHING UNLESS CURED.
A fair Offer Made by C. " Jones to An
Sufferers from Cdtnrrh.

G. V. Jones is selling Hyomei on a
plan that has caused considerable
talk among his customers.
The plan is different from that fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the rem
edy itself is different also. This treat
ment for the cure OF catarrh has such
an unusual record of cures to its
credit that C. V. Jones offers to re-
fund the money if it does not give the
desired benefit. This is certainly one
of the fairest offers that can be made
and any one who has catarrh and does
not take advantage Of IT is doing him
self or herself an injustice.
Do not suffer any longer with tick
ling, smarting, burning, eye-watering
troubles that affiict those who have
catarrh Hyomei will cure you, but
if you should not find it adapted to
your case, c. V. Jones will return your
money.

Discovered Radium.

Harry Way of Custer who it will be
remembered was paralyz zed from the hips
down from the effects Of fall while
working in the Golden Reward mill, is
steadily improving. He has discarded
his crutches and is able to navigate by
the aid of two sticks. However, he is
still cripple and will be for some time
yet and naturally chafes under the re.
straint which the unfortunate accident
has placed upon him. But If his limbs
are crippled his head is still
sound, and he has been putting
his inventive genius at work to some
purpose of late. He in company with
Mr.. w. c. Allison have been investigat.
ing Of late and experimenting with a
view to the discovery of radium from
ore found in Custer county. MIR. Way
says that they have advanced far enough
along that line 60 enable him to an
nounce positiv bly, that they have discov.
cred either radium, or some other force
which has radioactive properties. He
says too that the material is very strong
in its raw state and will radiate light
through vulcanized paper enclosed in en-
air tight recepticle. Messrs. Way and
Allison are still at work at it and promise
to report progress when they have per-
formed few more experiments.

burst Ys. Tubbs.

The above is the title of a contest case
which has lately been tried in the land
Office at Rapid City. Without giving
the details ofthe decision which we have
not room to print, we will merely state
that the decision is in favor of Mr..
Tubbs. The decision reads in part as
follows:
"There was considerable evidence in
troduced by the protestant to show the
mineral character of the ground, but the
preponderance of the testimony proves
conclusively to our minds that the lands
embraced in this homestead entry are
most valuable for agricultural purposes.
We are OF the opinion, as the principal
road or highway on which to enter the
city of Custer is located upon and crosses
the land in controversy, and upon said
highway or road as now located is the
reservoir or well and pipe line owned
by the city Of Custer, that the city oi
Custer and county of Custer should be
protected as to this road and their water
supply, and we believe that this case
comes within the quoted provision OF
the Black Hills forest reserve law. After
thoroughly investigating the evidence
offered at the hearing on the final proof,
We are Of the opinion that the allegations
contained in said protest that affect the
Validity of the homestead entry are not
proven, and We hereby recommend that
said protest be dismissed.

The republicans of Lawrence county
held their convention last Wednesd

ported to have been love feast and the
most perfect harmony prevailed. The

structions to vote for the nomination of
Eben w. Martin for congress. The
present congressional and senatorial

b. & M. Changed Time.

The regular B. & NJ. train in and ont
of Lead, it is said will change time Sum
day, the third Of April. After that time
there is to be another train put on the
B. & NJ. between Omaha and Edgemont.
The Black Hills train will leave Omaha
in the afternoon and arrive here about
noon the following day. The train will
be lighter by several coaches and will
make schedule time, so that we may bope
that delayed incoming train will not
be so frequent in the future. So far as
the outgoing train is concerned it is
thought by the local agents here that
there will be but little If any change.
Later-Since the above has been put
in type we have had conversation with
Mr.. Francis, General Passenger and
Ticket Agent, who tells us that instead
of arriving earlier, as given in the above,
the train will arrive much later. That
the time of arrival will be 11:45 p. m.
and that the change will take place about
April lth.-Lead Tribune.

Keep the Capital at Pierre.

The editor of the Plaindealer has made
it point for the last month to ask every
rancher that came into this Office what
city he favored for the capital, Pierre or
Mitchell. Invariably the answer was !:
keep the capital at Pierre" All that
is necessary for man to become con-
vinced as to the truth of our statements
is for him to go to any place in the Hills
and ask anyone what their sentiments
are regarding the capital removal. Nine
times out of ten you will receive the
answer, keep the capital at Pierre"
The reasons for the Black Hills being
solid for Pierre are too we'll known to
need any enlarging upon. But it is an
absolute fact that the sentiment is strong
ly in favor of Pierre in this section that
it is very doubtful if Mitchell gets any
representation at all from western South
Dakota.-Whitewood Plaindealer.

machinery consisting of two new boilers,
new cages have been ordered prepara-
tory to sinking an additional depth of
200 feet on the vein.
The Aberdeen Mining company is the
name of the new organization which
succeeds to the ownership Of the old ].
r. mine near Hill City. Our advices
from that locality are to the effect that
the company are sinking on good shoot
of ore in this old time rich producer OF
the precious metal. Mr.. Patrick Daley
is Supt. in charge.
1t is reported that the Venture COM
pany Of England, the Gugenheimers, or
in other words the American Smelling
trust, and another company OF heavy
capitalists, are examining the mines OF
Yellow creek south of Deadwood, with
a view to investment. These mines in
clude the Wasp and Wasp No. 2, togeth.
er with large tract of mineral ground,
both the fat formation and the vertical
states. We are glad to hear Of this and
hope the deal may be consummated, as
it is capitalists that is wanted just now

We have had our attention called very
often of late to the fact that great many
capitalists who have got their fingers
burnt by investing in the industrial con-
Germs of the country are drawing out of
them and putting their money into mines.
This argues we'll for mining interests and
proves at the same time the old saying
that at is bad wind that blows nobody
any good" What is the industrials loss
is the miners gain, and the capitalists may
be trusted to find out at last the right
place to put their money.
