DUTIES ON PRESENTS.
Appraisers Decisions Opposed to Sec
retary Shaw's Policy.

Washington. March 25.-The opinion OF
Mr.. Somerville, ha nded down from The
general appraisers bench in New York
last week. declaring dutiable some of the
personal belongings Of A. Obendorf within
the 800 limit. because they were presents.
is liable 10 be followed by further dis
cussion of the tariff law and the treasury
regulations based on it. The decisions
of Secretary Shaw in previous cases
brought before him. have poined sQuarely
in the opposite direction. and all his ef-
forts have been aimed at liberalizing the
operation of the personal belongings ex-
emption as far as the actual terms Of the
law would permit. 1t seems unlikely that
he would pay any attention to an opinion
of the general appraisers IL he regarded it
as in conflict with the broader principles
laid down by the circuit court.

GRIP THAT FAILED
NARROW ESCAPE OF A WELL
KNOWN FARMER AND HORSE
MAN.
One of the Worst Assaults Known
John n. Robinson Attacked Three
Times and Given Up for Dead.

| an encounter with highwaymen on Z
lonely road in Dutchess Co. ". Y, would
| have been preferable to the experienc.
| through which Mr.. John H. Robinson
| of Manchester Bridge. n. Y. actually
passed. In the former case he would
doubtlessly have been quickly relieved OF
his watch and money and would have
been left in a more or less bruised and
! dazed state by the roadside. But the loss
| Of valuables would have been relatively
small and within a few days he would
have recovered from injuries and shock.
! Besides. such an attack would not be
soon, IL ever. repeated
As il was. however, the assaults from
! which he suffered occurred three times.
! cost him great loss of time and money
and brought him 10 the very verge OF
death. Told by himself, his story is as
follows:
Il was attacked three times during
three years by grip, complicated with
pneumonia. and my sufferings were ter
ribie. I had some of the best physicians
in the county, but none of them could
give me any relief from the fearful pains
in the back Of my head, just at the base
of the skull. For two weeks I was so
low that no one, except the doctor and
room and once 1 was given up fer dead.
How did you finally get on your
feet?" asked the reporter.
Why. ! happened to read of two
cases of grip that had been cured by Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, so
l got box. After had taken one box
L felt much better and three boxes cured
me completely"
Have you lad the grip since?"
Yes, just once, a few years later, but
a few doses OF the same pills cured me
again.
do you recommend this remedy to
others?"
Il do, indeed; because / know the medi-
cine i. a grani good thing. No one ever
had the grip worse than 1 did unless ne
died. 1t was the only thing that saved
my life"
excellent remedy for the grip and it's
after-effects. because they expel poison
from the blood and supply tonic and
nutritive elements to every organ and
tissue. They quicken the appetite, i'm
prove the digestion, give strength to weak
nerves, and, in short. forward all the pro-
cesses that tend to rapid and complete
recovery. Hence rheumatism, anaemia.
headaches, dizziness, nervous irritability
and prostration rapidly disappear and
the system is fortified against a recur-
renee Of the original trouble. One OF the
most striking results of the use of DR..
Williams Pink Pills in cases of influenza
is that the depression. which is such q
trying characteristic of the disease and
which often takes suicidal phase, is
succeeded by elasticity of spirits. This
great remedy is sold by all druggists |
throughout the world.

Denounces Yellow journalism.

The following resolution was passed
at the last meeting of the Shakespeare
Club and explains itself:
Resolved, That the Shakespeare Club
in regular session assembled hereby
expresses its indignation and protests
against the article recently published
in the New York Journal and Chicago
American defamatory to DR.. and Mrs.
G. w. Hargens, wherein the Shakes.
peare club is accused of taking action
to prevent Mrs. Hargens becoming a
member of the club, and the club here
by stamps as a lie the detailed state
ment of an attempt to present Mrs.
Hargens' name, and the same being
foiled by voting in members to supply
all vacancies, and so exclude Mrs.
Hargens; this being entirely false and
without foundation in fact. Mrs. Har
gems name has never been mentioned
in a club meeting for membership.
That the club denounces the article as
cowardly and malicious in its attempt
to injure woman; and that they con-
slider it an insult to the Shakespeare
club.

A GOOD GAME OF BASE BALL.
Hot Springs and Rapid City Entertain a
Large Crowd with Fine Exhibition.

Hot Springs and Rapid City Entertain a
Large Crowd with a Fine Exhibition.
The game Saturday between Hot
Springs and Rapid City was one of the
best played of the season. Rapid City
presented first class team, and u % to
the eighth inning it looked like a shut
out for the home team. Cornelson
pitched gilt edged ball and was ably
supported by the team back of him.
For seven innings only three hits we're
made off his delivery. For the local
team, Hoye was touched up for five
hits, which netted three runs in the
seventh inning, but after that he
steadied down and pitched winning
ball. Cheatwood pitched the last two
innings.
In the eighth with the score to 0
against them, Hot Springs took brace
and won the game. Hummel hit safely
and was advanced to second on Jones'
out. Driscoll was hit by pitched ball,
and both he and Jones scored on
Cheatwood's long drive to center, net
ting him two bases. Coe singled and
stole second. 1t was plain that Cornell,
son was in the air badly and Hot
Springs would win. The crowd was
encouraging the local team, and the
travelling men who had been roofing
for the visitors seemed paralyzed. La
pinska was hit by a pitched ball and
the bases we're full. Sage hit a corking
single on which Cheatwood and Coe
scored. Hoye hit fly to McElroy,
which he mutfed but caught Lapinska
at the plate. Sage scored. Juckett
was thrown out at first. Rapid City
went out in one, two, three order in the
ninth, and the game was won.

DEATHS SUDDEN SUMMONS.
John Il. Mower, an Old and Respected Res
ident, Falls Dead Saturday Evening

Saturday evening at $50 John r.
Mower dropped dead at his home at
the Fall River Hotel. Apoplexy was
the cause of his death. He had been
in fairly good health for some time,
though for some time had feared that
his end would come as it did. The
funeral services we're conducted from
the Congregational church Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Long off,
ciating. A large concourse of friends
and neighbors we're present to pay
their respects to the departed,
whose friends were legion. The Mod
ern Woodmen lodge had charge of the
services, the deceased having been a
member of the order for nineteen
years. They also conducted burial
services at the cemetery, where very
large number we're present.
Mr.. Mower came to Hot Springs early
in the 9O's and has been actively en-
gagged in the hotel business ever since.
He was G5 years and 81 days old; was
quiet man, yet always interested in
public matters; was an excellent oiti-
zen, kind hearted, always agreeable and
it can truly be said of him that he had
no enemies.
He leaves a wife, two sons and a
daughter to mourn his death-Fred
Mower being resident of South Oma-
ha, Neb., who was present at the funer-
al, George and Miss Nellie being resi-
dents of this place.
In his death Hot Springs loses good
citizen, who will be missed by the large
number who enjoyed his friendship.
The STAR extends sincere sympathy to
the bereaved family.
