There is quiet effort being made in certain quarters to elect councilmen who will be instrumental in the repeal of certain ordinances regulating sa- looms. Among the ordinances are the ones excluding women from sa- looms and the repeal, or at least, the reduction of licenses of ordinances re- garding gambling. It is not being made an issue outright for they know the people would not stand for it, and by keeping the issue quiet, they expect to slip into the town council set of officials who would repeal ordinances objectionable to them.

The man who does the guessing for the weather bureau has hard job on his hands when it comes to guessing Arizona weather, says the Journal Miner. Many times during the win- ter he has promised rain or snow in the northern portion. His predictions have generally been followed by cloudy weather, and condition which seemed favorable to the fulfillment of the prediction but just about the time when rain or snow was expected to commence falling, a north wind would set in and drive away the clouds, knock out the weather bureaus pre- diction, and dash to the ground the hopes of our citizens for rain. Do not blame the weather man for dry wealth CT, he seems to be doing the best he can.

None of the good road bills pro- posed are likely to pass at this ses- sion of congress, although they have very strong backing. The sum of s24, 900, 900 was asked for to be divided among the states according to popu- lation. It is pointed out that during the past fourteen years there has been balance of trade in favor of farm products of s4,SO6, 900, 900. As it costs more for the farmers to haul their products over dirt roads than it does for railroads to carry the produce to market, it would seem as if the farmers, who are anxious for good roads, should receive some con- siderati0n.

A rather amusing incident occurred in a street argument one day this week. A candidate for the town coun- cil was scoring the present council for no, making tax levy for 1903. After the argument some one took occasion to look into the matter and found that the candidate was delinquent on the town tax roll for the year 1902.

CATTLE SUFFER GREATLY.
Have Been on Poor Feed and Are En-.
tirely Without Water.

Belle Fourche, s.. D., March O.
While the losses to cattle on the range
have been heavy during the last few
weeks, they have been almost entirely
confined to the heavy owners. The
small cattlemen have experienced
scarcely any losses and it is practical
~ certain that they will bring their
herds through the winter safely. They
have an abundance of feed, their cat
tie are strong INC we'll accounted for.
The animals of the large herds have
been for months on poor feed and
have suffered intensely of thirst. I'm
til lately there has been no snow and
the few water holes and streams have
been tightly frozen. The mad at
Stempts of the creatures to obtain wa
ter have been tragic. They have how
cred about the frozen pools and have
crushed the ice until their ongues,
mangled and torn, have stained the
surface with blood.
Many dead cattle nay be seen in a
days ride from Belle Fourche and new
carcasses are appearing daily. AT this
time 1t is difficult to approximate the
loss to some of the big outfits.
The owners of small herds have
carefully ~husbanded their supplies of
1000 and have apportioned them out
only when necessary. They have
,strtven to relieve the suffering among
their herds from thirst and where ex-
ped1ent have pumped water for them
In many cases their cattle would max,
Satr beef at this time.

BURKE SAYS NO.
Does Not Oppose Pettigrew's Nomina-
ton for South Dakota Q~eienation.

Canton, s.. D.. March 7.-Thos. Burke,
who is reported by the republican pa
pers all over the state as being the man
who opposes r. F. Pettigrew's nominal
ton as a member of the South Dakota
delegation to the democratic national
convention. sticks to the declaration
which he made last fall that he posi-
lively had no objection to Mr.. Petit
greW-in fact he says that If the ma
jority of the members Of the democratic
state convention see fit to select Mr.
Pettigrew as one of the delegates he
will be perfectly satisfied to let him
60. Mr.. Burke takes the broad and
common sense position that if Mr..
Pettigrew accepts a position on the
delegation in question he will indorse
the principles Of the democratic party
and IL he does this he is just as good
a democrat as any in the state. Mr..
Burke told a Press correspondent in
this city a few days ago that the pre-
vailing notion which some of the re-
publican papers seemed to cherish,
namely that he Is a bitter enemy Of
Mr.. Pettlgrew, is based entirely on
~falsehood, fpr no such feelings existed
friend of Senator Pettigrew ever since
he left the republican party in the st.
Louis convention n he was today.

SOUTH DAKOTA

AS IL nature had not been unkind
enough. the Thibetan woman heightens
her ngliness by smearing her face with
q horrible black ointment to keep her
skin from cracking in the dry wind.
Her dress is not very different from
her husbands. Her browning glory is
her hair. Plastered down with butter
from the part to the ears, 1t goes off
behind into a sunburst of small braids
to which is Fastened a great fan-sllaped'
headdress falling to the hem of her
garments. It is of spreading strips Of
red and blue cloth, Joined horizontally
by iorn bands. and ornamented with
countless coral and malachite beadss
silver coins and tiny bells. The one
poetic thing about a Thibetian woman
Is h sound of her going-a soft. melod-
ious tinlsle, belying the grotesqueness
of her face.

Man, and They Became

Pierre, S. D., March IA case has
occurred in this city in which a box
OF poisoned candy sent through the
mail was the means Of nearly causing
death. The victim, while yet alive, is
so low that the attending physicians
hold out no hope for
Miss Rena Nelson, who lives with
her parents on a farm north Of this
city, received the poisoned candy the
first of the week. and the matter has
been kept quiet until there could be
no question OF the existence of poison
IN the candy and the custody of the
person supposed to have sent the cam
dy secured. Part of the candy, which
was mailed at Boone, Ia, al SEM to
the state chemist at the agricultural
college at Brookings, who found that
1t contained corrosive sublimate, and
the effects of the poison on the victim
were those Of such poison.
Miss Nelson accuses Mrs. S. Dye Of
Boone Ia, Of being the person who
sent the poison.
While visiting in Boone last year
Miss Nelson met a MI. Dye, who ac-
companled her to several places and
betWeen whom grew up a feeling which
resulted n an engagement. Dye rep
resented himself to have been divorced
from a former wife.
After Miss Nelson's return home q
was hSpS .op

Miss Nelson received a letter from a
Mrs. Dye, claiming that there was no
divorce and accusing her of interfer-
ence In family affairs, and later an
unsigned letter threatening trouble If
the correspondence vas kept up.
I The first of this week a box Of can
,dy was received through the mail from
Boone, and a part of 1t was eaten. The
same day Miss Nelson received a let
ter from a friend at Boone saying that
Mrs. Dye was threatening to make it
hot for Miss Nelson if the corresponds
ence did not cease. The letter was
not received until after the candy had
been eaten, or the BOX would probably
have been viewed with suspicion.
Sheriff Laughlin wired the %authori-
ties at Boone requesting the arrest Of
Mrs. Dye, but they refused to act with
out a warrant, and he win leave 70,
Boone with the necessary papers.

Governor to Act "Wednesday

Pierre, S. D., March 9.-Miss Rena
Nelson, the victim of the candy poison
Ing, is said by the attending physician
to be slowly succurlbing to the effects
OF h poison. The only reason he
gives for the prolonged tenure of life is
the strength and health Of the patient.
Boone, Ia, Marcel County Attor-
ney Canoe and the attorneys for the
defense In the hablas corpus proceed
ings to release Mrs. Dye, who is ac-
cused of sending a box Of poisoned
candy to Miss Rena Nelson of Pierre,
agreed on a stipulation to continue the
case to Wednesday morning until Gov
n Cummins make a decision in the
matter Of a requisition.
Sheriff Laughlin of Pierre says that
the authorities of South Dakota think
they have a very strong case against
the prisoner, but the handwriting on
the package Of candy will play a large
part in the identification of the sender.
The writing is the same as that OF an
threatening letter received
by Miss Nelson some time ago, and
looks like a feminine hand.
Mrs. Dye passed a comfortable night
in the Jail with her daughter. and is not
experiencing any bad effects from the
shock OF her arrest. She was spared
the ordeal of appearance in the court
room by the continuance Of the case.
Mr.. Dye is attending her closely.
The statement that the package of
candy was postmarked Boone led to an
inquiry at the postoftice as to the man
ner Of stamping packages. 1t was there
learned h a packages of this descrip-
ton are fourth class mall and are not
required to be stamped with the name
of the city, as the stamping machine
hits them too hard. 1t is customary
to use a sort of "dauber' or soft stamp,
not bearing the name of the city. This
naturally led to an inquiry as to he
nature of tn address, and from Pierre
1t was learned that the package was
addressed by pasting an addressed en-
yelope on it. This bore a postmark from
Boone Of the date of January ,23. The
cancellation Of h package indicated
that it was not mailed at Boone. The
place of cancellation viii be hard to
determine.
