Veterans Must Make Showing.

A Pierre special of the 3Oth. ult.
says: Congressman Burke has received
q number of inquiries from old soldiers
over the state as to the necessity of
their action to secure benefits of the
cage pension act" The general trend
Of the inquiries was the need of maxi
ing application under the law. In
regard to that he says that he received
a letter from the pension bureau, in
which the following rulingis given:
ga pensioner whose name is on the
pension rolls under provision of sec
tion . of act of June 81, 1890, as amend
ed by the act of May 8, 1900, and who
desires to have his claim increased on
account of age, must file in this bureau
an application under said acts, and if
upon cons Iteration of the claim, it is
found that he is in receipt of pension
less than his age would warrant, he
may be increased from date of filing
his declaration in this bureau to the
amount that would be warranted by
the age established at the date of filing
such declaration"

HOT SPRINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA. FRIDAY. JUNE TO- 1904


The Man who Died from Disappointment
over Mitchell
We favor the retention of the capital
at Pierre for the reason that in a very
few years that city will be the center
of population of the state as she is now
the geographical center. OF course
Mitchell disputes this proposition.
But let us see.
In 1850, when people went to Dubuque
Iowa, their friends told them that they
we're leaving the civilized portion of
of the globe, they we're going to reside
on the outside edge of the world, aud
that no one would ever inhabit the
country west of them.
Along in the sos when settlement
first started in this part of South
Dakota, the land could be bought for
a song and was worthless, but the
people came and have prospered 1t
is the same story.
The lands that we're upon the maps
of our school days designated as ''the
great American desert" have been
made to produce abundant crops.
We can remember number of years
ago, when we were boy in Iowa, of a
farmer who ivedo on his own farm down
south of Manchester, who sold his
farm and investad in lands near Nit
chell, the next year he went out to see
i! his purchase, and while there he died.
Some of the people back in Iowa said
that the reason of his death was his
disappointment over his purchase,
that he saw he could raise nothing
in the shape of crops out there. All
new countries get black eye.-W eb-
F, ster Reporter and Farmer.

produce Uncle Tom to better advan-
tage than any company that has play

CATTLE NANCE, OR TEXAS ITCH.
Provision Must be Made for Dipping Stock
in "ENposed" Districts.


in "EXposed" Districts.
The most serious thing for the farm
ers and stoclSmen of South Dakota at
present is the prevalence of Texas itch
among the cattle. This disease has
appeared in good part of the state.
There is no doubt but that it was
introduced by cattle imported from
Texas or Mexico for rangers west of the
river. Be that as it may the situation
has now attracted the attention of the
federal authorities, and this fall no
cattle can be shipped without the ship
per being liable to government fine if
there should be found any afflicted
cattle among the stock loaded. The
matter has reached stage where we
believe it would be we'll for the states
authorities to quarantine all southern
cattle, and allow no more to be brought
in as the settlement west of the Mis-
souri, by homesteaders has disposed of
the range situation, and the question
now is to get rid of what disease there
is. While in Pierre this week State
Veterinarian Foster called attention to
its Importance to live stock owners.
The national bureau of animal industry
has taken the matter in hand, and has
provided that cattle which have been
exposed, or which have been dipped
only once, may be shipped out of the
state for slaughter, but must be shipped
i'll cars branded ''exposed cattle" or
INFECTED cattle, as the case may be,
and that such cars must not be used
again until they haye been thoroughly
fumigated and disinfected. A penalty
of a fine of from Sl00 to $1,000 is pro-
vided for violation of this order.
While this order does not prohibit
the shipment of stock out of South
Dakota, it places shipments under such
restrictions that the work will be great.
ly hampered this year unless radical
action is taken at once by cattle own
ers. The regulations require dipping
twice at periods two weeks apart, before
the cattle are considered safe. The
bureau now has two men i'm the state,
one at Aberdeen and one at Huron, to
watch shipments passing through those
points, and will place men at all large
shipping points later in the season. II.
j. Eagel is at Huron and A. E. Wright
at Aberdeen.
In several instances county commits
sioners have taken up the matter of
providing dipping tanks. Aurora coun-
ty has already taken action, while
plants are being constructed at county
expense in Mcpherson and Edmunds
counties, and the commissioners of
Sully county are in special session to
consider petitions for that purpose

Cattle Values Continue Rising.

"Current receipts certainly tend to
indicate a period Of beef scarcity until
the arrival of range beef" says Rappal
Bros. 'S Co., of Chicago, in letter to
the STAR and they advise as follows:
"Beef values continue to soar under
the influence of light receipts, and pop
ular weight cattle are soc per cwt.
higher than three weeks ago. Six cent
cattle, long expected, materialzed this
week. Fridays top-s6.25-wa the
highest price of the year, and 75c high
er than year ago. Buyers have given
sellers we'll nigh all they have asked
for, and good profits were pocketed on
nearly everything handled. Practically
no beef has been left on the hoof over
night during the past two weeks, the
bulk selling at $500 to $40, the high
est prices in two years back.
"The marked improvement in cattle
values of late justified expectancy of
heavy runs during the past two weeks,
and killers have accepted the light re-
ceipts as evidence that feed lots are
about exhausted. Consequently trad
ers are freely predicting that lusty
demand will prevail for western grass
ers, and that even heavy receipts will
be absorbed readily at stiff prices dur
ing the coming season.
"Chicago receipts of range cattle this
year promises to be largely in excess
of 1903, but the outlook for the western
season grows brighter week after week.
AS stated in our former letter, the huge
runs since the beginning of the year
have practically cleaned out feed lots
in the corn belt, creating an outlet for
grass stuff that cold adjectives cannot
describe. Bullish sentiment anent tie
coming western season is rampant, and
rangers in general are to be congratu
lated upon their brilliant prospects fol
obtaining pinnacle prices for their cat.
