''i5outh Dakotans i'm congress are ac-
cused of designs to locate the capital

''Since then the South Dakota MEM

Rev. p. NJ. Smocl gave his lecture
upon "Dreams and Dreamers" to a
gcod-sized audience last Friday night
at the opera house for the bene-
fit of the fire company. He fully sus-
tanned the good reputation that had

abounds in bright and happy thoughts

is to encourage young men, as we'll as
the older ones, to have main object
in life by having what he termed "day
dream" ls"-setting their mark high and
not swerving from their purpose un-
til they had reached the place to which
their day dream" had guided them.
Mr. SmCck has great fund OF humor-
Gus stories and anecdotes which are
frequently interspersed in his lecture.
SO that his audience was kept i'm high
glee It was a splendid success in
every way and the fire boys made
about $4,000 out OF it.

a Fatal Shot.

Last Saturday while Daniel Palm
gren, the II year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Palmgren, was practicing
shooting with a % calibre Winchester
rifle, he stepped backward with the
gun cooked and stepped down slight
embankment, losing his balance and
fell so that the gun was discharged, the
ball entering his head back of the ear.
His little brother was near by and gave
the alarm and came to town, distance
of about seven miles, for physician
and his father. DR.. Hargens and Mr..
Palmgren wentquickly as possible, but
the boy breathed his last within few
moments after their arrival, not becom-
ing conscious after being shot.
Daniel was born April 4, 1902. The
family lived in town all winter and the
two boys attended public school here
Daniel was bright, energetic little
fellow and was we'll liked by his play
mates. He was dearly beloved by his
parents and Mr.. Palmgren was partic-
ularly fond of little Daniel.
Funeral services were conducted
from the Congregational church here
Monday afternoon, Rev. Long otticiat-
ing. Miss Danforth sang an appropri-
ate solo. A large concoulse of sympa-
thising neighbors and friends were
present, and followed the remains to
Evergreen cemetery.
This was most distressing and sad
affair, and the sympathy of the COM
munity goes out to MIR. and Mrs Palm
gren and the sad little brother in thei,
great bereavement.

Things Coming Our Way.

An era of good times has come to Hot
Springs and settled down apparently
TO stay No one needs to be told this,
you can see it written ON every hand
The most tangible proof, perhaps, is
the large amount of building that is
going ON and that is being contemplate
ed. Property owners no longer beg
folks to live in their houses. free Of
rent, in order that they may keep them
insured, but every house in town is oc-
cupied at as high rate of rental as
they would bring anywhere, and prop
erty is now changing hands at prices
that indicate confidence in the town.
There is no indication, so far as we
know, of large owners asking eXorbitant
prices for property, but a general dis
position seems to prevail to give new
blood a chance. The large amount of
work that is being done here shows
that there is no lack of confidence
either on the part of individuals or of
the government, and these conditions
cannot help improving, as there will be
larger number of civilian employees
on the pay roll Of the Sanitarium after
its completion than there is now en-
gagged OH is construction. So we are
all feeling good and happy over the
situation. The beautiful winter fol-
lowed by very early spring has already
brought quite large number of visit
ors and health seekers down from
Deadwood, Lead and the adjacent
camps, and all are delighted with what
the girls call our "lollapoloosa" weather

the following extract from quite an
extended notice of the marriage:
"The consummation of this wedding
has been looked forward to by the
many friends of the contracting par
ties for some time. Both bride and
groom have very large circle of
friends in this city and county. Mrs.
Beck has been teacher in our public
schools, and one of Broken Bows most
popular young ladies, who was admired
for her many accomplishments. The
groom has spent several years in this
city, but is now located at Hot Springs,
S. d., where he is practicing his chosen
profession, that of dentistry. He is a
young man of good social and business
qualities and universally respected
Several social functions have taken
place in the city the past week in honor

SCORES PACKERS TRUST
Congressman Martin Presents Arguments
in Support of Resolution Isela-
tive to Beef Prices.

tive to Beef Prices,
a Washington special of March 5
says: During the general debate ON
the Indian appropriation bill Mr.. Mar
tin a republican member from South
Dakota, addressed the house on his res
olution directing the secretary of com.
merce and labor to investigate the
causes of the differences which exist
between live and dressed meat He
prefaced his statements with high
tribute to Attorney General Knox and
by saying that he was not one who
went into hysteria on hearing the word
trust.
MIR. Martin said that the western
stockmen had been forced to the con-
clusion that the great meat markets of
the country were being manipulated
against them The recent meeting of
the Stock RaiserS Association had rec
ognized this fact by resolutions favor
ing the establishment of independent
packing houses.
Regarding the proceeding of the at
torney general against the beef trust,
now on appeal before the supreme
court of the United States, Mr.. Martin
said
So far as the rights of the producer
are concerned, they are even worse
than before this injunction was placed
on this so called trust. | think there
is every indication that after the in
junction they changed their methods,
and, instead of agreeing or combining
in advance, their agents so to the mar
ilets every day, and when one buys a
lot of beef the others refrain from bid
ding against him and afterward divide
up the purchase among themselves.
This method. Mr.. Martin declared,
was violation OF the terms of the
Sherman law aud antitrust laws
which he believed we're adequate to
remedy the evil.
He paid his compliments to Senator
Foraker for Introducing bill in the
senate to repeal the forfeiture clause
in the Sherman act and gained demo
cratic applause by declaring that in
stead of removing that clause, it should
be enforced more vigorously.
Mr.. Martin said: 1.-The trusts have
come to stay. Why will they not let
the rest Of stay % He appealed fol
his motion
You will get every vote on this side,
said MIR. Stephens.
Mr.. Martin was frequently applaud
ed on both sides of the chamber.

Representative Martin left Wash

Deadwood, 8. D. He will be absent
from Washington week or ten days.
This morning Mr.. Martin appeared be-
fore the committee on mines and min
ing, to which he had referred his bill
to establish mining experiments in the
states and territories, and made a sue
cessful argument in favor of the
measure. The committee, at the con.
clusion of Mr.. Martins explanation of
of the purposes and scope of the
measure, decided to make favorable
report to the house upon it.
"Its purpose is to give the same en-
couragement to the mining prospector
through governmental aid as has for
years been given the agriculturists of
the country through the experimental
stations which are now maintained by
the department of agriculture. The
bill provides for the appointment of an
expert geologist and chemist at each
experiment station, and suggests that
not more than $4,000 shall be spent for
the equipment of each station"
Senator Gamble has introduced q
similar bill in the senate and is hope
full of securing its passage.
