PROCLAMATION by THE MAYOR.

BY request of committee of ladies
representing the Villige Improvement
Society, and in compliance with res
olution of the City Council of the City
of Hot Springs, South Dakota, /. A 8.
Stewart, Mayor of Hot Springs,
do hereby request all good citizens
to join in the efforts of the Village
improvement Society to improve and
beautify our city by cleaning up the
streets, alleys and public places of
said city, and l hereby appoint Satur-
day, April 9th, as day especially set
apart for that purpose.
1t is the purpose of this movement
to enlist the active cooperation of all
persons interested in identifying and
improving our little city, and to that
end would earnestly request that all
persons having teams and other facili-
ties for assisting in this work to meet
at the City Hall on the day above ap-
pointed, at $3.50 o'clock a. m. This
work will be under the direct supervis-
ion of the Village Improvement Socie-
ty, the City Marshal, and the Street
and Alley committee. This is a move
ment in the right direction, but unless
the owners of stock within the city
limits take interest enough to keep
said stock from roaming at large, all
efforts made 10y this committee will be
of little avail. Therefore owners of
stock must see to it that their stock
does not run at large,
Having great faith in the loyalty and
good judgment of cur citizens | am
confident that this movement will re.
ceive their hearty co operation and as
sistance. a. S. STEWART.
Attest: Mayor.

during all this time no case has

the writer was informed by Mr.
Van Sickle, who is in close touch
with the Orient people, that docu-
ments securing the right of way
through Brewster County school
land were filed and recorded a
short time before. What the
Guide would like to see, of course
is the building of that "cut off,

Cut Off to be Built Before Main Line

President Stilwell is having a
great time financing the Orient
railroad, but he seems to be sue
ceeding in spite of inimical Wall
street influences. His latest or
gonizations are the Union Con-
struction Co. and the Internation-
Construction Co.--the former to
to build the Kansas City end of
the road, 420 miles; the latter to
build the long stretch from the
south line of Oklahoma to Topo-
lobampo, about 1900 miles. The
Union is capitalized at SO, 900, 900,
the International at $4,000, 900.
The latter Is TO receive $4,000 in
bonds, $500 in preferred stock
and SIP, 800 ordinary stock for
each mile of road built with an
additional ~, 10000 in bonds for
the rough and heavy work in
crossing the Sierra Madre. A
rather heavy capilization it would
seem The road however gets the
most liberal subsidy ever granted
for road building in Mexico,
including miueralizsd lands Ell
route. Those lands have barely
been prospected as yet, the diff
cultles and distance of transport
tation have barred the way. The
concession, as some of the Guide
readers may recall, was first
granted to A X Owen of Topolo-
bampo colony fame "a man of
magnetic character and brilliant
abilities who sought to found a
new Utopia on an integral co-op-
erative plan. That was twenty
years ago. Several parties from
southwest Texas-some from
north Atascosa countryside off
everything they had and embark
ed in the colony enterprise. They
have had many vicissitudes. The
survivors it is hoped, may re-
ceive substantial benefit from the
Orient, although their claim to
some compensation may be more
equitable than legal. They have
some water rights, surely, which
ought to be valuable, for they put
a lot of money and hard work in
to the digging of a big ditch for
irrigation, from the Fuerte river.
The Guide remembers that it's
friend J l. McCaleb of Garlic
came very near going with Dr.
Scally and the Newtons from
Atascosa county, as colonist
but these are "reminiscences only.
There is no question but that the
Orient has a magnificent harbor
at Topolobampo, and. it is this
which as an objective point lends
additional value to the bold rail
road plan. About IS miles of the
road are in operation from the
harbor inland. That it will ulti-
mately be u successful road adj
mits of little doubt. There is nc
doubt either, apparently, that il

The Ultimatum Of the Operators

The joint conference of mine
workers and operators of Dis
trict No. 10 which met in Knox
vile adjourned Friday evening.

demanding a reduction of Z per
cent. in the wage scale, will be
submitted to the various unions
throughout the district for vote
to be taken on Sept. II, On
Sept. % the district United Mine
Workers officers will meet in
Knoxville and canvass the vote.
On the following day a joint
committee of operators and min
ers will meet there, when the re-
suit of the vote will be announc-
ed. If u majority of the unions
vote .favorably to a reduction
then q contract for the ensuing
year will be drawn up and sign
ed. If q majority of the unions
vote against the reduction then a
strike will be declared. In the
meantime the men are to work.
If the reduction is accepted they
will be paid according to that
scale. If the reduction is not
accepted then the men will be
paid according to the old scale
up to the time that they walk out,

Non-union Men Strike.

About 900 men went on strike
in the Coal Creek district Fri
day morning, augmenting the
number of strikers to 1850.
Every mine in that district is
closed, with the exception of the
Slateston Mine of the Knoxville
Iron Company. The operators
presented the new wage scale to
the miners, making reduction
of about Is per cent. The miners
refused to accept the reduction
and failed to return to work.
Ten mines, including the two
mines of the Coal Creek Coal
Company, which suspended
Sept. 1st, are now idle in this
district. OF the number four
are non-union. Efforts are berhg
made to organize the non-union

Bitten by a Copperhead.

Will Jones, aged % years, liv-
ing three miles South of Dresden,
was bitten by a cOpperhead
snake near his home Saturday
morning in the foot. His leg
swelled up as large as his body
and he has lived so far through
terrible agony. By use Of copi-
Gus draughts of whiskey the pa
tient was finally made drunk,
and will now, perhaps, recover.
He was squirrel hunting in the
bottom near his home barefooted
and while walking through the
thicket was bitten. Before he
could get home his foot had
swollen so that he could hardly
walk, and he dragged himself
some fifty yards and notified his
people that he was hurt and fol-
them to come to his assistance.

and Walter Redwine painfully
wounded at Chilhowee Park in
Knoxville. A Labor Day cele-
bration was in progress. They
were seated in a swing, in direct
line with shooting gallery's
target when two bullets, fired
wild, tore through the side of
the building and struck them.
Redwine was shot in the right
leg, and had just exclaimed he
was shot when the second bullet
came which cost Miss McFaul
her life. She was shot through
the right arm and the bullet
penetrated both lungs and per-
haps her heart, for her death en-.
sued in a very few minutes.

were approximately: Wheeler's

in the Wheeler building, but its
origin is unknown, as no fire had
been in the house for months.
Some have suggested that match

Fight to a Finish.

Saturday at noon the time ex-
pired in which the organized
Democracy of Knox county gave
the opposition or Bate Democrats
to compromise the differences in
this county, and the proffer of
the organization Democrats was
ignored. This means that the
fight until November will be to
finish, with the chances now in
favor of the organization or
"ring" ticket. This ticket is
headed by L. d. Tyson for the
State Senate from Knox County
and with r. A. Brown, N. N.
Osborne and John p. Murphy
for the Lower House, and A. S.
Birdsong for Floater from Knox
and London counties. The other
or Bate ticket is headed by Je.
rome Templeton for the State
Senate, and for the Lower House
from Knox County, G. F. Mel
len, Abe Maxey and S. B. Nc
Kinney, and for Floater from
Knox and London counties, W
@. Cannon of London County.
The issue in Knox County il
the main will be the fight oveI
the legislative ticket, and it il
regarded that everything els'
will be neglected. The "ring'
will make a desperate effort t.
elect the ticket, as it is regarded
that this is the life or death O
the organized Democracy in tina
county, and if the ring ticket i
defeated, that the county i
practically turned over to tn
Republicans, as the Bate Dem
ocracy Of the county has no or
ganization to speak of, and tn

Fine Barn and Contents Burned,

Monday afternoon about 6
O'Clock, during a heavy electric
storm, lightning set fire to the
barn of I. l.. Huffman, entirely
consuming it and it's contents.
The barn was a very fine one,
having been built on q model
and expensive plan, costing
81, 900, and contained Mr.. Huff
mans entire crop of wheat and a
large amount of corn, hay and
oats, besides all his farming inn
plements. Six thousand dollars
is a light estimate to place on
the loss, with but $4,000 insur-
ance.
