Good Spirits.

Good spirits don't all come from Ken

and all the fine spirits ever made in the
Blue Grass State could not remedy a bad

and a bad liver at the same time. Your
liver must be in fine condition if you
would feel buoyant, happy and hopeful

your liver in fine condition by using

The case Of DIR. Chambers against
Henry Mittnacht, and the Pittsburg
Mining company, tried at the last term
of circuit court has been decided by
Judge MCGEE. The fact seems to be
that Chambers and Mittnacht jointly
undertook to sell the Kimble mining
ground at Tigerville. Mr.. Mittnacht
sold the property to the Pittsburg Min
ing company and denied Chambers right
to share in the profits. The findings are
general for the plaintiff, and an account
ing is ordered before Judge Feay as ref
cree. DR.. Chambers is to receive half
the profits on the deal, which appear to
run up well in round numbers.

James Petty, a rancher living about
ten miles southeast of Hot Springs, was
killed last Monday by falling from a
load of posts while he was several miles
from home. His 16-year-old son was
with him on the load when the accident
occurred, but he jumped off when his
father fell and witnessed the accident.
The team ran away and being in the.
woods all alone the boy had to leave his
dead father and walk three miles to the
nearest rancher and get a team. He
then took his fathers remains to Hot
Springs.

If the predictions of Prof. Hicks come
true, the remainder Of the month OF
April will prove almost n continuous
round of storms of one nature and an
other. Warm weather is predicted from
the 18th to the 18th. Thunder and hail
storms are due on the 2lst, 22nd and
23rd, followed by cold weather and
frosts. One of the most violent storm
periods of the month extends from about
the 26th to the Goth. Very general and
severe storms at this time are more than
probable. The month will go out with
high barometer, cold winds and frosty
nights northward. The month of May
promises the heaviest rains and most
violent storms of the present season.
June will probably have sufficient rain
for the crops for the time being, but
many western and northern parts will
have none t o spare. He believes that
drouth will be felt in more or less Sc
verify over much of the western grain
belt before the season ends.

Mr.. f. M. Barnes. Of the Central
Black Hills Copper Company, arrived
in Custer the latter part of last week,
accompanied by Capt. Edward Farroer,
a prominent mining engineer Of New
York, who came to look over the COM
pany's property. If a favorable conclu-
clusion is reached the company will star
work on the property On a grand scale.
The claims are situated about fifteen
miles northwest from Custer and the
mines are considered very meritorious,
not as a high grade proposition but as a
large vein of low grade copper and gold
ore which can be reduced very cheaply
and made to pay a large and steady
dividend.
