Died.

At the home of the parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. Z. Perrin, in Custer City, on the
morning of the 25th of April, 1904, Ray
mond, aged q years, and Mildred, in
fant daughter, aged l6 months. The
disease was malignant scarlet fever, and
they were both buried in one grave at
the dead of night, with no more attend
ants than were necessary to perform the
sad Offices of interment.
The house has been quarantined and
every precaution taken to prevent the
spread of the disease. 1t is a sad, sad
thing and the bereaved parents will have
the sympathy of this community in this
hour of their heart rending affliction.

Worth Reading.

In all the Baking Powder "Wars" that
have been intermittently waged in the
last twenty years, there is one point that
has been overlooked by the belligerent
makers of these goods. Rival manufac-
turers have contended themselves with
accusing their competitors of making an
unwholesome product. The question of
keeping quality, and, therefore, effici
ency in raising bread, the only purpose
for which baking powder is used, ap-
pears to have been generally ignored.
fresh, and the can is first uncovered, will
do fairly good work, but after standing
for some time on the pantry shelf, the
powder becomes so weak as to be almost
worthless as far as raising bread is con-
cerned. This is especially true in the
case of the so called "Phospate" pow
ders, which, were it not for this fatal
defect, would be satisfactory baking pow
ders. The unsuccessful attempts to over
come this fault Of the "Phospate" pow
ders has enlisted the services of more
chemists and cost more money than the
solution of any other problem connected
with the raising of bread The makers
of these phosphate" powders raise a
great cry about the wonderful healthful-
ness of their product, but what matters
all this if the powder will not fulfill the
only object for which it is purchased ?
The housewife to whom economy is an
object will avoid these phosphate" pow
ders.

For several years Rapid City has been
working in connection with Pierre to
bring about the construction of a rail.
road from Aberdeen to this city. Both
cities have expended thousands of dol
lars in furtherance of the project. We
are apparently on the eve eofaccomplish-
ing our purpose. 1t is confidently be-
lieved that had it not been for capital
removal agitation, work would now be
in progress, but we and the rest of the
state are sufferers by reason of it. If
the capital should be removed that would
make our undertaking so much the more
difficult and would postpone its accom- .
plishment to later day. A good deal
has been said about being fair to Pierre.
Tote fair with Pierre" is the text of one
writer; but We say, tote fair with Rapid
City that has thousands of dollars in the
railroad project mentioned above. Tote
fair with the Black Hills and give us a
chance. We have profound confidence
in the intelligence and fairness of the
people of this state, and for that reason,
If for no other, We are confident that
they will vote down removal and crown
Pierre again as the permanent capital OF
the state of South Dakota. This talk
about Mitchell being the center of popu-
lation is all rot. She is the center of
nothing, excepting trouble, expense and
defamation of this part of the state

The president has signed the bill open
ing 10000 acres of the Rosebud Indian
reservation. The bill was signed in
the presence of the South Dakota
delegation, which has worked unceasing-
ly during the session for its passage. 1t
is expected that the reservation will be
opened during the summer and that
there will be great rush for lands. This
is supposed to be body of land equal to
the best in the state. But the people of
the Hills will not be in any hurry to
leave their mountain homes for any fiat
prairie that ever laid out of doors. Con-
gress has also passed an additional home
stead bill whereby man can take $40
acres of land in western Nebraska and
Wyoming. But this applies to land that
is seldom visited by rain, and cannot be
irrigated. 1t is all right for sheep.
