THE BAIT is TEMPTING
Have Association for Protection Which
Offers Reward for Thieves-Many
Bad Men Give Evidence
Against Their Pals.

Topbar, s. d.. Sept. 14.-Angered by
the continued the. of cattle and horses,
the ranchmen residing in this part of
Stanley county have adopted II new
method of tracing the 'rustlers' so
they may be brought to justice.
In the past 1t has been customary
for cattle and horse r~aisers, when their
herds have been raided. to offer min
imum rewards for the detection of the
thieves and ecovery of the stolen ami
mails. These rewards have not been
large enough to tempt weakened
members of the gang of thieves to be
tray their pals. and the result has been
that the thcftS nave continued.
1t Is c~onservatively estimated that
during the past year a sufficient num-
Der of horses alone TO mount a small
army have been stolen from the ranch
men living in this and other parts of
Stanley county.
Under the leadership of A. j. Hauge,
one of the most prominent ranchmen in
the county, a new method is now to bs
adopted. which it is hoped will have
good results. Recently Mr.. Hauge had
three head of horses stolen, and instead
of Offering the customary paltry re-
ward OF s25 or $50 for Information which
would lead to the recovery of the ami
mails and detection of the thieves. he
has offered a reward of $500 for the
arrest and conviction of the person or
persons who stole the horses.
1t Is believed that the offering of a
reward of this size will some
of HI "rustlers' to give away their
pards, and that by this means horse
and cattle 'rustling' in Stanley county
VIII become a thing of the past as in
Lyman county. where a vigorous and
persistent crusade against the thieves
has reduced thefts to the minimum.
The legitimate cattle and horse rails
ers will also endeavor to discourage the
practice of some of the ranchmen. who.
when called upon. hav not hesitated
to furnish bonds for those who are ar
rested on the charge of stealing horses
and cattle.

Apes a. Cashiers!

From the Lahore Tribune
In Siam apes are now employed as
cashiers. A yea or two & much base
coin was circulated by a clique OF coin
ers. and the tradesmen found that It
was a very difficult matter to discrim-
mate between good n bad money.
One large store kept a pet monkey,
and one morning he was seen to take
a coin from the cashiers desk and put
1t between his teeth. After biting IL for
some moments he threw 1t on the floor
with a solemn grimace of dissatisfac-
ton.
ed h monkey another coin, and after
testing 1t with great elaboration he
laid II on the cashiers desk.
Apparently the creature could tell a
counterfeit coin from a good one, and
in order to ascertain whether other
monkeys had the same extraordinary
gift a couple Of apes belonging 20 "A zoo
were given the test, with satisfactory
results. From that day the majority OF
the business houses in Siam AVE kept
monkeys as cashiers. and the gifted
creatures have developed the faculty OF
discrimination between good and bad
coin to such perfection that no human
being can ompete with them.
A little while ago a monkey employed
by a firm of clothiers died. and his cof-
fin, which was of polished oak, was
conveyed to the cemetery in an open
hearse. was followed by all the cashier
monkeys in Siam.

Winter Quarters in the Antarctic.

In Harper's for September, DR.. Charcot,
chief Of the French South Polar expedi-
tion. tells interestingly OF how he pre-
pared to meet the winter at Wandel ISL
and:
1.-The work of installing ourselves in
winter quarters began at once. The boat
was locked along a rocky cliff covered
with ice. in a little harbor which looked
as II 1t were cut to order. Hawsers and
chains were attached to blocks OF granite
from the ships PROV and stern. The PROV
was aground, and the taffrail Of the stern
wal protected by a girdle of casks. The

which bring in the storms and great guam
titles of ice from the open sea. We also
built a dam across the harbor by means Of
. raft and anchor-chain, which, held up
about a metre from the surface, was sub
tected from time to time to considerable
pressure. This dam had the double ad-
vantage of offering resistance to the big
blocks of ice coming from the sea AND Of
keeping in the harbor smaller fragments
OF ice. which then served as a kind Of
buner. But even so. we had to endure at
times shocks from blocks of Ice weighing
several tons, which as they were brought
IN by the storms, struck out ship like
battering-rams.
After accommodating the country the
station was quickly completed. 1t was
necessary to take advantage of the SUM-
Nght, Tor inclemcnt days were numerous.
AS early as the 14th of March lamps had
to be lit at Z o'clock. We built a road with
hard blocks of snow to make our access
to land more easy. The portable house
was put up in the valley, against the hill.
Al side a shed was built; then a large
ditch dug in the ice and covered with
canvas served as our food-dock. The pro-
visions were stored there in snow houses,

One of the most remarkable cures

not been down since. In four weeks
from the time l started taking them I

N NATURAL GAS.
Company Being Organized at Mario.

Some twelve or fifteen years Is a flow
of natural gas was discovered on a
farm eight miles west of Marion juno

reason the report of the discovery was
silenced and was thought by many to
have been II of those boom agitations.
During the past few weeks there
have been reports of the finding OF
natural gas in large quantities in the
Silver Lake region of Turner and
Hutchinson counties. and while 1t has
been rumored that numerous strangers
have recently visited and investigated
that region, still but few thought Of
taking the matter seriously until last
week.
Secretary of State d. d. Wipf. a
resident of Hutchinson county, n a
number of Pierre people came to Dol
ton asst Friday and after giving the
matter careful investigation concluded
that there is natural gas in that vicin-
ity and that its development was pos
sible, in fact it is assured by specialists
that it can be secured without any
very great expenditure of money. A
number of capitalists, headed by Mr..
Wipf, after making the preliminary
arrangements with a humble Of the
land owners. organized a company and
have Incorporated under the laws OF
South Dakota, with the intention of inn
mediately sinking wells and securing
apparatus.
1t is rumored that the company in
tend to have a supply of the gas ready
for commercial use during the next
thirty days, and as soon as possible it
will be piped to the adjacent towns,
where 1t may be secured very cheaply
for lighting and heating purposes.
Since a number Of able men have taxi
en- hold of the enterprise it is certainly
genuine and its success is assured,
which will materially aid the people OF
