A Warming.

This office is in receipt of com
munication Of utmost Importance
from Col. Richard Lee, who is now
at Hermosa, S. D. Some two weeks
ago the Col. was jailed at Lead City
and brought up before the board of
insanity and they pronounced him
perfectly sane, which the following
will prove:
Editors of the Union:
Dear Sirs:-I make this statement
for my friends. The board of in
sanity asked me why I shouted on
the street and l replied that l bad
shouted all my life, because 1 had a
reserve of health and was happy
was always full of life. They asked
me if | drank whiskey and | replied
that l never drank Or used Tobacco
or cigars. The board Immediately
said that was only man of pecu-
liar temperament. Yours,
RICHARD LEE.
We are sure of the correctness of
the findings of the board and the
statement made by the gentleman
and we have discovered an under
current to the affair that we mean to
lay bare to the public and show the
methods employed by the "system"
and their "frenzied" way of treat
ing men who toll as the Col. does
The Col. is the possessor of mines,
properties and gold veins of change
able magnitude in the Colonel's own
vivid descriptions. Now here comes
the System" who's champions are
dob" Grow OF Lead, Chill" Bon
ham of Deadwood, "Bob" Carr OF
Whitewood, "Charlie" Moody of
Sturgis, and a few more of their
hirelings, to wrench from the hands
of this man-and others-bis valua-
BILE possessions. We haye not been
given one cent for this "expose"
from anyone and we do not pay any
thing for the information. If we
are holders of large blocks OF the
Colonel's mine it does not change
the facts that these "frenzied and
bloated bond holders" were trying
to beat us of our rlghtful own, ow
ing to the fact, perhaps, that these
large holdings that we claim, have
mot as yet been signed overSto US.

GHOSTS"

Henrik Ibsen's drama, "Ghos ts'
Was produced by company under
the management Of Sanford Dodg,
Tuesday evening and headed by til,
talented emotional actress, Laur;
Frankenfield, who was supported
by Paul ferhune and Charles
Gay, two actors who are great
favorites here. Ghosts" tells Of
the sins of father which were
visited upon the son and the sor
row Of the mother in endeavorina
to cover and hide the sins of him
whom she had promised to love and
obey. Miss Frankenfield's work
was immense, in fact we believe
that no such company ever played
here before The roles were the
most difficult ones that could be
imagined and were played with all
interest on the part of the actor in
his work. Charles Gay has made us
laugh so much we we're ready to
laugh at his first appearance, but
his character did not call for it.,
and we watched for the attempt
on his part to bring a laugh, that is
SO common among the class of act
ors who visit here, but never for one
moment was his character allowed
to lapse. Gays work is superb.
Paul Terhune, we have never seen
in such a part before and bis inter-
probation CT the role was perfect.
We shall remember Terhune for a
long while. Edward Babille played
the part of the minister, but suffice
it to Say his work is true to the
character and his speech and bust
ness were without flaw. The work
OF Florence Gay in the servant role
was excellent.
Sanford Dodge is to be compli-
mented for giving US Ghosts" He
has brought together five people
who are intelligent in their parts,
who thoroughly understand their
work and what is expected of them.
If person misses Ghosts" it will
always be something to regret.

ally the ditch will be extended to
thirty miles in length,
This is one of the most important
happenings in years near this city
as the ditch, when completed, will
irrigate some thousands Of acres
and reclaim land that was though
only fit for grazing purposes.
The plan was thought of several
years ago, but has never been put
through until the present time. The
success of this ditch means much to
Rapid City which, we unders tand
is now more than assured the pro-

YELLOW FEVER
There Is No Occasion For Alarm
Rer9eraber The Lessons Of The
 Epidemic of 1893.

As We are now threatened with another visitation of the dreaded yellow fever it is well to remem- Der the experiences of the last occasion. In all sections where yellow fever made it's appear ance it will be recalled that per sons who kept their stomach, liver and bowels strong and active were not affected by the disease; while others apparently healthy were stricken down. These latter were all more or less habitually constipated, bilious or victims of bad digestion; as a re- suit the blood became impure and the vital organs were unable to resist the deadly fever germs. Now is the time to prepare for what is to follow. Get your fam fly and yourself in shape to re-
 sist the disease. You don't know when you are exposed to 1t; every man you meet may be affected, and if you put your preparations off from day to day you may be too late. The sensi- ble course is to begin at once taking Prickly Ash Bitters, that marvellous system regulator and blood purifier. Use it regularly every day. Half wine-glassful each morning after breakfast will keep your bowels open and healthy; it will also strengthen the stomach and digestion, purify the blood and by stimulating the liver and kidneys all bile and uric acid impurities will be driven out of the body. In short, it puts the system in perfect order. Remember 1898. That was d record year for Prickly Ash Bitters. In the sections where it was used the most there were fewest cases of fever. You connot do better in this hour of danger than to make use of the means which experience has proven to be the best for fight ing off this terrible scourge. 78

COTTON WORMS WORK.
Insect Plays Havoc With Cotton Near
 Arkansas River.

Pine Bluff, Aug. 5.- Since the publication several days ago of the fact that the cotton worm had made it's appearance in lief farson county many planters nave examined .heir crops and it has been found that the cot ton worm has begun it's work of
 estruction on all the farms along the river front in [ county. The worms appear only near the river, and farms remote from the river have not yet been affected. Capt. J. M. Hudson, who is a recognized critic of cot ton crops and pests, has been carrying on an investigation and he reports conditions as stated above. He has placed on exhi- bition at the board of trade a bottle containing more than a hundred of the worms which do such wholesale damage to grow ing crops. He has advised the local druggists to lay in a large supply of Paris green as there will be a big demand for poison by farmers who will attempt to destroy the pests and prevent it's spread.

ENORMOUS FEES.
Governor of ChoCtdW Nation May Get feur Million Out of indians Unless
 Roosevelt lnterferes.

Fort Lmith, Aug. 5.-It has just developed that Green Me- Curtain, governor of the Choc- Jaw Nation, who was delegated by an act passed at special ses- sion of the ChoctaW council, to wind up the affairs of Choctaws, will receive 10 per cent. of the receipts for his services.
 McCurtain is given authority t, sell segregated coal lands in the Choctaw Nation as he sees fit. The government tried twice to sell this land, but bids were not satisfactory to the Choctaws. The lowest estimate of value on the coal lands is S40,00O, 900, which would net McCurtain S4,OOO,OO0, besides fees on other tranSacClOnS.
 Efforts are being made by prominent Choctaws to have President Roosevelt veto the action of the Choctaw council and to place McCurtain on a reasonable fee for his services. Should the president uphold the action of the Choctaw council, McCurtain will continue as chief representative of the Choctaws for a number of years, although the Choctaw government was dissolved by an act of congress in March 1906.

Missed Man Struck Mule.

A few days ago while George Gibbs was blowing corn beyond Spring river, says Black Rock correspondent, he heard the corn making a noise. He looked back and saw tree falling. It missed him, but fell across his blow, breaking the beam, and killed the fine mule he was blowing with. The mule died standing on her knees, and remained in this position until the next day. Gibbs must have been stunned by lightning as he did not ap- pear to be in his right mind for several hours after the accident.

PLAY RETURN GAME.
Poplar Bluff Given Game On Home Grounds Newport Eaters Hit
 But Wouldn't Run.

The Newport team played a return engagement with Poplar Bluff Sunday afternoon, but owing to delayed trains did not each there until 4 p. m., when a large part of the crowd had dis banded.
 The score, two to one in favor of the Bluff, tells the story of a pretty stiff game, which New port promised to make interesting until the umpire took a hand. Emery knocked a three-bagger, and others lined out safe hits, but not a man ran. It seems there was no use, and the home boys knew what they were up against, and submitted in way that made the last three innings a perfect farce.
 A FALSE CHARGE.
 The Poplar Bluff Citizen, an esteemed contemporary, has been imposed upon, and pub- lished this false charge anent the last game at Newport:
 "The Popular Bluff players claim, and are corroborated by a number of reputable citizens who attended the game from this city, that the umpire dellb- erately stole the game from them and that the score should have been 3 to 5 in favor of Poplar Bluff. They say the umpire de- liberately told Dutch Wagoner that it was useless for him to work so hard, as the Newport team was going to win the last game if it took the umpire to do it, and that he (the umpire) then proceeded to give the game to Newport. '
 The inference that corrobora- tion of "reputable citizens" is necessary to father this charge certainly reflects upon the ve- racity of the team, and the Cltl- zen's ground is well taken, if the members have been in the habit of starting such fakes, The um- pire in that game was MT. I. D. Kinman, Jr.. a personal friend of MT. Bruce Hays, manager ot the Bluff team, and MT. Kin man, it seems, was commended to the team by MT. Hays as a fair and safe umpire. No New port citizen doubts but that Mir, Hays would have upheld the de- cision of the Newport umpire had he been present.
