Ny masters, would you know her name,
The land that knows her sway?
Not one OF you, wnate'er his fame,
But owned her rule one day.
Not one of you grown cold and wise
But one day thrilled TO see
The royalty of her girl eyes,
Her tender majesty.
First Love, her name, my masters, is,
And long her reign in truth

The bedbug, owing to the nature OF its relations
with human beings, enjoys exceptional facilities
for CARRYING diseases from person to another.
1t seems to be accountable, at all events to some
extent for the spread of that horrid and d1stgur-
ing complaint lupus, or skin tuberculosis, in Coom-
bia and in the same country it is accused OF trans
hitting the infection of 1eprosy The suggestion
has even been made that it is agent for the dis
tribution of cancer-the most mysterious OF NAL
aides respecting the of which the Wlsest
investigators have been unable to find out any
thing definite or satisfactory But as yet the
charges against the bedbug, however plausible,
remain improved.
Housewives since time immemOrial have con-
graduated themselves the fact that the bedbug
cannot fly. Unfortunately, have news fur
nished officially by the Bureau of Entomology at
Washington that this gratifying deficiency does
not exist in a giant species which IS now on its way

Under ordinary circumstances it lives
in crevices in the bark of trees, but at
night, attracted by lights, it enters the
windows of houses.
The conviction of a certain species
of mosquito, called .Steg0myd, as the
responsible agent in the case of yellow
fever was accomplished by DR.. Walter
Reed, a surgeon in the United States
army, who, soon after the close OF the
war with Spain, conducted in Cuba
series of remarkable experiments. tie

small frame house, in which for several
weeks seven men of the hospital corps
dwclt The building was purposely
ill-ventilatcd, lack of plenty of fresh
air having been regarded by many
authorities as conducive to injection
by yellow fever, and all of the bed
clothes used, as we'll as the mattresses,
were from the yellow-fever hospitals in
Havana-soiled and in every way un-
clean, just as they came from the beds
Of sufferers from the disease.
In short, everything imaginable was
done to create conditions favorable to
infection, barring only one point-the
windows of the house were securely
screened against mosquitoes. Never

of whom, by the way, actually wore
night -shirts, unWashcd, that had been
taken from yellow-fever patients
attacked by the malady. 1t was
pretty good evidence in favor of DR..
Reeds theory that mosquitoes alone
were accountable for the distribution
of the dreaded yellow jack"
To clinch the case, another house
was built not far away from the first
one. 1t was so constructed as to
consist of two halves-One part well
ventilated and provided with clean
bed-clothes which had been specially
disinfected by steam, but without
screens in the windows; the other part
lacking in ventilation and cleanliness,
but made mosquito-proof In each
half seven men were lodged for some
weeks. OF those who occupied the
mosquito-proof part not one was at
tackled by yellow fever; out of the
seven in the other part of the house
SIX came down with the disease.

SANTA BARBARA P0L0ISTS
ARE NOW THE CHAMPIONS

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 30.-Twen-
ty-five hundred people saw Santa Bar
bara polo team defeat Los Angeles
team this afternoon for. the polo cham
pionship Of Southern California. The
score was to and 1t took four periods
of whirlwind polo for the home team
to do the trick. At commencement of
the last period score was to and ex-
citement along the side lines during
the last ten minutes play was intense.
Three times Santa Barbara missed
comparatively easy chances to break
tie, and then locals played the ball
almost on the line, there was a wild
scrimmage, o forest Of whirling
strikes and somehow the ball was
through. When the gong sounded the
close of the game a minute or so later
the crowd broke loose and cheered the
winners to the echo.
It was great game from start to
finish and very much closer one than
was generally expected. The issue was
In doubt until time had been called in
the last period, the Los Angeles men
fighting desperately to capture cham
pionship and the locals riding and hit
ting hard to make winning score, and
afterward to keep their opponents from

DETROIT WINS FIRST RACE
OF Upton CUP SERIES
AVERAGES A LEG IN ADVANCE or
DEFENDER
said TO Be a Chance to Protest Race
on Account Of Winning Yacht
Carrying Larger Crew Than Is Al
lowed by Rules
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 9O.-with the time
limit extended to four hours the San
Diego and Los Angeles yachts that are
entered for the Upton cup managed
to finish today, the first race Of the
series. The Detroit came home well
in the lead. On an average throughout
the race she was nearly 81 "leg" in adj
vance of her most formidable rival, the
Butcher Boy. The big scow's crew ap-
peared much elated over their success,
and the members ran up a broom to
the masthead and cheered themselves
hoarse.
The cup defender Butcher Boy
crossed the finish line IA minutes 20
seconds corrected time) after the De-
troit and 5 minutes 5S seconds ahead
of the Mischief. The Venus found her
self out of the running early in the
race. Her best footing is with a
spanking breeze, but there was nothing
approaching one on the triangular six
miles and repeat course off Coronado
today. On the contrary the racers
were at times becalmed. So the Venus
did not even go over the course once,
but broke off and turned homeward.
The defender Nackey too, became dis
couraged and left the race, although
not as early as the Venus.
Time, start: Detroit 1:00:21, Mischief
1:O1:43, Butcher Boy 1:0o:27, Venus
1:01:27, Nackey 1:04:40.
First round-Detroit 2:18:23, Mischief
2:55:26, Butcher Boy 2:53:4S, Nackey
3:39:45.
Second round-Detroit .4:39:09, Mis-
chief 5:0S:46, Butcher Boy 5:07:39.
Corrected time-Detroit, 3:3S:4S, Mis-
chief 359:15, Butcher Boy S:53:17
It is said tonight that there is q
chance to protest the race on the
ground that the Detroit carried one
more man than the rules permit. In
view of her overwhelming success,
however, 1t is doubted that any protest
will be entered.

BRITT-NELS0N RECEIPTS
MAY REACH ABOVE $4,000

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. SO.-There
are indications that the attendance at
the Britt-Nelson fight at Colma Sep
tember 9 will be the greatest in the
history of pugilism in this state. Most
of the seats held by the club have
been taken up and it would not excite
surprise If the gate exceeded $4,000.
The fact that the day is legal holi-
day in this state in measure explains
the unprecedented advance sale. Both
Britt and Nelson are practically at
weight and are merely keeping on edge
for their meeting. Nelson has shifted
his quarters to this side of the bay,
the hot weather at Larkspur having
caused him to lose flesh at a faster
rate than. was beneficial.

Catalogue Houses.

The following from the Vermillion
Republican is as applicable to Custer as
Vermillion:
Every mail that comes to this town
brings numerous catalogues, and many
Of them beautifully and artistically IL
lustrated, from the large Wholesale and
retail stores of the cities. They are re-
ceived by the town people and farmers.
Did you ever stop to think of the real
purport of these catalogues7 They are
merely advertisements Of firms that have
goods to sell. At hons we have two
live newspapers maintained largely by
she business men Of Vermilion. In
these you all will find advertisements
calling your attention to things our home
merchants have to sell. Do not let out
siders tsaw your trade away from home
as long as you can find what you want
at home. Remember your home mer-
chant helps to build your school houses,
your churches, helps to maintain your
ministers his business house helps TO
beautify your town; he is present when
your town wants waterworks, lights,
sidewalks, etc; he is present with do
nation if you are sick gives you credit
you are in need and in numerous
other ways is indispensable to our town.
Look at the question fairly aud you will
give him the first chance, at least, to
supply you. Montgomery Ward & Co.,
Sears, Roebuck & Co, T. M. Roberts,
and houses of such like may be all right,
If you think so,-but what do they do
to merit portion of your trade? Do
they pay any county taxes do they pay
city taxes; do they even contribute one
cent to the building of your town in any
wayH Do they come to your assistance
if sick or offer you credit if in need ?
Stick to your home merchant. Heed his
advertising for your trade. You will be
far ahead"

Infected Cattle.

A Pierre correspondent says that prob
ably the most important matter before
the legislature is the question of eradi-
eating Texas itch and other diseases
with which a considerable proportion of
the cattle in several sections of the state
have become infected through importa-
tions. At present this state 10 under
quarantine for itch by the agricultural
department of the general government,
and that one of the states leading indus
tries should be in such a position is a
matter of grave concern. Owing to the
quarantine the general government has
established inspectors at various points,
but the number of these is inadequate,
and shippers from non-infected districts
are subject to annoying delays by reason
of the fact that the inspectors cannot be
in more than one place at time.
The disease, which has so seriously
affected the profits of the cattle raisers,
and which will affect them still more if
it is not speedily eradicatsd, was import
ed from Texas and has gained hold in
some places that would not be suspected.
Fortunately il is easily cured, the treat
ment of cattle with bath ofheatsd lime
and sulphur solution, the formula for
which has been prepared by the agricul
tural department being specific. Most
Of the large cattle owners, in fact all OF
them, have taken steps to free their
herds from the disease, but many small
owners, farmers, are not in position to
give the treatment unaided In fact
some Of the latter do not know that their
cattle have the disorder until it is point
cd out to them by the buyers or others.
A bill now pending provides for COM
pulsory dipping, the tanks to be provid-
ed by townships or commissioner dis
tricts. Parties who wish TO use these
tanks will be privileged to do 30, and in
the event that the owner of infected
cattle refuses to dip, it is made the duty
Of the authorities to treat the animals at
the tanks and assess the cost sgainst the
owner as q tax.
The compulsory dipping feature is
likely to meet with considerable opposi-
ton from the southern portions of the
state, but it is believed this opposition
can be allayed by giving the state veter-
marian power to exempt unaffected lo-
calities from the operation Of the law.

Our "Pura,, Food.

In his demonstration before the joint
session of the legislature last week pro-
fessor Shepard, chemist for the food COM
missioner, made some startling revela-
tions. With the coal tar dye extracted
from pint bottle of port wine taken
from the original package he dyed a
brilliant "wine color" nine square feet
Of heavy wooden cloth. Solomon knew
what he was talking about when he
warned his public ito look not upon the
wine when it is red" From bottle Of
MRS. Jones homemads tomato catchup"
he extracted enough coal tar dye to il
Illuminate nine square feet of wooden
cloth. Two square yards Of flannel were
dyed from a single bottle of pop. A
bottle of lemon extract dyed three
square feet Of white flannel. Many
other equally startling facts were devel-
oped.

Feeling of Confidence.

There is more attention directed to-
wards the Black Hills at the present
time than ever before, SAYS the Rapid
City Journal. That is, more attention
from sources which are likely to benefit
the Hills in the development of the nat
ural resources. Men with money with
an inclination to invest it in mining and
other property arrive every few days.
More quietinvestigation into the chances
for profitable investment is being con-
Quoted now than at any previous time.
The times when eastern people believed
that the Hills was country in which
neither life nor money was safe have
passed away. 1t has been demonstrated
clearly that money has been made here,
and that in pursuit of it people are as
well protected as elsew here. The knowl-
edge Of these facts is bringing to the
Black Hills class of people never be-
fore largely represented here. Develop
ments of the past few months indicate
strongly that many mines of the Hills
which have lain idle and unproductive
may be worked with profit. Investiga.
tion into the various mineral deposits of
the country have resulted most satisfac-
torily. There is feeling of general
confidence that the next few years will
make great change for the better in the
country's prosperity. There is more
reason than ever before for the resident
of the Black Hills to believe he has set
his stakes in the very best country in
the great northwest.

Was not Murder.

The bodies of Henry and Richard
Cain, who have been living near Pactola
for great many years, were found on
! Friday morning Of last week near the
Tamarack mine, about fifteen miles west
Of Rapid City, on the road to Pactola.
The discovery was made by James Cor
don, one of their neighbors, who was on
his way to Rapid City. The finding OF
| the bodies created considerable excite
ment throughout the Hills, 1t was at
first thought that the two men were
clubbed to death on their way home,
but after further examination, and from
the fact that the coroners inquest brought
out nothing that would tend towards
murder, that theory has been practically
abandoned. James Gordon was the first
| one to discover the bodies of the two
men, when be was driving towards Ra-
pid City, Friday morning. He met the
team belonging to the two men, about
two miles from where the wful accident
occurred. On reaching the bodies, he
found one about one hundred feet from
the other, and both on the same side of
the road. From appearances one had
been dragged about twenty feet. The
strongest evidence that the theory of
murder was abandoned on, is the fact
that ninety dollars in gold was found in
the pockets of Richard Cain There are
still many puz"iing features about the
case, which will in all probability be
cleared up. When the men left town
they appeared to be quite sober, and it
is also understood that they drew from
the bank about $3.50, with which they
purchased groceries and other materials,
for domestic use.
On their way home Thursday night
they met a neighbor, whom they Of
fered drink of whiskey, and then threw
away the bottle. He also stated that
they did not seem to be under the inf
ence of liquor at the time, but were not
entirely free from it, so that ifthe horses
should have become frightened at some
thlHB auu given huuueH lurCn, III WOulQ
have thrown the men out, and they
striking in such manner as to kill them
both. Henry Cain, who was driving,
was seriously hurt on the left side of the
face, and the blow which caused Rich
ards death was on the right side. From
this fact it seems clear that both men fell
in opposite directions, and Henry who
was driving was sitting on the right side
Of the wagon.
There was in all four of the Cain
brothers residing in the vicinity of Pac-
tola, one of them being away on a visit
There is also sister in Kansas.
Atthe coroners inquest it was found
that the brothers had sustained a good
many broken bones, one of them hav-
ing his neck broken. All the evidence
in the case that could be produced
showed that the men were drunk and
accidentally fell out of the wagon.
There was no evidence whatever that
murder was committed.

Of broken pipes.
Harry Francis has a force of men at
work at his pyrite mine on Spring creek,

acid.
The Honestake Mining company has
declared dividend for this month, OF
twenty-five cents on the share, to be
payable on the 25th. 1t has been ru-
mored that the company would pay
double dividend or an increased one, but
this will not take place until March.
They have closed the transfer books, and
the same will not be open until after
this months dividend has been paid.
1t is received from reliable sources that
in March the dividend will be doubled.
