"GIve Us a Call. -"

The following words by Ella Wheeler,
Wilcox were suggested by seeing the
above words in a saloon advertisement;
Give us a call! We keep good beer
Wine, brandy and whiskey here.
Our doors are open to boys and men,
And even to women, now and then.
We tighten their purses, we taint their
breath,
We swell up the columns of awful deaths.
All kinds of crimes we sell for dimes
In our sugar'd poisons, so sweet to taste.
If you have money, position or time to
waste,
Give US call.
Give us a call! In pint of our gin
We sell more wickedness shame and sin
Than score of clergy men, preaching all
day,
From dawn to darkness could preach
away.
And in our beer Though it may take
longer
To get men drunk than drinks that are
stronger.)
We sell out poverty, shame and woe;
Who wants to purchase? Our prices
are low,
Give US call.
Give us call! We1i dull your brains
And give you headache and racking pains,
Wen make you old, while you yet are
young;
To lies and slander, we Il train your tongue
Well make you shirk from all useful
work,
Make theft and forgery seem fair play,
And murder pastime sure to pay.
Give us a call.
Give US a CALI We are cunning and wise.
We are bound to succeed, for we advertise
In the family papers, the journals that
claim
To be pure 10 morals and fair in fame.
Husband, brothers and sons will read
Our kind invitations, and some will heed
And give us call
We pay for the space in the papers we
And there's little in life that money
wont buy.

cup,
Or lose your soul in the flowing bowl
And covet shame and blasted name

DEADWooD TAKES EXCEPTIONS.
Social Plane of Mining Town Higher
Than New York.

Deadwood. S. D., July 12.-Deadwood
for so long the premier mining camp,
resents with all the force of it's native
strength the inSinuation of Assistant
District Attorney Mott OF New York
that it is now or ever was below or IN
g. level with the ungodly metropolis OF
which he is a representative.
When Harry Thaw was remanded to
the Tombs for the murder of Stanford
White, Attorney Mott in response to
q question said:
what is there in this case? 1t Is
simply a question of whether New
York has gone down to the level of a
mining camp OF whether a man has
got a chance for his life
The vices of a mining camp are
open; no n axes advantage of the
innocent and helpless. The typical
ciubman," whose prey is young girls,
would not last thirty minutes in a
mining camp There is no place in he
world so safe for a woman as one of
these camps and not even the streets
of New York or the studios Of the
wealthy men can afford the protection
for a girl that is secured in the un-
combed, unkempt camps of Deadwood.
Whats that o say" asked Dead
wood Dick, the report of whose death
been greatly exaggerated. Why,
New York is at the bottom of Dead
woods deepest mine shaft: you might
say down TO the 400 level. Out here
we know what's going on and regulate
it; they're assassins down there. This
yere Deestrict Attorney Mott better
come west and see a moral town once
before he shoots off any more. I'd like
to go down there and learn him a cou-
pie o. things"

LION IS CAPTIVATED

New York Woman Has Narrow
Escape From Death in Re-

KEPT CAPTIVE ALL MIGHT
With Paw on Her Breast, Huge Noun
tain Beast Forces Mrs. Under
wood to Sing Throughout
the Night,

Deadwood, s. D., July 13.-Kept a cap
tive through an entire night by a ferocious
mountain lion, and saved from a horrible
death only by her singing. was the terrible
experience Of Mrs. John Underwood, who,
with her family, was camping on the
banks OF Iron creek near Earney peak,
one Of the Widest regions OF the Black
Hills.
Mr.. and Mrs. Underwood. with their
three children, came recently from New
York, Mr.. Underwood to look after some
mining interests and the family to enjoy
the novelty OF camp life. Just before sun
down Mrs. Underwood started from camp
alone to meet her husband, VINO was com
ing from the mine. Not being familiar
with the country she was soon hopelessly
lost. The night falls suddenly among
these mountains, and Just as the last flick
err Of daylight vanished she was startled
by a frightful scream behind her and at
the same moment was borne 20 the ground
by an immense Ion.
The fall did not hurt her, but as the wild
eyed animal stood over her and she real
lied her probable fate, she screamed In
terror. The lion lifted his head at the
sound of the echo which her voice awak-
ened, and as she saw that his
was attracted, It came TO her mind that
sne nad reau OF WHO dnlmdlS DSluB SUI
dued by the sound OF a human voice.
She began to sing, first In a faltering
and uncertain voice, but afterwards more
steadily and clearly as she found that she
could effectually distract the beast.
Through the chill night of the mountains
she sang. now gayly, now desperately, all
the songs she had ever heard, while the
immense cat lay In apparent content with
one huge paw stretched over her holding
her In a vise-like grip. She had
farther from the beaten path than she
had realized and it was not until the day
began to break that Mr.. Underwood, guild
ed by the sound of her voice. found his
imprisoned wife.
A carefully directed shot from his rife
brought a speedy death to the lion and
Mrs. Underwood was rescued, thoroughly
unnerved from her nights experiences but
otherwise unframed. The lion measured
eight feet from tip to tip n weighed not
less han a hundred pounds. Mr.. and
Mrs. Underwood broke camp the following
day and with their family returned east.
This Is the first lion that has been seen
In the southern hills for years, and the
supposition is tina IT. had become enraged
from hunger, as it is a very unusual thing
for one of these cougars to attack a per-
son.

GOOD GROWING WEATHER.

Huron, S. D., July 1S.-Following +
the synopsis Of the official weather and
crop bulletin for the last week, issued
from the Office in this city:
Light showers were fairly general on
Monday, the I'd inst, but after that
date there was practically no rain, eX-
cept light amounts in several widely
scattered localities. There was an
abundance Of sunshine. Rain is needed
in some parts Of the Black Hills dis
trict and also in a few scattered east
ern localities, and over a large area
ain ould at this time be acceptable.
While the NEAR temperature for the
state averaged a little below the nor
NAL for the week, the days were mostly
warm. On the whole, the nights av-
eraged moderately cool. The maximum
temperature Of the week ranged from
10 to 81 degrees, and the minimum
temperature from As to So degrees, ac-
cording to the reports received.
Except in the localities where rain is
NEEDED, the reports generally indicate
that good growing weather prevailed,
and the conditions were, on the whole,
favorable for outdoor work.

OLD FRElGHTER RISES
ROM WATERY GRAVE
North Alabama, Sunk in Big Muddy
Below vermiIIion in 1870, Appears
Above Surface of Waters.

Vermillion, s. D., July 13.-The river
steamer North Alabama, which struck
a snag in h Missouri six miles below
Vermillion thirty-six years & this
month and sank to the bottom Of the
treacherous stream, together with a
very valuable cargo, yesterday was
seen rising above the murky waters of
the Big Muddy, and crowds Of sight
seers are flocking to the bank to see
the old boat that has been stranded
for SO long.
The steamer sank in 1870 while
transporting a cargo Of Jour and
whisky from Sioux City to the yell
lowstone district, and while the older
residents remember the incident of its
sinking, 1t had passed from their minds
until the old ship began to rise from
its watery grave.
There were fifty barrels Of fine old
whisky aboard the craft and none of
Ii was ever recovered, and 1t is quite
probable that a search of the Did
freighter will now be made in an at
tempt TO find the liquor, which would
certainly look good to a lover of that
thirst destroyer with its added age of
thirty-six years.
