The whirligig Of time has brought
changes Of it's own into the British ma
tional anthem. In 1745 it began:
God save great George. our kingl
The kings name was again inserted in
that second verse, which has been used
as an argument to prove that the words
were written by Ben Jonson as early as
1907 to celebrate King James rs es-
cape from the gunpowder plot:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks:
On George our hopes we fix
God save the king!
The change to the present form is:
On thee our hopes we fix,
where deity has been substituted for
majesty. There is. another rendering,
which the exigencies of the times no
longer demand:
Oh, grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bringI
May he sedition hush
And like torrent rush
Rebellious Scots to crushI
God save the king!
London Queen.

menacing female troubles cured by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound after physicians have advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first trying the Vegetable
Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, for advice, which is free.
Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Third
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,
shooting pains through the pelvic organs,
bearing down pains and cramps compelled
me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after

prepared for the occasion, giving the
history of the old church, and of the
various churches that had grown out
of it since it's founding 1913 years ago.

Concerning Oranges.

An eminent Japanese bacteriologist
has shown that the acids of lemons, APP
Dles and other fruits-Citric acid, malic
acid-are capable of destroying all
kinds of disease germs. Cholera germs
are killed in fifteen minutes by lemon
juice or apple juice, and typhoid fever
germs are killed in half an hour by
these acids, even when considerably
diluted. If you squeeze lemon into
O. glass of water containing cholera
germs and let it stand fifteen of twenty
minutes you may drink the water with
impunity, as the germs will be dead.
These juices will kill other disease
germs. Instead of telling a man to
have his stomach washed out we can
now tell him to drink orange juice,
which will cleanse the stomach as
thoroughly as stomach tube, provided
It be not a case of gastric catarrh. If
we have to deal with gastric catarrh.
In which there is a large amount O.
tenacious mucus adhering to the walls
Of the stomach, stomach tube to dis
lodge it is required, but in ordinary
cases of biliousness, foul tongue, bad
breath, sick headache and nervous
headache a fruit diet is a wonderful
purifier.

Bow Legged Men.

Do not revile the bow legged man,
for he plays an important part in the
world. 1t is estimated that 40 per cent
of mankind are bow legged, so nu-
merically this class is entitled to great
respect. Bow legs invariably accom-
pany a robust physique. We find them
one of the conspicuous features of
athletes. Comedians are almost al
ways bow legged OF the bow legged

est inhabitant the town was nearly
deserted, and because of the scarcity
of men in harvesting the good matrons
and blithesome maidens, in many in
stances impulsed by patriotic hearts,
gladly assisted in gathering and in
storing the grain. Wilmington had not
only her valiant sons in nearly all the
more noted wars of our country, but
heroic and self denying women at
home.
One incident might be here realted
furnishing an example of heroism and
true bravery in the case of woman
during the war, equal to that OF the
renowned Mrs. Bailey of Groton.
When the prospects of the country
we're the darkest, and unpropitious
events opening in the different states
during the campaign of 1871, num-
Der of soldiers who had enlisted from
Wilmington returned home to provide
for their families, from which they
had long been separated, to supply
provisions and procure a winter
stock of wood for their use. A
woman named Sanger, residing in the
northern section of the town, near the
present village of Forest Mills, upon
the arrival of her husband and sons,
who had just travelled nearly dis
tance of 200 miles from the campaign
for the above purpose, and learning
from them the loss and condition OF
the army, at time when it's services
were most demanded, urged them by
eloquent appeals to their patriotism,
and by all things sacred, to repair at
once to the army and leave the cut
ting and hauling of the winters stock
of wood to be performed by herself,
and upon the return the good woman,
with the oxen and sledge, with the
assistance of her daughters, cut and
hauled to their door an amount OF
wood sufficient for their use. L.

Bound over to Circuit Court.

VIM. o. Weaver and Mrs. Cora
Tucker, who we're arrested upon a
statutory o1fense we're tried before
Judge Applegate last Monday and
after hearing conclusive evidence of
their guilt they were bound over to
the circuit court in the sum of $500
each They are still in the hands of
the sheriff, being unable to obtain
bonds, The offense for which they were
tried was committed at Oelrichs one
night last week when they went there
on the evening train remained all
night and returned next day.
They were again arraigned for a
second offense, but waived examination
and were bound over to circuit court
Regarding the second charge we clip
the following from the Buffalo Gap
Republican,:
"Considerable excitement was occa.
stoned Thursday by the arrival of
Sheriff Clark of Fall River county
with man and woman he had found
in vacant building west of town be-
longing to j. G. Wilson. They we're a
runaway couple it seems and had left
the Springs the night before on foot
and walked to the Gap arriving in the
night and secreting themselves in this
building where they evidently intend
ed staying through the day. When
found the woman was dressed in mems
clothing. Both were married people
who had deserted their families for
each other. That night the sheriff
took them TO Hot Springs. The mans
name is OFT Weaver and the woman's
name we understand is Tucker"

NJ. Il. Church Affairs.

DR.. G. b. Clark spent Tuesday and
Wednesday in town, looking after the
closing up of the last quarter of the
NJ. e. Church affairs of this place. The

month. DR.. Clark says that church
affairs in the Black Hills district are
in a very encouraging condition, and
that Hot Springs classes we'll among
the best. The official board adopted
the following resolutions:
Whereas, The past year with the
First NJ. E. church has been one of
success, blessing and triumph, the
church property having been improv-
ed. the church grown in membership
attendance and spirituality, and the
standing debt having been materially
reduced, and almost wiped out; and,
Whereas, There is warm Christian
fellowship and sincere unity of pur-
pose between the pastor and member
ship of the church; therefore be it
Resolved. That it is the unanimous
sentiment of the quarterly meeting of
the First M. r. church of Hot Springs,
S. Oak that the Presiding Bishop of
the Black Hills Mission Conference
soon to be held at Rapid City, be re-
quested to return Rev. E. s. Chappell

Last Monday morning about four
o'clock the oldest business place in
Hot Springs went up in smoke-the
place that has been occupied by j. N.
Buchanan's blacksmith and wagon
shop having caught fire and was en-.
veloped in flames before it was dis.
covered.
The building was located at corner
of River avenue and Eighth street
and was built by Henry Marty in 1883
-23 years ago, and was first used as
saloon. 1t has since served as post
office, salvation army hall, blacksmith
shop-and probably other enterprises.
1t was owned by Art Petty and was
not insured. Mr.. Buchanan had the
contents insured for $500. 1t is sus.
pecteds that the fire was of incendiary
origin,as the day previous was Sunda Y

FditorSI1as the Las, Word.

A couple ofyears ago cranky sort
of an old man came into this office and
stopped his paper because some thing
in it did not jsst suit his fancy. We
have frequently met him ON the street
since that time, and it is amusing to us
to note the look of surprise on the old
fellows face that we are still in exis-
tence regardless of the fact that he
stopped his paper. Some day-and it
won't be long either-that old gentle
man will turn up his toes. His heart
will be stilled forever. Nelghbors and
friends will follos, his lifeless clay to
the silent city and lay him to rest
among the flowers Ap obituary will
be published in these columns, telling
what kind father, good neighbor and
beloved citizen he was-which the re-
cording angel will overlook for charity's
sake, and in very short time he will
be forgotten. AS he lies out there in
the cold, cold graveyard wrapped in
the silent slumber of death, he will not
know that the last kind word spoken
of him was by the editor of that paper
which in life he so spitefully stopped" !"

A High.Class Concert.

The concert to be given next Monday
evening by the young ladies of the
Wesleyan Concert Company will GER
tainly be we'll worth hearing. They
have returned from journey through
the Hills and at every town met with
an excellent reception and delighted
all. In speaking of their appearance
at Deadwood the Pioneer Times says:
"Miss Carrie Fargo, the pianist, is
certainly an artist at the piano, and
her selections we're rendered in man
ner seldom heard in the Hills, Miss
Fargo formerly lived in Deadwood and
is ncice of our we'll known citizen,
Alderman Fargo Of the First ward.
"Miss Anise Diers, the soprano, has
a peculiarly sweet voice of penetrat-
ing t;mbre, that could be heard dis
tinctly in all parts of the house. Her
solos met with loud applause and she
was many times encored.
"Miss Liston in her monologues fair
ly captured the house and ended in a
whirlwind of applause and laughter
from the audience. The final recita-
tons, San Imminent PERIL" and the
piece given in answer to the encore,
were particularly good. Miss Liston
has histrionic ability in no small de-
gree and has unquestionably a bril-
liant future before her in the theatrical
world"
The Custer Chronicle says of their
appearance there:
"The concert was decided success
every number on the program was
heartily encored. The ladies are ar.
fists in the truest sense of the word
and they impressed Custer people with
their vocal and instrumental music
and elocutions in such manner that
they will not soon be forgotten"

A New Scheme for Stock Inspection.

The executive committee of the
Northwestern Stockgrowers' associa-
tion recently decided to do away with
inspectors at the South Omaha and
Chicago markets., whose duty it was
to cut out estrays from various ship
ments and make returns in accordance.
Instead they have appointed brand
detectives to look after all shipments
on the C.& N. W. between Rapid City
and Belle Fourche. Ex-Sheriff VIM.
Moses and James F. Davis we're
appointed for this work, and every
herd shipped will be closely inspected
and shippers will be required to satisfy
these detectives as to their authority
for shipping any cattle with brands
other than their own. Another in
spector will be appointed for Evarts
N. D., who will watch shipments on
the Northern Pacific.
1t is safe to say that the interests of
the members of the association will be
carefully looked after with such ex-
perts as Moses and Davis, and those
who have been in the habit of shipping
other peoples stock, either intention
ally or otherwise, would better be more
careful in future. 1t certainly seems
reasonable to believe that the proper
place to prevent Tom, Dick and Harry
from shipping their :neighbors' cattle
"by mistake," is right at the yards
from whence T., D., and II. load the
cars, and not wait till they reach Chi
cago, catch them if they can, repor,

then have scrap with the supposed
owner for the price brought.-Be
