The manner in which the defeated
stalwarts accepted their defeat and their
public promises to give the state ticket
their loyal support has greatly discour-
aged the democrats, who early in the
fight between the insurgents and stall
warts coun.ed on receiving many new
recruits from the faction which would
be defeated in the state convention.
Some of the more enthusiastic demo
Gratis even considered the possibility of
the democrats being able to elect their
nominee for governor next fall. But
they now have abandoned all hope and
will simply 90 through the motion OF
lining up their voters in behalf OF the
democratic state ticket in order purely
to maintain their organization so it viii
be in proper condition should matters so
shape themselves that the democrats
elect their nominee for president IN
1908. Everything indicates that the
republican state ticket will be elected
next November by the largest plureIlty
ever given the republican party in South
Dakota.

NO ONE WOULD EAT ALUM.
Food that Contains Alum or an Alum
Residue is Unhealthful

Food that Contains Alum or an Alum
Residue is Unhealthful.
Here is some interesting evidence up.
on the alum baking powder subject:
Prof. A. S. Mitchell, of Milwaukee,
late chemist to the Wisconsin Dairy and
Food Commission, in testifying before
the Congressional Committee, which was
collecting information to aid in the mat
ter of pure food legislation, said that
there was no question but the tendency
OF the chemical impurities which would
remain in food made with alum baking
powders would be deleterious. As the
claim made by the manufacturers that
alum powders left no alum in the food,
he said he had failed to find any such
powders which. in the ordinary process
of cooking, would not leave some soluble
alum in the food.
Doctor Schweitzer, the accomplished
professor of chemistry at the University
of Missouri, after a series of experiments
with bread raised with alum baking
pow ders, reported Careful analysis
of the bread thus prepared shows por-
ton ofthe alum from the baking pow
ders remaining in the bread as such and
unaltered"
The fact that alum if taken with food
into the stomach would be injurious is
not questioned or disputed by any one.
As scientific evidence would seem to
prove that when food is raised with
alum baking powder some part Of the
alum remains in the food, the prudent
course for the housewife is apparent.

Mining Mems Association

On the goth of this month the Mining
Mems association will meet at Dead
wood, and it promises to be one of the
best meetings of the year. The associa-
tion will meet for the first time in the
large assembly room Of the Deadwood
business club, and as it is capable of
seating 800 or 400 people it will be am
pie for all purposes. Cy Robbins of
Custer City has been prevailed upon to
read paper on Southern Hills Ores, "
and as Cy is an authority on that sub
ject, the lecture which he will give
will not only be interesting, but will
contain much information Of value to
mining and mill men. There will be
other features for the evening which
should attract to the meeting every min
ing and mill man in the Black Hills.
In connection with the meeting it might
be well to state that Frank Peck has the
work which he started several months
ago on map of the Black Hills, show
ing all of its mining districts and all OF
its patented mining claims, nearly COM

The Harvey Peak Reorganization IN

Every once in while of late we read
items in the press of the country to the
effect that the old Harney Peak Tin
company will reorganize. That the
London and New York stockholders
who have been so long at outs have met
and adjusted their differences and will
henceforth pull together. We have
heard that they have advanced so far
that the money has been raised for re.
fitting the mills belonging to the COM
pany, and that they will be ready to
produce tin in the course of few
months. We sincerely hope and trust
that this is all true, but we would feel
better satisfied if we knew it to be
fact. We have not been able to trace
these reports TO any authoritative source
as yet but truly hope there is something
in it.

The proceedings of the republican
state convention, and the platform
adopted, will be found on the second
page of this issue. The statement sub
mitted by the three stalwart members
on resolutions-ex Governor G. n. Her
ried, Frank Alexander of Campbell
county and Senator Hanley of Custer
was not in the nature of minority re-
port, but was filed by way of protest
against some things which the platform
did not contain. These members felt
that the excellent record made in state
affairs, the wise management of the
school funds, the debt payment which
has been accomplished, and the record
made by our congressional delegation in
Washington were entitled to some ref
erence in the platform. 1t was by way
of protest against this omission that the
members named declined to sign the re-
port and submitted their explanatory
statement, rather than to submit min
orty platform.

rho Forest Reserve Bill for Relief of Set

comes a Law Immediately.

comes Law Immediately.
Senator Hanley, on Tuesday, received
a message from Congressman Martin,
stating that the bill for the relief of set.
tiers on forest reserves was signed by the
President Monday, and goes into effect
Immediately.
The passage Of this bill means much
to settlers who are living on land within
the forest reserve, many Of whom have
been without any means of securing title
TO their homes since the establishment
of the reserve. 1t is the most important
law that has ever been passed in the in
terest Of Custer county, and is worth
thousands OF dollars to the citizens and
taxpayers.
In substance the bill as passed permits
qualified homesteaders who settled on
agricultural lands in the Black Hills for
est reserve prior to January /, 1906, to
enter them under the homestead law,
and grants to those who did not have
homestead rights the right to enter
lands on payment of $3.50 per acre. In
Lawrence and Pennington counties
there will be no more land opened for
agricultural entry, but in Custer county
locations can be made and title acquired
to land under certain conditions. There
are also provisions in the bill which
efectually safeguard and protect the
rights Of the mining industry.
To Senator Hanley and Congressman
Martin no small amount of credit is due
for securing the good results brought
about, and their efforts are fully appre
ciated by the taxpayers of Custer coun-

Yes, that is what Ashley called her,

Bruce scanned the figure with more
interest even than he had the beauti-

Hamilton personally he could not tell
whether it closely resembled him or
not. In a general way he thought 1t
looked like the photograph he had, and
which Mr.. Hayes had already declared
to look like Ashley. The description
given in the advertisement also agreed
with what might be said of Ashley, ex-
cept that the latter. when in Val
paraiso, wore long whiskers.
Soon after the two men separated
with mutual good words, and Bruce,
going straight to his room at the Will
loughby House, wrote detailed ac-
count of what he had learned at Val
paraiso regarding Ashley, the bank de-
faulter, who he was inclined to believe
could be no other than Hamilton him.

woman, called Nora by Ashley, and
having emerald colored hair, seemed
almost proof positive.
After detailing the account. Bruce
went on to say. or rather to ask,
whether Mr.. Hartwell would take
pains to learn without doubt what
beard Hamilton wore two years ago
during his customary May journey-if
he had long whiskers in addition to a
mustache. Also Bruce desired to
know the exact date when Hamilton
left Grovedale, whether 1t was as early
as the 10th, for 1t now appeared that
Ashley came to Valparaiso the 18th.

But the man vanished SO quickly that
