and one more step In the gradual
march OF the denser population is
about to be taken. The mkt annual
meeting Of the Western South Dakota
Stock Growers association, which in.
cludes all the big cattle men Of the
state and northern Nebraska will be
the last. That Is 1t will be the last Of
any magnitude. The vast aggregation
of cattlemen, Indians and visitors,
last year numbering nearly 5000 in
all, will no longer gather at Rapid
City to attend these annual meetings
and the carnivals that accompany
them.
A prominent resident of South
Dakota, who was in the city recently,
stated to representatives Of the
Courier that this was the case and
that the coming meeting in April would
be the last Of the big meetings ever
to be held by this association.
He said: 1.-THE building Of the new
lines of the Northwestern and the St.
Paul railroads through this part OF the
state has sounded the doom Of the big
stockraisers. Their business demand
ed the vast areas of free government
land. The little stock raiser and the
farmer will now take their place as
with the advent of the railroad this
land has become valuable andiis being
rapidly settled. In the six counties
mentioned there are at least 100000
head Of cattle to say nothing Of the
sheep. These are being shipped out
at each round up now, as fast as they
can be brought together. Hundreds of
cars we're shipped to market last year
and more will go next spring.
Must Sell Stock.
''They must ship their stock to mar.
ket, as their ranges are becoming
smaller every day, and the onward
march Of the settler has left them nc
place to go. There are no ranges left
in the country, that are not already
full.
with the passing Of this industry
will pass one of the most unusual cele
brations ever held in any country in
the world. On the second Tuesday OF
April every year, the annual meeting
Of the Western South Dakota Stock
Growers association is held at Rapid
City. In connection with the meeting
carnival occurs. At this carnival
there are exhibitions Of roping cattle
breaking horses, races Of all kinds
and great representations of scenes In
the pioneer days of the wild west, that
would make Buffalo Bills show look
like ten-twent-thirt. Last year two
troops OF United States cavalry TOOK
part in the event, and over 1000 cattle
men, soldiers, frontiersmen and In
dians were present.

Next years meeting and carniva
may exceed last years, but it will be
but the dying effort of an organization
already doomed. With the building q
the two new lines mentioned the coun
try will be opened for settlement by
the farmer and the substantial pro
gress of the country will be assured
The future of Rapid City is brigh
one. For these two lines are both be

1t happened at a station on the
elevated.
A big policeman and a 16 year old
special delivery boy attempted to rush
through the gate at the same instant.
They collided and stuck fast in the
gate.
The train pulled out and left them.
Then the big copper turned on the
boy.

cav, wot's bitin' YEP interrupted
the boy, raising his hand warningly.
"Skiddoo! You work fur de city, an

Git away FIN me!'
The officer, who probably had read
in his little book that he could not
arrest a carrier on duty, gnawed his
mustache refectively and walked to
the other end of the platform.
Whereupon a man who owns an au-
tOmobile relieved his feelings by clap
ping the boy enthusiastically on the
shoulder and giving him so cent

"A Brief Parable.

A certain man carried a sack con-
tanning a heavy burden, and he had
borne it many weary days.
Then as he journeyed the Angel Of
knowledge came to him and spoke
to him, saying:
What dost thou carry?''
And the man replied: ct is a heavy
heavy burden"
"Of what does the burden consistY'
the angel asked.
"Of my Worries the man made an

Then the angel smiled pityingly up
on the man and said:
''Let us look into the bundle Of thy
Worries
And they looked, and 10! even as
they looked the contents of the sack
dwindled into nOthingness.
For when the Angel of knowledge
teaches a man to look Alright he per-

and useless things and the burden Of
them grows incOnceivably light.-San

A Night Alarm.

Worse than an alarm of fire is the
brassy cough of Group, which sounds
like the children's death knell and it
means death unless something is done
quickly. Foley's Honey and Tar never
fails to give instant relief and quickly
cures the worst forms Of Group. Mrs.
P. L. Cordler, of Warrington, KY,
says: "My three year old girl had a
severe case of Group; the doctor said
she could not live. / got bottle Of
Foley's Honey and Tar, the first dose
gave quick relief and saved her life"
Foley's Honey and Tar is best for
Group and whooping cough. contains
no opiates, and cures quickly. Careful
mothers keep it in the house. Refuse
substitutes. IT. Bennett.

FINDLAY CASE GOES
 TO THE JURY TODAY
Arguments In Standard oil Prosecu- tion Are Almost Finished-Defense
 Argues on Technical Point.

Findlay O., October 16-That the case of the Standard oil company of Ohio on trial for conspiracy against trade, will be fin the lands Of the jury tomorrow Is confidently predicted tonight by attor- neys for both sides.
 The evilelce is all in and arguments progressed fer four hours today. The jury has yet to near Attorney Kline for the defense anG the closing argument for the state by Attorney General Ellis. Prosecutor David began his argument at 10 o'clock this morning after two wit nesses had testified for the state and the state had closed it's case with the submission of evidence of a single docu- ment, tine decision of the supreme court of the statS. declaring the defendant com pany Not guilty" in the contempt pro- ceedings of 1900. MT. Phelps followed MT. David for the prosecution and MT. Troup occupied the balance of the day until after o'clock in making the opening ar gument for the defense
 Inc prosecution told the jury that there never had been an actual cessation of :he Standard oil trust of 1882 as shown oy the evidence, although the form of the organization had been changed The defense made It's main point that while the evidence showed all the so-called sub sidiary companies to be owned by the Standard oil company of New Jersey, not one syllable of evidence had been adduced to show that the defendant com pany was so owned.

 HAS BEEN CHANGED
Hearing of Mssouri's Custer Suit Against oil Companies Postponed
 to November 8.

St. Louis, October 16.-The hearing of the states custer suit against the Stand ard. Waters-P Pierce and Republic oil com panies, was resumed today for the pre- sentation If testimony in defense. but was contiruec to November 8. The state ment was made by Attorney General Hadley that he had found on looking over the official copy of the proceedings of the former hearing that H. Clay Pierce, chairman of the Waters-Pierce oil company, had ordered the official stenographer to change some of the testl- mony he had given at that time. This would greatly effect the case said Attor- ney General Hadley. The attorney gen. eral, thereupon entered a formal objec- tlon Commissioner Anthony ruled that Pierce could not change his testimony on the official copy of the proceedings, but that he could change his testimony when he resumed the stand in the defense if he wished to do so. Because of the absence of attorneys for the defense the hearing was continued.

Return From Montgomery.

Robert N Bell, chairman of the Jeffrson county democratic campaign committee. and others returned from Montgomery last night, where they spent yesterday in attendance on the meeting of the state campaign committee.
 In discussing the work of the commit tee in reference to the contest for sheriff of Jefferson county MT Bell said:
 "The attention of Chairman J. Craig Smith was called to the card of Fred M. Jackson, chairman of the democratic and conservative party, in which an appeal was made to the state committee for aid in the state campaign. The state chair man said that he recognized no such party and that the committee would lend no assistance nor would recognize any ap- peal from such a movement which Is in direct opposition to the regular dem ocratic party.
 "The name of Judge J. P. Stiles( can didate for sheriff, will be placed under the party emblem, and that of E. l.. Hig- don will not. The state committee in endorsing all candidates under this em- blenl included that of Judge Stiles.''
