oEr CATTLE At FANCY PRICES.
Rsnehmsn viii Hold Stock ssn Range
II EInures DROP.

The shipping season is on In full
swing and Belle Fourche is again one
Of the biggest small communities in
the West. This year is, however, to
witness a new epoch in the cattle trade
at this point. 1t marks the passing of
the older and larger companies who
with the disappearance Of the free
range, are rapidly giving way to the
smaller stockmen. The Franklin Cat
tie company, the largest in this part of
the country, has gone and others are
following in its wake. This will have
q decided effect upon the number of
cattle shipped from this point this
year, and both the railroads and the
stockmen look for a falling off In no
considerable numbers.
Belle Fourche heretofore has enjoy
ed the distinction of being the largest
single cattle shipping point in the
world, but even this year it is not like
ly to lose this prestige. 1t is estimated
that for the month of August the ship.
ments will run about 800 cars, more
than 100 already having been shipped
to Omaha, Sioux City and Chicago. So
far this month the North Western,
which handles all the shipments out
of here, has orders for $50 cars ahead,
and this month is gradually increasing
as the month wears on.
Cattle men seem pleased with the
prospects of a good market and are
%~""naring to ship out the most of their
liable stock. There is a dominant
note of independence in the talk of the
range cattleman. His cattle have had
a good year and are consequently in
good shape now. The hay crop in most
sections is larger than it has been in
years, so that if the market does not
suit there will be no great loss in
keeping the shipping cattle another
year and sending out only the old
ones. In fact some of the prominent
owners on the ranges north of Belle
Fourche are not figuring on shipping
for anything but fancy prices which
they consider but fair return for the
excellent value in beef received.
So far there has been no sign Of con
gestion in the shipping. This would
induce a drop in price and would be
quickly relieved by the cattlemen
stopping shipments until prices had
again reached a point somewhere near
the prices they demanded. Unless this
price is received it is certain that
shipments will show an even larger
falling off than is expected, and it is
up to the buyers to govern the amount
of shipments this year.

opposing the sale Of all household
remedies, Why is it not equally neces-
sdry for patients to knop the compo-
sition of the remedy prescribed By Q
physfcidn? Does any sane person be-
lieve that the opium in a physicians
prescription is less potent or less like
ly to create a drug habit than the OPT
UNI in a proprietary medicine? As q
matter OF fact, more opium-dddicts
and aimIfends hare been made
through the criminal cdre7essneSs of
ignorant physicians than By any other
means.
Unquestionably, there are a number
OF proprietary remedies on the market
the sales of which should be prohibit
ed, and no doubt they will be when
the requirements of the Food and
Drugs Act are rightly enforced; many
are frauds, pure and simple, and some
are decidedly harmful. OF the aver
age proprietary remedy, however, it
may truthfully be said that it is dis
tinctly better than the average physi-
clans prescription; for not only is its
composition less secret, but it is pre-
pared for the proprietor by reputable
manufacturing pharmacists in magnifi-
Gently equipped laboratories and I'M
der the supervision and advice of able
chemists. competent physicians and
skillful pharmacists. 1t should not be
considered strange, therefore, that so
many physicians prefer to prescribe
these ready-prepared proprietary rem
edies rather than trust those Of their
own devising.

HARTMAN WILL TELL ALL

Madison, Wis, Aug. 10. - That the
practices OF the Marathon County
Railroad company, owned by Lieut..
Gov. w. d. Conner, are unlawful. in.
ly parasitic" is the conclusion of a
decision handed down by the railroad
commission yesterday on a complaint
lodged against the road by Nicholas
S%treveler.
The commission found that in some
cases passengers were carried free
over this road. and in many cases less
than carload lots of lumber did not
have to pay freight. 1t was also dis
closed hat the company did not pub
fish a tariff schedule, Is Is required
by law.
AT the hearing a month ago Mr.. Con-
nor, through his attorney, set up the
defense that his road was not a CON-
mon carrier, and hence not subject to
regulations. In handing down its de-
cision yesterday the rate commission
declared the road to be a common
carrier.
The commission ordered that the
rates on lumber, which were declared
extortionate, be reduced from IS and
81 a car, respectively, to $3.50 and
$3.50 a car.

CONSTITUTIONAL Amen0f0nS
10 Criticised.
The proposed amendment to Article
ii Of the state constitution to be sub
United to the people OF the state for
q vote next year is receiving consider
able criticism from the fact that it
cuts out the constitutional limitation
Of state tax levies, leaving that matter
entirely at the discretion of the state
board. While all the comments on the
proposed amendment up to the pres
ent have been upon that one point,
there is another decided difference
in the way of omission from the Ola
constitution which has not been notice
it being the dropping out of section 4
IN regard to bank taxation. This omis-
sion no doubt will be a source Of won
der to the people who do not know the
intricacies Of legislative action on
many measures. The omission is as
follows In the present constitution:
Section 4. The legislature shall
provide for taxing all moneys, credits,
investments in bonds, stocks, Joint
stock companies, or otherwise; and
also for taking the notes and bills dis
counted or purchased, moneys loaned
and all other property, effects or dues
Of every description, of all banks and
all bankers, SO that all property en-
ployed in banking shall always be sub

posed on the property Of individu"'
The proposed changes are, in f..
provisions for the taxation of Inherit
ances and incomes and the striking

amendment would leave the constitu-

wording being slightly changed in
