"PEEPER" is ACTIVE.
Tar and Feather Penalty for Offender
Is Threatened.

Some Of the more radical male resi-
dents Of the little town of Lane, in
Jerauld county, promise a coat Of tar
and feathers, a good beating and a
ride out Of town on a rail to a Jack
the PEPPER" who recently has been
making himself obnoxious by greatly
annoying the residents of that place,
especially the women and children.
He has been detected late at night
at the windows of different residences
while the members Of the households
were retiring for the night. He ap-
pears to be fleet of foot, and thus far
has eluded capture by those who have
chased him from the windows of their
homes. However, suspicion points
strongly to a certain individual, and he
Is being closely watched in the hope
that if he in reality is the guilty par
ey he can be detected in the act and
arrested.
The male residents of Lane threaten
to take the law into their own hands
and administer punishment.

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question Of Interest to All Care
full Persons.

Arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con.
sumption Of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread. pastry.
etc., produces serious bowel troubles.
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digested), are over.
taxed and the food ferments, produc.
ing gas, and microbes generate in the
decayed food, frequently bringing on
p~eritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form is
shown In the food "~Grape-Nuts," where
the starch is changed into a form OF
sugar during the process OF its manu-.
facture. In this way, the required
food 10 presented to the system in a
pre-digested form and is Immediately
made into blood and tissue, without
taxing the digestive organs.
A remarkable result in nourishment
is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why in mental?
Because the food contains delicate
PARTICLES of Phosphate of Potash OBJ
tanned from the grains, and this unltes
with the albumen of all food and the
combination is what nature uses to re-
build worn out cells In the brain.
This Is a scientific fact that can Be
easily proven by ten days use Of
Grape-Nuts. There's q Reason"

Child Regards Snake as Prize and

Child Regards Snake as Prize and
Doesn't Want to Give Up Reptile.
The most novel rattlesnake story OF
the season, and which is true in every
particular, comes from the western
part of Lyman county, where a two.
year-old child of a settler and his wife
caught a rattlesnake by the tail and
dragged it to his home.
The little fellow, while playing near
the house, discovered the rattlesnake
summing itself on the prairie, and evil
IDENTIFY thinking he had captured a
prize grasped the snake by the tail
and dragged it to the house. When the
little fellow arrived at the house the
snake twice had fastened its fangs in
his hand, but, Notwithstanding this, he
refused to abandon the Catch"
Naturally the members of the fam.
lily were greatly Mortified when the
child appeared at the door with the
snake. Even when the members OF
the family endeavored to induce the
child to let go of the snake SO it could
be killed, the little fellow still was in.
clined to retain his grasp upon it's tail.
By the prompt application Of soda
and vinegar the life of the little boy
was saved, but his body from the waist
up turned black before the effects OF
the poison was nullified.

ON u L rs,
New Law on Teachers Certificates
Makes Radical Change.

Makes Radical Change.
The law of the last session made
several radical changes In the manner
Of issuance Of teachers certificates.
The old law provided for two exalulra-
eions each year, one ia the spring aud
one in the fall, after which oil par ers
above the third grades we're sent to
the state superintendent ONCE for
marking. For this work the state :u-
perintendent called tosethcc a board
of educators from different parts Of
The state to assist.
The new law provides Cor hui
nerous examinations and the sending
Of all papers for a certificate Of IN
grade to the state Gupe"intendent's Ct
ice for marking, this work to be done
by a permanent hoarA, which is made
4 part of the force Of that office.
The first examination under the new
aaw will be held on July IS aud IS in
any Of the counties Of the state which
desire examinations on those dates,
that being before the ilrst regular ex-
animation under the new law, which
will be on Aug. 10 me 16.

STRANGE BONES FOUND.
Remains Found In Gravel Pit Are Not
Believed to BE Indians.

Believed to Be Indians.
Some strange finds have been dis
covered in a gravel pit east of Oacomo
on the Sioux reservation. Since the
pits have been opened nearly fifty
skeletons have been found up to the
present time, and they are nou the re.
mains of Indians.
Most of the skeletons have been
found buried from four to eight feet
deep, and all in either a sitting or
standing posture. Most of these PEG.
pie seemed to be of rather small stat.
ure, much below the height of the or.
binary North American Indian. A few
days ago while digging in the pit a
skeleton of a man fully eight feet in
height was discovered. In the imme,
date vicinity Of the burial place were
found implements of copper and bone
in each of the graves, and in n was
found a copper idol about eight inches
in length.
The gravel beds are dry, and when
the bones are exposed to the air they
at once crumble into dust. At first
the finding of the skeletons caused
much excitement at Oacomo, but they
are taken out with little comment
except the finding OF the last one
which indicated a race of people OF
great height.

FRAME BILLS EASY 70 SAIL.
5oIons Will Be Aided by Perfected
Reference System.

During the last legislative session
Prof. r. E. Kerr remained at Pierre
md conducted a department Of legis-
alive reference, which was freely
lsed by the members in securing ma
;erial bearing upon the bills they de-
sired to draw and introduce.
Shortly after the opening Of the ses-
sion the members provided the his
:orical department, in which Mr.. Kerr
worked, with an additional legislative
clerk to assist him, and many a mem
Der was saved a lot of digging after
references on bills. The work was SO
helpful that before the session closed
provisions were made for the estab-
lishment of a permanent department
Of legislative reference in the state
historical department, and an appro-
priation was provided for a clerk for
the work.
While Prof. Kerr will take a posi-
ton in the agricultural college again
at the opening Of the fall term Of the
school, he is at present getting the
work Of the reference department in
to shape through a card index system,
and will get matters shaped up as
much as possible for the permanent
clerk before the end of the vacation.
The outline of the work Is that of ref.
erence to bills which have been pre-
sented in this or other states, and
which failed, giving the reason for
their failure, if it can be learned; the
effects of laws which have been passed
In different states, and how they
would apply in South Dakota; togeth'
err with all laws which have been de.
clared by the different state courts
to be constitutional, with the reasons
for. such rulings of the courts.
The work when completed will be
at the command of any member of fu'
ture legislative sessions in the framing
up of any legislation which he may de
sire. 1t will keep him out Of Difficult
ties ia preparing a bill SO it will have
easy sailing on the legislative sea

In advising Our patients what to
eat it is wrong to say Don't eat this

an hour or more in making out an ex
rurgated diet list and still leave foods

Red Water Company to Use North
western Tracks, it Is Said.
There is a rumor in Deadwood
which seems we'll founded to the ef-
feet thai the Chicago & Northwest
ern Railway company and the Red Wa
ter Traction company have come to
an agreement whereby the Red Water
company gets the use of the North
Western company's rails between
Blacktail and this city, about a mile of
road, and in return the Northwestern
will have the use of the road to be
built by the Red Water company be-
tween Spearfish and Blacktatl.
This will give the Red Water coln.
pany an entrance into Deadwood and
also will furnish the Chicago & North
Western company with an outlet into
the rich farming country along False
Bottom and coal and timber beyond
Spearish.
The Red Water company recently
has completed a large water power
electric plant near Spearfish which is
to furnish electric power for the mines
OF the Black Hills and for a trolley
system between Spear6sh and the

REFUSES TO TAKE BONDS.
Bank Says Levles are Not Sufficient
to Equal Warrants Issued.


At the spring election the voters Of
Aberdeen gave their consent to the is
suing Of $4,000 bonds, $4,000 Of
which was to be used for the building
Of a new school house, and the bal
ance to be used to refund outstanding
warrants. The Harris Trust & Saw
IS bank Of Chicago, to which the
I'D issue was awarded, has refused
take the bonds, claiming that the
.'arrants are illegal, and stating as
ground for that assertion that levies
have not been issued. The company
will take the bonds for $12, 900 to build
a new school if a special election will
be held to get proper consent. The re-
suit Of this condition Is that the presi-
dent of the board, H. S. Williams, will
refuse to sign any more warrants IN
less the levies are sufficient to owe
them, and also that the school board
will make a tax levy for school pur-
poses Of twenty-five mills, which will
be the limit allowed by law. The
board will meet 500 to discuss the
matter and come to some agreement.

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY
The New York Life's Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com.
pany announces that its new paid
business during the half year just end.
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life COM
pany to write vel n hundred and
fifty millions per year, 1t would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit. The New
York Life gained such Roadway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
so little, comparatively, from the Arm.
strong Investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath.
er than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become q pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments TO policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 80 were s21, $50, 761. 1t Is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments mad to living
policy holders. Thus, Vile DEATH
claims were 81, 1S0,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur.
chased policies and for dividends was
$10,480,1 1875. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, EN-.
braces a wide field, and covers many
contingencies. 1t is money saved for
the aged, as we'll as money provided
for the families of those who die pre-
maturely.
