Negress I'm the Pen.
he Telegram last night says:

The Telegram last night says:
Beatrice Lewis, a negress, con-
victed last week of grand larceny by
the theft of more than $500, was
sentenced yesterday morning by Cir
cult Judge Frazer to serve three
years in the penitentiary. The maxi
mum penalty is 10 years. She cried
bitterly, and force had to be used TO
compel her to accompany Deputy
Sheriff Harry Bulger to the county
Jail, where she awaits transfer to
Salem. Judge Frazer said;
at is hard to sentence a woman
to the penitentiary. but the crime OF
which the woman is guilty Is one Of
a series of similar offenses, and de-
serves the punishment provided by
the statutes"
Bertrice Lewis was the accomplice
OF another negress. Grace Reed, in
robbing Andrew Johnson last April,
when he entered their rooms on Flan-
ders street. Grace fed after convic-
tion, her bondsmen forfeiting $1,000
bail

Rattlesnakes.

The hot weather during the week
has brought out the rattlesnakes In
goodly numbers. Up to the rock
quarry a rattle six feet long was
killed by the workmen. The work
men say 1t was six feet long, and as
the writer ran across one fully five
feet long up ochoco Sunday he has
no reason to doubt their statement,
although the reptiles body was not
brought to town to substantiate
their word. The average rattler Is
not more than thirty inches In
length. rattle and all, and TO gaze
upon one five feet long gives one
similar sensation to that brought
about by looking upon a boa con-
strictor for the first time. A snake
of that size looks wicked, and you

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing train of very
annoying and sometimes p ainfu1
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous Invitations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this gr e a t
change may be expected

per showing in support of its applica.
ton. Judge Garland has appointed Re-
ceivers for the property of the Westing-
house Electric & Manufacturing com
pany in South Dakota.
The defendant company owns and
operates valuable mica mines in Custer
county, situated in the Black Hills, and
it is the intention that the appointment
of the receivers will result in the com
pany continuing operations, to the great
benefit of that portion of the Black Hills
in particular, and western South Da-
kota in general. The company also is
organized under the laws Of Pennsyl-
vania.
ythe terms of the order of Judge
Garland all creditors and others are en-
Joined from levying executions upon or
attaching or intermeddling with the
property of the company which is dir
ected to be turned over to the receivers.
The plaintiff in the snit instituted here
recently, had three receivers appointed
for the property of the defendant COM
pany in Pennsylvania, and Judge Car
land has appointed the same three men
as receivers of the property of the com
puny in South Dakota.
They are T. II. Given, II. S. A. Stew

The Trip to the Hills.

Seventy.fve business men, accom-.
panied by the band, returned Sunday
morning from weeks trip to the new
country west of the Missouri river. The
trip started from Sioux Falls at O'Clock
in the morning and breakfast was serv-
ed at Mitchell. From that point until
the end of the trip at Huron, at nine
O'Clock on Saturday night, the trip was
one continuous ovation. Nothing was
too good for the boosters from Sioux
Falls, and at nearly every point where
speeches were made the Argus Leaders
motto of South Dakotans for South
Dakota" was on the tongue of every
speaker.
The country west of the river has
great possibilities. 1t is filled up with a
set of young men who believe in the
country, and who have no apologies TO
make for themselves. They have settled
in this country because they believed in
its opportunities, and no town was so
small that it did not indulge in great
plans for the future.
Black Hills hospitality is well known
but it was outdone on this occasion.
The visitors from Sioux Falls were treat
ed like brothers and every guest came
home singing the praises of the whole
Black Hills region. as well as that of the
intervening country.
The primary object of the trip was to
boost South Dakota. The secondary
object was to boost Sioux Falls. Both Of
these objects were accomplished. There
are today more people who believe in
South Dakota than ever before and
many of them live in Sioux Falls Should
any of the cities in the region visited
decide to return the visit to Sioux Falls
they are assured of as hearty welcome
as was measured out to the business
men of Sioux Falls last week Argus

Record Day In Land Office.

The largest days business in the his
tory of the Rapid City land office was
transacted Friday when applications
were filed by $50 persons for a total of
24,000 acres of government land. All
day long the Office was crowded and the
small clerical force was worked to the
limit.
The filings are divided as follows: 129
for homestead entry, fourteen of which
were not placed on record because of
some defect seven for timber and stone
entry one reservoir; IL contests; one
for desert entry and one coal entry. In
addition to that, one contest was heard.
Thus it is seen that 20,640 acres of land
were filed upon under the provisions of
the homestead law.
The Rapid City land office is at pres.
ent very short of help, there being but
three CLERKS in addition TO q. p. Ben.
nett, receiver, and John Burke, register.
Considering that this Office has for it's
land district one-fourth of the State of
South Dakota, the Interior Department
ought TO provide more help so that the
business could be transacted more ra-
pidly. The force here are doing every
thing they can to keep up with the busi-
ness but with the rush that there is for
South Dakota land, that is impossible.
The rush at this time of the year is
perhaps accounted for from the fact that
people east have their fall work com
pleted and have time to look up new To-
cations in this state
Just how long the government land
in South Dakota will last cannot be fore
told, but if the present rate of filings
keep up, every available quarter will be
filed upon before the close of the year
