Result of Il Recent Trip Up to

Last issue we informed our readers
that Roy Cotterell of this city was
spending the week in Lead, S. d.,
and we now learn that the young
ann took unto himself wife in the
person of Miss Ethel Thorp, who for
merly was a trained nurse in the
Homestake Hospital at Lead The
wedding, which took place Sunday,
December 1st., at the home of the
brides parents Mr.. and Mrs. B. F.
Thorp, was quiet affair. The week
following was spent visiting with
friends in Lead and Deadwood. A
number of social functions were ar
ranged for the young people and
Saturday they came to Rapid City
where they will make their home.
Mr.. Cotterell is employed at Chase's

This was too much for the Tele-
gram pencil pusher who resorted to
his editorial columns for revenge. We
are grieved to note that he is inclined
to treat the TRADE hurled in his di-
rection with disdain and gives it's
writer the equine chuckle in this de-
lightful manner:
The little noise over on Lee street
is foaming at the mouth. Something

under his skin, for his top thatch is
doing a merry wig-wag these days
and brainstorms are sweeping over
his barren mind .1ll the poor old

We have at last discovered a use

Candy Pulling.

After you have tried other things,
try the old-fashioned candy-pulling
some cold night, when the young
folks want some fun. Everybody
must come equipped with gingham
apron. Besides the regular old-time
molasses taffy, try this: Three cup
fuls of white sugar, butter size of a
walnut, one-half cupful equal parts
of water and vinegar mixed. Cook for
twenty minutes or until it spins or
threads, over brisk heat, but do
not stir, or it will turn back to sugar
in cooling. When it spins turn out in
to buttered tins, or on a slab Of mar
Bile, and as soon as possible to han
die, pull until very white. If cooked
too much, it will be hard; if cooked
too little it will be soft. Try to strike
the happy medium. Flavor as liked
while pulling, by dropping the flavor
ing on the pulled strands.

Omaha Market Letter.

Cattle receipts are apparently get
ting back onormal proportions as
supplies show gain of 5000 head
over Thanksgiving week and average
up about the same as for the first
week Of December for last year. The
market has also been steadier and
has shown very little fluctuation
from day to day. On the desirable
cornfed beeves the values are possibly
shade higher tnan week ago,
while values on the short fed and
warmed up grade are perhaps a shade
easier than a week ago. 1t has been
the same way with cows and heifers
Good to choice grades have been in
active demand from both local pack
ers and outside buyers and prices
have been trong throughout while the
demand for the common and canning
grades has been Indifferent and wall
ues are somewhat easier than last
week. Western range beeves, on ac-
count of the competition of feeder
buyers, show rather more improve
ment than the fed cattle There has
been a tolerable lively trade in stock
ers and feeders all week and values
are in the neighborhood of IS to 20
higher than a week ago for all de-
cent grades, the supply being fairly
cleaned up. (
Prices on hogs have steadily ad-
vanced this week although the gain
has been slow and the total advance
for the Week amounts to only about
25c. 9Loca1 packers are still rather
bearish in their views, but owing to
the 'liberal, outside demand they are
forced to hustle. to fill their Current
orders and there has. been a strong,
healthy. tone to the trade throughout.

dealers have been expecting and this

hallish factor in the trade Weight

WORK STARTED
ON YIN. GA ROOMS
ASSOCIATION TO OCCUPY THEIR
NEW QUARTERS BEFORE
CHRISTMAS.
Plans are Being Laid For Athletic
Carnival to Take Place Next
Week

| Members OF the Y. NJ. G. A. Will be
pleased to learn that active opera
tions have been commenced by the
workmen who have the job of con-
verting the old G. A. r. hall into
association quarters. At the rate the
work is progressing, the prospects are
| bright for the occupation ,of the
rooms in the near future. The read
| ing rooms will in all probability be
completed first,and will be equipped
with every means that will
tend to make mfortable and desir-
able, where members may spend their
leisure moments.
No time is to be lost in getting the
gymnasium, bath and locker rooms
ready for use, the TIME being needed
i'm fitting up this portion of the
quarters necessarily being greater on
quired for it. The bath room will be
up to date in every respect and forms
an important part OF the gymnasium
scheme as planned by the committee
in charge.
Until the gym is completed
there is plenty of room at the audi
ttorium Wednesday evenings for the
exercising of any muscles that may
have grown little stiff from disuse,
and many are taking advantage of
this branch of the Y. M c. A. athlet-
les each week.
The most important gala event
under the direction of the Y. M. G. A.
since its inception is the grand athlet-
ming, December 20th, at the auditor
ium. A special committee is hard at
work on plans for the occasion,
which will include basket ball games
between the Stars and School of
Mines teams, and another in which a
team representing the government
Indian school and "Happy Go Luck
les" will do battle. The "Happies'
are practicing steadily for this con-
test which will undoubtedly be a
first class exhibition of the game as
Mr.. Robe, of the Indian school, is
also rapidly getting his men in shape
for the occasion. Arrangements have
been completed with Supt. House,
whereby the Indian School band will
accompany it's basket ball team and
take part in the evenings festivities.
Another number on the program
that should prove interesting to the
spectators is the indoor ball game be
tween the Bachelors" and the Ben
idicts.' When the game was first ar
ranged, the idea was that it would
lend an element of comedy to the car
nival, but since that time, so much
good material for both teams has
come to light that the chances are
good for a first rate contest and eth
er team is liable to carry home the
palm of victory.
If something in the way of excite
ment does not materialize when the
Rustlers and Hustlers hook up for
their relay race, the committee is
due to miss its guess. About eight
men from each of the membership
campaign squads will run one lap
apiece, or at least they will make
the endeavor, for the slippery con-
dition of the Auditorium floor sug-
gests the possibility that several Of
the contestants may sit down rather
suddenly in the course of the strug-
GLE. - X ~ 81 " -,

PRESBYTERIAN BAZAAR,
Ladies Make Success of Their Annual
BaZaar-RcaliZc Tidy Sum.


Quite number responded to the
invitation extended by the Presby-
terian ladies and attended the annual
bazaar given under their direction
last Friday evening and enjoyed them
selves very much, greatly to the sat
isfaction of the ladies, and incidental
ly a good sum was raised to be used
III various branches of the church
work.
+ A large staff of walters were kept
busy both at dinner and supper time
attending to the wants of the hungry
Rapid Cityans who assailed the we'll
laden tables in seemingly endless
numbers until late in the evening.
The ladies in charge of the various
booths reported excellent returns,
many taking advantage of the oc-
casion to lay in stock of pretty
things for the approaching Christmas
time, so in all departments the Pres
byterian ladies came out with flying
colors in their latest undertaking.

Petition Turned Down.

At recent meeting of the county
commissioners of Lyman county petit
tions were presented signed by 1043
men who claimed to be legal voters
of Lyman county, asking that a spe-
cial election be called for the purpose
of voting on the herd law proposition
pursuant to the provisions of the law
passed last winter.
The commissioners compared the
signatures ON the petitions with the
registration lists made by the asses
ors last spring and cut out all of the
names that were not listed by the as
SCISSOR, leaving only 867 names, which
was 80 short Of the required number.
The board accordingly rejected the
petition and refused to call an elec-
ton.
According to the law as it now
stands on our statutes, the herd law
is not operative in any Of the coun-
ties west of the Missouri river until
the question has been submitted to
vote and carried by majority vote.
Upon petition of a majority of the,
votres of county, as shown by the
last general election, If presented at
meeting of the board Of county COM
mdssioners, after January 1, 1908,
the question must be submitted at the
next general election.
The action of the Lyman county
board in requiring all petitioners
to be enrolled on the tax lists Of the
county, while being harshly criticized
by some, is founded on good hard
sense The tax lodging element are
not permitted in the management Of
public affairs.-Stock Growers News

DISCUSS THE UTES.
City Council Meets with Governments
Officials to Discuss Indian

Slty SOuncll meets WITH Government
Officials to Discuss Indian
Proposition.
The city council convened in spe-
cial session Wednesday evening to
talk over certain matters pertaining
to our new neighbors, the Ute In
dians, with government officials. Sew
eral of the liquor dealers doing busi-
ness in this city were also present as
one Of the principal topics taken up
being the federal law prohibiting the
disposing OF liquor to Indians.
In attendance at the meeting were
Mayor Emrick, Alderman Boyd,
Dodge, Thomson, Feigel. Patrick,
Mccarthy, and Overpeck for the city.
Capt, l.. H. Hutchins, of Washington
and Supt. j. +. House, OF the In
dian School representing the govern
ment.
Capt. Hutchins stated that the
Utes now located here were under
government control and persons sell
sing liquor to them would be held
amenable to the federal statutes gov
erning such cases. He further stated
that the return of the Utes to their
Utah reservation would be accom-
plished at the earliest date possible.
A good word for the Indians To-
Gated near him was spoken by Supt.
House who said that they were will
ling to work when given the oppor-
tunity.
The trouble on the Cheyenne reser-
walton, he believed was caused by
the fact that the men had nothing to
keep them busy.
AS a result of the conference no
trouble over the liquor proposition
will arise IN connection with the In
dians, nor will the local authorities
object to their presence in this To-
ca1ifv

The special meetings at the Bap-

gelist Jas. H. Davis, are steadily in
creasing in interest. Rev. Davis Is
clear, logical speaker and hews
close to the line.
His L.yle. studies at four O'Clock
are very helpful. He is anxioun that
all Christians shall take advantage
of these lessons.
But one or two more evening SER
vices remain, and every one should
avail themselves of the opportunity
to listen to Rev. Davis.
