Fec GRAIN TO SHEEP.

Farmers Buy Floeks to Turn Upon
HalI-Swept Fields.
Many Of the farmers Of southern
Brown and northern Sphinx counties,
through which a disastrous hail storm
recently swept, utterly destroying the
crops on several hundred farms, in or
der to save something out Of the wreck
of their grain fields, are purchasing
sheep in the Far West and will ship
them to the hail-swept fields 81 the
animals a fatten upon the many
thousands Of bushels Of grain which
is scattered over the ground. This
feed will place the sheep in first-class
marketable condition, and they should
command high prices on the market.
The farmers, who have decided to pur-
chase the sheep in large numbers, be-
lieve that in this way they a save
and derive a revenue from at least a
small portion Of the crops which were
destroyed.

quo. General Superintendent Belt and
General Manager H. Vance Lane, both

endeavoring to adjust the difficulty.
At Hill City the Nebraska company
sold its exchange and fifteen tele-
phones to John Mates. a lumber deal
er Of that place. The basis of the set
tlement was the operation of the ex-
change by Mates on a royalty Of Is
per cent on all outside business done
by that exchange over the rest Of the
Nebraska company's lines in the Hills.
1t is probable that other towns in the
Hills will adopt similar propositions,
leaving Deadwood and Lead the princi.
pal exchanges owned by the Nebraska
company.

Mail Bag Taken From St. Paul Train

Mail Bag Taken From st. Paul Train
Found In River at Red Wing.
Red Wing, Mimi, Aug. 21.-A leath-
er United States mail bag was found
floating in the Mississippi river by a
fishing party Sunday afternoon. In it
were 300 registered letters which had
been opened n replaced. The sack
had been weighted and an attempt
made to sink it.
Railroad and government detectives
who are working on the case say that
it was stolen from the e%ast-bound St.
Paul train No. 2, which usually reach
es this city at midnight. 1t was late
Sunday morning. The letters were ad-
dressed to Winona, st. Charles and
Tracy, and the bag is supposed to
have been lying near the door OF the
car when the train stood at the Red
Wing station. The supposition Is that
1t was then stolen and the contents
rifed.
The bag was opened by removing
the lock, which Is taken t show that
the work was not that of amateurs,
who would have cut the sack open
Several personal checks found in the
letters had been replaced, although it
is believed that a large amount of val.
tables was secured. There are no
clues.

LEVY TO BE HIGHEST.
Irvine Plant 10 the Cause Of Increased
Tax Lew.

Tax Levy.
The levy for state taxes this wear IL
Ia of a mill greater than any other
levy made in any one year since state
hood. This is on account Of the l IA
mills for an operating fund for a state
binding Irvine plant at the p%enitentiary,
which was voted as a separate consti-
tutional amendment by the people of
the state at the last general election.
The legislature authorized a 2-mill
emergency levy for this and next year,
but on account of the Irvine levy, only
l mill of the emergency levy was ap-
piled, and this with the 2 mills gener-
al levy, makes the total.
The Irvine plant levy will bring a
revenue Of about $500. 900 after count.
ing out the taxes which will not be
paid, and will be a sufficient fund to
put into operation the Irvine plant
which has been erected on the peni-
Tertiary grounds from an appropria-
ton which was made by the legisla-
ture of 1905 for that purpose. The 2
mills general, and the l mill deficiency
will not meet the estimated expenses
Of the state and take up the outstand-
ing revenue warrants, and will re-
quire a renewal of that indebtedness
at the beginning Of a new year, but
the full two mills emergency levy was
not thought advisable with the added
Irvine plant levy.
The 2 mills emergency has been au-
thorized for next year, and then no
doubt will be placed on.

GET CATTLE At FANCY PRIcEa,
Ranohmen VIII Hold Stock Don Range
eInuree OP0p,

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 arc
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 of 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 500 cars, more
than 100 already having been shipped
to Omaha, Sioux City and Chicago. So
far this month the North-W Western.
which handles all the shipments out
Of here, has orders for $50 cars ahead,
and this month is gradually increasing
as tho month wears on.
Cattle men . pleased with the
prospects Of a good market and are
preparing to ship out the most Of their
available stock. There IL q dominant
note of independence in the talk OF the
range cattleman. His cattle have had
. good year and are consequently in
good shape now. The hay crop In most
sections is larger than 1t has been in
years. SO that IL 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 BelN
Fourche are not figuring on shipping
TOR 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 q 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 1t is certain that
shipments will show an even larger
falling OF than is expected, and 1t is
up to the buyers to govern the amount
Of shipments this year.

KICK STANDARD OUT OF STATE
SUIT WILL BE STARTED IN DIS.
1RiCT COURT TO GUST OIL
OCTOPUS.

st. Paul, Aug. 21. - Within a few
days the State of Minnesota will insti-
sute proceedings against the Standard
Oil company in an attempt to GUST the
company from the state because of al
legged violations of the Hinton anti-dis-
elimination law passed last winter.
Attorney General E. T. Young is au-
thority for the statement that the suit
will be instituted in a few days in the
district court of Ramsey or Hennepin
county.
Since the filing of the complaint
with Secretary of State Schmahl In
May an investigation has been made
quietly Of the evidence which could be
produced in the event of the suit being
brought. The investigation included
analyses of the grade of oil sold at va
rious points in which it Is alleged
there was a discrimination In prices,
and Of the other evidence which could
be produced to prove the sale of the
oil at each Of the places at the vari.
Gus prices alleged in the complaint.
Evidence Is Ample.
At a conference in the attorney gen-
erals Office yesterday with represent
atives of the Independent oil dealers
this evidence was reviewed. That 1t is
believed to be ample to secure convic-
tion on the charge Of discrimination
Is evidenced by the fact that the suits
will be brought without delay.
The charge which the Standard Oil
company will have to meet Is that Of
discriminating between various locali-
ties in the price of oil of the same
grade. The prosecution will be under
the Hinton law, which makes the pen
atty for a conviction under the law
the cancellation of the company's Ii.
cense to do business in this state.
This law provides that the price Of oil
must be the same in all parts Of the
state, making due allowances for the
difference in freight rates. Violations
OF the law by any person or rpora
ton or any agent or officer or member
of a corporation is made a gross mis-
demeanor, punishable by a fine of not
to exceed $4,000 or Imprisonment in
the county Jail not to exceed one
or both.

Proposed Constitutional Amendment
10 Criticised.

Proposed Constitutional Amendment
10 Criticised.
The proposed amendment to Article
IL Of the state constitution to be sub
mitted to the people of the state for
q vote next year is receiving consider
able criticism from the fact that it
cuts out tho 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 old
constitution which has not been noted,
it being the dropping out Of section 4
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 constitutions:
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.
ject to q taxation equal to that i'm
posed on the property of individuals"
The proposed changes are, In fact,
provisions for the taxation Of Inherit
ances and incomes and the striking
out Of the tax levy limitation and the
bank tax provision. Otherwise the
amendment would leave the constitu-
ton practically as 1t is at present. the
wording being slightly changed in
some Of the sections remaining, but
the substance being the same.

opposing the sale Of all household

cary for patients to knoto the compo-
sition Of the remedy prescribed by q
physician! 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 q proprietary medicine? As q
matter OF fact. more opium-dddicts

Unquestionably, there are a number
of proprietary remedies on the market
the sales of which should be prohibit
ed, and nc doubt they will be when
the requirements of the Food and
Drugs Act are rigidly enforced; many
are frauds, pure and simple, and some
are decidedly harmful. or the aver
age proprietary remedy, however, it
may truthfully be said that 1t 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 un.
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
