The Church of the Immaculate Con-

The interior finishings are all In

Lion Routs Hunter.

When Eddy Korthaus of Custer next
goes hunting for bobcats he intends to
make sure of the identity of his game
before lie attacks it. The boy took a
small rifle and went into the hills
where the bobcat had been seen. Soon
he caught a glimpse Of an animal In
the bushes and spurred his horse for
it. Two minutes later he learned he
was chasing a f~ull-grown mountain
lion. When the lion snarled and pre-
pared to spring, the horse turned tail
and fled, carrying it's rider to safety.
Korthaus' older brothers have organ
lied a party of hunters, who are wait
ing for the first good snowfall, to
track and kill the lion.

ERROR IN TOWN SURVEY.
Much Litigation Likely VIII Result
From Discovery.

The carelessness of the early gov
eminent surveyors, who surveyed
what now is South Dakota before it
was settled, at a time when it was
never imagined for a moment that
what now is South Dakota would ever
sustain a rural population, promises
to cause much litigation among the
residents OF Truro township, Aurora
county. The new survey lines have
just been run in the township. The
new survey develops the fact that the
township Is considerably short Of its
six miles square. II the new survey is
permitted to stand the township will
lose nearly all the grading that has
been done at large expense during the
last twenty-five years. Some of the
property owners that are affected by
the new survey have consulted attor-
neys and 1t is said they will institute
an action in the courts in al endeavor
to have the new survey declared void.

WILL NOT OBEY PURE FOOD LAW
South Dakota Pharmacists VIII Fight Statyte That Compels the
Placing Of Labels Giving ingredients on Preparations
in Which They Deal.

AS a matter of fact, the provisions
of the law relating to the sale of drugs
is SO badly tangled up with infinitions
of what shall constitute pure foods
that the clause providing for a penalty
becomes imperative for the reason
that the measure does not make clear
just what a violation consists of. The
druggists, as well as others, regard
the law merely in the light of a fool
ish piece of legislation; in fact, a
bad copy Of the national law, and they
propose to keep on ignoring it. A re-
port reached Aberdeen from Pierre
that when the commissioner puts his
threat into execution his first arrest
will be made in Aberdeen. In the
meantime the druggists are waiting.

FARMERS N LINE.
Want Electric Railway From elJou
Hills to Mitchell.

Hills to Mitchell.
For the last two or three months
the farmers residing in the southern
part of the Brule county have been
doing some quiet and effective work
on a railroad j~roject. Bijou Hills has
been settled for over a quarter of a
century, and has had to egt along
without a railroad. The farmers have
been hauling their grain a long dis
lance, and when the Milwaukee built
it's extension up to Platte, the natural
superstition was that it doubtless
would bull on to Chamberlain and
pass through Bijou Hills. When it
stopped at Platte and gave no further
evidence of continuing, the farmers
were discouraged, so they took the
matter into their own hands. They
are helping to promote a project for
the construction of an electric road
from Bijou Hills Directly across the
country to Mitchell to connect with
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaho road. They have secured the
right of way from all the farmers up
to the line Of Dawson county, and
they have interested nearly every
farmer in that section to back the
project financially. The committee
which has the road in charge is coming
to Mitchell to take up the building
project with the Commercial club and
ascertain what assistance they can
rely on. In it's air line the road will
not touch any town that has a rail-
road, and it opens the way for the
building of many new villages In the
southern part of Aurora county.

An interesting fight is about to be
pulled off in this state, and it is be-
tieved Aberdeen or Sioux Falls will be
selected as the field of operations. On
one side is A. H. Wheaton, the state
pure food commissioner, and arrayed
against him are practically all the
druggists in South Dakota. The
trouble is owe an order issued by
Commissioner Wheaton to all drug
gists and others selling prepared
medicines prohibiting them from sell
ing any medicinal preparation If the
label does not state what the ingredi-
ents are, with an analysis of each one.
The druggists have been advised to
ignore the order, and they are doing
so.
The provisions Of South Dakotas
pure food law became operative on
Oct. l, but the commissioner announc-
ed that he would not enforce the law
until the 10th of the month. In the
meantime the druggists got busy, dis
cussed the matter at a meeting and
decided to ignore the commissioner as
tar as his order goes. AS a result
matters stand about as they did be-
fore the famous South Dakota law
went into effect, and the druggists de-
clare they will not obey the commits
sioner's edict. Wheaton has threaten
ed to cause some arrests, but so far
has done nothing along that line.
What he will do remains To he seer
and it is reported that he is about
ready to take action. One drug firm
~endeavored to make a test case, but

fused to adopt that method of testing
the constitutionality of the law.

company in a position where 1t will

horse power.
So many mining companies and
firms have contracted for the use Of
the electricity that the company is
now figuring on plans for the erection
Of a larger plant at Buelah, Wyo.,
west of Belle Fourche, some time this
winter. This plant will insure suffi-
