SUCCESS .
Is EUer Close

At the heels of opportunity, and who
ever fails to get a hustle on at the
appearance of the latter should never
expect to WOO and win the smiles OF
the former. I am now in position to
sell at a bargain price nice Farm,
suitable as an investment or a home.
Grasp the opportunity or you may
find some one more alert who will be
the successful one. Fine land for corn
and oats and good average land for
cotton. Plenty of fine pasture for
cattle and is adapted to the growing
Of an abundance of forage. There
is sufficient wood and saw timber and
three good tenement houses and 9TH
er necessary buildings The land
consists of 1872 Acres, within two
miles Of town, to which access may
be had over two good public roads.
Those looking for the best bargain
offered in Land should see me at once
and be mighty quick in doing so.

There are no secrets in this Cam

Mr.. Bryan will enter the White House

Short Crop

It seems to be generally
conceded that the cotton crop Of
York county this year will be from
25 to 33 per cent short of what 1t was
last year, when the largest yield in
the history of the county-about A.
600 bales-was harvested. While
there is no reason to doubt that the
crop is short, still 1t hardly seems
likely that it will amount to so much
as from 1000 to 14,600 bales, and
that Is what from 25 to 33 per cent"
means, and it Is to be hoped that the
shortage is being ver-estimated,
rather than under. Again, the de-
crease in yield cannot be helped and
the farmer who has done his best,
should not fret. Don't worry over a
condition that you can help, but go
ahead and apply the remedy. and
don't worry over a condition you can
not help, because worrying hurts you
and does not heal the trouble. Worry
kills You can save yourself from
heavy loss and worry in case your
property is destroyed by fire by insur-
| ing it in One of the Time Tried and

One of the events of the season will
be, The Girl and the Stampede q
new play written by Victor Lambert,
which is to appear here soon. 1t had
an original run of some weeks in the
West. The play this season has been
embracing the larger cities in the East.
This production Is one of the largest
the Lamberts have ever made. They
have omitted no detail in scenery or
equipments that would contribute In
any way to the completeness of the
staging of this piece. The com pany Is
large and capable one The local
scenes of the play are laid near Lar
annie, Wyoming, during the period of
the rustling among the cattle and
sheep men in that vicinity. The
story, although written about a western
theme, is strong and dramatic, and is
not ofjthat wild and woolly character
that one almost instinctively associates
with a termed western play. The per-
sonalities and the story are of course
the rough and homely types of the
western ranges, but the story is one OF
such extreme heart interest and so true
to human nature in general that it
could perhaps be translated to another
locality and interpreted by different
types of characters with fully as great
effectiveness in the settings in which
it is now presented.
Miss Grace Hayes Lambert, who as
sumes the title role of Bess Crabtree,
is u close second to Blanche Bates, in
1.-The Girl of the Golden West" Miss
Lambert has made a thorough study OF
the Wesl. Every article of wearing ap-
parrel used in the part waspu released
by her at Fort Wasky, Wyoming, 10

COT ntry. Victor Lambert, the author,
is native of Washington, and in 'S6
punched cows for the Milsap & Maloney
Co. Mr.. Lambert wears In the charact-
er OF Cal Blair, belt, six shooter and
spurs that were given to him by one of
Clusters scouts, who now resides In
Sheridan, Wyoming. We mention
these things simply to show that in
this great play not even the most
minor details have been overlooked.

The affairs of the South Dakota
democracy continue TO be in very
muddled condition. Some OF the
democrats do not even know who their
nominees are. AS an illustration, in
the Pierre Free Press appears as an
advertisement the democratic national,
congressional and state tickets, and the
democratic county ticket of Hughes
county. In the advertisement the
names OF Robert e. Dowdell and G. j
B. Harris appear as the democratic
candidates for congress. Mr.. Harris,
rs is well known, is not one of the
nominees at all, having been forced by
the Rapid City convention, after hav-
ing secured majority at the primary
election, to tender his withdrawal from
the ticket.

arguments why any republican should
become anything else.
