Hon. William H. Parker, con-
qressman from South Dakota, died
at the St. Joseph's hospital last

weeks. The physician pronounced
Col. Parker's ailment as serosis of

his return it was found necessary
to remove him to the hospital.

dcnce of X. NJ. Williams occurred
the marriage of Miss b er tena
Peterson and Charles Niederword-
er in the presence of a few friends
and relatives. Rev. George Hoels-

Mr.. and Mrs. Niederworder came

ago settling on claims eight miles
south of town. since which time
they have made a host of friends
who will be pleased to learn OF
their marriage. They left at once
for short trip through the Black

with patent medicine vending.
We sincerely hope some plan will
be devised whereby all fake
material will be cut out of the
state house. South Dakota is a
rich state. We could build mil
lion dollar capitol without land
from Uncle Sam. But with land
and other resources we should not
have the example of a state house
built like the sod houses of early
day. Many sod houses had hard
plaster finish and looked we'll for
time, but they soon passed away.
Our new state house should bo
real, not imitation in anything.
Capital-Journal.
An artesian we'll outfit has been
taken across the river to be used
in drilling a we'll Mt Lacy, in
central Stanley county, on the
high prairie. While successful
artesian flows have been found
practically all the way from the
Missouri to the Black Hills in the
river valleys, the sinking of a well
on the high prairie is as yet an cx-
pertinent. Years ago the govern
ment attempted to secure an ar
tesian flow at Rosebud Indian
agency and failed, stopping work
after a depth of about two thou
sand feet had been reached. Work
has just been stopped on a we'll ut
Murdo, in Lyman county, ut u
depth of 2184 feet without getting
a flow, but the water came to with
in 270 feet of the surface and is
being pumped from that depth.
But the flow appears to be nearer
the surface farther north in the
state, and the Lacy we'll may prove
a success and in case it does,
northern Stanley county will soon
have number of flowing wells
sunk. .-Capital-J journal.

lines are still open, especially a
meat market, but they will most
likely be taken in short time.

Still We Win

The ball team from the capital
city were defeated in the first two
games of a series of three games
which were arranged to be played
between the Pierre and Philip
teams. A side bet of $3.50 had
been made on the result and more
than usual interest was taken in
the games. Under the arrange
mentS Skunk, Durkcc. Freeze and
llalsteth were barred from playing
with the Philip team and Taggert,
Uhrich and Feyder of the Midland
team and Coats from the Wolzama
nine were selected in their place.
JrldaN's game was played at
Pierre and resulted in Il victory
for Philip by score of 3 to l..
Debenham and Fitzgerald were
the batteries for Philip and Wan

for the Pierre boys. Debcnham
pitched one Of the best games Of
the season. Pierre being unable TO
secure but one safe init.
The second game was played at
Philip on Saturday. Lotzenhouser
started to pitch the game for the
locals but not being up to his
usual form he was replaced in the
second inning by Debenham who,
while he had pitched an unusually
hard game the day before, pitched
the locals out of a bad hole,
winning the game by a score of I
to 5. Fitzgerald did the receiving
for the home team. Gardner and
Johnson were the battery for
Pierre. Had not Philip won both
games third game was to have
been played at Midland to decide
the series.
Both were good clean games
and were witnessed by large
crowds. While the Pierre team
were more anxious to win these
games than any games they have
played this season, yet they have
no complaint to make. They putup
the best they had and got beat.
They are good losers and We shall
be glad to see them with us again.

advertised to be played at Midland

down on the noon train and played

HOmesteader'S Meeting
At Philip July u. 1908


At casual meeting of several
precinct committeeman and other
homestead settlers of Stanley coun-
ty at Hot Springs, S. d., during
the recent meeting of the q. A. r.
in that city, it was considered and
recommended that at the meeting
to be held at Philip, July Is, 1908,
a permanent organization of the
homcsteaders of the county ought
to be perfected, the purpose of
which should be the mutual benefit
of tho farmers of said county by
mutual intercourse and exchange
of information and experiences and
by combination of effort to pro-
tect each other from that combina-
ton of avarice and greed which
now names the price the farmer
must accept for all of his produc
tions that he must of a necessity
sell, and the price he must pay for
all which he of necessity must buy.
Also to hold farmers picnic meet
ings Of the old and young, male
and female, in each voting precinct
from time to time for the purpose
of useful neighborhood intercourse
and exchange of social amenities
and social exercises, and lectures,
essays, etc., of interest and in
struction to all. These sugges-
tions are not intended to ignore
the special purpose of the Philip
meeting which will meet to deter
mine what county officers, if any,
nominated by the recent primaries
the homesteaders ought to support
in the November election, but to
utilize the occasion for the pur-
poses suggested.
The following order of business
for the Philip meeting is suggested

Bad Lands for National Park

The Rapid City Journal says:
A movement has been started to
create national park in the Bad
Lands near White river, along the
line of the Milwaukee railroad
from Chamberlain to Rapid City.
The region is most picturesque, of
very little value for agricultural
or grazing purposes and always
must be a subject of interest to
visitors. The matter will be
brought before the next congress. p

Toby Jacobs

A noted ad writer has the follow
ing to say in regard to advertising:
WHAT TO ADVERTISE
Advertise your goods whether
they be gum drops or gun powder
false teeth or real diamonds.
Praise your line-tell about it
someone or other wants something
or other every day, and Uncle
Sans cash never looks pretticr
than when it is in motion. from
one purse to another.
How TO ADVERTISE
State just what you have
where you have it why the reader
should have t-and tell the price
of it. Don't break faith with the
people by promising too much for
the money at the same time a
business man who doesn't tell the
strong points is really under
rating his merchandise and does
not deserve to be an advertiser.
WHEN TO ADVERTISE
Advertise when business is dull
to make it better. Advertise to-
day because you wish more busi-
ness tomorrow. There should be
no let up as long as money is
minted.
WHERE TO ADVERTISE
Give first consideration to the
newspaper. A newspaper may be
likened to . healthy mans blood.
for blood circulates swiftly, plenti
fully and surely where it does the
most good. Advertising in count
less minor mediums without FIRST
taking advantage of newspaper
columns means to restrict ''circu-
lation." Tie a string around your
wrist and "circulation'' is confined
to your fingers only.

Dear News:
Ii has been on our minds for a
long time to express, in Il public
way, our appreciation and graft
tuln toward the old settlers in this
vicinity for the neighborly y aid and
extreme Kindness extended to our
colony when we located our claims
in their midst
We were among the first of the
new recruits TO locate hompStcads
IN the vicinity of Philip. had
been warned that the oid settlers
would not bc friendly toward the
new homesteaders. We found this
impression to be entirely erronc-
Gus. A more nclghborly and
friendly reception was never eN-
tended to any one in a new coun-
try than was given to US. Among
those that have a warm place In
our hearts are Dr. y. IL. WyckoH,
Robinson Bros, +. f. Morrison,
X. NJ. Williams and their families.
and many others whose names
space will not permit to mention.
Among the first to give US our
bearings were the Soarls. DR..
Wyckotl and Frank Slocum. This
service was entirely gratuitous
and saved us an immense amount
of trouble and expense at that
time. Then the kindness and aid
riycn us by Robinson Bros. Nthe
nionccr lumber dcalers) and +. l..
Morrison. in the building of our
cottages and getting a roof over
our heads. will always be remem-
bercd. The fact that the old
settlers were the first ones to
bring in these materials and aid
the homcstcadcrs in complying
with the requirements in such
cases, is sufficient refutation of the
charge that they would not be
friendly to actual settlers.
While there was some annoyance
from stock the first year or two,
and consequent MISUNDERSTANDING.
the new settlers should realize now
that such things were unavoidable
and that the stockmcn were acting
entirely within their legal rights
under the free range laws applying
to the lands west of the Missouri
river, especially whore there were
no fences. Besides this it should
be taken into consideration that
it takes several years to dispose Of
large herds to the best advantage.
These matters are rapidly ad-
justing themselves, except where
the homesteader is extremely
Jealous of little grass for which
he has no use. The great wonder
is. under the circumstances. that
there has not been more friction.
We should all, now, put our
shoulders to the work of building
up prosperous community ard to
this end we feel that Philip is
especially fortunate in its business
men.
Again thanking all our friends
for their kindnesscs we are.
Sincerely,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram Bowman,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Corner.
