FEEDING sH -EP IN WINTER.
Driven to Belle Fourche by Thousands
Alfalfa lndustry-Beet Sugar Rails.

Fully 10000 sheep have been driven
from the ranges north of Belle Fourche
end will spend the winter at Belle
Fourche. Since the completion of the
government reclamation dam here, 1t
is a well established fact that this dis
trict will become the greatest winter
feeding district in the world. The
tire project when completed will cost
the government s2,500,o 900 and will
reclaim a tract of 10000 acres. AT
he. present time about one-third OF
the acreage is under the water, and
the fertility of the soil established.
The district will be a prolific pro-
Queer of alfalfS and all the grain used
for winter shees feeding, to a degree
that equals any other sheep feeding
point in the United States, and In
other respects will be superior to the
best. Colorado now outranks the
try in this respect, but the Belle
F'ourche district has many advantages
over the former. There they are obliged
to chip the stock to the wintering
point by rail, while at Belle Fourche
they may be driven in from the vari-
Gus surrounding ranges
The experiments of c. Bewick a
Detroit seedman, in this district have
proven to a certainty that h sugar
beet is one of the industries which Is
adapted for the region. The beets
raised dN ing the past year on his
little experimental tract here gave
from IS to 20 per cent sugar, and are
fully as good, and in many instances
better, thar the famous Colorado beet.
Considering the fact that in places
where the industry is cultivated profit-
ably many tracts grow beets that only
yield IL to IA per cent sugar, the
Belle Fourche tests seem remarkable
The fve-acre tract about twelve
miles north of this city, belonging to
Windy Johnson, Melted him $500 from
the past years garden crop. Consid-
ering that he was just a plain farmer,
not accustomed to the many scientific
methods, 1t can be readily seen that
under better care immense profits
be realized.

Mr.. William +. Vahlberg, Oklahoma
City, Okla, writes:
Zone bottle of Peruna which / have
taken did more toward relieving me of
an aggravated case of cafarrh of the
stomach, than years of treatment with
the best physicians.
~ had given up hopes Of relief, and
only tried Peruna as IA last resort.
Il shall continue using it., as l feel
satisfied it will effect an entire and
permanent cure.
II most cheerfully recommend Peruna
to all who may read this"
Peruna is usually taken as a last re-
sort. Doctors have been tried and
failed. Other remedies have been used.
Sanitariums have been visited. Travel
has been resorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief il
found.
This history Is repeated over and
over again, every day in the year.. 1t is
such results as this that gives Peruna
it's u~nassailable hold upon the people.
We could say nothing that would add
force to such testimonials as the above.
That people who have had catarrh and
have tried every other remedy avail
able, find relief i'm Peruna, constitutes
the best argument that could be made.

Two New Counties.

Under the provisions of the vote in
Butte county, the new counties Of
Perkins and Harding come into exist
ence in the state. Perkins occupies
that part of present Butte county in
the northeast part, covering all the
old county east of what the residents
call the log" beginning at the north
east corner Of Meade county and e
tending north to the state line. Hard
ing county will take about half of the
remainder of Butte, leaving the old
name to the southwestern part of the
county. Under the division Belle
Fourche will not need to worry in
regard to a county seat contest for
several years, and the two new u
ties will have all kinds of amusement
of the situation before they are final
ly decided on tn ~elocations they want.

TO TRY KAUFMAN CASE AGAIN.
Supreme Courts Ruling Cheers Won.
an Convicted of Killing Her Domes.

The supreme court granted a new
trial to Mrs. Emma Kaufman Of
Sioux Falls, who was convicted in the
circuit court of Moody county of man.
slaughter in the first degree, on a
charge of having caused the death of
| Agnes Polreis, a servant.
The court found numerous errors in
the action of George w. Egan, the
special prosecutor, who conducted the
| case for the state.
The Kaufman case was the most
sensational trial lin South Dakota
since pioneer times. Mrs. Kaufman
Sioux Falls, a brewer, and N of the
| wealthest men of the state. She was
accused of causing the death of her
domestic by repeated beatingS. The
state brought forward the most shock
ing charges against the woman, who
seems to have had complete domino
ton of the girl, who was a foreigner
! and a stranger in Sioux Falls.
The arrest of Mrs. Kaufman and
her first appearance for a hearing
| caused a wild scene on the streets near
the court room. The carriage bearing
the woman and her husband and at
torneys was followed by hundreds of
| persons, and threats of violence lev.
eled at her head. The excitement
soon spread to Parkston, the home of
the dead girls parents, and to other
| places in that part of the state, and
a popular fund was raised TO prosecute
the case.
The trial at which conviction fol-
lowed was at Flandrea uin Moody
| county on a charge of venue. George
w. Egan, who had won fame In Iowa
as a criminal lawyer, prosecuted, and
Frank Aikens, n of tn eablest and
most experienced attorneys in South
Dakota, was the leading counsel for
the defense. The trial ran for weeks
and was full of sensations. The jury
convicted Of ~manslaughter and Mrs.
Kaufman was sentenced to fifteen
| years in the penitentiary. Pending the
application for a new trial, she has
| been out on bail. She has at all times
denied the charges.

That there is any good in life
He doesn't seem to know.

But walks where shadows lie,
And seldom ventures out unless
A cloud is in the sky.
The smile of dawn means naught to

The dew that battles the rose.
He carries sadness in his heart,
No matter where he goes.
His presence seems to cast blight
On everything around
And meath the guise of wretchned-

LIVERY STABLE IS
BURNEDAT COLLINS

Collins, Miss, April 24.-The livery
stable of w. c. Mayfield was burned
st $3.50 o'clock this morning. The
horses, one buggy and two wagons
were saved only by the most heroic
efforts. Everything else in the equip
ment was burned, including guam
tity of feed stuff and a $500 hearse.
The building was owned by James
Kervin. The loss on building an
equipment was probably $1,000, part
ly covered by insurance.
