Chamherlain.--Mr. and Mrs, Ferd-
inand Kieffer, who reside on a ranch
In Pennington county, in the eastern
foothills of the. Black Hills, the other
day enjoyed the novelty of purchasing
a town. They have signed the papers
which make them the owners OF the
town of Rockerville. The purchase
was made of X. w. McNown, who has
occupied the townsite for a period OF
thirty years, and the amour OF land
involved In the transaction was 800
acres, 100 acres of which includes
Rockerville townsite.
In the early days OF the Black Hills,
Rockerville was a thriving town and
b very busy place. For a short time
during what has since been known as
the ~"Rockerville flume" days the town
had a population of about 5000 people,
and for a time promised to become
and remain the metropolis of the en-
tire Black Hills.
A stream OF running water flows
across the townsite. and in early days
some "colors" of gold were found
along the stream md hundreds engag-
ed in placer mining. But the placer
"diggin's" soon played out and people
commenced leaving the town in large
numbers, 1t finally settling down to a
quarter century of quietude.
For years the former thriving town
has been a counterpart OF the desert
ed village" we read about in Gold
smiths immortal poem. In it's palmy
days the town was a picturesque one
and among other things was noted for
the beautiful flowers e In the win
dow OF It's homes.

The deep snow prevents these animals
feeding in their accustomed places and
they congregate in the corn fields,
where the corn yet standing in the
fields give them abundance of feed.
The farmer boys are out in force and
have been for some weeks, and the
result is the rabbits have been slaught-
cred by the hundreds. In addition 10
the sport the hunters are deriving a
good profit from the sale of the dead
animals.

Mitchell.-The coal famine to the
west of this city is not being alleviated
very fast. Out at Mt. Vernon there
has been no coal received for the past
five or six weeks, and there was but
very little on hand. Twelve teams
were sent to Mitchell one day to Sc
cure coal, and there was sufficient
here to supply the western town. The
teams made quite a procession going
out of town. Parties from Planking-
ton the day following drove to Mt.
Vernon to try and get a small portion
of that supply. The Milwaukee road
is having such a difficult time east
and south of here with their freight
service that it is impossible to say
when the coal supply will get through
here for the western points. A wind

feet deep, and nearly put an
end to traffic. Two passenger trains
and two freights were laid out near
Alexandria last night for ten hours
when a freight attempted to push
through a cut 1900 feet long and filled
with packed snow. The cars left the
and it was necessary for twenty
men to go from here to shovel out the
train.

The debate between the State col
lege and Yankton college will be held

the affirmative against Yankton and
will be represented by the following
men: Elmer Sexauer, Cecil Starring

Yankton.-The r~ecollections of
fankon pioneers of the steamboat
days when the Missouri was an i'm
portant avenue of commence are re-
newed by the recent appearance of
what seems to be the bow Of a sunk
en- river steamer. Those who have in
vestigated the risen craft are of the
opinion that it is the steamer Fodnal
which was a freight boat and was sunk
in 1876. Inspection also reveals that
the beams are in a good state of pres
ervation and spring may see the boat
hoisted from it's present resting place.

Brushe.-The homesteaders who
have maintained their residences on
their lands in this part OF northwest
ern South Dakota this winter have
had a strenuous time, but will come
through the winter all right. Those
who have had the most distressing
time are the homesteaders who did
not make suitable provision in the
way of houses for the severe weather
which usually is experienced in this
region during the winter. Those who
reside in board "shacks", with moth
ing but kerosene stoves to furnish
heat, have suffered the most. Coal
has been scarce and has been difficult
to obtain even by those who had the
price and the teams with which to
haul it the long distances from the
railroad. Some of the homesteaders
were wise enough to construct sod
houses, and these have been quite
comfortable during the winter. How
ever, most of the homesteaders expect
ed to withstand many hardships. They
have kept up their courage and now
are planning on their spring work, the
settlers having determined to break
an aggregate of many thousands of
acres of prairie land and put in crops
the coming season.

Platte.-The moderate weather of
the past few days has given the Mil
waukee railway compauy an opportu-
nifty to get its freight business on this
branch Of the road Strengthened out.
The unusually heavy STOW during the
past two months greatly impeded
freight traffic, and gave rise to COM
plants from the residents Of the vari-
Gus towns along the line. Even the
railroad commissioners were appealed
to for relief. For weeks a coal famine
stared the people in the face and con.
ditions could not have been more seri-
Gus. Notwithstanding that the officials
of the railway company made every
effort to keep the line open and freight
moving. Now abundant supplies OF
coal have been received and thousands
Of tons Of delayed freight have been
received at Platte and other towns

Pierre.-The Minneapolis and st.
Louis road after a great deal of talk
in regard to building into this city
has at last got down to actual work
in this part Of the state. A party of
engineers OF that road are here located
for some time, and have been for the
past two days running surveys along
proposed lines of entering the business
part. OF town. They have gone over
two different lines, and will probably
run several other lines before they
make a final selection of the one
which they think the best for getting
down from the prairie into town.
Perceive stock raisers in this
part Of the country are in somewhat
of a quandry as to where the meat
boycott" will leave them If 1t is really
continued for any great length of time.
They do not expect the packers tc let
go of much, whatever the outcome,
and look for a reduction In the prices
offered to them for their stock. II any
real reduction is forced In the price
OF meats. 1t is the belief Of the grow.
ers that II there Is any reduction in
demand the packers will simply stop
buying instead Of reducing prices. and
when the hnal roundup comes, the
growers and not the packers viii be
the ones who will set the worst Of It.

YOU'VE been reading a lot
lately about wear and year.
ability of paint; and there are
paints that do have these
qualities.
But there's one paint that has more than these,
for it possesses the peculiar quality of sustained
wear, namely the Mound City Horse Shoe
Brand; the paint with the life in it; the paint
that's made of honest Lead and honest Zinc and
Pure Aged Linsced Oil; the paint that wears
and looks better than Lead.
Horse Shoe Brand Paint, all colors, always
gives a clear, beautiful, living look to the fin
ished job. Never bleary, or muddy, or gummy;
none of that dead, dull appearance.
Then, too, it pays to come to a store where they are
able to advise you and help you to get the most good
out of paint. lfyou read this ad you will know where
such a store is right in this very town.
Besides the House Paint, there's a Horse Shoe Paint
for every purpose Floor Paint, Barn and Roof Paint,
Buggy Paint, o-Wauk- On Stain, Screen Paint, Wagon
and Implement Paint, what you want for whatever you
want to put it on.
Let's tell you about one Of these Horse Shoe Brand Speoal,ies
Floor Paint: Horse Shoe Brand Floor Paint is the best floor paint
we know anything about, for the reason that the more you wash il
the harder it gets. like cement. Wears like concrete and yet keeps
alive all the vivid color that it had when first applied.
So, when you re ready for paint that is paint, and does what good
paint ought TO do, here's the place and here's the store that sells il.
You can trust the paint and you can trust the store two things
worth remembering.
