The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded iisease that science has been able to cure in Ill Its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only posit ve cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting dir ectly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the 'ystem, thereby destroying the foundation If the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution md assisting nature in doing it's work. The proprietors have much faith in it's cura tive powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Sc d for list of testimonials.

A "Smoker"


 friends at a smoker"
 The wife of the host has been visiting with friends and rela- tives in the east for some weeks and was not present-neither were the wives of either of the others-'twas simply a bunch of good fellows well met under a hospitable roof. One of the lit. tie surprises that had been pre- arranged and skillfully executed with the able assistance of two or three confederates, was great ly enjoyed by all of the com pany-after we had seen the joke, but there was a moment ot horrible suspense, during which treachery, treason and trouble were both suspected and ex pecred-when mental pictures O ruined reputations and wrecked hopes were decidedly in the fore ground, but all of which were happily dispelled at the proper moment, and the daring jokt greatly appreciated by the vic tins, whose erstwhile dropping  spirits revived almost instantly by judicious internal applica- tions of the contents of cooled thin glasses partially filled with shaved ice, a sprig of mint and some other mysterious ingred1 ents known only to the cele brated and famous mixologist whose services were secured fo1 this occasion at an enormous ex pense. About this time the guests were ushered into a well ap, pointed dining room where cov- CTS were laid for twelve. The collation. served was one well calculated to tempt the most in digerent palate. There were chilled rel1shes, salads in four diff ferent languages, force-meats oi the varlegated varieties, blond, and brunette, nestled in ivory tinted cups of scooped egg, the whole fringed with crisp garn ishes, that aside from the excel fence of the viands in themselves, lent an attractiveness beyond description. The olive, the stuff ed mangoe, the iced radishes al comet, with and without tails: even the everyday sandwich, in holiday garb, all were there.
 After all were seated, the host. in few well chosen words, stat ed that the object of the occa sion was merely to Tighten few lonesome hours during the ab sence of his family with the so cial good-fellowship of some of his friends, and trusting tha some enjoyment would be mutu ally shared by all present, clos ing his remarks by designating Ralph Teeple as toastmaster. turning in turn upon each of us the search light of friendly crit cism upon our little weaknesse. which each of us had though were known ouly to ourselves. but "Pop" did it all in such {: fatherly and kindly way, thar we all felt glad we had trans 1 gresSed, if only to be allowed tn, opportunity of showing "Pop" that we would make good in tn, future, although each one wa. | given chance, and did defend | himself, as best he could, trying to counter on the toast master, very few effective hits were land ed, most Of them being glancine blows, as it were, for after fusilade of repartee and cross fire, "Pop" came out of the skir. mish practically unscatcbed.

 \ light run was expected here today, and supply balance of che week will likely be moderate,

 lucers as being small, in view of the existing protective tariff. Top steers today sold at S.25, equal to the best price paid last week, and bulk of sales of steers ranged from $6.8O 10 $500, some yearlings bringing the lat ter figure. Country butchers nave difficulty in securing suit able killing stock near hand, and are buying at the big markets more all the time. This trade has been quite a factor the last week or two.

Col )rado feeders sold at the latter figures today and Colorado beet steers ranged from $6.6O to SITS today.
 The hog market is about $1.5O lower today than the best time d few weeks ago, including a loss of 25 to 35 cents today. The .ecline last week was 75 cents Jer cwt., and traders feel them selves slipping today when they contemplated the market pros poets for the balance of this week. Packers have the upper hand and promise to do all sorts oi things to the hog market right away and if the big break starts d flood of hogs to market they will accomplish the big end oi their purpose. The run last week was 51,OOO head here. anne week last year 5S,OOO, the smallest decrease from last year 't any week this year. The run today is 5000 head, heavy hogs today at $9.35 to $9 50, medium weights 1925 to $9.45, light S9,1O to $9.4O.
 Sheep and lambs arrived to the number of 5000 head today and the market is 10 higher fol- lowing a small net advance last week. Wool lambs brought $1O today, only a quarter under the pest time this year, top clipped | lambs $9.25, Arizona spring lambs today $S.5O, wool yearl Ings worth 1925 for best, wet hers $S.75, ewes $S.3O, Arizona clipped ewes today at $6.5O. A break in the market has been predicted for this week, unless receipts should be very light.

MARKET, STOCK AND RANGE

since high water mark last November. The following inter- est1ng treatise on the wool in- dustry has been compiled by
 Justice, Bateman & company
 wool commission merchants:
 Wool in the United States this year, like the majority of the preceding 20 years, seem likely to bring the lowest price of the
 whole year in the spring and early summer. This was the case 1n 1890, 1895, 1896, 1897, 1899, 1901, 1902, 1904, 1905, 1907, 1908 and 1909.
 Growers are likely to be disap- pointed this year at the apathy of buyers at early clip time. Owing to this many growers are likely to be stampeded into selling at lower prices than they will obtain ill the autumn and winter, as in the years abov> named,
 Imports of foreign wool tor the eight months ending FeI : ruary, were 70 percent greater than the average for the same eight months of the two previous years. Imports of foreign wool for the calendar year of 1909 were 312,OOO,OOO pounds, the largest for any single year under tariff law having duties upon imported wool, and Fl per cent larger than the average of the previous ten years, showing that the tariff is not too high, other wise this large importation would not have taken place.
 Excessive imports of foreign wool at a time when orders fol goods are lacking is a combl- nation which is responsible tol the fall in price ofdomestic wool. The decline comes at a time when prices for wool in the outside markets of the world for like kind end character are either un- changed or higher
 This decline we believe to be one of those temporary drops that often occur. We bellev, there will be a reaction before the close ot the year, in spite o1 excessive wool imports, and the temporary shutting down of all or part of some of the larger mills.
 Our faith IS based on the exist ence of many reasons why prices for wool in the United States should be higher rather than lower Among them is the very important one of the exhaustion of supplies of heavy woolens, owing to the severe winter, which sooner or later, must give renewed employment to mach nery now idle.
 Another fact is that the nation was never so wealthy as now. That Is because the new wealth taken out of the earth during the past year was the largest on re- cord; and another Is that em- ployment of labor in productive at higher wage scale than ever before enables the working class to buy wooden clothing at least as freely as evcl before.
 The primary cause for the de. cline Ill wool was undoub tedlN the checks in tht demand tol woolen clothing, owing to the widespread hysteIia as to the alleged "higher cost of living' since 1908.
 This had it's inception Ill the recovery from the panlc ot tha, Ot that year. Consumers have panic prices ornormaI prices. Recovery from panic prices started this eXcit, ment which newspapers and mag azlnes have since industriousIy and 1t has now become a national question.

Plenty of Pine Cones

Deadwood-No more pine cones
will be purchased this year in eth
er the northern or southern divi-
sions of the Black Hills national for
est. For several weeks past the for
estry force has been inspecting the
piles of cones brought in by men and
boys who gathered them in the Hills
and sold them to the government at
rs cents a bushel. In all about $4,000
bushels Of cones were purchased in
the Hills, four-ffths of these being
secured by Supervisor lines at Custer
and the rest by Supervisor Kelleter
here. All the cones from here were
shipped to Custer, where they were
stored in warehouse, where high
temperature was maintained. This
causes the cones to spread and drop
their seed, after which tanning mill
is used to separate the seed from the
chaff. The seeds thus secured will be
distributed by the government in the
national forests through the West,
where the yellow pine thrives and will
be planted next spring in reforesta-
ton of burned areas. OF the total
amount of cones gathered in the hills,
the weight was close to 100000 pounds.
