Pierre.-The broom corr industry
Is getting quite a boost in Butte coun-
ty, since the establishment of a broom
factory at Belle Fourche. The bust
ness men of the town have taken up
the matter of making the factory a
success, and are working to secure a
large acreage planted to broom corn
this year. The returns on the plats
planted to broom corn last year were
so satisfactory that it is easy to find
farmers ready to take it up this year.
In some cases the net return was over
$50 an acre last year, and while this
was above the average, all who tried
1T secured good returns for their Ia
Dor. Trials in the country north of
this city, and in Stanley county have
shown that broom corn can be sue
c~essfully and profitably grown, and
with the present high prices of the
product there is no reason why this
state should not make that a profitable
crop to handle right along.

While he paused a heavy noise
arose that quickened his heart-beats
and sent the blood through his veins
in wild excitement. From far down
by the shore there came the roar of
a cannon 1t was closely followed by
a second and third, and hardly was
the night shaken by their thunder
than a mighty cheering of men swept
up from the fire-rimmed coast. The
battle had begun! Nathaniel leaped
out into the glow of the great blazing
fire beyond the temple; he heard a
warning shout as he darted past the
men; for an instant he saw their white
faces staring at him from the freight

knew was a command-and was gone.
Half a dozen rifles cracked behind him
and a yell of joyful defiance burst
from his throat as the bullets Kissed
over his head. The battle had begun,
Another hour n the Mormon king

defamation he knew that it was fired
from a ship at sea. A nearer crash of
fire turned him into a de-
serted street down which he ran wild
ly, on past the last houses of the
town, until he, came to the foot of a
hill up which he climbed more slowly,
painting like a winded animal.
From its top he could look down
upon the of battle. To the east

Its rim Of fires. A glance showed
him that the fight was not to center
about these. They had served their
purpose, had forced the mainlanders
to seek a landing farther down the
coast. The light Of dawn had already
begun to dispense the thick gloom Of
night. and an eighth of a mile below

Huron.-The hands of the clock in
front of the First National bank, in
dicating the progress of the endow'
ment fund campaign for Huron col
lege, were pushed past the 10000
mark. This clock has been used dur

made. This means that Huron has
done what was expected of her and
in fact, a little more, the total amount
being $50,775. The total in the state
has reached $4,000, the mark for il

total, counting eastern donations, will

SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

When my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and a a
watery fluid. We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till 1t spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got SO
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch so that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and a thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. l had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
and III down that he took ~fainting
spells as if he were dying. He was
almost a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies. I
had not laid him down in his cradle
in the daytime for a long while. I
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on n application of Cuticura
Ointment and he was SO soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad I was he felt better. It took one
box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty
near n cake of Cuticura Soap to
cure him. l think our boy would have
died but for the Cuticura Remedies
and I shall always remain q firm
friend of them. There has been no
return of the trouble. I shall be glad
to have you publish this true state
ment of his cure" (Signed) Mrs. M.

Oliver Herford and a friend were
strolling through a section of town
that was plentifully strung with pull

to the tanner in which these gar

disfigured the landscape. Mr.. Herford
gazed at them thoughtfully and then
gently murmured: "The short and
