Victim of Black Handlers.

Pierre.-Bold black hand methods
were attempted in the peaceful farm
ing section OF Sully county. Henry
Esselbrugge, a wealthy bachelor farm
err and one Of the county commission
ers of that county, who lives about 40
miles north of this city, received a
letter threatening that his buildings
would be destroyed by fire unless he
placed S. 1000 at a certain specified
place. He at once t~elephoned the
sheriff of the county, and that official,
with several deputies, went to the Els
selbrugge ranch. Instead of the money
a check was left at the designated
place, and it was watched until wei
toward morning, when the members OF
the posse went to the ranch house to
warm their chilled limbs. On their
return a few minutes later the check
had disappeared. E~sselbrugge notified
all banks in this part of the state to
refuse payment, and bloodhounds have
been sent for to attempt to trail the
party who took the check.

Bullet Meant for Doc.

Plankinton.-J A. Mueller, a farmer
living near here has reason to believe
he could not qualify for a sharpshooter.
He attempted to shoot a dog with an
old revolver which had been around his
home for some time, but the weapon
missed fire, and in an effort to extract
the cartridge the weapon was dis.
charged and he shot himself in the
face. The bullet entered his cheek
close TO the mouth and lodged just be,
low the base of the brain. That he
was not instantly killed is regarded
as little less than a miracle. He will
recover, but the bullet will have to re.
endanger his life.

ECZEMA DISFIGuRED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
DOOR little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine OF the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every n who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can

JOHNSON SAYS
NEVER AGAIN

CHICAGO, June 3O.-"Ah doan
reckon dat I'll evan fight again Jack
Johnson dropped this remark to Chi
cago interviewer just before he left
the Windy City for his trip to London.
The writer then goes on to give his
reasons why Johnson made this state
ment.
Immediately following the Reno
fiasco Johnson told me that he never
would train again. Hence this more
recent announcement was not surpris-
ing. That he means every word of 1t
is my firm belief and the reason lies
il the fact that Johnson has TOO
much money to undergo the rigors OF
a strenuous preparation.
when pressed for a more explicit
explanation Johnson sidestepped the
question quite cleyerly with the loqua-
cious remark: Why, sab, ah doan need
to fight Then, as if he had suddenly
realized that he had committed an
cgregious error, qualified the state
ment by saying You see, it's like
this Dere amt no one to fight. Lang
| ford is the best left, but the public
does not want to see two black men
fight Then, again, dere amt no noah
place to fight. So what's de use of
arguing? That the colored man. the
