WHY SHOULD USE
CUTICURA SOAP?

There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and l thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True. 1t
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered 1t the standard for this
purpose, while it's extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to 1t all the
advantages of the best Of toilet soaps.
1t Is also invaluable In keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While It's first cost Is a few cents
more than that Of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that 1t wears
to a wafer. often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making its
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth OF
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"
Dept. % L, Boston, for a liberal sam
pie cake, together with a thirty-two
page book on the skin and hair.

Dust and tuberculosis.

AS a result of the dangers from con-
sumption to those exposed to various
forms Of dust, and at the request Of
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, the
United States government has recently
appointed a commission to work in CO.
operation with state authorities in
making an investigation into the con-
ditions of the metal mining industries
in the United States, with special ref.
erence to diseases of the lungs. The
work of the commission engaged In
this special task will follow lines
somewhat similar to those worked out
by the Royal Commission of Australia,
whose report vas recently received in
this country.

AUGUST Was Chilly.

Huron.-The monthly meteorologi-
cal summary for the month of August,
which has just been issued by the To-
cal station of the United States wealth
er bureau, shows a set of figures for
August which have probably never
been equaled. August Of this year was
as extreme as regards low tempera-
lures as June was for extremely hot
weather. Only one day during the en-
tire month did the thermometer range
as high as 100 degrees and for the ma
iority of the days, the temperature
allied to reach 80 degrees. The mean
maximum temperature was 1875 de-
grees. The minimum temperature
vas 55.7 degrees, while the mean tenn
)crature for the month was 67.6 de-
rreeS.

NOTARIES CONFER.
Perfect an Organization for the Big
Rosebud Registration.

Chamberlain In accordance with IN
structions from the general lane ONCE
at Washington the notary publics OF
Brule county have had a meeting FOR
the purpose of organizing for the Dig
Rosebud registration. The rules OF
the interior department in regard TO
receiving registrations for this open
ing provide that none but those who
had a notary seal and were actual res
bdents of the county in which the reg
istration town is located on the first
of July shall be eligible to administer
oaths. The notaries of Brule county
have, therefore met and elected the
following officers: L. b. Laughlin,
president; E. z. Crisp, secretary; A.
p. Duncan, treasurer, and H.. 5. He'd
rick and A. G. Hill, executive commit
tee, together with the president.
Judge Witten, who has charge of the
registration in behalf of the federal
authorities, will be in the city on
September 26 for the purpose of COM
pleting arrangements in this city for
the registration. While Chamberlain
has heretofore been designated as a
registration point for similar openings
Of lands, this is the first time that this
town has been the most easterly To-
Gated town named as a registration
point, which iusures that the greatest
number of registrations are certain to
be made at this point.

Enqlsh Suitinus.

There is quite a feeling for fancy
mixture tweeds in neutral dark tones,
melanges in heavy gray, green and
brown. These materials would classi-
fly as English mixtures. Thus far they
have been largely used for travelling
and so-cal!ed sporting costumes; that
is, suits for country wear. golf, tennis
shooting. mountain climbing, etc. But
all of the model makers have collect
lions Of these samples. and a good
deal of confidence is expressed in them
for the coming winter.
That there is concerted effort to
ape English effects, following the cor
onation and other interesting public
and social functions In London is I'M
questionable. Simple. mannish-look-
ing suits Of Scotch and English mix
lures are more typically British; there
fore, M may expect u renewed In

combination is still eminently smart
and 1t permits touches of the most
brilliant color.
The little bordered silks worn all
summer long have also fallen great
ly In price, and dressmakers are put
ting these to good account through
the use Of a little velvet ribbon, which
at once give an autumn touch to the
palest color. Even the bordered
muslins are not impossible for any
body's present use, for with a velvet
ribbon girdle and hem facing-and
the same edge showing about the
neck and ~sleeves-such diaphaaous
little frocks make delightful dinner
and afternoon housefrocks and II Is
always easy to get a color that tones
in with autumn needs.
To go with several little trousseaux
frocks Just turned out in these bar
gain materials, a clever dressmaker
has made some matching jackets Of
thin silk, these showing the short
waist line. and narrow plated tails
which the makers are using SO much.
The silks for these Jackets. all Of
which were unlined except for a little
stiffening Of collars and cuffs, cost
only SO cents a yard. They are cut
with separate sleeves, the tops OF
these scooping far into the shoulders
Of the body part, thus giving the fig
ure something of a contracted look.
Then the gathering Of the lower parts
Of the tiny coats suggests a bunch
mess Of form, but since It is the mode
to look like this it all seems very
smart.
The illustration gives a neat wy,ol
skirt for practical wear, the sort OF
dapper skirt every woman needs for
rainy days, shopping and other little
jaunts which call for simple dress.
The skirt Is of a dark black worsted
serge with ten bands of black worsted
braid, five Of these forming a yoke
effect and the others used at the bot
tom. Each OF these deckings could
very well be In a single piece. and II
the wool used for the skirt proper
is a short length there is no objec-
ton to having the hip band a regular
yoke, and with this device two quite
modest bits Of contrasting material
could be used.
The accompanying shirt waist Is In
a blue and white cotton shifting with
the turnover collar and cuffs soft
finished. and the trim little garment
set off with a black four in hand
satin tie.

Court at DeadWood.

DeadwOod.-Several pleas Of guilty
were received at the opening OF the
fall term Of the state circuit court
here when Judge MCGEE Of Rapid City
presided in the absence of Judge Rice.
Charles Brown, a former night watch
man, admitted the attempted rape OF
two small girls, and was given three
and one-half years in the p~enitentiary.
Brown is a gray-haired man. His wife
recently obtained a divorce from him
on account of his actions. Oliver
LeOnesio of Terry, an Italian, was
fined $40 for attempting suicide.
Leonesio wanted to die SO badly that
he made four separate efforts, but
each was unsuccessful. William Pierce,
a Deadwood colored youth, will spend
a year at Sioux Falls for robbing a
travelling nan of some jewelry sam
pies, while Thomas Hanley and Matt
Matson of Lead received the same SCI
tence for breaking into a hardware
store. Elmer. Christofferson of Lead
got a year for relieving the cash draw
er in a pool hall.

WHEN THE LUCK CHANGED
6roceryman at Last Could Believe
That Things Might Be Com
Ing His Way.

George II. Earle, the Philadelphia
f%nancier, was talking in Washington
about high-over high or rank-f-
nance.
There's a certain type Of flna~
cier," said Mr.. Earle. who, In his
greed for wealth, loses his humanity.
He becomes, in fact, a fac smile Of
Peter Brown.
Peter Brown was q Conshohocken
grocer. He was delivering some gro
ceries In his wagon one morning
when he ran down and badly injured
an old lady. The old lady sued him
and got big damages. A few months
later Brown was on his rounds again
when he ran down and crippled an
old man. The man also sued, and SO
large were the damages awarded him
by a generous Jury that poor Brown
found himself actually on the verge
of ruin.
"One morning about this time
Browns young son rushed into the
shop in great excitement. 'Father!'
he cried. Father! mothers been run
over by old Gobsa Colds 90-horse-
power touring car
The grocer's eyes filled with tears.
and In a voice tremulous with feeling
he exclaimed: Thank heaven. the
luck's changed at last!'"

Made Human Torch of Self.

Turton.-Through a peculiar Incl
dent, Edmund Labrie, a prominent res
ident of Turton, made a human loren
of himself and would have been fatal
lv burned had not he been given
prompt assistance. He had been SUI
fering with rheumatism in his right
arm. He bathed the arm with Ilnl-
ment, using a considerable quantity OF
the liquid, and then wrapped the arm
in cotton batting. This done he de-
cided to enjoy a smoke and filled his
pipe. When he was lighting it the cot
ton batting, saturated with the lini-
ment, caught fire, and before those
nearby could rush to his assistance
and extinguish the flames his arm and
hand were terribly burned. His left
hand also was badly burned.

Child Injured by Dog.

Rapid City.-Becoming suddenly an
gered, a large collie dog with which
she was playing severely bit Susie
Nichols. the 5-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. E. E. Nichols, of this place.
The dog sank its fangs into the side
of the child's head, making a wound
an inch long and into the skull, and
tore n ear. Physicians sewed up the
wounds and the child is doing nicely.
The dog was examined and found free
from any sign of rabies, SO its life
was spared.

CAPTURES Wild Sheen.

Rapid City.-That mountain sheep
still exist in the Bad Lands has just
been proved by Jimmie Reynolds, a
sheepman who resides between the
mouths of Spring and Battle creeks,
on the Cheyenne river. Reynolds now
has a herd of twelve of these wild
sheep corraled with his domestic ami
mails and will keep them. Reynolds
was herding his sheep when he al
across the mountain sheep. They saw
him advancing, and running to the
river, crossed it and fiocked with some
of his own animals, where he separat-
ed the wild sheep from the domestics.

there remained the slightest danger
from fire.
Chief Croker is never still for a
moment He is more of a daredevil
than he would allow any one of his
men to be. The first thing he does
on arriving at a fire is to get as
close to the very center of it as he
can with any hope of coming out
alive. He is running from point to
point about the fire all the time,
urging on the men of every company
and directing them and reproving
them. The sound of a falling wall
usually inspires a fireman to run
from a fire, no matter where the
sound seems to be. Chief Croker5
first motion when the bricks begin to
fall is almost always toward the fire
He has been much criticised for the
risks he has taken in doing this sort
of thing, but he is not a man who
cares for criticism. Before he was
made permanent chief a roof upon
which he ran, knowing that it was
burning under him, fell under his
weight, and he came within a minute
and a half of being burned to death,
This was in a cigar factory at
Ninety-sixth street and First avenue
But no one has ever noticed that the
experience has made the chief any
the less careless of himself.
