Deadwood.-The printing outfit of
the Deadwood Telegram, Of which E.
L. Sem Is the publisher, was moved
into the street on an allegation OF non
payment of rent. In an explanation
Of the situation. published in his
newspaper a few days ago, Mr.. Sem
stated that he had counter claims and
that the issues would go into court.
He charges his personal enemies in
Deadwood with conspiring to force
him out of business here on account
Of the fight waged by the Telegram
against immoral resorts. In his last
Issue MI. Sem declared that he would
20 to the legislative session at Pierre
and labor for laws to compel the cor
rection of conditions at Deadwood and
that he would secure backing to con.
tinue another paper here, if only a
week. He warned his opponents that
the only way to make him leave Dead
wood for good, is to clean up the town,
as he has been demanding. The ma.
terial of the Telegram will be stored
for the present and the publication OF
the paper discontinued until Mr.. Sem
gets ready to renew his contest.

WAR ON
Rosebud Man Trying to Garner the
Grain Market.

Winner.-P. II. Simons, who until
place. has started a war upon the
elevator companies in the Rosebud by
raising the prices of farm produce
from 6 to 10 per cent and storing it.
Simons claims that the elevators have
for some time ~endeayored to drive
him out of the coal business. He sold
his coal business last week and be-
gan buying all corn and grain Of
fered on the streets. paying the first
day 4 cents more than offered by the
elevator companies.
The elevator companies for a few
days began to hold their own, until
Simons forced them to give him the
business by raising the price still high
er, to the great enjoyment of the farm
ers in this vicinity.
Simons claims there are 500. 900
bushels of corr In Trip county alone,
and that by raising the price Of the
product to the extent he has in the
past two weeks has meant a difference
of 100000 to the farmers.
Since the fight started many farm
ers have begun to bring their product
to Winner instead Of other markets.
Simons says there will be no let up
on high prices and that he has un-
limited capital to put into grain and
that he will continue to pay more

Winter Feeding Point.

Belle Fourche.-At the present
time there are $1,000 head OF sheep
winter feeding in the Belle Fourche
valley. The number would have been
greater had there not been a partial
financial stringency early In the win.
ter, preventing many stockmen
financing their operations. These
sheep are being fattened for market
and their shipment will commence
in about ten days. Everything points
to the Belle Fourche valley becoming
n Of the greatest winter feeding
points in the country, as conditions
there are ideal for producing that re-
suit.

the kidneys, they become overworked;

sorts Of distress. particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy:
take a tablespoonful in q glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, comi
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid.

Pierre.-Rabbit hunts are the order
of the day in the western and central
parts of the state, the hunts generally
being by two parties under captains,
with a supper as the prize, the cost
to be stood by the loosers. In such
a recent hunt in the vicinity of Of
tumwa, Stanley county, the game
gathered made a load for a four horse
team to haul to the railway at Mid
land from which point they were
shipped east. About q thousand rab-
bits were killed in the hunt, and there
does not appear to be any appreciable
shortage in the number of these ami
mails in that section.

NO TRACE or ENGINEER.
Last Trace IL When He Stopped at
Flower Store to Purchase Roses.

WV ~ ssSoSOs
Aberueen.-Oflcials 30 far have
been unable to find Gardner 3. Spit
tier, the young locomotive engineer,
who disappeared here on December
Is, while on his way from Huron to
Crandall, S. D., where he was to have
been married that day to Miss Emma
Lawson. The last seen of Splitter, so
far as a be ascertained here, is
when he stopped at an Aberdeen flow
er store and ordered two dozen white
roses. asking the clerk to send them
to the Milwaukee & st. Louis station
before train time, if he did not call
COR th>m. Later he called for the
flowers and took them with him. At
both Ills visits to the flower store he
was accompanied by a stranger, and
this stranger was with him when q.
w. Hurst superintendent of police.
met Splitter on the street the same
day.
Splitter was a stranger to the flow.
er store people, but his description
tallies with that given OF the MAI who
bought the white roses. and the de-
scription Of the man accompanying
the purchaser of the roses tallies with
that OF the man Hurst saw with Spit
tier. Splitter is known to have had
a considerable amount of money en-
his person. as he intended to take his
bride to Chicago for a honeymoon trip
after their marriage at Crandall. The
records of the Milwaukee & st. Louis
station here show no tickets we're sold
for Crandall from Aberdeen on De-
cember Is.
