WIND GAVE AND VICINITY.


Sept. H. 1916.
The Tanner boys are enjoying e visit
| from their mother and sister, who came
through by auto from Idaho.
| Forest and Miles Raver have been
busy hauling lumber to Hot Springs
with two four horse teams the last few
days.
j. G. Blaine, of the Forest Service,
was fixing up the drift fence between the
Wind Cave Park and the Harney For
est Reserve.
George Drenkhahn, one of the old
guides of the Wind Cave, spent Sunday
at that institution He is a step brother
Of Mcdonald, the guide who is buried
near the Cave.

family and father made the Game Pre-

They were going to the upper hills on u
| pleasure trip.
Ed. Shalhoob, of Pringle, passed
| through here Saturday in his new car.
The car man has been rather fortunate
In making sales around Pringle in the
last few weeks, the latest sales being to
Chas. Pringle and Joe Conlon, both gem
tlemen buying an Overland"
I, w. Brazell, Supervisor of the Wind
Cave Park, left Saturday evening for
Texas to be gone for two or three weeks.
He is interested in large land holdings
in that state, and has gone there for the
purpose of closing out his interests Roy
Brazell will act as Supervisor during his
absence.
Bert Graves, of Buffalo Gap passed
through here last Saturday enroute to
the Raver saw mill. Mr. Graves reports
crops in his section as good, and says the
farmers are very optimistic as to the
future. "One evidence Of prosperity"
he says, lis the fact that they are once
more buying lumber to build"
Bud" Dalrymple, a wolf trapper from
Scenic, S. d., was looking over the park
last week with view of locating here
for few months this winter to assist
the warden in ridding the preserve of
coyotes. Mr.. Dalrymple comes well
recommended, and it would be TO the
interest of the stockmen of this vicinity
to assist in getting him located here for
a while
The latest rumor is that Chris Jensen,
the old solver of passenger transporta-
ton problems, will put on three or four
twenty-five passenger autoes between
Hot Springs and Sylvan Lake via Wind
Cave to take care of the growing passen-
ger trade. Chris believes that he can
operate these cars so that he can allow
the travelling public to see these wonder
spots of the Black Hills at a nominal
cost, and that he can run these cars on
a regular scheduled time.

Association. Program Spicy and
Full of Variety.

The Buffalo Gap Fair OF last Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday was far and
away the best and biggest of any in the

complimented on the efficiency with
which it was able to pull off the events
Each number on the program was full
of life and there were no tiresome waits
between acts.
There were thousands of Fall River

CATARRh

CATARRH
Just because you hawk and spit and
your nose is wet, cold, red, sore and
a nuisance, don't merely plug it up
your nose. Take S. s. 8. regularly
and you will drive catarrhal poisons
out of your blood. The membranes
will soon recover and no longer CON
tinue to accumulate the mucous that
gathers and thickens into catarrh.
S. S. S. stimulates the cells of the It's
sues to select from the blood their own
essential nutriment. Rapid recovery
from catarrhal inflammation in the stom-
ach, kidney, bladder and all mem
branes is the result.
MALARIA.
Throughout the country, wherever
malaria abounds, are happy, joyful
people to whom s. 8. S. has given won
derful help in the treatment Of mala-
ria after the most sickening torture
imaginable.
The gaunt complexion Of malaria's
victims, the chills and fever, the ma
larial dysentery that seems to defy all
other treatment, the malarial leg, the
enlarged liver, the persistent anemia
where the blood turns to water and
the system wastes away. These are
the conditions that S. 8. s. so effectu-
ally ASSISTS in overcoming, by helping
to restore the blood to It's natural vig0r.
STUBBORN SORES
Sometimes sore spot becomes indo-
lent. The tissues. surrounding 1t lose
tone and are unable to provide suff-
cient nutriment to stop the drain. 1t
is then chronic. Just saturate your
blood with s. s. 8. This is quickly
accomplished, as s. 8. s. is naturally
assimilated the same as milk or any
other healthful liquid.
Nature acts with marvellous rapidity
when given the proper assistance, and
S. s. s. so stimulates cellular activity
that the parts surrounding an ulcer Sc
lect from the blood the materials that
make new tissue. Thus the sore spot
rapidly heals in a natural way.
Local applications for any skin dis
ease will afford protection from with

JUSTICE To IRISH
IS BASED ON FACTS
Of PARTICIPATION
Suspicion Is Not Enough Nor
Does Court Allow Charges
Pertaining TO Vengeance to
Be Heard

DUBLIN, Friday, May 5.-(via Lon
don, May 6.)-Justice is being dealt
out to the Sim Feiners on the pure
facts proved by incontestible testimony
regarding their active participation In
the recent rebellion. Suspicion is not
enough, and vengeance for the killing
of soldiers or the destruction of prop
erty does not enter the minds of the
military judges. There is no dragon
ing to death of the rebels.
The Associated Press was placed in
a position today to obtain first hand
information of the entire system of
the charge, evidence, trial and sentence
in the cases. AS soon as a rebel falls
into the hands of the authorities his
identity is established, and the reports
of officers and soldiers concerned in
the capture are written down. Then a
preliminary inquiry is held and law
yers draw up the charge
The next process is the formation
of a field general court-martial. of
which three are sitting to dispose of
cases rapidly. Each court Is composed
of three superior army officers. Only
one of the nine judges participated in
the suppression of the rebellion, so it
cannot be alleged that the officers act
ing as judges will bring prejudice to
bear arising from their personal feel
ings.
Before the prisoner is brought before
the court the charge against him Is
read in full in order that the accused
may prepare to defend himself when
facing the judges. He has no legal de-
fender, but should he desire to call wit
nesses the court Immediately calls
them to testify in complete freedom.
The court sits in a barrack room,
unsurrounded by the wigs, gowns and
ceremonial of the usual civil courts.
The first proceeding is the reading of
the charge. Then comes testimony for
the prosecution. after which the pris-
oner pleads.
The judges then consider the facts
and deliver Judgment Should SEN
tence be death, the prisoner is asked
whether there are any relations or
friends he would like to see. If so,
they Immediately are brought to his
place of confinement. He also 10 per-
m1tted to have the services of a cler-
gyman, who remains with him until
just before the sentence is carried out.
Meanwhile the judgment is laid be-
fore Sir John Maxwell. the commander
.in-chief in Ireland, for confirmation
General Maxwell is very humane, but
he has a strong will, combined with a
judicial mind and a strict sense of
duty. He never has failed to peruse
the evidence himself before putting the
final seal on a sentence. He Is in
clined to leniency in cases where tho
facts permit him to exercise it, as is
shown in a number of instances since
the trials commenced.
The confirmed judgment is promul-
gated by an army officer and the fol-
lowing morning the prisoner is shot.
The execution is carried out in the
same way as in the field. The prisoner
is blindfolded and placed in front of al
firing squad, whose first volley is al
ways fatal.

BERLIN, May 6.-CNia London -
Discussing the German answer to the
American note Georg Bernhard in the
Nossische Zeitung says:
1t will not be expected of us in view
of our attitude toward this question.
that We should greet with noisy JOY
the way which our government takes to
avoid conflict"
However. he says. if it should end
the uncertainties and if the hopes pin
ned on President Wilson's future course
should be realized he will join in the
general rejoicing.
The Norwaerts warmly praises the
answer. The government. il says. did
what all the commandments of politi-
cal wisdom required"
Declaring that German-American
conflict is indeed not Yet finally settled.
but that its temporary adjustment will
give time for a mutual, cool and objec-
tive consideration and further oppor-
tunity TO reach a final understanding.
the Norwaerts points out that the new
orders to submarine commanders coin
eide with the demands made by the So
cialistic working alliance in the reich
stag.
Die HOSt says Germany course was
dictated by the realization of her own
strength. There can, however, be no
further concessions. the newspaper adds.
The Hamburg Nacrichten declares. that
never before did mighty state make
such concessions in the midst OF a strug-
gle for existence. The Boersen ZeitIng
calls the note pleasant surprise in
that il dissipated fears lest the govern
meGt might make too great concessions.

NEW YORK. April 29.-HaVe you
little reptile i'm your home?
If not. you ought TO grab the next
snake you encounter and carry it home
for the Riddles to play with! So says
allen Samuel Williams, apostle of SER
pcnthood.
Williams once took 500 snakes into
his house TO live with him. Having
learned all about them he is travelling
over the country with q suitcase full
of reptiles and converting boys and
girls at the rate of several thousand
a year into snake lovers.
"Of all wild creatures the easiest to
tame and adapt to home companionship
* the snake" says Williams, who has
an office in the Metropolitan tower from
where he will soon start on his annual
tour 70 hundreds Of summer camps to
lecture &c boys and girls. Williams is
devoting his life to fighting the fear
and hatred of snakes.
Snakes and little children get along
beautifully together.
IF fear and hate of reptiles were in
stinctive CHILDREN and women, most sub
lect TO sucn influences, would have the
most uncomfortable panic when con-
fronted with the creatures. But con-
trary to I'll common belief. ] have found
girls and women are much less afraid
o. snakes than men!
"On the entire North American con-
tinent there are only two families and
four species of venomous snakes. East
of the Mississippi and north of the
Potomac there are about score of alb
solutelv harmless snakes to two kinds
that can hurt humans.
so there is little reason for the
historical clubbing to death of every
snake that crosses your path.
"Once you have learned the simple
means of distinguishing the four poi
sonous species. the sport of collecting
snakes becomes fascinating and Is with
out risk.
ANY SNAKE WILL BITE.
ANY snake will bite. but only with
his food teeth, which are as t1ne as fish
bones. and make only a little puncture
or scratch. Since the snake swallows
his food whole, there is no decaylng
matter caught in his teeth, and when
he does bite, you needn't even use per-
oxide on the scretch. ~-....-
Snakes are nervous creatures, and
feel quickly whether they are being
handled by a person who fears or who
understands them.
THE common black snake is the most
highly nervous while the python is said
10 be the most intelligent, but because
OF It's IHllNeu means VI SAPi NAAS
depth of a snakes intelligence cannot
be sounded satisfactorily.
"Of all the foolish superstitions about
snakes one of the silliest is the belief
that the tongue, which the snake darts
out at you when hesis cornered, is a
sting.
1T serves as a tongue, as a feeler
for use when the snake is blind during
the time his skin is scaling off. and
lastly as his ears! 1t cannot hurt you
any more than any other part of the
snake can"
