be at the old scale of one cent per

is designed to meet the general de-

tribution areas, and also to make
more equitable the second class rates
outside OF the 200 mile limit.
No record vote was taken by the

PIONEER OF BLACK
HILLS DIED WITH
HIS BOOTS OFF

Deadwood, s, D., Nov. 29.-Jack
Daley, a ste. -nerved pioneer, who
came to the Black Hills when the
population of this territory was
made up of miners, gamblers. two
gun men. mule skinnerS and daring
women, is dead, and contrary TO all
predictions he died in 4 hospital
with his boots off
To the few old timers still living
this region or scattered about other
parts Of the country, the death Of
Daley marked the passing of one
of the coolest, braYc,t and most ~
sourceful Irishmer that ever PLACED
trail through the northwest. As a
wit Daley was considered supreme
in his day. As a fighter it was at
one time a hundred to one bet that
he would never die in bed.
About all that is known OF Dalev's
early life is that he drifted into the
Black Hills in 1870. 1t was about ten
years after the big gold strike and
the district was coastwise open. The
principal business-poker and roul-
ette-was conducted with a bang,
day and night.
Daley was cool in a sky-lmit
poker game as he was when the bull
lets sprinkled about him. In the long
winter days, when the snow was
piled so high that travellers neithep
came to Deadwood nor left it. for
tunes passed from hand to hand over
the poker table, and many strange
tales are told Of Daleys lively
career
One story is considered typical.
Daley was in a no-limit game one
night. A miner sitting opposite him
was considered the best buffer in
the Black Hills. Daley wore pair of
new boots and they hurt his feet
When the game grew warm nc re-
moved his boots. Finally, Daley and
the miner began fitting the po. uatil
the other players one by one dropped .
out. Then Daley's opponent pulled a |
heavy leather money bag from his /
pocket and slammed it on the table,
with the remark tnat ne mad hYe /
Of the best cards in the Northwest.
and intended to play them against
the universe.
Daley was silent for a moment.
Then he suddenly picked up one os
his boots and slammed it on the
able.
What are you trying to do?"
shouted his opponent,
There is just as much dust in
hat boot Of mine as there is IN that
bag Of yourn," said Daley calmly.
I'll see what you got
The miner glared at Daley and
withdrew his bag.
you win he declared, and the
.roWd roared.

Dentists tell us that acid mouth causes
the eating away Of enamel on the teeth,
substance much harder than bone.
Keep the mouth free from acid" they
say, "and there will be little or no dan
ger Of decayed teeth"
Think of this -- you can at once see
what an excess amount of acid in the
stOmach-acid-stom in the
way of undermining ones health and
strength
Many people make the awful mistake
of thinking that acid-stomach - super
acidity as the doctors call it - merely
causes an occasional attack of indiges-
ton, bloat, heartburn, bclching, sour
gassy stomach and similar troubles that
can quickly be remedied-and leave no
serious after effects. AS a matter of fact
superacidity is responsible for a long
train of serious ailments. 1t sometimes
creates conditions which BATTLE the best
medical skill. 1t is a well established
fact that most cases of chronic stomach
trouble, anemia, stomatitis, gastritis
rheumatism, gout lumbago, intestinal
ulcer, many cases of cancer of the stom-
ach, valvular heart trouble and heart
failure find their start in acid-stomach
The excess acid must be removed. The stomach
must be kept pure sweet and strong, free digest
food properly. That is tie only way to avoid
The evil consequence of acid stomach and to enjoy
vigorous, robust health
wonderful preparation makes it possible
to quickly remove acd-stomach. 1t is called
EATONlC-a pleasant tasting compound that you
eat like candy.
EATONIc literally wipes out the hurtful excess
acid and drives the bloat out of the body. You can
fairly feel work. 1t is absolutely harmless and
matter how weak delicate the stomach may be-

which accommodated 900 men, was
opened in September, 1917, the first
cadets being given flying instruc-
tions on Sept II, that year. During
the winter the training OF mechanics

which cost the government about
81 100000. As a primary school, its
instruction Of pilots was rated high
as is shown by the fact that half OF
the pilots were sent to pursuit
schools and the men rated in the
first grade OF excellence are those
taken for work in scouts.
The original field consisted OF 64O
acres, a mile square, and was leased
bv the Bellcvillc Board OF Trade for
three years. the government, instead
of being the tenant, rcimbursing the
Bcllcvile Board OF Trade. Later
another tract Of los acres near Mas
coutah, ILL.,. was leased as an annex.
The government expended 100000
in piping water from Belleville, and
St. Clair county expended 100000
on hard road from Belleville to the
camp.
The field was equipped with all
the modern buildings of the govern
mcnt camps. A $4,000 bathing pool
and bath house was recently COM
pleted by the Athletic Association

mer.

! COUNTY COURT TERM
, CANCELLED BECAUSE
Of INFLUENZA

A term OF the county court for
'the trial of criminal cases had been
called to begin Monday and jury
was being summoned. To-day Judge
Thomas w. Champion cancelled the
yenire for the jury and there will be
no jury trials during the term, but
lthe court will be open for such mo-
tions and other business as may
come before the judge.
This postponement was caused oy
the following letter, addressed to
Judge Champion, by DR.. Walter
Hardy, superintendent OF public
Health for Carter county;
You having consulted me about
the advisability of holding the De
.cember term OF court, believe that,
lin justice to the public, it is impera-
tive that you postpone this Tor the
term. owing to the re-infection we
are having from the influenza. 1t is
becoming more prevalent and while
it is milder in form, there is danger
from assembling people from the
various parts OF the county in the
courthouse"
There are over 100 criminal cases
lon the docket for trial at this term.
'Afhese are all, OF course, misde-
meanor cases. the county court not
having jurisdiction in fenoly cases.
The possession and transportation
OF liquor pistol cases, appeals from
justices OF the peace, or from the
police court, malicious mischief
fighting, drunkenness, using OBJ
,scene language, and other offenSes
There are cases for SANDER. for de-
ifrauding boarding houses, wife aban
donment and many others in which
the defendants are here and in which
pleas of guilty may be entered and
will be accepted.
But among the first class of cases,
many Of the defendants are in the
army. Judge Champion said today
that out OF the something more than
100 cases. seventy-fiye of the de
iendants are in the service OF the
United States and most OF them
overseas. He said he would dismiss
the cases against the men now in
the service, so that when they re-
turn from the war. they may start
with clean slate Hall or more OF
al, the witnesses in the cases are in
the army. Most OF tSe witnesses
mat are in the county have been
se5ved but Sheriff Garrett this morn
ing instructed his deputies to serve
20 more process for witnesses tor
