The aches and pains of Rheumatism become a constant com panion to all who are victims of this disabling disease. The people generally are not acquainted with the cause of the dis ease , though thousands know its tortures. Everybody should know that Bhenmatism is a peculiar condi tion of the blood upon which all liniments in the world can have no effect whatever.

Swift's Specific , being the only real blood remedy , never fails to cure Rheumatism. It reaches even the worst cases where the doctors have made cripples with their prescriptions of potash and mercury.

They are begin ning to realize the fiot that they are losing hundreds of thousands ot dollars annually hy not having enough cattle to eat the crass oa the range. During the bniinees depres sion which &M been untvero&l the part few years the cattlemen have been reaping regu lar aad liberal profits. Last winter -was an unusually severe one ana a large number of cattle perished In ihe conntics bordering oa the Missouri river , yet fifty miles to the westward the ground was bare nearly all winter and the stock went through witi but 11 tile lots. In .fact , the percentage of loss In Jackson. Nowlla , Sterling and Zle- bach counties has never amounted to over S or 10per cent In any one -winter during the tnaay years thai cattle have been raled upon that range , There are scores of etoekioea living In these counties and on the Indian reserva tion ( the latter being equawmen ) who com menced business with a few head of cat. tie and now number their herds by the thousands. In early days that section wajs e. favorite feeding ground for vast herds of buffalo aad antelope and highly esteemed as a hunting ground by the Slour , who wrested It from the Rees after a prolonged and bloody warfare. After the rush of gold teekers in the Black Hills In 1S76 freight roads were established between the Missouri river and the Black Hills. and long trains of ox teams , tea yoke in a team , and each team dragging three huge wagers coupled togeta- cr and driven iy one "bull- * backer , " were busily engaged in hauling supplies from the river to the mining camps. Theie cattle were worked hard during the summer month * without feed other than the native gr * sea. .In the winter they nere turned loose upon Bad river to rustle for them selves until crass should start again Th winter of l&SG was the hardest ever known is this section , with snow from a foot to eighteen inches deep on the level , but the cattle wallowed through drifts to the hill sides. blown bare by the wlrds , tnawed down the bushes along the creeks.and nearly all of them turned up In the spring somewbit emacltted , it is true , but only re quiring a few weeks of new grass to make them .ready for the yoke and another sum mer's hard work There were several small ranches scat tered along Bad. White and Cheyenne rivers. when the railroad -Has completed to Rep d City , and the overkzd freighting became a thing of the past- Since that time the num ber of ranches and amount of stock upon the rarge has steidily Increased , and thi fall there Is a regular boom in the cattle busi ness throughout this region.

Nov. 20 ( Special Tele- grain. ) The direct testimony in the Uaybew csse was completed this fore noon and the only testimony Introduced this afternoon was in rebuttal byi the state. The arguments were beinin this afternoon aad will be continued later tonight. Tiis case as preserved by the state shows that Mayhew failed to turn over all the money due at the time he turned over the office. The defense has shown a full settle ment. but made several days after the office was turned over , and the testimony Is that the mon y lay either in a vault in the audi tor's oSce or la a bank from the time of the turning over to the time of settlement. The complaint charpes appropriation to his owa use. This is the case as It will go befors the jury. The arguments so far presented by the sttte ask for a conviction oa failure to turn over and folding that to have b en embezzlement , while the defease takes the position that the charge of the complaint has beea ia no * ay proven.

As he did this. Shack started to run with the truck onwhich the barrel was loaded and Wlllets ran along beside it , with one hand done in the meat. Shack then stopped the truck and struck Willeis over tbo left eye. Before he recovered from this blow Shack struck him in the mouth , loosea- inp three teeth , two of which have elnce fallen out. After these two blows Shack started to close ia on Willets and the latter threw up his right hand as a guard , forget ting that he BUIl held the butcherknife with ahich he had been working.
