HeiuilrlnK Sloop's DntunRe.
To W. J. O'Drlcn, superintendent of the
stato fish hatcheries it South Bend, has
been delegated tho onerous task of repair
ing tho damages done the state property
by tho administration of his populist
predecessor, an Omaha saloon keepor
named Sloup. Vigorous weeds, battered
furniture and a depleted stock of fish were
found to comprise the assets placed to tho
credit of the state wlicn Sloup was pried
loose. An enumeration by Mr, O'Brien
howed tho following stock of fish on hand:
Gold fish, 14.); perch, -I; black bass, 75;
crapples, 38; rock bass, 10; stock trout,
400. Thcso, together with 3,000 young
trout, unlit for breeding purposes for at
least two years, and 500 S-year-old trout
showed the entire number on hand.
It Is reported that notwithstanding tho
small quantity on hand at least one mem
ber of tho flali commission made requisi
tion on the former superintendent Just be
fore his retirement for a largo quantity of
fish to stock his private fish ponds and re
ceived a considerable supply, much mora
than the stock on hand would warrant,
though much less than he Intended to se
cure. When Governor I'oynter appointed Sloup
ho took him right from behind the bar
of his saloon at Fourteenth and William
streets, Omaha, and placed hlra In chargo
of tho hatchery. Sloup had no knowledge
of fish and, In fact, was frank and honest
enough to tell tho governor so, but bo was
backed by a rapacious clement of tho
democracy In Douglas county, which de
manded his nppolntmcnt, and with whom,
owing to what was regarded as an In
equitable allotment of tho spoils of office,
Governor I'oynter was In disfavor, and In
sptto of his self-protested Incompetency
Sloup was appointed superintendent. Sloup
knew Just enough nbout the fish business
to know that ho did not know anything
and ho confined his labors to looking wise,
drawing his pay of J100 a month and ex
penses, while tho fish were evicted and de-

order permitting people to grnze cattle on
the forest reservo to the full limit of 7,000
hend for the million or more acres. A
man can have four or less head without
asking for a permit, but beyond that num
ber, to a limit of 120, he must ask per
mission of tho supervisor, showing that he
has the proper rango and that he Intends
to comply with the law.
A proviso was Inserted In this order by
tho secretary which makes It compulsory
for every man raising cattle to assist In
tho putting out of tho forest fires. Until
recently this part of the order has not
been put Into effect. Forest Supervisor
Bullock has now obtained the names of
every man who has availed himself of this
cattlo order and twenty-five brigades have
been organized. There nro twenty divi
sions on tho reserve, each ono being tn
chargo of rangers, whose duty It Is to see
that the laws governing the reservo arc
complied with,
When a fire breaks out on tho reserve, the
cattlo raisers are expected to go Im
mediately and put It out. The first man at
the fire Is to have full charge of the opera
tions until the ranger arrives. In case the
fire gets beyond control of one division of
cattlemen nnd ranger, word Is to be sen
Immediately to nn adjoining district and all
of the peoplo there aro expected to como
to their rescue. After tho fire is out, th
ranger or mat particular district Is re
quired to tnko the names of all tho cattle
men who did not participate In putting th
fire out nnd a list of such persons Is sent t
the general office of the supervisor In Dead
wood. Unless tho persons who did not at
tend tho tire can give a good reason for
their absence, their permits to graze rattl
on tho Black Hills forest reserve nro taken
away from them.
Tho cattlo grazers all over the Hills nre
taking Interest In this plan of Captain Bui
lock and as a consequence several hundred
men stand on guard constantly to put ou
forest fires. Thero are fully 7,000 head of
cattlo on tho reserve. No sheep are al
lowed. It Is considered a flno thing for the
forest to have tho grass kept down by tho
stock.

deaths are caused by
; It heart disease,
pneumonia, heart
failure or apoplexy
r are often the result
of kidney disease. If
kidney trouble Is al
lowed to advance the
II kldnoy-polsone i
blood will attack the
iu. viia i oreans or me
kidneys themselves break down and waste
away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure Is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects Inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain In passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
reallied. It stands the highest for Its won
lerful cures of the most distressing cases.
