not a competent person to look after such
business affairs. Mr. Manahan will bo re
membered as the democratic nominee for

defending Mrs. Fitzgerald and her Interests.
The cose has been In progress for several
days and a number of tilts had passed be
tween the opposing counsel before. Mr.
Manahan was on the witness stand yester
day afternoon and Mr. Burr took it today.
On cross-examination Mr. Manahan stated
that ho was going to produce some docu
ments which would provo that Mr. Burr's
motives in this case were those of perse
cution' of the defendant. * 'Ho intended to
show that Mr. Burr was intentionally mis
representing facts. Mr. Burr became enraged
at onoo , sprang from his seat and advanced
on Mr. Manahan and slapped him In the
laco. Judge Cochran Immediately adjourned
court and said It would not be convened
again until the combative attorneys would
agree to make no further demonstration.
The case was resumed this afternoon with

PIRRRE. S. D. , Aug. 30. ( Special. )
Every point along the llnp of the Northwestern -
western road east as far as Hlghmore re
ports a large number of buyers out for feed
ers , and heavy shipments being made to the
corn fle/ds of Iowa , where the cattle will
be put In shape for the market. The feeder
buyers are paying all the market will stand
nnJ the man with the feeder stock on hand
Is strictly In the push this year. One
ranchman in Sully county recently closed
out all his surplus stock nt $4.20 per 100 ,
and to the same parties disposed of his
cows at $35 per head straight , while he re
ceived $31 per head straight for yearling
stecrr. As it only costs about $5 to grow a
yearling steer , at that price there Is a good
profit In handling them ,
Besides the cattle going out from here ,
nnro horses are being shipped this year
than for any year before. They are going
principally to the St. Paul market , but are
alto being sent to Iowa points , Chicago and
even aa far east as Pittsburg. The shippers
report good prices for their horses and
back their statements by rushing more
horsed upon the market.
There have been but few sheep pent out
aa yet this year , only two consignments go
ing out , but the price Is satisfactory and
several heavy shipments are promised for
later in the season.

Nature's ' Strength tor Weak Men
If you suffer from any weakness peculiar
to men one of the disorders , the direct re
sult ot youthful Indiscretion or excesses
In later years the
very worst possible
thing you can do la
Is to put drugs Into
your stomach. The
medicines all doctors
use for those diseas
es morphine , daml-
a n a , cantbarldes ,
strychnia , phosphor
ous , etc. are deadly
poisons they stimu
late or deaden they
cannot cure. There
are a great many
more drug wrecks
than alcoholic
wrecks. I am telling
you the truth no one
can deny it. I offer
you the only natural
remedy for all weak
men nnd women
ELECTRICITY and
I absolutely guaran
tee a permanent cure
where the Electricity
Is applied by th
grcateat of remedial
agents
DR , BENNETT'S ' ELECTRIC BELT
You get Electricity by treating with my
Bolt In Its purest form. There Is no possi
ble chance for It to Injure you. It does not
stimulate. It must strengthen. To get good
rcBUlts from Electricity , you must have con
stant application several hours at a time.
You cannot do this with the batteries used
In doctoru' offices. It would keep you away
from your business. My Belt does not bother
you a bit and you can work , ride , Jump or
run wtlh It on. I bavo known for many
years that Electricity was the greatest cura
tive agent that would ever bo known. I do
not give drugs at all now. I could make
more money If I did. It does not cost any
thing to write a prescription. I devoted a
coed portion of my life and money In per
fecting my Electric Belt. I do not promUo
It to cure you I guarantee It. The prices of
my Belts are within the reach of all the af
flicted. You can rest assured my Belt will
not burn or blister you , as do all the other
kinds of Electric Belta. It has soft , silken ,
chamois-covered sponge electrodes that en
tirely do away with the burning. They can
be renewed when worn out for 75 cents no
other belt can bo renewed for any price ,
