OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST F'om the Capitol City, the Various State Institutions and From Many Different Parts of the Sunshine State. Dead wood.—Lovers of hunting for big game in the Black Hills have learned that a great many deer have been killed by wolves and coyotes in the timber in the mountains this win ter. Deep snow, which has not been packed and coated with a heavy crust by periods of thaw and would there fore not sustain the weight of a deer, while it would hold up a coyote or wolf, has rendered the deer powerless to either find safety in flight or fight their enemies with their hoofs, while the fact that their other means of de fense, their horns, were shed last fall, added to their helpless state, while floundering in the snow. Bounty is given for the killing of wolves and coy otes by the counties of the Black Hills, and large numbers of those an imals have been killed this winter by trappers, but they are very numerous in the forests and helpless deer have been killed to provide them with food during the period when rabbits and grouse and other living things have been scarce, because of the severe cold and deep snow. It is probable that at a meeting of the State Game Wardens' association, which will be held in Pierre some time this spring, the question of beginning a war of extermination upon the wolves and coyotes, under the direction of the state game warden, will be discussed, and that means will be adopted, if possible, for killing off these pests and saving the deer. Game Warden Peterson of Law rence county estimates the number of deer killed by other animals during this winter, in the Black Hills, at hun dreds. For Memorial Day. Sioux Falls.—Col. Thomas W. Brown or this city, commander of the G. A. R. for the department of South Da kota, has issued a public notice in ref erence to the approaching Memorial day, in which he calls attention to the state law, which provides that the city councils of all cities within the state, trustees and school boards of all towns and villages and the county commissioners of all counties shall have authority, within their discretion, to appropriate funds for the purpose of defraying the necessary expenses of a proper observance of Memorial day. Col. Brown requests the people of South Dakota to generally observe the day, not by light sports and games, "but with flowers and bowed heads in solemn memory of those who gave the 'last measure of devotion' in order that the nation might live." Scores of cities and towns in the state will make elaborate preparations for the suitable observance of Memorial day, and in this the members of the vari ous G. A. R. posts throughout the state will have the active assistance of the people in general ol. Uteir coBUBMsi tisa. A Curious Relic. Pierre.—Secretary of State S. C.

Patterson has ar^ rived from Bozeman, Mont., to take charge of the Brown county experi ment farm and act as a sort of gen eral adviser to Brown county farmers. Mr. Patterson was engaged by the Brown County Better Farming associa tion and the county commissioners, acting together. The commissioners have set aside 80 acres of the half section farm owned by the county as an experiment farm, and appropriated $500 toward paying the expenses of the enterprise. The Better Farming association, composed largely of Ab erdeen business men, supplies the re mainder of the funds required to oper ate the farm and pay the expert's sal ary. Mr. Patterson, in addition to running the demonstration farm, which will be conducted on scientific lines, will also be at the service of any farmer in the county, free of charge, who desires advice or assist ance in solving any of the problems of successful farming by which he may be confronted. Wherever It is de sired, Mr. Patterson will take charge of a ten or twenty-acre tract for any farmer, giving the farmer instructions regarding the manner of preparing the soil, planting the crop, cultivating and harvesting it, upon the farmer agree ing to follow the expert's directions implicitly. In this way, it is believed, the gospel of scientific farming will be spread throughout the county.

SHE QUIT COFFEE And Much Good Came From It. It is hard to believe that coffee will put a person in such a condition as Hi did a woman of Apple Creek, O. Shf tells her own story: "I did not believe coffee caused n^f trouble, and frequently said I likei It so well I would not quit drinking even if it took my life, but I was miserable sufferer from heart troublt and nervous prostration for four years. "I was scarcely able to go around at all. Had no energy, and did not care for anything. Was emaciated and had a constant pain around my heart until I thought I could not endure it. felt as though I was liable to die aqflt time. "Frequently I had nervous chills ait4 the least excitement would drive sleep away, and any little noise would upv set me terribly. I was gradually gefr ting worse until finally one day. It came over me, and I asked myself what Is the use of being sick all tho time and buying medicine so that I can Indulge myself in coffee? "So I thought I would see if I could quit drinking* coffee, and got some Postum to help me quit. I made It strictly according to directions, and I want to tell you that change was tho greatest step in my life. It was eaajr to quit coffee because I had tho Postum which I like better than I liked the old coffee. One by one tho old troubles left, until now I am in splendid health, nerves steady, heart all right, and the pain all gone. Nev^r have any more nervous chills, donf| take any medicine, can do all iqjp housework, and have done a great deal besides. "My sister-in-law, who visited m» this summer had been an Invalid I some time, much as I was. I got to quit coffee and drink Postum. Sho gained live pounds In three weeks, and I never saw such a one's health." There's a reason."
