Secretary "Wilson, of llic Agricultural
Departinoiit, Visits this Itcgion
to Stio What Is NcMfdeil,
Last Saturday evening, Secretary
Wilson, of the Agricultural Depart­
ment,
had
arrived from Denver, where he
been attending a meeting of the
National Live Stock Association. He
was accompanied here by Senator Kitt-
redge,
who went to Denver to meet the
secretary. Congressman Martin was
here
to greet the visitors. They all
remained over Sunday and enjoyed
the
$
magnificent day immensely. Sat­
urday
evening and during Sunday a
number
of townspeople called upon the
party.
Sunday a ride was given them
by Col. Goddard. Secretary Wilson
was
shown the Trimmer orchard, in
the
lower part of the city and he pro­
nounced
it one of the most thrifty or­
chards
he ever saw.
Secretary Wilson had particularly
observed the excellence of the building
stone about here, and said that it was
most beautiful aud gave evidence of
being the best there is.
Secretary Wilson is of course princi
pally interested in agriculture, so far
as his official duties are concerned,
and is taking a deep interest in obtain
ing forage plants and grains that are
best adapted to this semi-arid region.
He says: "There is a day coming when
every acre of land in the mountain
country will produce something. Our
agents have gone to the euds of the
earth to get plants where there is 110
more moisture than here. From the
northern part of Algiers and from the
head of tho Volga, in Russia, we have
secured corn that grows on ten inches
rainfall." lie says that tho national
irrigation act is going to do wonders
for tho west and will bring agricultur
alists here who will develop and prop
erly till the soil.
The matter is being considered of
placing the forest reserves in the hands
of tho agricultural department, instead
of the interior department, and it was
to partially examine the Black Hills
forest reserve that brought Secretary
Wilson hero. Front here lie went to
Sylvan Lake and into the forest reserve,
accompanied by Senator Kittredge,
Congressman Martin and Supt. ISul
loek, of tho forest reserve.
Regarding tho cattle dipping propo
sition, which is in the hands ot' his de
partment, Secretary Wilson said they
had the matter well in hand and that
he thought there would be no delay or
hindrance to cattle shippers, as there
would be plenty of inspectors to do the
work.
Secretary Wilson expressed himself
as greatly pleased with Hot Springs,
its beautiful scenery, magnificent cli
mate, the picturesque location of Bat
tle Mountain National Sanitarium, aud
was much impressed and gratified with
his brief visit here.

.1. H. Halo Considering ICstablishing One
In the City of Hot Springs.
J. H. Hale, recently from Chillicothe,
Mo., an educator and teacher of busi
ness courses of eight years experience,
is in the city with a view to establish
ing a commercial college here. He has
made arrangements so that he can se
cure the college buildiug and will es
tablish the school if he can be assured
of twenty scholarships to begin with.
He is meeting with encouragement aud
at the price he has placed upon the
first twenty scholarships, 320 each, it
seems that there should be no trouble
in getting started. There are certainly
a large number of young people in Hot
Springs and surrounding country—in
fact all through the Hills—who would
be glad of an opportunity to attend
such an institution in the Hillb. Mr.
Hale is right up to date in the profes
sion, comes highly recommended, is
full of vim, push and enterprise, and
he would doubtless establish a school
that would reflect credit upon the
town and briug many young people
here. We hope he will meet with hear
ty encouragement in his undertaking.
Teachers' Examination.
The next teachers' examination for
State and Grade Certificates will be
held in the court house, at Hot Springs,

BLACK HILLS. HOT SPRINGS. SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY. AUGUST 12, 1904.
MAY RICH,
Co. Supt.
Poixont.
Snake poiaon would kill the stiongetii
man if the smallest possible drop of it
were injected into his veins ur laid on
a cut liiig'T or chapped lip. Hut the
smallest child might, drink a tensprnn
l'ul—probably a glassful—without suf
fering (he least injury. The same is
inu: of most of the poisons savages in
ject into their arrows, and yon can
suck the dangerous wound with im
punity.
Arsenic eaters become so accustomed
to the use of this drug that: one of
them could eat as much of it in a week
ns would kill a troop of cavalry, horses
and all. If a man took a dose of lunar
caustic and his wife :i dose of hydro
chloric acid they would he subjects for
a coroner's inquest in a very short time.
Hut if either the man or the woman
took both doses together the resultwould
hardly be different from that of taking
so much strawberries and cream. If
two men each took a small (juautity of
hemlock one might drop dead., if he
had a fatty heart, and the other feel
only a slight inconvenience, if his heart
was all right.
Korean Patriotism.
Homer H. Hurlbert in lils "Korea,
the Hone of Contention" in the May
Century says: The Koreans have been
called an unpatriotic people. This may
be true if patriotism means a passion
ate desire for the welfare of one's
country, but if a consuming desire for
tho preservation of national identity is
patriotism ihen the Koreans are in
deed patriotic. The one thing they
fear is national extinction, whether
such extinction would mean better gov
ernment or not. They would rather
live without equitable government,
without sanitation, without education,
without any of the concomitants of
civilization, if with these they must
also accept foreign domination.

THE SAD, SAD, STORY
Dead wood Came Down With Their Strong
Aggregation of Ball Tossers and
Did Things to Our Boys.
On Saturday and Sunday the Dead
wood and Hot Springs ball teams con
tested on the home grounds for the
championship of the Black Hills. We
are no longer the champions, and the
reason for it is briefly told in the
fol­|
lowing synopsis of the two games.
Deadwood's ball handlers were too
much for our team, and they won by
superior all-'round playing. Their
team is a very fast one and Cheat wood,
who opened the season as a slab artist
for Hot Springs, proved to be some
thing of an enigma to his old team
mates, while Williams, who pitched
Sunday's game, was also very effective.
The following is our mournful tale:
Dead wood lead off at the bat Satur
day and for four innings Ballinger,
who engineered the ball from the box
to Coe's mitt, let them down without a
tally, but iu the fifth they connected
safely and scored two times in the
sixth they failed to do any business, in
the seventh tho agony commenced and
before it was over five men had scored,
aud in the eighth five more trotted
around home and cinched the game,
but in order to make it good and strong
they took two more iu the ninth.
Hot Springs made their first runs in
the third inning when two trotted into
camp on Driscoii's home run hit, the
fourth failed to record anything good,
the fifth saw three more chalked up,
sixth and seventh were blanks, the
eighth was good for two, and in the
ninth two more but we were still shy
of the required number and defeat
number one was placed to our credit.
Score by innings:
Hot Springs 00203002 2— 9
Dead wood 00002055 2—14
Sunday the Deadwood team was the
first up and proceeded to transact a
profitable business right at the start,
hitting LeCroix's benders quite freely,
two runs being gathered owing to Pet
erson's homer, again in the third Mr.
Peterson made a home and chased in a
man ahead of him and they also scored
two more besides, fourth only one, fifth
nothing doing, the sixth three, seventh
three, eighth and ninth blank.
Hot Springs got five runs in this
game, in this fashion: Blanks in first
and second, three good ones in the
third, blanked fourth and fifth, sixth
got one, and in the ninth one.

Driscoll and Coe, two of our best
men, left Sunday night for Sioux City,
where they joined the Sioux City Wes
tern League team. We were sorry to
see them go, as it greatly weakens the
team.
Games are scheduled for the next
four days. Friday and Monday with
the militia team, and Saturday and
Sunday with the colored team from
Fort Robiuson. Some fast ball will be
seen in these games.
Messers Brown and Kelly, two new
men to take the places of Driscoll and
Coe, arrived from Denver Wednesday
night. They show up in good form
and we hope will make good.
HOSPITAL NOTES.
The citizens of Chadron, Neb., have
again shown their kind interest ih the
Sisters Institution at Hot Springs.
Last week means were solicited from
Chadron citizens to purchase a hand
some awning and place it over the
front porch of the sanitarium. This
adds much comfort and beauty to the
Brotherhood's rooms.
Conductor Finnegan and wife, of
Chadron, have just completed furnish
ing a very handsome room at Our Lady
of Lourdes Hospital. This beautiful
room is much appreciated, as its equip
ment adds much to comfort and beauty
of the sick room.
