PIERRE, SOUTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JUNE 30 904 NO. 7 MYSTERIES OF NATURE. Some of the Many Thing* That Find No Rtuily Kiplarnition. Whatever opens up new doors or windows for us into the world about us, whatever widens the field of our interests and sympathies, has some sort of value, says John Burroughs In Country Life In America. But much of the so called nature study opens no new doors or windows. It affords no mental satisfaction or illumination or aesthetic pleasure. It is mainly potter ing with dry, unimportant facts and details. Do you know the edelweiss flowers or our own matchless arbutus after you have merely analyzed and classified them? No more than you know a man after having weighed and measured him. The function of things is always interesting. What do they do? How do they pay their way in the rigid economy of nature? How do they survive? Why do the rjtots of trees flow through the ground like "run nels of molten metal," often separating and uniting again, while the branches are thrust out in right lines or curves? Why is our common yellow birch more often than any other tree planted upon a rock? Why do oaks or chest nuts so often spring up where a pine or hemlock forest has been cleared away? Why does lightning so com monly strike a hemlock tree or a pine or an oak and rarely or never a birch? Why does the bolt sometimes scatter the tree about and at others only plow a channel down its trunk? Why does the bumblebee complain so loudly when working upon certain flowers? Why does the honeybee lose the sting when it stings a person, while the wasp, the hornet and the bumblebee do not? HoW does the chimney swal: low get the twigs it builds its nest with? From what does the hornet make its paper? I have never been greatly interested in spiders, but I have always wanted to know how a certain spider managed to stretch her cable squarely aero? the road In the woods about my height from the ground. SENTENCE SERMONS. The aimless life cannot be the end less life. A rough diamond is worth much pol ished dirt. There is no comfort where no com passion is. They who put pleasure first are the last to find it. Awkward deeds are better than, elo quent dreams. The finest music heard in heaven is made on earth. No man ever reached a joy by jump ing over a duty. Wandering afar is not essential to the welcome of home. Finding flaws in the sermon is easier than following it any day. People who advertise their troubles never clear off their stock. There is no promise of pardon for confessing the sins of otherB.—Chicago Tribune. Living on a Few Centa a Day. The problem of living on a few cents a day is not so difficult of solution if one cares to limit oneself to the actual necessaries. For instance, we could point to the workers in the turpentine forests, win labor hard from sun to sun ou a bill of fare that costs not more than or 15 cents per meal. The average ration of a turpentine "hand" in the woods per week is five pounds of bacon or pork, one peck pf corn meal, one quart of molasses and a piut of salt. The value of this ration is about $1 to $1.10. The real problem, then, is not really how cheaply may one live, but how many of the extras of eatiug one is willing to do without. Savannah News. 7a* 'ft Where He Made Ills Start. A squire in a -certain town had just finished marrying a young couple and proceeded in a paternal way to give them good, solid advice. Turning to llie bridegroom, he said: 'ivever spend your money extrava gantly and be saving in every way possible." The bridegroom listened .respectfully and then remarked: "Well, judge, we might as well begin an you." And he proceeded to give the squire 50 cents for tying the knot Philadelphia Ledger.' "Vn "Stonewhll'i" Comment. r%2"^ At a council of generals eariy the civil war one of them remarked that Major was wounded and would be unable to perform a certain duty for which he had been suggested. "Wound ed!" said old Stonewall Jackson. "If that is really so I think it must hftve been by an accidental discharge of his iuty." A Doubtful d^nipromine. "I've worn out six pairs of shoes," raid^ the collector, "coming after you with this bill." "Don't let that bother you" replied the editor. "I've got an old pair that'!' fust frvoti." Kodol Ctti* JULY 19 THE DATE Central Committe Meets and Fixes Tuesday, July 19, as Date For Republican Primaries. Rules and Regulations for Election Practically the Same as Heretofore, Pursuant to a call of Chairman Cut ting, the republican central committee and the numerous candidates for nom ination met at the Commercial Club rooms in the city of Pierre Tuesday evening to discuss matters relative to the primary election and .to fix upon a (date. There was a very light attendance of committeemen from the outside pre cincts. The date for the primaries was fixed for Tuesday, July 19, between the hours of 1 and 5 p. m. The qualifications for voters at the primaries were, left the same as two years ago. They are as follows: That the person tendering his vote is a qualified elector of this county and of the precinct in which he tenders his vote. That he voted for the republican ticket at the last general election if he was a voter and cast his ballot at that election. That he will agree to vote for the re publican couuty ticket at the ensuing general election. The judges of the various precincts shall have power to, before receiving any vote, compel the person offering the same, if chalenged, to deliver in writing his qualifications under the, foregoing provisions, Blanks for this purpose will be furnished the judges. The date for the county convention is July 25, and the place of holding is Pierre, at 2:30 o'clock p. m. For this convention one delegate at large from each preciuct will be elected and one delegate for every fifty votes or major frj*etion,jfchereof. cast, for Hon. C, JsL Herried for governor in 1^02.

HIGH GRADE BEEF VALUES STEADY Good cattle were fairly steady and in demand, but the supply of native half fat, grassy and common stuff was even larger thah looked for and buyers drove in the wedge, which is rapidly separat ing values of prime and other grades several notches farther, says Kappal liroB. & Co. of Chicago, in a special let ter to the Free Press, under date of June 25, and they advise as follows: A miniature craze for livestock spec ulation has imbued the country since the recent upturns in prices set in. Speculators have been in the saddle ever since the bulge began, and have thrown so much common beef on the market, particularly this week, that val ues naturally decended. Top cattle sold at $6.65 this week and many droves went over the scales at $6.25 and $6.50. Buyers berated quality, declaring that dressing tests had proved disasterous to their reputations, and they wielded their liammers viciously on low grade cattle, and the week's downturns will doubt less have the effect of repressing rural speculation in common beef and check the supply. As an illustration of the present stat us of the market, we cite the sale of light weight cattle, which we made on Thursday for William Wilson, -Butte, Montana. Mr. Wilson's cattle ran in the willows all winter and were later fed a little hay averaging 1028 lbs, and sold at $4.35. These beeves, as the weights indicate, were only iti a fair condition and hardly up to the average Western steer in quality. -Texascattle, that tipped the beam at 1335 lbs, went at $5.65, and in this connection we would say that winter, hay-fed Montana or Dakota beeves weighing 1200 lbs and upward, would have found a ready out let on the week's market at $5.00 to $5.50. Handy weight sheep were steady, and spring lambs made atop of $7.50. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. There will be a mass convention of the Democrats of Hughes county, at the court house in the city of Pierre on Friday, July 15,1904, at 2 o'clock, p. in., for the purpose of selecting delegates to the state convention to be held at Aberdeen July 20, and also for the pur pose of nominating candidates for the various couuty oQices of Hughes county, and for the transaction of such other business as ma properly come before the convention. 6.
