OF STTJIfcGIS, SOUTH DAKOTA, A few days since while visiting a Hills town the proprietor of the ADVERTISER had his attention called to a certain transaction which showed that the busi ness men of a city often lose interest in a new industry that seeks to secure a foot- hold in their midst, when they are not directly benefited by the establishment of such an enterprise. The cose at point was where the manufacturer was compelled to give a bond to the govern- ment before he could begin business. He found bondsmen, but nearly every one who was able to qualify for the nec- essary amount had a room to rent, and because he could not use more than one room, the industry was soon lost sight of, and these men still have "Store Booms for Rent," the gentleman feeling com- pelled to locate in a town where a more liberal spirit prevailed. The business men of a city cannot af- ford to carry out such a policy. If they do, the sheriff will be custodian of their earthly posessions long before their Ma- ker calls them to the unknown beyond. Whenever a stranger drops into town, give him a hearty welcome, and if he de- sires to enter into any reputable business take a special interest in him and assist in making him one of us—and in a H/TJ • I r» TI TV • J • | short time every vacant boilding will be Building " MatGrial • Of " tlVGry ~ D6SCnptjlOIl» j occupied by prosperous merchants, man- ufacturers, or professional men, all of whom will add wealth and strength to the town.

Don't the American con- sumer have to pay the duty? That's what G. Cleveland and his supporters tell us; but if this is the case, whence all this cry from British manufacturers over the McKinley bill ? Why should they care if the cost comes out of the pockets of the consumers? In his letter to the Tribune, Roger Vail, of this city, had considerable to say on this subject. We reproduce a passage having reference to the subject: 'After spending a week in Limerick, I took the train for Galway in company with an intelligent Scotchman and his family, who were making a tour of Ireland. Knowing that I was from America, he plied me with all kinds of questions, and then commenced to de- nounce the McKinley tariff bill, which is playing sad havoo with British manu- facturers. He said since the McKinley tariff came into force, forty-four tin plate works in Wales were closed, representing an output of 500,000 boxes per month, and twenty-two more will stop in a few weeks. As for tex- tile fabrics of all kinds, they were in- jured more or less by this atrocious American bill. It was a national dis- grace for the United States to pass such a measure to injure the products of the United Kingdom. I listened patiently for quite a while, and then took up the cudgels for the republican party. As a democrat it went against my grain to defend any republican measure, but was I to listen in silence when anything Ameri can was attacked? No sir. I began to denounoe free trade, and pointed to Ireland, which is almost deprived of manufacturers, and told him that one of the first things an Irish parliament should do as soon as home role was ob- tained, was to imitate America." In an interview published in the Pioneer Tuesday morning, Judge Moody comes out with an emphatic de- nial of being favorable to Van Cise as successor to the late Mr. Gamble. While his friends are glad to get an expression from him on this question, many believe the judge could have defined his politi- cal relations with Mr. Van Gise in a way to be understood, without making fresh the old wounds that time seemed to be fast healing. Every word uttered by any republican should be to strengthen the party, instead oit driving support from its ranks. A vote's a vote—no matter whether cast by a Moody repub- lican or a Van Cise follower. Unite the party and victory will peroh upon the republican banner of South Dakota. The republican state central commit- tee at its meeting Tuesday held at Huron, chose Aberdeen as the place and September 29, as the date upon which to hold the state convention. The ADVEB- TISEB would suggest therefore that the primaries be held in Meade county not later than the 19th, and the convention about the 24th. This county is entitled to six delegates. Lehman, the Custer county murderer, who is under sentence to be hung, will in all probability escape the death pen- alty. He is said to be insane, and life imprisonment is suggested instead of hanging. From the knowledge the ADVEBTISEB has of this case, Lehman is not entitled to executive clemency, but deserves hanging if ever a raftfe did for Charlie Howe has been placed in charge of the Buffalo Gap station. Mr. Howe was in the harness business in Sturgis in the winter of 1887-8, and he has many friends here who will be glad to learn of his reoei ^t promotion intha. railway servioe. The Elkhorn has"issued a new map, showing the entire Northwestern system, which includes the Darrow gauge lines in the Hills. The maps can be had of Mr. Buchanan, Omaha, or Mr. Harmon, the geueralagent for the company at Dead- wood. Henry Moreen has been appointed agent for the company at Central. The gentleman has for the past two years been in charge of the telegraphio depart- ment of the Bapid station, where he made many friends by his gentlemanly manners and courteous attention to the business men of the Gate City. Joseph Moreen died Tuesday, at Bapid with typhoid fever. He was tel- egraph operator at the station, and was young man of excellent traits of character and his friends deeply deplore his untimely death. How Money Will Grow. Some time ago the Ladies' Aid Society of Beading, Pa., agreed to invest a nickel in some kind of article and sell it at a profit and re-invest it in something else, and so on to speculate this capital for two weeks and see how much each one could make. One lady on the same evening of the meeting bought a cabbage with her nickel. She carried it home and sold half of it to her neighbor for a nickel. She invested that in vinegar and pickled the remaining half and sold the pickle for 25 cents. She then bought 25 cents worth of cloth and a spool of thread and made it up into three aprons, which she sold for 25 cents each, and took the 7S cents and bought molasses and gave a candy pulling to the children, making them pay 10 cents a plate for the candy, so she made $2.10 on the nickel in two weeks time.

Remarkable Contrast in the Effect of Two Poisons on the Complexion. The slow absorption of many poisons changes in some more or less modified' form the complexion, but arsenic and ammonia show their effect about as quick- ly as any. The popular belief that arse- nic clears the complexion has led many silly women to kill themselves with it in small continued doses It produces a waxy, ivory-like appear- anoe of the skin during a certain stage of the poisoning, but its terrible after effects have become too well known to make it of common use as a cosmetic. The effects of ammonia upon the com plexion are directly the opposite to that of arsenic. The first symptom of ammo- nia poisoning which appears among those who work in ammonia factories is a discoloration of the skin of the nose and forehead. This gradually extends over the face until the complexion has stained, blotched and unsightly appear- ance. With people who take ammonia into their systems in smallerdoses, as with their water or food, thele striking symptoms do not appear so soon. The only effect of the poison that is visible for at ime is a general unwholesome- ness and sallowness of the complexion. Many people are slowly absorbing am- monia poison without knowing it. The use of ammonia in the manufactures has greatly increased of late, and it is un- questionably used as an adulterant in certain food preparations. Official anal- ysis have plainly shown its use even in such cheap articles of every day con- sumption as baking powders. The con- tinued absorption of ammonia in even minute quantities as an adulterant in food is injurious not merely from its ef- fect upon the complexion, but because it destroys the coating of the stomach and causes dyspepsia and kindred evils.

The Custer people are making great ammonia, the water is dangerous.
Remarkable Contrast in the Effect of Two Poisons on the Complexion.
The slow absorption of many poisons changes in some more or less modified' form the complexion, but arsenic and ammonia show their effect about as quickly as any. The popular belief that arsenic clears the complexion has led many silly women to kill themselves with it in small continued doses
It produces a waxy, ivory-like appear-anoe of the skin during a certain stage of the poisoning, but its terrible after effects have become too well known to make it of common use as a cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the com plexion are directly the opposite to that of arsenic. The first symptom of ammonia poisoning which appears among those who work in ammonia factories is a discoloration of the skin of the nose and forehead. This gradually extends over the face until the complexion has stained, blotched and unsightly appearance. With people who take ammonia into their systems in smallerdoses, as with their water or food, thele striking symptoms do not appear so soon. The only effect of the poison that is visible for at ime is a general unwholesome-ness and sallowness of the complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing ammonia poison without knowing it. The use of ammonia in the manufactures has greatly increased of late, and it is unquestionably used as an adulterant in certain food preparations. Official analysis have plainly shown its use even in such cheap articles of every day consumption as baking powders. The continued absorption of ammonia in even minute quantities as an adulterant in food is injurious not merely from its effect upon the complexion, but because it destroys the coating of the stomach and causes dyspepsia and kindred evils.
