Whfn you start for Mexico, everyone asks, "are you going to see a bull light?" When you get across that little shallow, muddy stream called the Ilio Grande, and have gotten a piety Rood stmt Into this strange republic, they take it as a matter of course Unit you have been for you have h.id the opportunity, and ask you how you liked the bull fight.

This spurt Is carried on in nearly nil of the provincial towns of Mexico, but the real fierce article Foley's Stops the Cough and heals the lungs and prevents Pneumonia and Consumption Consumption Threatened C. Unger, 2 1 1 Maple Champaign, 111., writes: "I was troubled with a hacking cough for a year and I thought I had consumption. I tried a great many remedies and I was under the care of physicians for several months. I used one bottle of FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR.

It cured me, and I have not been troubled since." Cured Hemorrhages of the Lungs A. M. Ake, Wood, writes: "Several years since my lungs were so badly affected that I had many hemorrhages. I took treatment with several phvsicians without any benefit. I then started to take FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR, and my lungs are now as sound as a bullet.

Next comes the matadore.

With all the pomp and dignity of the crack performer in, a circus, he takes off his hat and receives a very sharp pointed, keen blnded sword about three feet long, from an attendant. From another he receives a red mantle sewed on a stick He steps out Into the ring while the bull Is still being worried Into further blindness vnu cAimusiion Dy tne mantles of the others, and attracts the animals at-tention to him with the red. After more or less sparring he thusts the sword down between the beast' shoulders down through the lung cavity for the full length if possible, but that was not done the first time I saw It. It was a poor job and 11 took the poor animal another 15 minutes to die, for he was so fierce that none would go near for another mrusi. ine next and last saw killed, was a better Job for the bull was on his knees In less than a minute after the thrust.

the bull dies, the people go wild again, throw hats, money and cigars Into the ring for the matador, and to the 'fast mu-slo of the band, In come the mules to drag out the bull, along with the attendants to clean up the evidences of the carnage. A wait of five minutes and the performance Is repeated and so on till six bulls go over the pike. This Inhuman sport was stopped by the government for a short time but I 'have understood that the people of all classes made such a clamor that It was restored. However, I think there must be some way for these people to have this sin forgiven or they would not be so confident that It was the proper thing to do. Thos.

Burns Has Pneumonia. Some weeks ago Thos. Burns, one of the most popular conductors on the Northwestern line, met with an accident while the train was at Washington station, which almost resulted seriously to him, and which laid him up for some time. He had resumed his run between here and Deadwood but a week or so when he has been again compelled to lay off, this time with an attack of pneumonia. He took his regular run on Sunday morning, and as It was his time to change from the day to the night run, worked all of Sunday until 1 o'clock Monday morning, when he went to his home.

When he left the train he was not feeling well, and in the morning a doctor was called in who after examining him declared that Mr. Burns had been attacked with a severe case of pneumonia. The attack was very sudden, for during Sunday he appeared to be In the best of health to all who traveled on his train and was In high spirits. All of his friends will hope that his case will prove to be one which will easily succumb to treatment, and that he will be able to resume his run In a few days. DOTSOV ARRESTED AGAIN.

Sheriff Trathen drove down to Whitewood yesterday and brought back young Logan Dotson, who Is again charged with threatening Mrs. A- H. Cogley, a Crook City woman. Last week Dotson was acquitted of writing the woman letters in which the writer declared that he would dynamlite her house, and made numerous threats. Logan Dotjon, charged with threatening Mrs.

A. H. Cogwell of Crook City, waived examination before Magistrate McDonough yesterday and was held for the September term of the circuit court in the sum of 1500, which he could not furnish and remained in jail. where there Is the most cruel ty, the largest amount, of gore and a (fraud display of ,0 clothes to be seen In the City of xlcn. This celebration Is always carried on Sundays or fenst days, and there are as many days there ns there nre Sundays, so one can see them ns of ten as he pleases.

One Sunday about a month aifo I took with me about $3.00 of the poor coin of that realm for an ad. mission to a medium grade of a seat. The nseo de Reforma, the great fashionable drive of the city, was crowded with miles of fine carriages and mist of them headed toward tlhe bull ring. Street cars-going that way were also crowded and when I grot there I saw an assemblage of from fifteen, to twenty thousand people anxiously watting until the trumpet would blow for the parade preceding this Ingenious display of torture for the diversion of a throng of case hardened consciences. The trumpet blows, and then to the lively air played by the band the grand entrance to the mis uemns.

nrst come the mata-dores, the ones who actually kill the bull; following them the picadors on their old skates of horses: then the banderlllas. those who stick the barbed harpoons into the bull; then those who use the mantles, (I forget what they call them); then six mules with their drivers, who drag out the dead animals; and then even the common "waddles" with wheelbarrows, to clean up the entrails and polls of the carnage. They are all dressed with the gorgeousness of pea cocks, and their carriage Indicates that they have about as good an opinion of themselves as does this proud bird, also a stock of Ignorance trat would put him to the bad. After the big strut Is over the Ting master goes up to the Presldente and bowing, asks permission to kill the bulls. This Is given by the latter throwing Hm the keys to the gates.

Then the pai pants take their places in the ling and the rest go out. Suddenly a Is opened and In rushes a bull and at his very first leap Into the rlr.g he gets one of those cruel barbed harpoons thrust Into his shoulder try a man stationed on the fence by the opening. As he runs about the ring, snorting and pawing and looking for trouble, he finds It very suddenly. The six lithe, little fellows Trtth the magenta colored mantles trgm to rush at him and worry him In that way. This was one place In the proceeding where It looked to me that there was much skill displayed, for to dodge the vicious rushes of the enraged animal when he was still fresh, took wonderful quick- new TO GET MEN'S PANTS Free To every male person filling out the coupon below, we will by return mall furnish you with information How to obtain a pair of men's pants valued at IS.50 Free.

The transcript evidence taken at the trial is condensed by two-thirds. The transcript comprises about 1,300 pages. No exceptions to the testimony submitted at the trial are recited in ithe bll. The chief contention is that Judge Munger erred in his instructions to the jury. Stress is laid upon the fact that he refused to instruct regarding the statute of limitations.

The case cannot be heard in the ciicuit court of appeals until December, and not until the fall will the briefs be submitted. Omaha World-Herald. CHINAMEN WOULD DUEL WITH KNIVES. Unless Policeman Miller armed with a patent sheath guaranteed to stub the point of the sharpest blade, had not interfered, Chinatown might have furnished Coroner Allen with a job last evening. Two of the almond eyed residents of that quarter had a little argument over a game-of fan tan, it is said, with the result that each drewa knife that closely-resembled In size a sword, and flourished the weapons around the iw- as if they wanted to carve everyona in sight.

B. CLARK. HURON. S. April 3 A few years ago when "Battling" Nelson, now the champion lightweight pugi list of the world, walked into Huron, penniless and a stranger, he sought i employment at any sort of work that would provide for him an- honest living.

He came from Hegwich, 111., expecting to find employment in the Chicago Northwestern railway shops here, but was disappointed, iand sought employment elsewhere finally striking a "Job" as helper In a meat market, at $10 per month; this salary was not sufficient to pay his board and he therefore found a home with J. J. Robins and family, doing work about the house and barn in payment for his board. A few months later he got other employment, and finally left this city, the Robins, family, however, being much interested In him, kept track of his wanderings, and Nelson aver appeared to appreciate the klndsess shown hlm Mra' Robins. whom he delighted to call his foster moth er.

Immediately after his recent bout with McGovern in Philadelphia. Nelson sent Mrs. Robins a telegram advising her of his victory, although she had endeavored Ik Induce him to forsake "the ring," and engage In other burin eus pusuita. A day or hvu since she received a letter from Nelson in which he says: "I have many times thought of you and my friends in Huron, for I have many good friends there. Things have changed since I was In your home.

Then I worked for $10 per month; now I get, or got, on March 14, $9,971.50, for just eighteen minutes' work. That's going some, isn't it? For my tight with Britt on Sept. 9 last, when I knocked him out in eighteen rounds, and winning the championship of the world, I got for one hour and twelve minutes. Since early in September I have been on the "show" stage receiving from $1,000 to $1,400 per week in all about $20,000. I go to Los Angeles to fight Herrera fcr a $20,000 purse; I receive a bonus of $4,000, and the winner will receive $9,600, and the loser receives $6,400.

As I have whipped him once, I think I can do so again easily." After referring to members of his family, particularly to his brother Churles, whom he is educating at Hitchcock Military academy, San ltal'uel. and enquiring about Rev. C. B. Clark, now presiding elder of the Black Hills district, "Battling" Nelson says when he takes a vacation he will make Huron a visit and renew old friendships.

It is possi ble that following his bout with Her rera, May 19, at Los Angeles, he will abandon the prize ring, having accu mulated quite a fortune, which he seems to have judiciously invested, JEAN COWGILL IS MARRIED. Mrs. Jean Cowgiil-Cummerford was in the city yesterday, having but recently returned from Chicago, where she has been a successful newspaper and magazine writer. Be fore leaving Chicago she was married to Frank Cummerford, the brilliant young attorney of Chicago who gained national notoriety by being expelled from the Illinois legislature a year ago last winter for exposing bribery of a number of the members of the legislature. A special election was called by the governor for the district represented by Mr.

Cummerford and he was re-elected and returned to the legislature near the close of the session. The mar- riage of Mr. Cummerford and Miss Cowgill was solemnized by a Meth- BLACK 1III.I.S WILL STILL HAVE COAL Old. dons of those 11 posted on the local situation indicate that tht coal strike Just stai-ted in the east will not ma erially affect the Blact Hills industrially or otherwise. A the same time it may lead to beneflcia results.

At present the Black Hills consume about sixty carloads, or 7,200 tons, coal per month, said a coal man yes terday. This coal all conies from the Wyoming coal fields, the Sheridan, Carney, Big Muddy am other mines in that state, supplying most of the demand here. The coi companies have contracts with firm and agents here to supply sn mucr coal until a certain period and thosi contracts are not void. The bes Judges declare that the present striki the east will be brief as too mucl is at stake and the influence and pressure the warring parties from all sections will not permit an; extended struggle. Neither Is likely that the strike will spread ti the far western mines In Colorad and Wyoming.

Colorado will suppl most of the eastern coal and the Wy cmlng coal will be used for westerr consumption, Is the opinion held here One potent reason why the Wyoming fields will still supply the Black Hills is the fact that most of these mines have only been working halt time owing to the mild winter. Thej will now double their output. Then again the local gold mines and mill are just preparing for the summei season now and do not re mire an' thing like the same amount of coa as In winter. The mills do not eve; have to be hfated. Tn the words G.

O. Dennis, the Northwestern agent "the Blnck Hills always have heer taken care of any they always Should the strike loi the eat las any length of time, a rise In th price of coal for public consumptlor here could not be avoidrd, but foi the present It is probahle. say the coal men, that there will he little no rise. Should the emergence arise, ther-are yet the vast undeve loped fl Ids In northeast Wyoming Sundance, toward which the Burl!" ton I ta king of running a spur. A long strike would probably mean th culmination of this plan and the tap ping of great beds of the black dia monds, thus opening up to the Hill a new supply.
