A man named James Dean, hailing from

AYERS CATmART1c PILLS are the best of
all purgatives for family use. They are
the product OF long, laborious, and sue
cessful chemical investigation, and their
extensive use, by Physicians in their prac-
tice, and by all civilized nations, proves
them the best and most etfectual purgative
Pill that medical science can devise.
Being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use. In intrinsic value and
curative powers no other Pills can be
compared with them and every person,
knowing their virtues, will employ them,
when needed. They keep the system in
perfect order, and maintain in healthy
action the whole machinery oflife. Mild,
searching and eftectual, they are specially
adapted to the needs.of the digestive ap-
paratus, arrangements of which they
prevent and cure, if timely taken. They
are the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened cons titutions,
where mild, but etfectual, cathartlc is
required.

The imported Young nun who writes
locals for the Sioux City Journal has go,
of another joke. lie says
The suggestion to our merchants to make
some extra efforts to secure Q better trade
with the Black Hills country appears to
have alarmed the St. Paul people, who say
it is farther to Deadwood via Pierre than
via Bismarck. The papers probably mean
that it is farther from St. Paul, which il
true Of course. But it is not farther from
Sioux City all the same," and if the pro-
ject is properly pushed Sioux City can
claim the best part Of the Black Hills trade,
and almost entirely leave St. Paul out in
the cold. And why shouldn't she!
For fear the reader may overlook it, We

feel positive that the Press has occasionally
had something to say about the Pierre rou!,
during the past three years. Our recollec

time our paper was almost wholly devoted
to the subject. Then, too, We remember
how persistently the Sioux City Journa
fought against the Pierre road and laboret
to establish its sand hill route. But for til,
opposition from that quarter Pierre natter
would be in vastly better shape to-day. No
