AN ASTONISHING FACT.

A large proportion Of the American peo-
pie are to-day dying from the effects of Dys-
pepsia or disordered liver. The result Of
these diseases upon the masses Of Intelligent
and valuable people is most alarming, max
ing life actually a burden instead Of pleas
ant existence of enjoyment and usefulness
as it ought to be. There is no good reason
for this, if you will only throw aside pre-
JUDGE and skepticism, take the advice of
Druggists and yolr friends, and try one bot
tie Of Green's August Flower. Yourspeedy
relief is certain. Millions of bottles Of this
medicine have been given away to try its
virtues, with satisfactory results in every
case. You can buy a sample bottle for IL
cents to try. Three doses will relieve the
worst case. Positively sold by all Drug
gi,ts on the Western Continent. Sold by
Mills & Purdy.

A CHICAGO MANS OPINION.

Editors Press & Dakotoian:
DEAR S1Rs In your issue Of March the
9th, 1 notice q suggestion in respect to some
sort of an organization of business men to
promote their local interests. Being myself
a member Of the Chicago Board Of Trade l
have had many opportunities in making
myself familiar with divers commercial
matters; and being also much interested in
everything which pertains to Dakota terri
tory, and the welfare of her people, l have
carefully looked over the Yankton sugges-
tione, and take the liberty to offer a few re-
marks. There can be no doubt but that
such an organization properly conducted
would be an immense advantage to a new
community; but to be a success, and of any
practical value, it must be taken hold Of
by representatives of the best intere ,ts of
the place. If it should start off under the
impression that parties we're to use it for the
promotion Of special personal ends it had
best not be attempted at all. OF course in
such a place as Yankton only occasional
regular meetings should be provided for. say
once a month or once in two months, with
authority lodged with the president 10 call
special meetings whenever the public inter-
ests demand it; but such meetings should
be called only on the request Of the execu-
tive committee. This %fortifes the president
against the opportunities Of persons seeking
the endorsement Of the body for visionary
or selfish schemes. An organization like
the one suggested in Yankton ought to have
standing committees On matters Of general
public concern, such for instance as immi-
grafton, taxation, railroad facilities, general
territorial information. 1t should not at
tempt to become a trading organization like
the Chicago Board, as that would weaken
its influence, none caring much for it but
those engaged in the particular line of trad
ing carried on.
There can be no doubt but that the united
expression Of the leading men Of a own is
far more potent than the individual express
sion of the same ndividuals, but the best
results come from the comforting together Of
citizens, this brings compromise Of conflict
ing views and a unity of action, that with
out such conference would be divided to a
degree that frequently ends in the accom-
plishment Of nothing.
