city, but worse than all he tells that
the town is fiat and he couldn't find &

When a stranger calls around to buy
Your fat cattle or hogs. rendering YOU
part cash and the balance in a check on
some distant bank. don't let him take
away the stock until YOU have got the
check cashed. Ten chances to one the
check is bogus and you will get nipped
for just the amount it calls for. This
is a recently reported mode Of swind-
ling stock raisers and is being success
fully worked in some places.
Woman suffrage has received a set.
back in Michigan. The State Conven-
7ion of the Wolnen2s Christian Fem
perance Union, in session at Adrian
rejected a proposition to.foist the doe
trine OF woman suffrage upon the'as
sociation. There are many very ear
nest Christian women, whose hearts
are enlisted in the OF moral and
social reform, who dc not believe that
the privilege OF the ballot would add
to wouuan's power Of usefulness.
One great element Of Dakota wealth
is in Dakota grass. Millions CT tons
OF delicious hay are allowed TO waste
because there are not enough horses
and cattle and sheep to transform it
into muscle and bone. One could cut
and cure thousands of tons at a dollar
Or less per ton. Its richness cannot be
described. 1t has more nutriment than
timothy and clover With corn and bran
thrown in. The net profit Of stock
raising in Dakota including the losses
of two years ago is more than forty
per cent. Horses are hardy and strong.
Cattle sleek and fat and sheep do
Splendidiy. The only care necessary
with them is to keep them from the
wild oats which grow in some locali-
ties and shelter them from the winter
storms. Bring in your live stock and
our word for it, it will pay YOU Far

the guests, 81 have taken great pains
to educate my five daughters, that they
might act well their parts in life: and.
from their advantages and improve
ments, fondly hoped that they would
do honor to my family; and now i find
that all my pains, cares and expecta-
tions have turned out nothing but q

The Iankton Press has the follow
ing in regard to a find" in Sphinx coun-
ty: Ed Palmer brought us a relic OF the
prehistoric man from the celebrated
mound recently discovered near Red
tied, in Sphinx county. 1t consists of a
human skull and is one Of about two
hundred taken from the Spirk county
dirt heap. This mound appears &c have
been an old iortifcation, and the re-
mains We're found altogether as though
they had been thrown in a heap and
covered up. There was about threeteet
OF earth CVe ,he remains. The skull
IN II possession IS small, with large
Jaws and indicates decidedly inferior
intellectual development. The teeth
. are III an excellent state of preserva-
ton and all OF the front teeth are
round and fiat on the top. indicating a
race OF Negetarians. Mr.. Palmer saws
there was & large quantity of teeth
taken from the mound and there was
not Il flat tooth among them Each
skull in the pile was fractured on the
left side. as ii with a blow from some
heavy implement. The theory is that
the two hundred We're drawn up in a
line and killed, probably by their foes
WIG had overpowered them in their
fortress. It is the opinion If experts
