A WESTERN POINT OF VIEW.
A Gentleman Thoroughly Competent

to speak, Gives His opinion on Mat
ters of Universal Importance.
During the past year over 3,OOO,OOO
acres have beer entered in southern
Dakota and 16O postoffices established;
the daily newspapers have increased
from forty-three to sixty-three, and
weeklies from 160 to 243; emigration is
pouring in at a rapid rate; a nation is
being born i'll a day; and a short time
only can elapse before two or three
large states will grow out of this land
of the Dakotas.
The Rev. Stewart Sheldon, of Yank-
ton, superintendent of home missions
for southern Dakota, a gentleman who
has lived in the territory for the past
sixteen years, has travelled over it
many times and is fully competent to
give a trustworthy opinion, is very en-
thusiastic over Dakota's prospects.
ssLook at the area of the state" he ex-
claims, ''160. 900 square miles: Enough
to make owe three New Englands, to
make twenty-eight Connecticuts; to
hold all the inhabitants of the world
with only sixteen and a fraction to the
acre; to put a belt around the globe six
miles wide. In a single year 1000
miles OF railroad are built, and on a
single farm 100000 bushels of wheat
were raised; its possibilities are almost
boundless."
"How about the planting of
churchesP"
sit keeps pace with the needs of the
people. In my own denomination about
fifty organizations have been effected
during the past year, and other religious
bodies have probably done equally
we'll"
"May 1 ask what originally brought
you to this new country with its neces-
sary h~ardshipsP"
First, the pursuit of health; secondly,
the great and glowing field of religious
influence. 1 am on the road most of
the time. AS you know, it is not an
easy task, and were it not for the cir
cumstance which 1 believe saved my
life, l should even now be compelled to
forego the pleasure 1 find in being instru-
mental in an humble way of doing some
little good"
''Would you be willing to publicly
state your experienced"
Eyes, sir! If you care to publish the
matter in your paper, for the good of
the public, 1 will give you a written
statement" And suiting the action to
the word, the superintendent immedi-
ately wrote out the following:
Rev. D. B. Coz, Hon. SECRETARY.
Rev. M. M. BARRows, S-rcREr.R1Es
Rev. j. B. CLARK,
REV. A. Fl. CLAPP, TREASURER.

REV. STEWART SHELDON.
SUPERINTENDENT FOR DAKOTA.
YANKTON, DAKOTA, September 26, 1884.
To whom 1t may concern:
This is to certify that l have used
Warmers SAFE Cure and SAFE Pills
more or less for a year past and 1 find
them to be most excellent remedies.
They seem to do the work when other
medicines fail. 1 have reason to be-
lieve that they have saved my life, and
it gives me pleasure to commend them
to. others. For liver complaint, general
debility and constipation, they have
been a specific in my own case, as they
have been to others to whom 1 have
recommended them. 1t gives me pleas
ure to add my testimony to the many
already given, in the hope that others
afflicted as 1 have been, may experience
like benefit.
Rev. STEWART SHELDON.
