Hon. j. G. Parks Testimony.

l cheerfully state that in my
opinion Swift's Specific is a most
excellent tonic. In the month of
September, 1883, my health failed
by reason of overwork while at
tending the State legislature. I
was at length induced to try
Swifts Specific and was greatly
benefited. When 1 began using
it [ could scarcely take a step, but
after l had finished the seventh
bottle [ realized that Swift's Spe-
cifc had contributed in a large de-
gree to my gradual restoration to
health and strength. [ have also
used S. S. S. in my family with
satisfactory results, giving it to
one of my children this spring.
The little ones appetite, strength
and general health were perfected
from the use of S. S. S.

A Mad Dog Gil the Rampage.

The Starksville neighborhood
IN Lee county was the scene of a
genuine mad dog sensation yester-
day.
No one in the neighborhood rec
ognized the dog, and it is not
known where he came from nor to
whom he belonged. He was first
seen on Hancock's Cheehaw place,
where he bit two dogs. He then
went on to the Sharpless place,
where he bit two more dogs and
then ran into a negro house and
seized little girl. The childs
father went to her rescue, when
the dog seized him by the foot.
The old man grappled with him,
however, and, Selling him by the
throat, held him until some one
brought him an axe, with which
the rabbid canine was beheaded. =.
We did not learn whether the
four dogs that were bitten were
killed by their owners or not. The
symptoms Of the little girl and
her father will be watched with
interest, as it is expected that
they will be seized with hydro
phobia.-Albany News 10 inst.

The burning of DR.. Mcdonald s

to a sense of the danger in which
they are placed in case of fire. Re.

feel secure. Some action should be
taken in this matter at once.
The South Heart people claim to
have over twenty children of school
age and think they should have the
bentit of a school. If there is that
number of children in this county at
South Heart, their claims are just
and school should be given them.
BY presenting the matter to the
county superintendent, no doubt, he
will organize a school district at that
place.

THE FIRE FIEND.
1t Destroys DR.. J. b. McDonald's Drug
Store. Loss $500.

On Thursday morning about two
o'clock the shrill whistle of the yard
engine and cry of fire aroused our
citizens. The mercury at the time
indicated about twenty degrees be-
low zero and Miss Alice Sprague, one
Of the young ladies at the confection.
cry store WAS up attending to the fire
in the stove when she discovered
llames issuing from the roof of the
drug store nearly opposite, OH Sims
street. She hurried to the Doctors
residence and aroused him, but by
this time the flames had gained such
headway that it was impossible to
save the building. The crowd that
soon gathered turned their attention
to saving what goods they could and
succeeded in getting out the safe,
stove, show cases, counters and few
of the goods in the front end of the
building, however a large portion of
the goods aud very valuable library,
which the doctor had accumulated
during his lifetime, were destroyed.
The library is more than a mere pc
cuniary loss as it contained rare
books and works priced very highly
by their owner. Fortunately there
was but little wind blowing at the
time OF other property would have
been destroyed. The loss is esti.
mated at $3,5O0 The building and
stock were insured for $4,000 in the
Commercial Union company. The
doctor has many friends who sympa-
thise with him in his loss. With
characteristic energy, as soon as the
losses are adjusted, he will open up
in business again. The fire is sup
posed to have originated in a defec-
tive flue. DIR. Mcdonald is one of
our pioneer citizens. a firm believer
in the future of Dickinson and will
not be daunted by the loss.

the hours very pleasantly.
Some Of the farmers of this com

new kinds of grass this season, among
which may be named Lucerne, which
is thought to be peculiarly adapted
to this soil and climate.

BIsMARCK TRIRrNE.
Certain to Succeed.

There is one class of people who
are sure to be the gamers by emigrat-
ing from the old states to the fertile
prairies of the Northwest-we mean
practical farmers, owning small
farms on which they can make only
a rather straitened livelihood by hard
and constant work. Let us take the
case of man who owns forty, fifty
or sixty acres in Indiana, Michigan
or Ohio. All who know anything
about farming in those states, will
agree that if he supports family.
pays his taxes and keeps out of debt,
he is doing as we'll as can reasonably
be expected. He would be thought
exceptionally fortunate if he were
able to get a little money ahead to
loan to his neighbors at interest.
The chances are that he is borrow.
Ell instead of a lender.
The farm he tills would probably
sell tor $4,000 to $4,000 if there were
good improvements OH it. Suppose
he should sell out and move West.
We will not count the stock and i'm.
plements, because the money he
would get for them would be needed
to replace them when he started in
his new home. The transportation
of his family and all his household
movables, and such tools and imple-
ments as he would want to keep,
would not make very big hole in his
capital. Say that he got upon the
ground in one Of the new counties of
Dakota with $4,000; how much better
off would he be than he was in his
old home! Ho invests $1,000 in a
house and barn, and begins work on
4 homestead claim. He has $4,000
left. Practically he is more than
that much better off than before. He
has his homestead, his stock and
farm utensils, and the $4,000 for cash
capital. Besides he has one hundred
and sixty acres of land instead of
fifty or sixty, and it will produce 2
good deal more to the acre, because
it is rich, virgin soil instead of worn
land needing constant manuring.
Probably our emigrant will not be
satisfied with his one-hundred-and-
sixty.acre homestead, especially if he
has boys growing up. He will take
tree claim, and will perhaps buy a
half section from the railroad COM
pany OIL ten years time, so he will
have a mile square of productive land.
lie will till only small part of this
at first, but every year he will in
crease his acreage under plow. At
the end of five years he will prove up
on his homestead claim; at the end
of seven he will get his title to the
tree claim, and at the end of ten he
will have made all his payments on
the railroad land, without much feel
ing them. All this time he has been
making a little money from year to
year. Now lie has farm for him.
self and one for each Of his children,
and is comfortably fixed for his old
age. If he had stayed back there in
Ohio, or Indiana, or Michigan, he
would have grown old with no accu-
mutation of money, without increas.
ing the size of his farm, and without
having anything to give his boys
when they came of age, to induce
them to follow their fathers occupa-
tion and remain near him. They
would have wandered out into the
world to make their own way. Is it
not plain that emigration would be a
good thing for all Of this class!
