Dakota is Just now the most extensive

The appointment of Ziebach to be re-
ceiver at Yankton, instead of governor,
as his friends hoped, seems to indi
cate that South Dakota will he admitted
as state. and will have a governor of
her own election, and in that case it
would hardly be fair 70 appoint South
Dakota muu as governor of the remain
ing territory.-Fargo San.

Is the test of fortitude among the Indian
tribes. But we defy any Cherokee,
Sioux OF Comanche to endure the twin
ges of rheumatism without winclng.
These, indeed, are slight at first, but
grow In intensity until they become I'M
bearable, No malady is more obstinate
in its maturity than that which gives
rise to them. The more need, then OF at
lacking 1t at the outset. Foremost
among remedies for 1t is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, safer and infinitely
more effective than oolchicum, veratrum
and nux vomica, all remedies which
might prove destructive of life In a
slightly excessive dose. Mineral depu-
rents, also. when not positively misohie-
vous, are far inferior In remedial power
to this salutary botanic medicine. 1t
entirely expels from the blood the aorid
impurities which originate the disease,
and enrich as well as cleanse it. Con-
stlpation, liver complaint, dyspepsia and
other ailments also give way toit.

The Great Eastern.

The exact size of Noah's ark has not
been determined definitely, but, accord
ing to Sir Isaac Newton's calculation,
based on his estimate of the length of a
cubit in feet and inches, the historical
barge must have been 5l5.G2 feet long,
1914 wide and 5l5G deep. The measured
tonnage of the ark was 1922. The
Great Eastern was $50 feet long, SO feet
deep, and she measured 2S,0O3 tons.
Although the Great Eastern was not so
well proportioned as the ark, she prob
ably had double the carrying capacity.
If her coal and machinery were left out
of her, because she was made of iron and
the ark was wooden ship.

The Experience OF KIND Mr.. Adams.

MIR. Archibald Adams, n teamster, who
resides out on the Brownsville road, had
an interesting and exhilarating exper-
fence yesterday morning. A week ago
MIR. Adams bought pair Of plain, Or
binary, everyday mules at the horse
market. Now Mr., Adams is careful
man and has kind heart for animals.
SO when he noticed In the farmers col
umn of newspaper day or SO ago that
IL was an excellent thing to wash the
hoofs of horses occasionally in hot water,
he came to the conclusion that he would
try Its beneficial effects on those mules.
lie got pail of hot water yesterday
morning and hied himself away to the
stable. The males bllnked at him with
mild, languld air, flirted their little
tails about pleasantly, and awaited their
masters Will. Mr.. Adams set the pail
of water down ut the rear feet of one OF
the mules. The mule kept on looking
pleasant. Then Mr.. Adams lifted up
one of the hOofs and carefully put 1t in
the bucket. =

For thel asst three months grea. many
people have been housed up, because they
have not felt abe to Withstand the stormy
wintry weather that has prevailed. But
unfortunately the confinement and close
air of modern houses during the winter
season, is very enerva,ing, and the system
needs help to enable all the organs 10 do
their prop.r work. If these organs have
been inactive the consequences are show
ing themselves in the bilious condition OF
the system, or in constipation of the bowels,
or in disorders of the kidneys, with all the
aches and p.ius that accompany these
complaints If you are in this condition
