OF the many mysteries which battle the
governing the transmission OF mental and
and physical characteristics from one gen
GRAFTON to another In no instance Is this
strange law more emphatically illustrated
than in the generic perpetuatiOn of dis
eases. Of all the hereditary blood diseases
ne is more common than Scrofula. This
widely prevalent disease has hitherto been
considered incurable. but since the intro
duction of 5. s. s.. natures own antido.e
for diseased blood, these scrOfulous aiiic-
tons have lost their worst featu esther
alleged incurability. The tact is estab.
lished that the severest form of Scrofuls
can be cured by this remarkable remedy,
The fact is verified by hundreds of incon-
testible proofs. The following testimony
is striking exhibition of this fact, 1t
cannot fail to impress the minds of parents
troubled with this dangerous disease. Mr..
Collier is highly respected, popular and
we'll known citizen Of DoOly county. He
particularly requests the publication of his
letter 80 that other families, similarly af-
flicted, may learn through his experience
how they can procure remedy which
will infallibly and permanently cure and
eradicate hereditary Scrofula.

Correcting a SANDER.

Shortly after the big blizzard Cedar
Falls. Iowa, man vino was blockaded
in Mitchell, went home and unloaded
a big yarn to the waterloo Tribune
about 1000 people perishing and the
wolves deyouring their frozen remains 8.
A late number of the Tribune con-
tains the following reluctant correc-
tion OF the slanders. although it de-
clined to print in full Mr. Whittlesey's
refutation of the same:
We received letter from Mitchell.
Dakota, contradicting the statement
made in our Cedar Fails correspondence
last week in regard to the number of
deaths by the great blizzard. Our cor
respondent, Elisha Whittlcsey jr. ESQ,
gives figures to show that the number
of deaths in the storm did not exceed
100, and reasons for even comparative
ly so small death loss as this. The
day was fine and people were out with
out their usual wraps; children at
school foolishly attempted to go home
and the suddeness of the change from
pleasant to severe cold He says it was
not so very cold. CONCERNING the wolf
part OF the story he says they had heard
nothing of it there. Dakota il; entitled
to fair treatment and we give the deni-
al in that interest, and trust that the
death casualties will prove even fewer
than Mr. Whittlesey's one hundred. -
Mr.. Whlttlesey is a leading lawyer of
Mitchell, and ought to know. Many of
our readers will have kindly remem-
brance OF his wife who was once a res.
ident here, then Miss Allie Bowes

The Result of Debt.

A Japanese proverb says that friend at
hand is better than all your relations at a
distance, SO q little money in your pocket
is better than all the credit in the world.
1t is astonishing sometimes how much a
little money will buy, and equally sur
prising how quickly bill reaches a hun
dred, and yet we may have little to show
for it. One purchasing on credit buys
rashly and generously; he does not think
Of pay day, which seems far off, certain
like death, but as remote and intangible.
1t Is SO easy to buy things in this way,
one hardly stops to count the cost; by
this method it almost seems as If all the
things we coyet grew on trees, and all we
had to do was to put out her hands; we
seem to be fed and clothed as if by a
miracle, and it is surely miracle if we
pay the bill due in due season. To con-
tract Il bill is to contract an obligation, to
give another the advantages; we believe
that half the forgeries and emb ezzlements
IN the country are the direct result Of
debt. Half the paralysis and heart
disease which ends mems lives in their
heyday may be traced to the worry con-
sequcnt upon debt; worry kills more peo-
pie than work, or love, or any disease. It
writes wrinkles in the face, it discolors
the skin, makes the hair fall out and en-
courages dyspepsia, Bazar.

Dakota Better Than California.

Chamberlain Register: Mayor Meyer
met his wife in Mitchell on her way
home from southern California, where
she spent the winter, and returned
home with her to Chamberlain Satur-
day. Mrs. Meyer having relatives in
southern California and having heard
hattering reports of the heavenly eli
mate,and about trees that bear "twelve
manner of fruit" had thought as had
Mr. Meyer that if it was found to be
a more desirable location than this,
they would move out there in the
pring. But the lady comes back as
every one else does, with no desire to
leave Chamberlain. While we have
had some snug,but cold dry wealth
er and one bad storm, the sun has risen
and set in clear sky nearly all winter.
TO sum up Lrs. Meyers report in
brief we give the following: "During
the fall dust shoetop deep-sand storms

bearable than any Dakota blizzard,

Drug Stores of Dresden.

The drug stores have curious way
here of shutting up just about the time
you want them. AS soon as it begins to
grow dark, down go the iron shutters,
and if you need anything you go toa little
bell handle outside one of the iron shut
tiers and ring it. Then you hear some one
at a crank inside, the massive frame rolls
up and q head looks out the window.
Finally, the man or boy inside opens part
of the window, and you talk through a
pane Of glass and make known your
wants. Instead of being angry at being
aroused, the man begs your pardon for
keeping you outside, and says: ~ thank
you for your order"
If you have not the exact change, and
tie man inside is in the same predica-
ment, he will beg you most politely and
thank you to allow him to change it.
Having done so, he will thank you for
calling evidently taking the visit as q
social one), bow, close his little peep hole,
bow again, and then smile swcetly as he
grinds down his iron shutter and his smil-
ing face is lost to view.-Dresden Cor.

The brotherhood of Man.

The educated man or woman of tho
gcntler class, however kindly disposed, too
often speaks to servants, to the poor, or
the criminal, as from higher pane than
they occupy, with an affable patronage
which the nearer resents. He never for
gets that the rich ard poor IRE of one
blood, or doubt that circumstances have
made all the difference between them.
That mysterious race, the Romany have
certain signs and words by which they

laws obeyed and respected. l have no

and shall earnestly strive so to do-to
enforce every law upon thestatute book
without fear or favor, no matter
whether he is merchant prince or day
laborer-the richest saloon keeper in
Mitchell or the poorest vagabond
drunkard that ever trod her streets.
Some further discussion of the situ-
alton followed, and recess was taken
for ten minutes. During this recess
the officers were both given a chance
to tender their designations, but de-
clined, saying they were guilty of no
wrong-doing, but had done the best
they knew how, and endeavored to
carry out the orders of the mayor.
Aid. Welch then moved that the
office Of marshal be declared vacant,
which was seconded by Aid. Smith and
unanimously carried. A painful
silence ensued which no one seemed to
want to break, but Aid. Smith made a
similar motion with reference to the
night-watch, which was seconded by
Aid. Gilbert and also carried unani-
mously.
A side issue was some remarks ad-
dressed by the mayor to Messers. Ors-
we'll and Wills, drawn out by a remark
of the former. Mr.. Mentzer reviewed
the administration of the past year
which had been marked by liberality
to the saloon men, referred to the fact
that he had been in favor of license,
but that the verdict of the people had
been the other way; and said that after
he had given the saloon men fair warn
ing at the beginning of the year he ex-
pected better treatment from them;
but they had gone on in open violation
of the ordinances. had made the city
government byword and a laughing
stock; and now he proposed to see if
the laws could not be enforced. Coun-
Gil adjourned without further action.
and will take up the question of ap-
pointing a new police force at a
future meeting.
