The Press and Dakotaian feels it q
duty to suggest to the people of Yankton
that they are now confronting crisis in
their affairs which will not long wait
upon dIlstory movements. It Is crisis
which muat be seized or permitted TO
pass within a shorter period of time than
they have been accustomed to decide
momentous questions. The season is
advancing and every autumnal day
counts. A definite proposition for a
railroad is presented and it is OF such q
nature that 1t requires an immediate
definite answer. Two surveys and pro-
files have been made. One leads to
Yankton-the other leads TO point re-
mote from Yankton. The railroad
builders do not appear to be particularly
anxious to follow the route leading to
Yanktop, but will come il their demands
are met. So the question now resolves
itself into an acceptance or rejection.
We need not argae in favor Of the form
or. Our people have been committed
to that policy these many months.
They realize that they are
face to face with the alternative OF every
thing or nothing. How to meet the
emergency is the problem-and it is q
problem which must be met and solved.
With its solution in favor of the PROPOSE
tion will come unexampled prosperity
with failure will come retrogression and
conditions infinitely worse than those
we have already encountered. Ii is i'm
portant for our people to act quickly
and abandon dilatory movements.
What we need is an energetic working
committee, armed with plenary powers,
| which can and will settle this matter in
a few days. Oar greatest danger is now
| in delay.

At Grafton last Thursday Professor
Harden repeated an utterance ia his
Yankton speech, to the effect that "a
proteotionist is worse than commu.
mist" Professor Harden does not ap-
pear TO object to the title of crank which
is fastening itself upon him. His Graf
ton speech contained some fresh
thoughts, taken bodily from Judge
Thurmsn's Port Huron address and
given to his audience as original with
Harden. Two such great minds are
liable to run in the same channel.

A Hint to Puny People,

From their arrival on this planet to their
usually early departure from it. people of
weak constitutions and angular physiques pass
sort of half-existeuoe. Like dormioe they
burrow in their home retreats, afraid of heat,
afraid of cold, constantly afraid that the
shadow of the dread reaper will rna.eriaiiz,
and exact the forfeit which he demands from
all, sooner or later. No finer medicinal assur-
ance Of comparative vigor for the feeble exists
than that afforded by Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tors. Used with persistence-not with spurts
and spasms-thls genial and professionally
commended tonic will do much toward infus-
Ing strength into puny system, and rounding
off scrawny apgelsin the human figure. Ap-
petite, nerve tran quillity and nightly repose
are encouraged by it. and malarial, rheu-
matte, bilious tendency overcome. 1t reestnb-
fishes digestion and prevents kidney trouble.

and many ladies were Frustrated. A
number Of children were badly frost

In many places the snow has drifted to
the depth Of forty feet. A passenger
train that can go two miles an hour is
considered to be making good time.

party is hereby called to meet at Waco,

purpose OF nominating state Prohibi-
tion ticket and soliciting delegates to at
tend the nstional Prohibition cor
Vention, which meets at Indianap-

purpose Of insuring a full repre-
sentstion from sll parts Of the state, it is
recommended that the Prohibitionists of
every county in the state meet at their
respective county seats or Saturday,
March 81, to select delegates to the state
convention. In the meantime the Pro.
hibitionists OF every precinct in the state
are earnestly urged to meet at once and
organize into Prohibition clubs, SO that
their county conventions will be largely
attended. Every local temperance Or
ganizatlon in the state, of whatever
name, that is in sympathy with the Pro-
hibition party, is requested to send rep
Tesentatives to the State convention. In
the event there are counties
in which no conventions are
held, individual Prohibition
lists from theoe counties will be recog
nized as accredited delegates. Every
citizen Of Texas who believes in the an
utilization of the liquor traffic and that
