groves on their farms. A great deal OF
fallen timber Is scattered through the
groves, which affords plenty of wood for
the settlers and their families during tho
winter. There Is no lack OF fuel and no
one need hesitate about locating there on
that account.
Other portions Of South Dakota report
scores of landseeksrs In their vicinities,
aud decided farms In every county in the
state are in good demand. Farms that
three years ago could hardly be given
away for from $500 to $400 now readily
bring from 81, 200 to 5000, and In some
sections they are becoming scarce at such
prices. One real estate firm In this city
a short time ago sold eight quarter-seo-
tions of Brule county land in one day to
parties from the east, and none of the
farms brought less than tl 800. This
was decided land bnt unimproved, Of
course, and the same pieces could un-
doubtedly have been purchased three
years ago for few hundred dollars. At
that time, just after the drouth period,
many settlers removed from South Da-
kota to states farther east and south. All
OF these people have long since returned,
and no one has more faith In the future
of the state than they have. They have
such faith in 1t that they are writing to
their friends in the east and inducing
them also to remove to this sure crop
state.
The present year starts out in very
favorable manner. The spring has ar.
rived earlier than usual. and the rains
during the past few days have placed the
ground in the best possible condition for
spring work. The frost is out of the
ground for several inches down, thus per.
mitting the sowing of wheat on fall plow-
ing, which Is now going on in many por-
tions of the state. The state will make
another record this year that will attract
the eyes OF the world.

BosToN, April 3.-Now that by the
will of the late James II. Carleton the
Whittier Homestead association of
Haverhill is assured Of $4,000 with
which to purchase and improve the
property, the trustees will immedi-
ately set TO work TO carry out the pro-
ject. 1t had long reen the desire OF
many of the poets admirers to pre-
serve the birthplace Of Whittier as a
shrine for literary pilgrims. After the
poets death fresh impetus was given
the scheme. Last winter Mr.. Carleton
purchased the farm in the easterly Aec-
ton of Haverhill from George G.
Elliott, relative Of Mr., Whit
tier, for the purpose mentioned,
and rs soon as Mr. Carleton's will is
probated the place will come into the
possession of the association. The bill
reported to the legislature this week
incorpora ting this association, gives
power to purchase more OF the farm
lands. The association will spare no
pains to make the buildings, exterior
and interior. to resemble their condi-
tion during Whittier's boyhood. "A re-
hponsible family will then be engaged
to care for the place and exhibit il TO
visitors free of any fee, AS it is believed
that the income OF the farm will make

ty-two teeth and that each mouthful
OF food should receive thirty-two bites
in order to give every tooth a chance.

Of m excellent proof OF the truth OF
this statement.
A sallow-faced, unhappy looking
man came TO DIR. BIS Office one
day when the writer chanccd TO be

for dyspepsia.

Does your food taste goodG" DIR.
B. asked.
"Tbat II does" was the reply, shut
half an hour after I've eaten I'm near
dying with distress"
"Do you drink much with your food
tea, coffee or waterp"
"A pretty considerable amount"
answered the man.
Yours is a grave case" said tho
doctor, "but can help YOU If you'll
follow my directions.
DIR. B. gave the man dark
colorcd mixture in bottle and said;
"Now. it is of the utmost Importance
that this medicine be taken properly.
Put teaspoonful in your cup of tea or
coffee at each meal; stir IL in thorough
ly and with each mouthful Of food tako
very small sip and then chew, chew,
chew, in order to mix it completely
with the food. DO this and report to
me I'm q week."
Two weeks later ! saw this dyspeptic
again but scarcely recognized him,
he was SO much improved in looks.
THAT medicine OF yours works like
u charm" he said to the doctor. "Tve
about forgotten that have q
stomach"
That's good" responded DR.. B..
Continue taking ii in the same way
for three months and you'll be a well
man"
Then,as tho man went out, DIR. B.
said 10 me:
The whole story of that mans cure
is in the word mastication. 1t is mere
ly what said TO him-chew, chew,
chew. But he wouldn't have believed
it without the medicine, which was the
simplest. The man was boiling his
food aud ! stopped it. I've cured
hundreds OF dyspeptics in similar
way. Indeed, most dyspeptics might
cure themselves il they would give
every tooth a chance--thirty-two bites
to mouthful, l,with two for every tooth

Famous Damage Suit Dismissed.

tSanborn has filed an order here dis
missing the famous damage case
brought by William A. DeKay against
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railway company for S23, 900 damages.
DeKay was run into by the defendants

was otherwise crippled. He began

county, Minnesota, but was beaten.
The supreme court of that state denied

docket for trial here in April when the
order for peremptory dismissal was
