Farmers-Yes, South Dakota fur
nishes an excellent field for diversified
farming. Wheat, corn, barley and
flax are produced in abundant quanti-
ties and find ready market at good
prices, while the cost of production is
much less than in the eastern states.
Stock raising and wool growing have
become successful industries in South
Dakota, where thousands of acres OF
the finest land in the United States

FRESH LINE OF PURE DRUGS
Particular care given to physicians
prescriptions.
J. M. REED & CO.,
Main street,
Morgantown.

An important rule now in vogue
with the great Pennsylvania Rail
road and all its proprietary lines is
that nothing he used but first class
ties in the track, and nearly the
whole supply comes from West Vir
ginia woodlands. The regulation
dimensions for the ties for this com
pany are seven inches face. seven
inches thick, and eight and one half
feet long-the standard size for all
first class roads-and a good, sound
tie is expected To last eight wears.
Again, ell standard guage roads use
hewed ties exclusively. while on
most narrow guage roads and on
small standard gnage lines sawed
ties are accepted. The number of
ties to mile of track will average
twenty five hundred when laid as APP
proved by experience ms to safety,
efficiency, and wear. In the past year
one company delivered on its various
contracts between eight hundred
thousand aud one million ties. All
ties before delivery are inspected and
passed upon by rail road official.

California as a Sanitarium

In an article written for the Califor-
MAN, Lieutenant John p Finley, of
the United States Weather Bureau;
makes the, following statement,
Theoretically California should fur
nish the best and the most varied
health resorts and sanitarium in the
United States Within her borders
almost every form of wasting disease
should find the means of temporary,
if not permanent relief.
This theoretical statement, from all
unbiased, scientific standpoints, is
fully and abundantly confirmed by
actual experience The cool and brac-
ing coast climate, devoid Of any trace
of malaria, extends from the northern
part of the State TO the extreme south.
There is the choice between this cool,
humid atmosphere and the dry, warm
atmosphere of the inland valleys.
In the matter of altitude there is a
yet greater difference. From Palm
Valley, 300 feet below sea level, to the
upper Sierras, 1000 or 5000 above,
any altitude can be selected and
comfortable homes be founded.
The popularity of an almost rain
less summer, during which the injur-
ious germs of animal and vegetable
decay are destroyed by thorough desi-
cation, is one of the striking features
of California climate.
During the rainy season it is usual
ly too cool to facilitate fermentation,
and the result is, except along some
of the river valleys, an absolutely pure
atmosphere. The ocean winds enter
ing through the several coast openings
are tempered by the intermediate area
passed over, and often receive desira-
bic healing properties by taking up
the resinous odors of the pines and
redwoods on the Coast Range.
The skillful physician, acquainted
with the climatic conditions, should
find little difficulty in selecting To-
cality where climate environment will
do all that these agencies can ever do
toward the restoration of health.
There is enough of wildness to keep
the mind constantly engaged, and
enough of civilization to satisfy the
most exacting.
Sufferes from pulmonary diseases
people whose systems are charged
with malaria, or are ''run down" by
over work, find immediate and in
many cases permanent relief in this
invigorating climate, establishing
anew the fact recognized by all intel
ligent persons, whether physicians or
laymen, that ''Nature is the best

Memen and Marriage.

The Federal census for 1890 re- i
ports that of the 19,6G2,lTS women /
OF manageable age 6,233, 207, or
one third. were unmarried. Over
one haif 90 per cent. OF the women
h,twoen twenty and twenty five were
unmaiiie'l, and 2s per cent of those
between twenty five and thirty, while
6 per cent will never marry
Ii a woman does not marry by the /
time she is twenty, the chances are
50 to Al that she will not be married |
until she is twenty five, and 2S to 70 |
that she will not be married even at |
thirty. To put it in simpler form,
of every 100 women who reach the |
age of twenty unmarried Al marry
between twenty and twenty five,
while twenty five marry between %
and thirty, while SIX never marry.
According to the State census for
1875, out of each 100 women in New
York then reaching the age of TWEEN
ty unmarried So married before they
were twenty five and S4 before they
were thirty. If New York was fair
representative of the country in 1875,
and, for this purpose of comparison
1t certainly was, the remarkable
change in relation to marriage which
social observers have talked so much
about can be proved by actual fig
ures
One reason why fifteen years ago
63 out of every 100 women married
between the ages of twenty and
twenty five, while only al marry
now. is because many avenues have
been opened to women by which
they can earn IA living without be-

THE TOP NOTCH REACHED.
A Remarkable War Souvenir offered
Absolutely Free-Read This Care
fully,

The top notch of enterprise and lib
crafty has been reached by The Pitts
burg Times, which announces that ey-
cry one Of its sixty thousand subscrib-
ers, and all who will become regular
readers before Saturday, May 18th,
will be presented with the First Part
of the most remarkable Art Portfolio

Frank Leslie's Scenes and Portraits
of the Civil War; which will furnish
a complete and authentic history of
the conflict between the States in
pictures drawn on the spot and in de-
scriptive prose. The First Part will
be delivered free to all readers of The
Pittsburg Times in exchange for the
first six coupons, and the other TWEEN
ty-nine parts will be furnished in ex-
change for six coupons clipped from
The Times and ten cents for each
part.
There win be thirty parts, twenty
six of which will be devoted TO Illus
trations and four to reading matter
Each of the first twenty-six parts viii
contain sixteen illustrations, making
a total of four hundred and sixteen in
the complete volume. Short descrip-
tions will accompany the pictures in
each part. The pictures were made
ON the scene of battle by the most ia
nous artist of the time, and can
therefore be relied upon as absolutely
accurate. The work will be a supple
ment to every written history, por-
traying as 1t does the striking Incl
dents of battle and giving the like
nesses of the leaders whose names
were on every lip in the days of strife
Here the veterans will find the past
recalled, and here the young may gain
inspiration to emulate their patriot
ism and devotion.
The Pittsburg Times deserves
thanks for placing this splendid his
tory within the reach Of the people at
noninal cost, and its proposed free
distribution Of the First Part to all
its readers is generosity without
parallel. If you are not a reader OF
The Times, order it from your news
