The secret service officials have
discovered a new counterfeit $40
silver certificate, series of 1891;
check letter "A"! w. S. Rose
Grams, register; E. H. Nebecker,
treasurer; portrait, Hendricks;
small scalloped carmine seal. The
note, which is both poor in color
and workmanship, is apparently
printed from a wood-cut plate
and is much smaller every way
than the genuine. The word
Register is spelled ''Regist." "
The color Of the treasury number
is faded blue, almost green, and
the numbers are too heavy.

Sioux City Journal: Maj De-
marest of Watertown calls atten-
ton to the fact that the ladies of
the w. r. c. in South Dakota
who send wearing apparel and
table delicacies to the Soldiers
home at Hot Springs are wasting
their energies. On a recent visit
there he saw large quantities OF
these things piled up and of no
use. The comrades at the home
are supplied with every essential
comfort and many of the rugs
and fancy articles sent to the
home have not been used at all.
He suggests that such things
should be used by the ladies in
making happier the poor people
Hearer their homes.

with perhaps one exception--Harry
Katz, WHO said. 'sRats in wet
weather hunt their holes, all
care for is to get my money in
this fall" That kind of talk
sounds heathenish, coming from
a man who has made a fortune
out of the community in which he
lives. While this paper is not in
a position to say what Turner
county will do in the matter, it
believes that this is the golden
opportunity for South Dakota,
and particularly the southeastern
counties of the state, to show to
the world at large the returns
which can be gathered from the
soil by thorough and systematic
cultivation. From present indi-
cations the yield will be one of
the largest ever received, and
many eastern farmers and busi-
ress men will be looking this fall
for new locations, and we want
them and their money and enter
prise to assist in making this one
of the most desirable portions OF
our country in which to live and
do business. Let us have the Har-
lvest Festival by all means.

The cold Settlers" of YanlSton
held an enjoyable picnic at River
side Park, on the Jim river, last
week, and as number of the
Herald readers once trained with
the Yankton crowd, we copy the
following from the Yankton Her
aid:
Mayor A. NJ. English was the first
speaker. He gave a short sketch of
early days in Yankton, saying that
when he first came here, most of the
population consisted Of old bachelors,
who were holding down claims. He re-
hearsed the history OF Jim Summers
who was one OF the early day characters,
saying that jim was true friend and
deadly enemy. A. NJ. related some of
his personal experience in Indian fight
ing, which was decidedly interesting
to his listeners.
The next speaker was Gov. T. M. Zie-
bach, who was greeted with hearty ap-
plause by the large audience The
Governor started out by Saying that
every old settler possesses all of the
characteristics of George Washington.
He said that old settlers associations
are TO be commended. The Governor
gave some very interesting informa-
tion regarding early days in the Dako-
made towards securing territorial gov
ernmcnt was in 1858. One of the last
official acts of President Buchanan was
the signing of the Organic Act. Presi-
dent Lincoln appointed the first terri
torial officers. The Governor said
there was some dispute as to the first
newspaper established in the territory
OF Dakota after its organization. He
claimed that the Dakotan, issued by
VIM. Frenzy and himself, was issued in
June, 1861, and that the Republican at
VermilliOn, came out a few months
later to support the candidacy of Bell
for congress. The first marriage that
occurred was between John Cloud and
u dusky Sioux maiden. John H. Charles
performed the ceremony. Jim Booge
opened up the ball which John Pierce,
of Sioux City, also attended. He
brought down the crowd with the state
ment that Clouds wife left him after
two weeks of married life because .of
his bad breath. The Governor then
gave historYo of incidents that occurred
in the early years. The first congress
man elected (Todd) was a democrat
He also gave some valuable statistics
as to educational and other matters.
He said that Yankton county had seven
ty miles OF railroad that cost her $780,
900 and that these same lines OF road
that we have paid SO much for are cut
ting our commercial throat today. In
conclusion he remarked that the only
way to secure relief from this railroad
oppression is to send men to the legis
lature who cannot be bought up with
free passes. free whisky and free lunch

of two weeks in the Hills. About
one week was spent at Hot
Springs, atid the governor and
his family are delighted With
their first visit to that beautiful
section of the state.
The governor feels indignant
over the stories which have been
appearing in the newspapers to
the effect that he intended to par
don Defaulter Taylor and said
such a thing had never been
thought of. Such course at no
time has been indicated by the
governor. The case is entirely
in the hands of the attorney gem
eral, and the governor does not
now intend and never has intend
ed to interfere with the preroga-
tlves of that official.
Treasurer Phillips said the
statement made, in the story pur-
porting to come nS from Taylor, to
the effect that MIR. Phillips would
treat Mr.. Taylor's Redfeld bank
literally was absolutely false.
Mr.. Phillips has a letter in which
Taylor himself discls.i1ns the
credit of the statement. The
treasurer said:
"The state of South Dakota is
in a good condition financially,
and no trouble has been expert
enced in getting all the money
we needed. Our bonds were
placed without any trouble at all.

TO demonstrate the excellence of the
fender, and at the first trial the fender
calmly jumped on the dummy. lam
basted IL fore and aft. turned IL over
and over. pounded and tore IL all to
pieces. and then passed 1t carefully on
for the car wheels TO run over and

another dummy. and the fender
warmed up to it's work and proceeded
TO do much greater execution in a far
shorter space of time. The more eX-
periments that were made. the better
oughly did il chew up all that was
thrown before it.
A successful trolley car fender has
yet TO be invented. The need of one is
very great The cities of Brookly and
Philadelphia show a surprisingly large
number of fatalities due to the trolley
roads. The city of Brooklyn records
one hundred and eight persons killed
in two years by the trolley cars. and
in Philadelphia the number is seventy
five for a year and half. 1t is diff
cult to understand this except on the
supposition that trolley cars are run
too rapidly for safety in those cities.
and that Is a matter that should be
subject TO regulation. In the state of
Massachusetts the total number of ac-
cidents in connection with the electric
roads in the year 1854 was one thou
sand three hundred and forty-one. of
which only twenty-nine were fatal.
Three of the persons killed were en-
ployes, six were passengers and twenty
were pedestrians. This is a small num-
Der of fatalities compared with the
number killed in Brooklyn and Phila-
delphia. But Massachusetts proposes
to make the electric roads in the state
still safer by a law requiring all cars
to be provided with suitable tenders
Such a safe guard should be required
everywhere. and would be If only there
was such a thing.

In the Medical World.

Now comes the announcement of the
discovery and successful use in Paris
of a cancer serum. The doctors have
already got the upper hand of small
pox and diphtheria and to some ex-
tent consumption. and II they really
have mastered cancer the news is of
very great Importance. The new serum
is obtained from the blood of dogs pre-
viously inoculated with the cancerous
fluid. Two physicians report that
several seemingly hopeless cases OF
cancer have been successfully treated.
The serum is prepared in the same
manner as the anti-toxin, which is fur
nished from the blood of the horse.
II is interesting to note the new use to
which our dumb friends. the domestic
animals. are being put in their service
of man.
But while medical science is making
these rapid advances ii is also discover
ing new and alarming ills that modern
flesh is heir 10. An accepted authority
on brain diseases and a superintendent
of a large lunatic asylum calls the at
tention of the medical profession to the
fact that paresis is certainly increasing
both in this country and Europe. The

from bad to worse till II renders its
victim utterly helpless in mind and
body and kills him in few years.
No cure for this disease has ever
been discovered. nor has any mitiga-
ton been yet devised. The malady is
declared TO be a disease OF cities. of
restless lives. of active brains in their
prime, sometimes OF debauchery and
dissipation and of life at high pressure
