THE STATE LOSES.

South Dakota Not Entitled to . Part Of
the Yankton Reserve.
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Secretary
Smith has decided that the state of
South Dakota is not entitled to the
$4,000 acres of valuable lands in the
Zankton Sioux reservation which the
state recently took steps to secure for
its own use. The entire reservation
comprises about 1853, 600 acres, and the
$4,000 claimed by the state in
cluded some of the most valuable
lands in South Dakota. The reserve
was to have been opened for settlement
within a few days, but final action was
deferred pending the decision of the
disputed question. It is now probable
the president will promulgate the
proclamation within few days and
the opening will take place three days
afterward.

DEATH LIST REDUCED.

Fatalities From the lows Storm Less
Numerous Than At First Supposed.
Sioux CITY, Ia, May S.-Order is
coming out of chaos in the narrow dis
trict of Sioux county. which was swept
by the tornado on Friday afternoon.
Prompt aid has made the survivors OF
the devastated country as comfortable
as possible. Nearly all the dead are
now buried, and none Of the injured
now living are thought to be fatally
hurt. The Journals staff representa-
tive, who went all over the ground
swept by the storm, says $1O, 600 will
cover the property damage, including
houses, barns, outbuildings and fences.
In few places are the crops seriously
damaged, for grain cannot be up far
enough to be killed or lodged by the
wind, and the principal injury in the
fields was by the plastering Of mud
which they received. This mud

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease,
and, therefore, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on
the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to tsaspoonful.
It acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars Tor any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testmon-

AUTUMNAL EXCURSION.
From philadelphia to Este1le,
~. j., ON October z9.

~. j., ON October z9.
A. E. Long, of Philadelphia. who has
managed many large excursions in the
past few years, has arranged for a NAM
moth excursion to Estelle Station, on the
South Jersey Railroad, from Philadel-
phia, October 20. A special train has
been chartered for the occasion and sew
eral hundred persons will go. Round
trip tickets, including railroad and ferry
fares and splendid dinner in house
near the station, only $1.25 each. The
regular railroad fare is $1.75. The ex-
cursionists will leave from the foot of
Chestnut and South Sts., Philadelphia,
by ferry, at $50 A. NJ, and take the
train on the Camden side at S.42. Re-
turning, the party will leave Estelle at
4.44 P. NJ, reach Camden at 5 So, and
Philadelphia, via Chestnut and South
Street prices, at 6.10.
The object of the excursion is to show
about 200 five-acre farms of rich garden
land for sale. About twelve months ago
1900 farms in the Estelle tract were
opened up for sale. Since then 1908
farms have been soldl Many of the pur-
chasers have taken possession of them
and, built homes, moved their families
in and begun to make crops.
When it is remembered that one of
these farms can be bought for $100 and
paid for in instalments of 81 cash down
and 81 week, if desired, it is not diff
cult to understand why so much land
was sold in such short time.- All of
these sales have been made through D..
L. Risley, the Philadelphia real estate
dealer, 2II s. 10th ST., Philadelphia,
who laid out the tract.
The soil around Estelle is notably fer
tile. 1t is dark, gravelly loan, especi-
ally suitable for small fruit, vegetable
and poultry raising. Theland is covered
with almost enough wood to pay for it,
and the wood can be used for fences,
rails, posts and fuel.
MIR. Long will have number of assis-
tants along and every one will be shown
personal attention. Ladies will be es
peclally well treated.
Just at this season of the year when
the trees and the foliage are wearing
their lOveliest and brightest garb. when
Nature is sweetest and most bew itching,
when the air is just cold enough to be
bracing, this-excursion will be particu-
larry pleasant.
Collectors of Autumn leaves, grasses
and ferns should certainly go, for the
most beautiful specimens are plentiful in
the woods around Estelle.
ALI the farms for sale are desirable.
Some are near the railroad, some near
the Tuckahoe River, some on the knOlls
between. Some are highland, some low
land.
Everybody is positively guaranteed a
pleasant days outing and good dinner.
Ample provision will be made. You
DOM have to buy a farm unless you
want to, and there are no incidental ex-
penses to pay; $1.25 covers everything
i days trip like this will do anybody
good. Tickets can be obtained at D L..
Risley's office, oil S. 10th St., Philadel.
phia.
