GOES BACK TO THE PULPIT.
Chairman Basford Returns to Ills First
Love,

Love.
An event has just TRANSFERRED at Redfield
hat will cause quite a sensation in pOlitis
cal circles in South Dakota. This was the
appearance Of Orville $. BasfOrd, Chair
man of the Republican State Central Com
mittee before the full board of the Meth
odist Church.
Basford reviewed his past life, confessed
his backsliding in leaving the Church for
politics and begged to be reinstated to fell
iowship that he might secure his former
pastoral calling. Basford was once a min
lister in good standing, but event back
into the world" He is now in Missouri,
where he hopes to get into the conference
there.
A curious thing in connection with
Chairman BasfOrd'S action is that it is the
fulfllment of a prediction made by the
late Judge Howe, Populist candidate for
Governor, who declared several years ago
that Treasurer Taylor would never settle
with the State and that Basford would go
back to the pulpit and quit the political
field.

TIN Register of Deeds at Redfeld has
crriycd a letter from Attorney Rufus r.
Peek. of Cour;land, n. Y, asking if school
nonIs of any individual school district are
reouired TO be registered, and if so, were
81. 800 worth Of bonds of the Capitola School
township of sphinx County registered in
1894 or 1898. The bonds are dated January
: 1875, are for $500 each and are nine in
number. The attorney asks whether there
a Capitola School Township in that
county. The inquiry is made after hear
nc from parties at DOland that no such
school township exists. The attorney
,laims the bonds were issued to refund
mc-half Of the original $4,000 worth Of
jonis issued some years ago by the same
-ownShip. There is no record of any
bonds having been issued by Capitola
Township. Fictitious names are signed
or both thc Clerk and Chairman of the
school Board, and the bonds are certified
o by an unknown party under the name
If lnman. The officials know nothing of
these alleged bonds or the individuals
named on them. Much speculation is in
dulged in as to the extent of the frauds
and who are the culprits mixed up in their
manufacture and sale. Speculation natur-
ally points to d~efaulting State Treasurer
Taylor, who disposed of much paper down

IDS 1T.
The Modern Treatment Consists in
Removing the Cause.


From the Republican. Cedar Rapids. A7oa.)
Mrs. V. Curley. who has resided in Clar-
ence. Iowa, for the past twenty-five years,
tells an interesting story of what she con
siders rescue from premature death. Her
narrative is as follows:
; For ten years prior to 1894, [ was 4
constant sufferer from acute stomach
trouble. l had all the manifold symptoms
of acute dyspepsia, and at times other
troubles were present in complication-I
did not know what it was to enjoy IL meal.
No matter bow careful / might be as TO
the quality, quantity and preparation of
my food, distress always followed eating.
l was Respondent and blue. Almost to
the point of insanity at times, and would
have been glad tn die. Often and often I
could not sleep. Sympathetic heart trou-
BILE set in and time end again l w:ls
obliged to call a doctor in the night to re-
lieve sudden attacks of s%uffOcatiOn which
would come on without q moments warn
ing; ,o,,,os ;,o,o..oa u, +;uo .
and | spent large sums in doctor bills, be-
ing compelled to have medical attendants
almost constantly. During 1892 and
1893 it was impossible for me to retain
food, and water brashes plagued ne. |
was reduced to a skeleton. A consulta-
ton of physicians was unable to deter
mine just what did all me. The doctors
gave us as their opinion that the probable
trouble was liberation of the coats of the
stomach and held out no hope of recov-
cry. One doctor said, 'Al l can do to
relieve your suffering is by the use Of
opium
about this time a friend of mine, Mrs.
SAMANTHA Smith. of Glidden, Iowa, told
me about the case of Mrs. Thurston, of
Oxford Junction, Iowa. This lady SAID
she had been afflicted much the same rs
l had. She had consulted local phyaj-
clans without relief, and had gone TO
Davenport for treatment. Giving up all
hope of recovery. she was persuaded by
a friend to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
The result was almost magical.
II was led to try them from her expo
i%rience, and before many months | felt
better than l had for a dozen years. I
am now almost free from trouble. and If
through some error of diet l feel badly.
this splendid remedy sets me right again.
l have regained my strength and am once
more in my usual flesh. / sleep well and
can eat without distress. l have no doubt
that / owe my recovery to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. l only wish that l had heard
of them years ago., thereby saving my
self ten years of suffering and much
lOney."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
sickness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all drug
Sists, or may be had by mail from DR..
Williams Medicine Company, Schenec-
tady, N. Y, for soc. per box, or six boxes
for $3.50.

Refused to EurnIah Seed

Inc commissioners of Hand County has
refused to furnish seed to farmers, leaving
1t to the townships to procure seed for
those needing it. In som townships this
mas worked all right, but in some others
the officers have been unable to sell the
warrants. There are few, however, in the
county who will not have sufficient seed to
put in a crop, the late spring having given
all a good chance to hustle among their
friends and acquaintance and get seed
grain, and now all are in readiness to put
IN their crops when the weather will per-
nit.
