Reward After Hardship.

Sturgls, S. D.-Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Ash. former residents Of this city have
returned from Alaska after an alb
sence of five years. They have ex-
~perienced many hardships in their So
journ in the Klondike region, and both
have suffered an impairment of their
health. Mr.. Ash was one of the first
to go up the Yukon to Fort Cudahy
and Circle City and afterward to Daw-
SOL City. He now owns some of the
richest mining claims in that coun-
try. IL is reported that just before he
left for the states he sold a part in
terest in his business for 100000. The
climate, according to their report, is
not as severe as is generally supposed,
it being possible for any person aceus-
toned to the winters of the North
west, when properly clothed to live in
Alaska quite comfortably.

A Noted Case DELAYED.

Chamberlain, s. D.-The hearing in
the case of Mrs. Joseph Manore against
Miss Grace Howard, in which she asks
damages to the amount Of $1,000 for
alternating her husbands affections.
which was expected to occupy the at
tention of Judge Smith and a Jury at
the regular term Of court in this city
next month, will be delayed. The
boards OF several townships failed to
send in names with which to make up
the complete jury list, so 1t was i'm
possibie to draw jurors, and as the at
torneys interested were unable to agree
upon a list, the term Of court was
necessarily rendered impossible. 1t is
not expected that a term will be held
earlier than next March.

The dictum that, while civilized man
cannot live without dining, he might
live a good deal longer without so
much dining-or, rather, without din
ing so extensively-may be accepted
without any reservation. A celebrat-
ed physician once said that he had
been convinced by circumstances that
had come under his notice in the curse
OF his experience that more mischief
in the form of disease has accrued TO
civilized man from habits in
eating than from alcoholic drink. He
also declared himself in doubt whether
improper and inordinate eating were
not as great evils as inordinate drink
ing. Many Of our best-known medical
men say that the habit of over-eating
is at the bottom CT most troublesome
diseases. There is no doubt that the
habit l.; most often contracted in child
hood. There are many mothers who
feed their babies as often as they cry
taking it for granted that the baby
cries for food, when more often the
helpless little creature is crying be-
cause they already had too much food
When the stomach once becomes ac-
customed to being crowded with food,

pie who experience this will only perse-

Considerable opposition is being man.
ifested toward lie postal savings bank
bill fathered by the Chicago Record
newspaper. Quite unexpectedly this
opposition comes from those from
whom hearty support was expected.
And what would seem more remark
able still, the bankers. as a class. favor
the proposition. II may therefore be
inferred hat the bill contains some
provisions favorable to the men who
deal in money, as against those who
produce the things for which money
exchanges. Every sensible person
must favor postal savings banks. 1t
is not likely. however. that congress
will authorize that kind of a postal
savings institution that will be moth
ing more than a collecting agency for
the national banks. The Records bill
has several bad features. We hope
that these will be amended. We be-
lieve, nevertheless, that the bill has
been drawn up in good faith. Thou
sands have thoughtlessly signed petit
tons favoring the bill. These petit
tions, OF course, will have no weight
in congress.
