which this city is deeply indebted for
having instituted and conducted for
three years past u charitable hospital
here, aud which has been substituted
by the state hospital, now under the
supervision of Bishop O'Gorman, has
q record that is truly wonderful and
deserving of public notice, rs is shown

dcred by Mrs. George B. Hoffman, sec
rotary, and Mrs. j. c. McVay, treas
urer, which is as follows:
During the three years of the exist
ence of the Iankton hospital ffty-one

1895, $77S.53. Amount received in

tons We're solicited, the city council
giving n subsidy of SIS per month. In
1897 the hospital was self supporting.
The balance of S46.21 is to be divided
among the two circles Of Kings
Daughters of this city.
An authors reading will be given in
this city February I by Mortimer
Crane Brown, editor of the White Lake
Wave, whose ability as a verse writer
is rare and who is well known by all
throughout the state. The fact that
he is a South Dakotan aud a poet leads
to the belief that he will be highly APP
preciated here.

Great %Interest" in the Coming State
Convention at Brookinrs.

Brookings, Feb. 2.-The annual
meeting OF the South Dakota Dairy
mems association to be held in Brook
ings on February Is to II is attracting
wide attention. The collection of sam
pies Of butter for the exhibit is nearly
completed and the exhibit promises to
be the finest ever seen in this part of
the northwest. Not Il creamery in the
state doing business on the LIST of Jan
uary will miss competing for prizes at
this exhibition. Reports of the bust
ness of ]crealneries will be an import
ant as well as an interesting feature
of the gathering. The report Of the
DcSmct creamery, of which {. =. Shcr-
wood, editor of the DeSmet News and
Leader, is secretary and manager, will
be of interest to every farmer and
creamery man in the state. 1t is one
of the Oldest and most successful liz
situations of its kind in this section
and has done a successful and profit
able business from the day it opened
its doors TO the present time. The
first eight months of its existence,
from May to December, 1895, inclusive,
it received 1,364,1ss pounds of milk,
from which 64,S56 pounds of butter
was made and sold, putting into the
hands of patrons of the creamery 3d.

milk We're 3,ss9,554 pounds, from
which 1s2, 19s pounds of butter was
made and sold. the cash receipts being

We're ~3,712,652 pounds; butter sold,

milk was 63 cents per 100 pounds; the
average test was 4.16. This showing
is the most wonderful when it is
known that two other crcameries are
in operation in the same county, one
Mt Erwin and another at Willow Lakes.
The patrons are so well pleased with
the management of the institution
that they reelected G. p. Sherwood
secretary and manager for another
year, and also reelected L. P. Sanford

Fire Is Controlled.
Elk Point, Feb. AT 3 o'clock

east was Jacob Schaetzel & Sons bank.
The loss on the building is 81, 1000. The

Woodmen's lodge, which lost every
thing. The insurance on the bank
was 5000. Colonel Ke!ler's law office
went next. His law library was saved.
His loss is $500. Here a stubborn fight
was made to ave the opera house, but
itcould not be done. The loss is S1,500.
This building was owned by the Da-
kotn Loan and Trust company of Wa

ARE you TO LIVE IN ALASkA2
some Requirements That Will &c
Found Imdtspen-

Et1' EsssSlNaET aa-.ea 8NDbSs
The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispen-
sable, is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread or biscuit, either in the camp
or upon the trail, yeast cannot be useu
1t must be baking powder; and the
powder manufactured by the process
es of the Royal Baking Powder com
pany, miners and prospectors have
learned, is the only one which will
stand in that peculiar climate of cold
and dampness and raise the bread and
biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go TO Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some outfit
ter to take one of the cheap brands OF
baking powder. it will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when
he opens it for USE, after all his labor
in packing it over the long and diff
cult route, he will tiud a solid caked
mass or u lot of spoiled powder, with
no strength and useless. Such u mis-
take might lead to the most serious re-
suits. Alaska is no place in which TO
experiment in food, or try to como
mize with your stomach. For use i'll
such a climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country, everything
must be Of the best and most useful,
and above all it is imperative that all
food supplies shall have perfect keep
ing qualities. 1t is absurd to convey
over such difficult and expensive routes
an article that will deteriorate in tram
sit, or hat will be found whea re-
-L-s- III - -1--A ----A
part of its value. .
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice of those
who nave come through similar eXpe-
.ience. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
the Father of Alaska" after an expe-
rience of years on the trail, in the
camp, and in the use of every kind of
supply. says: I'VE find in Alaska that
the Importance of a proper kind OF
baking powder cannot be overestimat-
ed. A miner with q can Of bad bak-'
ing powder is almost helpless in Alas
ka. We have tried all sorts, and have
been obliged to settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further at first, but above
all things, it is the only powder that
will endure the severe climate changes
of the arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons that the,
United States government in its relief
expeditions, and Peary, the famous
arctic traveller, have carried the Royal
Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either OH
board ship or in damp climates, and
is the most highly concentrated and
efficient of leavening agents. HENCE it
is Indispensable to every Alaskan out
fit. 1t can be had of any of the trad
ing companies in Alaska, but should
the miner procure his supplies before
leaving, he should resist every attempt
of the outfitter to palm off upon him
any of the other brands of baking
powder, for they Will spoil and prove
the cause of great disappointment and
trouble.
