HOT SPRINGS, s.. D., Dec SO,-The
Black Hills college. of this place, is again
without a president. The board of trustees
has demanded the resignation Of Rev. w.
J. Pyle, who was elected president last
summer. It seems that the board wanted
a man to take charge of the college s
affairs who could hustle on the outside,
and that Mr.. Pyle wanted to be the pres
ident of a college. Mr. Pyle's work on
the outside was good, but he wanted to
attend to the class work; the board says
it was the understanding that he should
permit the vice president to attend to the
class work, and conine his attention to
outside matters, and that this is the rea-
son he was given the position. Mr.. Pyle
intends to contest the action Of the board,
and will endeavor to retain his position.

They enter the marriage state already
disordered by irregularity of the periods.
The delicate and sensitive organs, pecu-
liarly feminine, are in no condition for
the shock which is consequent on the
great change. Drains that are offensive
and debilitating are set up, inflammation
and liberation with female trouble are
added in time, and when motherhood
comes the strength of body is inadequate,
