South Dakota Attains -
Knviabls Position.
From the Oregon Independent. Salem. Ore.
The daughter of Hon. J. 81. Fletcher,
formerly governor of South Dakota, but
now a resident of Salem. Oregon. has
lately attained an enviabls position.
Her success Is remarkable. especially
when the fact Ia known that for some
time it was feared her career would Be
shortened because Of i'll health.
Ex-Governor Fletcher In speaking Of
the happy event in his daughters Me
said:
"For over two years my daushtss
had been declining from q strong.
healthy. rosy checked person - . pale,
weakly and helpless girl. She was
afflicted with terrible headaches, and
apparently grew weaker and more lam
guild, and apparently without cause.
We became greatly alarmed and feared
that her days were already mum bersd.
81 tried several doctors, one after
the other. but all without avail Fin
ally. to please a friend, bought box
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, and to our surprise. before IL
was used her headaches ceased, the
color began to return to her cheeks and
lips and her strength began 10 ,assert
itself.
II bought Ave boxes more and by
the time she had finished them she was
completely restored to her health, and
today our hearts are gladdened with
the society of robust, rosy and
healthy girl instead of pale. tired and
sickly one. In her case the transfor-
nation was rapid and wonderful, and
/ can never speak too highly Of the
splendid merits of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills."
No discovery of modern times has
proved such boon to women a. DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Acting directly on the blood and
nerves, invigorating the body. regulat.
ing the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted
woman when every effort Of the ply si.
clan proves unavailing.
For the growing girl they are OF the
utmost benefit, for the mother indis.
pensable, for every woman invaluable.
Everywhere DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are recognized, as q
specific for diseases OF the blood and
nerves. For paralysis. locomotor atax-
ia. and other diseases long supposed
incurable. they have proved their eff
cacy in thousands OF cases. They are
one OF the greatest blessings ever be.

lines in Alaska. and it was important too
that cable lines entering Alaska should he
under the control of the American govern
ment The idea of his proposition was to
prevent any foreign government or corpo-
ration from entering Alaska with either tel
egraph or cable lines. He adverted to the
fact that Canadian company was now
constructing a telegraph line with the idea
OF crossing Alaska and laying a cable from
the Alaskan coast across the northern Pa
cific ocean to China. This company had a
subsidy of S2',o1oo a year. 1t ought not to
be permitted to land its cable on the Alas
kan coast The American government, he
thought. ought TO control the cable lines OF
the Pacific.
Mr.. Carter said the whole matter had
been thoroughly discussed in the commit
tee. and he could see reason why any
number of cable lines should not be COL
structed across the Pacific.

PROFIT on KRUPP GUNS.
An Interesting Report by Consul Gem
erai Guenther.

Consul General Guenther, at Frankfort.
has made a report to the State Depart
mcnt in regard to the profits made by
krupp in his contracts with the German
government He says that some time ago
krupp furnished guns at s1.143 each. Com
petitors afterward received an order for
the same kind for Si64.30 each. Thareup1n
krupp reduced his price from s1.145 20
s432.3s. For shrapnels krupp received
s2.'e:: his competitors furnished them at
s1.19
1T is an error says the consul general,
Ito say that krupp alone can furnish
nickel plates for the navy. The process of
manufacture IS no secret but is known by
every Intelligent manufacturer If there
were competition the nickel plates could
be obtained at half the price paid to Krupp
The navy department however. prescribes
conditions which make competition impoS-
sible. Testing grounds are required of the
same dimensions those of Krupp. which
belong to the government and have been
rented to him. The necessary provisions
for testing 24-centmcter guns would cost
between S500,00 and S15o.ooo; for 1J-ceu-
tineter guns $4,000 Without previous as
surances on the part of the government no
body would risk such an investment"
