Funeral Ceremonies.

Impressive funeral services were held
over the remains of the late Mrs, W. II.
Saul at residence, three miles north
west of Mitchell Sunday afternoon.
The attendance was much larger than
the house would accommodate, and a
great many friends from the country
and the city went to pay their last re-
spects to the memory of the deceased
lady. Surrounding the casket was a
profusion of beautiful flowers that were
sent by friends from both city and
country, attesting strong friendship for
the deceased and the members of the
family. The services were conducted
by Rev. 7. Fl. Youngman and he de.
livered an impressive sermon. The
music was furnished by Misses Lee and
and Meyer and Fred Kratz, with Mrs.
r. N. Kratz at the organ.
A long line OF carriages followed the
remains to Grscela~d Gene sry, where
the interment took place. 1t was
counted one of the longe professions
that has entered the cemetery in good
many years. The family is very highly
regarded both in the city and country
and the friends are numerous in both
communities.

BUILDING TO OIL FIELDS.
Railroads and Pipe Lines are Being.
Laid to the Oil Fields in CAL
ifornia at Present.

M. 81. Rowley, secretary OF the Mitch
ell Crude Oil Co., received q very en-
couraging letter from E. A. Bruce,
dated at McKittrick, Cal, Oct. 81,
which makes reference to the move
msnt toward the Mid way Oil Co.'S land.
The letter is as follows:
The Bankers & Brokers COMPANY
have moved over to Midway field from
Kern River fields. The Standard Oil
Company and the two railway compan-
les are now in a fight for the crude oil
and the Standard is building a pipe
line of their own from Oakland down to
the oil fields. There is also a COMPANY
who are preparing to build railway
and also a pipe line company from Mid
way and McKlttrick due west to the
coast. The Standard is now at work on
large refinery al Oakland, and things
seem to be coming our way all along the
line at present. 1 hope that it will con-
tinue and that we will be able to get
more than we are counting upon in the
end. With best wishes, remain.
Yours truly,
e. A. BRUCE,
Secretary.

A GOOD ENDORSEMENT.
The Republican is Accorded High
Position Among the Newspa-
pers Of the State.

We have just received a copy of the
Newspaper Blue Book, published by
Theodore Wiese, of the United States
Press Clipping Bureau, Chicago. Each
year the bureau furnishes a list of the
best daily ard weekly papers in the
United States, classified by states. The
selections are based upon careful COM
parlsons of the value of the different
papers to the patrons of press clip.
ping bureau and are the outgrowth of
continuous actual daily experiences in
clipping from them in process of filing
orders of an extensive clientele of busi-
ness and professional men of all classes.
This puts the bureau io position to
know and judge which are the best
papers in the state.
The Blue Book publishes it's list of
the best state deilies and includes only
one daily newspaper of highest excel
leuce in the United States. The result
has been reached by the amount of
matter that has been clipped from the
papers and the demand for the informa
tion from that paper.
There are ten daily papers in South
Dakota ard the Blue Book places THE
MITCHELL REPUBLICAN at the head of
the daiiies CT the state as baing the best
under al circumstances. In matter
OF this kind The papers have to stand on
their merits and the honor conferred
upon the paper is due solely because
the paper has baen called into use a
greater number of times than any other.
IHE REPUBLICAN appreciates the
high compliment that has been given it
by the Blue Book.

Having had so many inquiries regard,
ing a trip recently maue 10 South Dak-
ota, L write the following as | saw it for
the benefit of all the readers of the Gaz-
cite.
Sometime in July having been ex-
posed TO parties afflicted with fever
known as land fever l fell victim to
the only contagious disease that ever
gained foothold on me. l had il so
ba1ly that all local remedies proved a
failure. On September 16 1 boarded
anywhere or any place between Yank-
ton and Aberdeen, South Dakota. MY
disease received a severe shock the first
night and believe [ could have re-
turned home cured if could have told
just how to do it. Tt was cold night
for the season and the rail road people
had failed to furnish fire and I shiv-
cred with hundreds of others all night
long. Arriving at Sioux City my eyes
were opened. l had supposed that all
parties afflicted with my disease were Cd
this side of the Father of Waters, but
discovered that to one afflicted in
Illinois there were fifty in more ad-
vanced stage of the disease from that
beautiful state OF Iowa where had al
ways thought to own a farm on it's
d
mans ambition. All trains in NSouth
Dakota on account of the number of peo-
pie travelling who are afflicted with this
land fever, are two 10 five hours late.
SouSh Dakota is o continuation OF Iowa
without so many red barns. The latter
will come with time. South Dakota
has e great future before it and the
chances for making big money are
greater than any place i know of, 1t is
becoming less grain and more
stock country each year. Mitchell from
passing view is q tiue place and land
between Yankton and Mitchell is now
selling as high as $50 per acre. There
is poor land in South Dakota but the
majority OF it is as good as ever saw
any where, To give you some idea of
most of the country stood on the de-
pot platform at Wolsey and watched the
head light OF the train 1 was to take
twenty five minutes before it arrived.
| took a general view of Huron and
liked it very much. Iroquois is much
smaller place than l expected to find,
but around it lies some of the most
beautiful land | saw. Land has almost
doubled in price there in the past four
months. My ticket was good to Aber-
deem but after going as far as Redfeld,
Sphinx county, and becoming the owner
of nice 160 acre farm three miles from
and within sight of Redfeld the fever [
had when I left old Galena. had been
subdued and I had begun to enjoy my
usual good health. OF course I am
'struck on Redfeld after travelling
from south to north and making side
trips through four or five counties of
the state. After seeing the farmer do.
ing his different kinds of work there I
saw this that up to date only one farmer
out of every three really farms in South
Dakota. The one succeeds as he does
Everywhere, the other two are more or
less failures as they ought to be, and the
latter are the fellows that have given
South Dakota its bad name, from which
It is now recovering at great stride. (
saw as good crops there and plenty of
them as I have seen anywhere, and
some as poor.

DEATH oF MRS. SAUL.
Suecumbed to Brights Disease From
Which She Has Been Suffer-
er for Nearly Ten Years.

Mrs. w. 81. Saul died at her home a
few miles northwest of this city Fri
day evening at $3.50 o'clock, aged 45
years. For the past ten days Or two
weeks her condition has been critical
and it WAS evident that she could not
recover. 1t was about ten years ago
that Brights Disease first made it's
first appearance and her health was
effected, and during the greater share
of the time she has been an invalid
although she would not give up work.
Mr.. aud Mrs. Saul came to Dawson
county about Is years ago and have re.
sided on their farm ever since. Mrs.
Saul was splendid woman and had the
high respect of a great many people
both in the city and country, and they
will regret to learn of her death. She
leaves two daug hters, Misses Alice and
Mamie, and her husband, to mourn he,
death.

my farms in Hutchinson aad Bon

corn this fall has decidedly less smut in
it thsn | have grown for many years, in
fact have nothing like the quantity of

believe 1 can clean nv corn entirely by

used more powder per acre | should
have had excellent results. Anyway |

powder is what we require and ] shall
certainly use ii on al my seed corn an
other year.
Here we have it agaiu-the farmers
must Interest themselves in matters
that will benefit them the most and then
success is ahead of it.
Now in regard to putting It on the
market next spring. You would be sur,
prised to read all the correspondence
that | have received asking if 1 will fill
orders. l would rather not do so until
the farmers have learned how to use it,
but they will never learn until it is is
sued. Last spring gave it free of any
charge, but | cannot do it again. II
the farmers will pay me about the cost
for the powder will supply limited
quantity but not direct to the farmers
because it would be no end of expense
in the form of express charges.
am willing to supply it to the mer-
chants in the different towns, who, OF
course, must be paid for the trouble, aud
paid we'll, too. Ask the merchant YOU
trade with if he will order it for YOU.
As have said the anti-smut powder
consists ofsvery good and powerful GER
micides and are very dangerous in their
nature Neither farmers or their hired
help can be too careful or particular
regarding this poisonous matter.
The packages when emptied should be
burned. Any carelessness on the part
of those who hapdle it by allowing this
poison to lie about the farm may cause
trouble and perhaps the death of an in
nocent person. would say here that
Rough-on-Rsts is just as dangerous as
the anti smut powder, so can see no
reason why farmers or their hired help
should not be as careful with the one as
the other.
fear am spinning out my letter
longer than you like but I have one
other subject that desire to put before
the farmers. Henry Swindler, the
sheriff of Dawson county, So. Oak, has
just invented very excellent attach.
ment to be used on the corn planter
which will drop a certain quantity OF
the powder, either dry or moist form,
each time it checks the corn. This is q
grand step in the right direction and is
worthy of full consideration. Mr.
Swiudler will bs glad to explain the
working OF this attachment at any time
and will answer all letters on the sub.

S. S. BATELY.
