TO PREVENT CORN SMUT.
Mitchell Mans Plan for Expert
mcnts This Year.


AS Il result of the corn smut last year an
immense number of cattle die1 in South
Dakota, and all efforts to find a remedy
have proved unavalling. S. S. Bately of
Mitchell, has had considerable experience
in England with smut in wheat aud while
a resident of that country a remedy was
made by him which he treated the seed
grain, and the first season it proved sue
cessful. no smut appearing in the wheat
in the fall. Mr.. Bately sent over to Eng.
land several months ago for the formula,
which he left there when he came to
this country some years ago. He feels
confident that the remedy will work we'll
on the corn and has prepared a quantity
OF it for distribution among the farmers OF
the county. 1t is in the form of a solution
and the grain is saturated with it the day
before it is planted. Tests will be made
on about 1000 acres of corn in Dawson
County this season which will demonstrate
whether it will rave the same effect ON the
corn that it had ON the wheat, and if il
does it will be the means of saving an inn
mense amount of money to the farmers o.
this state in the saving OF their cattle.

Thinks Sentence Too Long.

When Judge Moore of Deadwood sem
fenced Michael Connolly 10 ten years in
the state prison for arson, he made the
statement that he considered the term of
sentence much too long for the crime and
he wished to go on record that two and a
half years should be the limit of the term.
Ten years is the least that can be given
for arson. Judge Moore wishes to have
the man pardoned at the end of two and
a half years, and he and the members
OF the jury that convicted Connolly will
all sign a petition for a pardon. Connolly
has been we'll thought of in Deadwood.
He is believed to have set the fire and cut
the hose while under the influence of
liUuOr.

Land Is quite Desirable.

That portion of the Lower Brule reserva-
ton which has been opened to settlement
which lies in the Pierre land district is
sections 3 to 81 inclusive in township 100,
range ~, and the west half of sections 2,
II, IA, %, 26 and 50, in township 100, range
Is. This lies along the head of Antelope
and Cedar creeks and is in a section where
the securing of a~rtesian water is assured,
as the only well in the range country is
already put down in that section. Last
year most of the hay cut in this part of the
state came from that country, and that of
itself indicates the class of locations that
can be secured.

the DUTY OF moTRERs.

Wat suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect TO
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer,' and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton /; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinlsham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is

The referendum League at u meeting in
Huron recently, decided to invoke tile ini-
tiatlve II referendum on several Of the
le4 alive acts, by which means the new
lay will be submitted to the people at the
nf election. -Four of the new laws were
So ,ted for targets of the referendum.
y referendum has been in vogue for two

opportunity to be testel. There is no
e. es'ion that when the time comes for the

Will have an opportunity to defend the
title of their law before the supreme court,
as there has always been a suspicion i'm
the minds of many that the law would not
stand.
Senator George \. Johnston of Mitchell,
who was in the legislature when the ref
erendum bill was passed two years ago,
and was also a member OF the late legisla-
ture, has been giving the referendum law
some stuly, and while at Pierre looked
into the matter in which the law went
through the legislature. In response to
an inquiry lis to what he thought would be
the probable outcome OF the proposed APP
plication OF the initiative and referendum
to certain measures passed by the late
legislature, he made the following state
ment:
81 firmly believe that the Populists are
up against a losing proposition in their
application of the initiative and referen-
dun. l believe as the law stands now it
acts as a scare, and as soon as it is attempt-
ed to be applied to regulate legislation its
legality will be brought into question, and
when it is you may quote me as saying
that the amendment was not passed in ac-
cordance with the provisions of our state
constitution. Article %, section l, of the
constitution plainly says that all proposed
amendments to the constitution must be
entered upon the journals of each house,
together With the yeas and nays of each
body, and this amendment was never en-
tered upon the journal of the senate"

INDIAN MISSIONARIES STORY.

Little York. Ind, April 2-(Special.)
Twenty-Five years ago, the Rev. G.
II. Thompson left Indiana. For q time
ne preached in Arkansas, afterwards
entering on the regular missionary
work among the Choctaw Indians.
For five years lie lived and labored
among the full bloods of the western
prairies, until on April 4, 1885, having
lost his wife, he left the circuit on
which he had preached so long, and
commenced travelling missionary work
among the Indians of the various
> aribes scattered in the West.
The irregular work involved a great
Zeal of travel over the prairies. The
drinking of so much alkali water,
brought OH Kidney Troubles, which ter
minated in Diabetes.
Finally, while laborlng among the
Greek Indians Mt Wagner, Indian Ter
.itory, this noble man was stricken
down completely. A Chicago specialist
vas summoned. and after a careful
examination, declared that there was
not the slightest chance Of his recoy-
cry. Besides the prescriptions of the
doctors, he tried many other medicines,
but all to no avail. He says:
Il had concluded that my days were
drawing to a close, when I picked up
an Almanac telling of the cures of
Diabetes by the use of Dodd's kidney
Pills. I sent for two boxes. I gained
strength and spirits from the time 1

Range Conditions Good.

The rain and snow which have fallen in
the vicinity of Pierre recently have done
the cattle ranges an immense amount of
good. The weather has been cold at no
time and stock has not suffered in the
least. The snow has not only materially
increased the water supply, but it has
started the grass. The ground was warm
and there has been little or no frost all
winter. The prospect for the early OPEN
ing of the grazing season is better than it
has been for many years.

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstrua.ion-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell. and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating woman's peculiar monthly

The rancilers and cattle owners of the
Black Hills are much encouraged by the
recent heavy snowfall. They were Begin
ming to feel worried over the outlook for
the spring crops. but the snow of the past
few days has frightened up the prospects.
No loss has been sustained to cattle own
ers as the weather has been too mild to
kill the cattle. Two feet of snow fell in
Belle Fourche and vicinity and in the val
ley more snow fell than in the hills. The
snow is melting away very slowly, giving
the ground the full benefit of the moisture.
