A BIG SHOE FACTORY
FROM A SMALL BEGINNING IN 1880
II GROWS TO IMMENSE
PROPORTIONS.
THE i. MAYER BOOT u SHOE co. Of
Milwaukee, Wis, Now DC cupies 8 IL
Acres of Floor Space, and has Capa-
city for Making Six Thousand
Pairs Of Shoes Per DaY.

Just - years ago Mr.. F.. Mayer established
. shoe factory in Milwaukee, and began the
manufacture OF shoes in q modest way. The
working force at that time was small and tho
facilities inadequate, yet it was the foundation
Of what was destined to be one Of the LARGEST
shoe factories in this country. The underlying
business principle was then, as now, to produce
the best shoes possible, at the lowest prices.
frustrated by the fact that shoes bearing the
Mayer trade mark are now sold In every state
ana territory west of the Ohio River. Over 600
mand that has steadily increased as q result OF
the universal satisfaction given by Mayors
ShoeS.
Milwaukee being the home Of the biggest
leather tannerleS In the world, and also the
market for the very best shoe leather known.
gives the Milwaukee manufacturer advantages
In the cost as well as the choice OF leather, that
OUTSIDE manufacturers can not obtain, thus
enabling the Mayer shoe factory to turn out
better shoes at Q less cost than outside com.
petltors.
Something like 40 travelling statesmen are
required to visit merchants in thousands OF
towns ana villages in twenty different states,
The magnitude OF this business can best be ap-
preciated when you take into consideration that.
With the present capacity. 1900 complete pairs OF
shoes can be turned out every working day.
The business is now conducted under the
name OF the +. MAYER Boot q Shoe Co, by the
three sons OF Mr.. F. Mayer, who succeeded him
In tho business. AS Mayors shoes are being
1borally advertised, the further growth OF the
company Is sure to be rapid.

Report Of South Dakota's Dairy Com.
mission Issued.
Pierre. s. D., Nov. 19.-The report Of
State Dairy Commissioner Sherwood
has been issued and shows that at the
present time there are 156 licensed
creameries and 10 licensed cheese
factories In operation in this state.
The report places the output of cream
cry butter for the year at 7,323668
pounds, for which the patrons of the
creameries received an average price
of II IL cents per pound, or an amount
in total exceeding $4,000, 900 for the
milk. He has no figures at hand to
show the amount of dairy butter pro-
duced by the use of separators on
farms, but estimates the value of this
to be at least equal to that of the
creameries, and gives the value Of
butter sold in the state at 5 1900, 900
for the year.

Members Of Board Of Managers and
Architect kimbaIi View the Site.
Capt. H. E. Palmer, one of the board
of managers of national soldiers
home, who has the immediate super
vision of the planning for the national
s%anatorium, was at Hot, Springs, in
company with Thomas r. Kimball Of
Omaha, the architect, who designed the
beautiful Burlington station at Omaha
and most of the beautiful buildings at
the Trans-M Mississippi exposition, and
is the architect-in-chief of the Worlds
Fair buildings at St. Louis. Mr.. KIM
ball came to look over the ground, to
prepare his designs for the national
sanatorium. The gentlemen were also
accompanied by Maj. A. B. Hull, chief
surgeon of the Leavenworth national
home, who came to advise as to the
sanitary arrangements of the sanato-
rum.
They selected the exact locations for
the buildings, and Mr. Kimball will i'm
mediately prepare his designs. They
are enthusiastic over the charming To-
oation, and think that nc spot could be
more delightful of healthful.
The buildings will be of Spanish de-
sign. The first one will accommodate
about 500 veterans. There will be an
oval hallway attached to the main
Office building, this hallway forming an
open court or plazeta. There will be
six wards attached to the Railways,
each being separate from the other.
Upon the extreme end of the plazeta
I'LL - %h@ 1x;&ohar Within tho n1a10.
ia there will be a fountain of warm
water, while surrounding the fountain
there will be beds of flowers and plants
with seats for the veterans to lounge
about and make themselves comfort
able, and where, also, the band may go
for an occasional entertainment. Be-
sides this building there will be the
various buildings for the Offices, a fine
band stand, a chapel, a large power
plant for supplying light and water,
and in all, before the plans are COM
pleted, there will be twenty or twenty
five buildings, costing from $685. 900 to
500, 900 apiece.
Immediately after the legislature
meets, in January, and passes a bill re-
linquishing all Jurisdiction and gov
eminent upon the lands that will be
used in connection with the national
sanatorium, the board of managers will
be prepared to begin active operations.
They will then advertise for bids for
the gradings and construction and all
other work contemplated for next year.
Much larger appropriations must be
made Immediately, and the national
board will ask congress to make them
in the deficiency appropriation bill. 1t
is thought by Capt. Palmer that the
sanatorium will be ready for use BY
next October. The national board will
meet in New York Dec. 8, when the
plans will be definitely approved.

Working People Interested.

wuertsburg, Wis.,, Nov. 17th.-The
working men and women of this dis
trict are greatly interested in the case
Of Mary Kowsky, who. in an interview,
says:
II have almost all my life been a suf-
ferer from Backache, and two years
ago I caught cold on my Kidneys, and
the agonies that followed were almost
unbearable.
II consulted different doctors, but
the relief they gave me was only tenn
porary. The terrible pains always re-
turned, and my suffering tempted me
to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. They did
me good almost from the start, till
now, after taking three boxes. l am al
most completely cured.
II want all hardworking people to
know this, for, with the help Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, l don't mea to suffer
any more B~ackache."

RAILROAD CHANGES.
Northwestern Doing More Business at
WATERFOWL.

WatertoWn.
A change has been made on the
Northwestern road whereby the Water
town branch has been made the main
line, Heretofore passengers going
East must change at Brookings to the
train from Huron, and in coming West
passengers from that part Of the coun-
try must changes cars at Brookings,
and the Twin City train would 60 on to
Huron and Pierre. 1t Is altogether diff
ferent now, and a man taking passage
from Watertown does not have to
change cars until he arrives at the
Twin Cities; but passengers from HUI
ron, Pierre and intermediate points
must change at Brookings, and the
same way on the return trip.
The sleeper has always gone over
the Watertown branch to Redfield, but
heretofore it had to be taken off the
Pierre train at Brookings and trans
ferred to the Watertown train. Now
it will come directly on through Brook
ings and Watertown to Redfeld, and
the time consumed in transfer will be
saved, and the early morning train on
the Northwestern will be more nearly
on time. The mail car from Minneap-
oils will now come ove this line, and
mail will have to be transferred at
Brookings for Pierre, instead of for
Watertown.

ing arrested he was found asleep in

During the year ending June 30, '92,
the Woonsocket creamery paid an av-

Rod the Forestburg creamery paid an
average of IS cents, and a total of $12,-
1894. Letcher paid an average of 76
cents and a total of $22,212.87.
In 1895 the number of COWS in San
born county was 1888; to-day it is
&, 444, The number in the state has
Increased from $4,000 to $4,000.
Sanborn county has five creameries
with three skimming stations.
The figures as to the state will be
greatly increased in the next five years.
The country west Of the Missouri will
be the dairy season five years hence.
This summer nearly 5000 claims have
been filed OF in Lyman and Stanley
counties, and during the next year
over 5000 more will be taken. All Of
this land will be devoted chiefly to
dairying in a short time, and in 1910
the census of the United States will
show nearly, If not altogether, 1,00O,-
900 cows in South Dakota. The land
in Butte county. which county is as
large as nearly all New England, is
fine p~asturage, and the great Chey-
.enne reservation, where the Indians
have nearly all taken allotments, will
be open for settlement in less than
ten years, and then the COW will be IN

ARMED CITIZENS IN SQUADS ARE
SEARCHING FOR THE
HUGGER.
BELIEVED 70 Be A DEGENERATE
TWO OF THE VICTIMS SUSTAIN
INJURIES At HIS
HANDS.

Racine, Wis, Nov. 19.-Armed citl-
zens in squads of from two to half a
dozen are parading the streets nightly
in the search for a "hugger' who, like
his Boston prototype, assaults unpro-
tected young women and girls.
Within the past week five women
are known to have been confronted by
him, and two of them sustained seri-
GUS injuries at his hands. The male
relatives and friends of those who
have been attacked or ~insulted are
up in arms and an active search for
the criminal is in progress. The list
of victims is as follows:
Mary Sorensen, aged sixteen; Ath-
ledin Birdsall, aged ten; Josephine
Petersen, Lettie Brown of Milwaukee,
and an unknown woman.
Miss Sorensen is suffering with a
swollen ear and bruise ed neck as a re-
suit of her experience. She started
from her home on Cliff avenu to visit
a friend. Not far from home she no
ticed a man following her. He seized
her and held her tight, attempting to
place his hand on her mouth and pre-
vent her from screaming. In her
struggle to free herself from his grasp
her cal was injured and neck bruised.
The assailant became frightened and
ran, but before going

tie Athledin Birdsall, the pretty ten
year-old daughter of r. r. Birdsall, a
prominent contractor, left her home to
go to a store to buy some milk. AS
she was about to enter the store a
strange man lifted her in his arms and
started away with her. The child
struggled and cried, attracting the at
tention Of an unknown woman, who
approached and demanded to know
what he was doing with the child. He
pretended to be the little ones father,
but the girl insisted that he was not,
and the woman called for help. The
man dropped the girl and disappeared
in the darkness.
In each case the description of the
man given by the ome is the same.
He is nearly six feet tall, well proper
toned, brownish mustachs, wore a
brown overcoat and had a fedora hat.
He was unusually well dressed, and
one of the victims described him as a
dude. He is believed to be a swell de-
generate, and it Is feared the assaults
