Last night the people of the First Pres
b~yterian church rendered their departing
pastor, Rev. J. E. Groendyke and wife a
farewell reception at the home OF Mrs. A..
M. Roberts. Although a stormy night the
house was filled with friends of the popular
preacher and a very enjoyable evening was
spent. He has been here two years and has
made hosts Of friends, and it is with great
reluctance they give him up. The final

Rev. Groendyke leaves with the best wishes
and prayers OF the entire community. This
town is a distinct loser and Creston, Ia,
where he takes charge Of the First Presby-

CITY TO OWN WATER WORKS
sioux Falls Offers Bonds for sale,
Proceeds TO he Used In Com
structinE Plant.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 4~-(Special)
The city council has instructed the city
auditor to at once advertise for sale bonds
to the amount OF $1,000, which are de-
signed for the purpose Of commencing work
on a municipal water works plant.
This action will probably cause a re-
newal Of the fight between the city and the
private water company which at present
holds a franchise for furnishing the people
OF the city with water for fire protection
and domestic purposes. The idea Of the
council in selling the $4,000 worth of
bonds at this time is to have work on the
municipal system commenced, so it can be
completed and ready for operation when
the franchise Of the private water COM
pany expires on April 9, 1904.

Digests

Eat
Dyspepsia Cure

no good. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure not only
relieves the patients sufferings in such
cases but also removes the cause OF suffer
ing. 1t relieves by digesting the patients
food and enabling his system to transform
1t into bone and muscle, blood and brain:
1t cures by allowing the stomach rest until
it is restored to its natural condition.
II the stomach is out Of order not an
organ of the body escapes some correspond
ing arrangement. There are few diseases
which cannot be traced directly to the stom-
ach. II the stomach is weak the body is
weak. II the stomach is strong, the entire
body Is strong.
None of us want to suffer from Indigestion
or dyspepsia but the hurry and nervous
tension OF the times have made them the
commOnest complaints of the generation.
Often we eat too fast, too soon after or too
shortly before violent physical exercise or
severe mental strain. Sometimes we are too
busy to eat at all at the proper time and over
load our stomachs when the opportunity
comes. For awhile the abused organ stands
the stain. Finally 1t collapses.
