Neutrality-suspicious..

Ole Lien, a hard working farmer,
who lives in the southwest corner oi
Canton township, had the misfortune
to suffer severe loss last Friday, AT
noon, during the storm which was
severe ont that way. A bolt Of lightn.
ing struck his barn setting it on fire.
The barn and 8 tons Of hay, 700 bushels
Of wheat, 800 bushels of oats. two
horses, corn crib and some corn and
and COW shed were consumed. The
horses were not killed by the lightning
but were stunned and knocked down
and could not be removed from the
blazing pile. His peighbors responded
nobly but could do little in the face of
the gale blowing at the time. Mr..
Liens loss comes hard at this time, be-
cause he had purchased his farm and
was getting ready to build new house
and was going to have all insured as
soon as the new house was finished.
The lightning bolt brought temporary
ruin, but We learn that his neighbors
are going to help him in q financial
way to get on his feet again. As Sc
curity and safeguard against total
loss, insurance should be carried by
every farmer in the country.

Miss Anderson at Parker.

Parker Leader:-The music loving
people of Parker are greatly indebted
to Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Stevens for the
Musicale" given at the Baptist church
last Tuesday evening. It was listened
to by an apppreciative audience. The
house was we'll filled in spite Of the
cantankerous weather. The reappear.
ance of Miss Anderson, of Canton, to
our city, was greeted with hearty
applause. Her technical skill is with
grandeur and power. Miss Thompson,
of Sioux Falls, who assisted in the
evenings entertainment, has full rich
contralto voice of wide range. The
sonorous vibratory sounds are simply
charming. Her pose was exceptionally
attractive, as was also Miss Anderson's
appearance. Each lady responded gen.
erously to 1.-THE encores. and all music
rendered was Of q high grade. Should
they ever return to give another must.
cal program they will be most heartily
received. South Dakota may we'll be
proud of her products, for both these
artists have received their fine educa-
ton in this rich enterprising young
state.

A WOMAN, TO BE PRETTY.
Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy Hair,
No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of a female face,
the sweetest smile of female mouth,
loses something if the head is crowned
with scant hair. Scant and falling hair
it is now known, is caused by parasite
that burrows into the scalp to the root
of the hair, where it saps the vitality.
The little white scales the germ throws
up in burrowing are called dandruff.
To cure dandruf permanently, then to
stop falling hair, that germ must be
killed. Noid's "Antiseptic Dandruff
Cure and Hair Tonic" the newest re-
suit of the chemical labratory, destroys
the dandruff germ and of course stops
the falling hair and cures badness.
When you kill the germ you can't have
dandruff or thin hair

for the physician to get his patients to

hygiene or diet to the smallest extent;
he has but one resort left, namely, the
drug treatment" When medicines
are used for chronic constipation, the

mans Office in the Rookery block
Friday night and it was voted to
send the executive committee and
IL members, total of 81, to con-
fer with the delegation on the en-

state to make charters for cities
of the first class. 1t was stated
that several states have such q
law In force.
The city council which will work
on new charter will be met by

POLICE ARREST
INDIAN DRUNKS.

Moses Lot. grandson of old Chief
Lot, and Jim Hays, two Spokane
reservation policemen, came to the
city yesterday to round up any bad
Indians whom they might find
drunk. They encountered two such,
but, instead of exercising their au-
thority, the policemen fell into the
tolls of liquor first and Of the city
police latterly with their fellow
tribesmen.
The entire bunch were hustled
into the patrol wagon and taken to
jail. Major Anderson will probably
send in other reservation guardians.
This is five Indians who are now in
the Jail. Louie Peone is also locked
up on charge of running off with
another Indians sQuaw.
