A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE.
About "RIood Purlflers" and 'Tonlca."

About "BIood Purifiers" and "Tonics."
 Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve and tissue in the body can be renewed in but one way. and that is, from whole some food properly digested There is no other way and the idea that a medi- cine in itself can purify the blood or sup ply new tissues and strong nerves Is ridiculous and on par with the fol- de-rol that dyspepsia or indigestion Is germ disease or that other faiiacy. that a weak stomach which refuses to digest food can be made to do so by irritating and infiaming the bowels by pills and cathartics.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure indi- gestion, sour stomach. gas and bloating after meals, because they furnish the digestive principles which weak stom- achs lack and unless the deficiency of pepsin and diastase is supplied 1t is use less to attempt to cure stomach trouble by the use of "tonics.' pills and "ca- thartics" which have absolutely no diges- tive power. and their only effect is to give a temporary stimulation.
 One grain of the active principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs and similar foods and experiments have shown that they will do this in a glass bottle at proper temperature, but of course are much more effective in the stomach.
 There is probably no remedy so uni- versally used as Stuart's Tablts because 1t is not only the sick and ailing but well people who use them at every meal to insure perfect digestion and assimila- tion of the food.
 People who enjoy fair health take Stu arts Tablets as regularly as they take their meals. because they want to keep we'll prevention is better than cure and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they prevent indigestion and they remove 1t where it exists. The regular use of one or two of them after meals will demon strate their merit and efficiency better than any other argument.

LARGEST BUFFALO HERD
In the World, Located in Stanley
County, South Dakota.

The only buffalo herd is located In
Stanley county. South Dakota. accord
ing to the Fort Pierre correspondent OF
the Minneapolis Tribune. This herd
is owned by James W. Philip at Fort
Pierre. 1t is known as the Dupree
herd. There are seventy-five OF these
fine creatures, and they are confined
in 1,0O0-acre pasture eight miles
north Of that city. The pasture Is so
constructed as to Withstand great
deal of resistance-the posts being set
very near together and very deep in
the ground. and is almost twice the
hei ght of an ordinary fence. Within
this pasture is smaller enclosure
where the hero can be penned, thus
affording visitors better opportunity
of observation. A short distance from
this enclosure is the commodious ranch
where the keepers reside, ana hun
dreds of tons of hay are kept con-
stantly on hand. The original of this
herd were five calves captured by the
Dupree family in 1852 while on a
buffalo hunt on the Little Missouri
river. The captives that in time
were to represent an immense fortune
were hauled in an ordinary wagon
| to the Dupree home on the Cheyenne
river, about twenty miles below where
the little town of Leslie is now
located. They were close herded for
time and then permitted to range
at will as in their natural state. They
increased steadily until they reached
almost the present number, when,
about year and half ago, the en-
tire herd was purchased by Mr. Philip
from Dupree estate ana moved to mis-
pasture near Fort Pierre on the Mis-
souri, river. II is the intention OF
Mr.. Philip to take This remnant of the
great herds of the northwest to the
exposition at st. Louis in 1904, and II
the constant streams of visitors to the
pasture is an indication it will prove
to be one Of the chief attractions
I there.

FAMOUS OLD HAT.
Has Travelled Thousands Upon
Thousands of Miles.

The famous old silk hat, which has
travelled over the larger part OF the
continent for years, arrived in Nash.
VILE Thursday. 1t came by way OF
the Southern Express Company. and
after being looked upon by hundreds
of the curious will again be sent on
its endless journey. The old hat has
become the ward of the great express
companies of the United States and
Canada, and attached to it are scores
of tags of every large express com
pany of the two countries, showing
that it has journeyed thousands upon
thousands of miles.
The old hat is becoming fragile
and tattered. and just how much
longer its itinerary will last is a
question for speculation. The mys-
terry of how the old hat etarted on
it's weary travels is not easily ex-
planned, but since it has been subject
of numerous newspaper articles, fur
nishing an interesting theme for YER
satile writer's, it will probably con-
tune for some time to come. There
is now no desire on the part of the
express men to desert the old hat.

LOWER RATE OF POSTAGE
Two Cent Rate Between America
England, France and Germany.

Two Cent Rate Between America,
England, France and Germany.
Postmaster General Payne's annu-
al report will be a notable document.
It will mark long stride in ad-
vance in the direction of popularizing
the postal service. 1t will be opti-
mistic in tone and will show from
statistics that every reduction OF
rates and increase In weight, al
though temporarily producing de-
ficiency, has ultimately resulted In
such volume Of business that dehci-
encies have been overcome. The
most important recommendation will
be two cent postal rate between the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Germany. The Postmaster General
believes that this is entirely feasible.
He has talked with the representa-
tives of foeign commercial bodies now
in this country ana has learned that
all of them favor such reduction.
