S. DAKOTA CORN
AT ST. LOUIS
STATES SUCCESS WITH THE CE-
REAL TO BE EMPHASIZED.
Eyes of Doubling Thomases from the
East to Be Opened When the States
Display Is Ready-What the Com
MISSIONS Representative, III. G.
Warner, Is Doing.
Special to The Journal.

Mitchell, S. d., Dec. 1S.-The work of Sc
curing the agricultural exhibits for the st.
Louis exposition is being carried forward
by H. c. Warner of Woonsocket, who was
appointed to manage this important fea-
ture. He has been in the southern part Of
the state to arrange for the gathering Of
corn, wheat oats, etc., which will go to
make up the exhibit. He is making a
special effort to secure some Of the best
corn grown in the state as he desires to
make that one of the great features Of the
exhibit, to prove to eastern people that
South Dakota is not behind it's eastern
competitors.
Mr.. Warner says it will take about three
carloads of products to supply the needs at
st. Louis. He has one carload of material
stored in the corn palace in this city, and
as fast as the rest is gathered it will be
shipped to Mitchell and packed and re-
shipped to St. Louis. The greater share
of the agricultural products will, of
course, be displayed in the agricultural
building, where they will enter in COM
petition with other states.
| It will require about a carload Of ma
terial for decorating the interior Of the
building. Mr.. Warner Is careful in his
selection of grain to secure only the best,
but as there is plenty Of it he will have no
trouble to make a fine showing.
| A coroner's inquest was held over the
remains of Bert w. Martin to-day as the
result of his sudden death yesterday. The
| jury brought in verdict of death by
heart failure. He took a small dose of
choloroform at the hands of Drs. King
and Bower for the purpose of submitting
| to a surgical operation. He had inhaled
but very little Of the anesthetic when he
sat up and said that it was hurting his
eyes. In reply to a question by the ply
sicians he said he had taken little al
cohoic stimulant in the morning. With
those words he fell back dead.
| Commencing the first of the year three
new rural routes will be established out OF
Parkston, going north, east and west, and
covering a well populated part of the
county. . .t.s.
| Without any lighting facilities fol
streets, Woonsocket is likely to have two
companies struggling for business mex,
year. A gas company and an electric light
company have applications before the city
council for franchises. The companies are
made up Of local men.

MONTANA

THIS ONE WILL RECLAIM SOME
$4,000 ACRES.
Ditch Fifteen Miles in Length and
Piercing Small Mountain Will Be
Constructed-Scheme Is the Largest

SpeciaI to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
Billings, Mont, Dec. 1S.--The first SHOW
elful Of dirt was turned yesterday after
noon on the Huntley flats irrigation canal
project, which has for it's purpose the
reclamation Of 10000 acres of land. The
scheme is the most extensive of any or
which work has actually started
John Schram, a Seattle capitalist, is at
the head of the project, and associated
with him are several Washington and
Portland men. Local capital is also in
terested.
An immense canal about fifteen miles in
length and piercing a small mountain will
be constructed at cost Of over 100000
The Billings Land and Irrigation COM
pany has been organized to prosecute the
work. Schram and his associates have
constructed several large canals in Yak
ina and Wenatchee counties, Washington.
Minneapolis Men Interested.
Suit was filed to-day in the district
court Of Yellowstone county in which the
Billings Realty company is the plaintiff
and the Minnesota and Montana Land
company defendant. The plaintiff COM
pany was organized by the Billings family
of New York, and originally owned the
townsite of Billings and much adjoining
land. Minneapolis men are interested in
the defendant company.
The plaintiff alleges that the land COM
pany constructed an immense irrigation
canal prior to 1900 and that the overflow
from the canal practically ruined a body
Of forty acres of land belonging to the
plaintiff. Judgment for $4,000 is de-
manded. :

RICH MEN ARE
NOT ALL HAPPY.
Crossus, King of Lydia, Had Troubles
Of His Own, and There Are
Others

Croesus, the John D. Rockefeller Of
the kingdom of Lydia, was very we'll
to do in worldly goods and chattels.
"As rich as Croesus'' is saying about
$500 years old. He had his troubles,
however, and some Of them were full
grown. He was taken captive once
by Cyrus and only saved himself from
being burned alive by quoting a. say
ing Of Solon, the Sage. He finally had
to flee his kingdom for parts un-
known.
Many Of the rich mans troubles to-
day come from high living and could
be avoided. They are brought on by
eating all kinds Of rich, heavy foods
at irregular times, lack of proper ex-
ercise, undue mental strain, unnatur-
al stimulants, etc, and are commonly
known as indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach. They are serious
troubles all right, but not only can
they be avoided but can also be cured,
and that without loss of time or proper
food and nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
certain relief Of dyspeptics, rich and
poor alike. There is no such thing as
stopping their onward progress now.
A great nation has placed its stamp Of
approval upon their noble work. The
thousands and thousands Of cures
they have effected and the happiness
resulting therefrom have made their
name a household word throughout
the land.
The story of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets can be told in a word. They
actually do the work that the weak
and wasted stomach is unable to do
and allow it to recuperate and regain
it's strength. They contain all the es-
sential properties that the gastric
juice and other digestive fluids do,
and they digest the food just as a
sound and we'll stomach would. They
relieve the stomach just as one rested
and refreshed workman relieves the
one on duty that is tired and worn,
and Nature does her own work of
restoration. 1t is a simple, natural
process that child can understand.
You can eat all you want without fear
of results. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are for sale by all druggists at SO
cents a box. Druggists all know bet
| ter than to try to get along without
them, as the demand for them is great
J and universal.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 1s.-Maryville, in
Dodge county, wants the duel between
Editor Won Schleinitz and DR.. Gustav
Hoffman,.
= It is an exclusively German commun
ity, and a German society there tele-
graphed an offer last night to Won Schlei-
nitz guaranteeing $1,000 to the widow and
orphans of the victim If he would have
the duel fought in that town, and offer
ing to furnish park for the combat and
give a guarantee against any interference
by the authorities. Dueling in Wiscon-
sin Is an indictable offense. Even the
sending of a challenge to fight is punish
able by Imprisonment in the state peni-
tentiary.
The principals in the sensational epi-
sode have been subpoenaed to appear be-
fore the grand jury to tell the circum-
stances of the challenge. Mr.. Won Schlei-
nitz was served with papers yesterday,
and DR.. John Alexander, a member of the
staff Of the Gernania, has also been called
to testify as to his connection with the
affair. .....

mitted the challenge to Mr.. Won Schleinitz
from DR.. Hoffman,, whose solicitude for
Marguerite, Ruehmkorf, German ac-
tress, led to the challenge. ..

LIVINGSTON, MONT.-Sheriff Albert Robert

Duluth, Mimi, Dec. 1S.--There is uncer-
tainty among lake ore interests as to the
future, Possibly there has been no, year
for a long time in which the future was
so mixed. Railroads have no approach to
any schedule to guide them for the COM
ing shipping season, and what mines are
busy have no knowledge as to what ton
nages will be required from them.
This being the case there is little to be
said yet on prices for 1904
The feeling was general some time ago
among members Of the Bessemer. associa-
ton that beSsemer ore was higher than it
could stay and that the differential
against MesabaS and non -bessemere was
TOO great. 1t was then thought that bes-
semers alone might come down. Now all
classes are seen to be high in comparison
with pig. 1t may be some time before
prices for 1904 are arranged.
Vessel rates will suffer There are too
many ships on the lakes Costs of opera
tion will be under last year and there will
be less stuff to carry. Northwestern
