CATARRHAL NERVOUSNESS.
A Condition Known as Systemic Catarrl...A Prominent
 Doctor Cured by Peruna.

When the nerves are paralyzed or weakened this contractile power of the blood vessels is wholly or partly destroyed.
 This produces congestion, especially of the mucous membrane lining the various organs of the body.
 When 1t occurs it produces the same condition-chronic catarrh.
 The symptoms of catarrhal nervous ness are: A foreboding of calamity, a sense of something awful about ts happen, twitching of the eyelids, mov- ing brown specks before the eyes, and metallic ringing of the ears, sour stom. ach after eating, with belching of gas, a feeling of great weight in the stom- ach, morbid fear of leaving home, a constant desire to talk of symptoms, chils and hot flashes, hands and feet usually cold and clammy, general tend ency to coldness and dryness of the skin of the whole body, neuralgia headache, nervous chills, hysterla. sinking and faint spells, distressing palpitation of the heart, defective eye sight, total inability to read, write or do any business, urine abundant with. out color, loss of flesh, sleeplessness and sexual excitability. Some of these symptoms are present in every case.

Dr. G. B. Grove, a physician and a very influential man in Alabama, and Chairman of the Populist State Com mittee, in a recent letter to Dr. Hart man of Columbus, Ohio, says:
 Washington, D. 0. "Peruna is most valuable medicine. It affords me unlimited pleasure to testify to the merits of your remedy as a catarrh cure 1 have used it as such and find it of very great bene- fit. when my system is run down. heartily recommend Peruna to all whose nervous systems are deranged.' . Yours truly,
 G. B. GROVE, M. D. The nervous system is the source of all our bodily powers, mental or physi- cal
 The brain and spinal cord generate the power and the nerve flores convey the power to every part of the body. It is the nerves that give the heart power to beat; it is the nerves that give the arteries the power to contrac. and thus regulate the flow of blood through them.
 Each artery is provided with an elas- tic or muscular coat, which is capable of contracting or expanding so as to permit more or less blood to pass through, according to the needs of the body.

 In letter from Emsley, South Da- kota, Mir Adam Doering writes as fol- lows:
 For about three years I was af- f1icted with sleeplessness, lack of ap- petite and felt at all times feverish and nervous There would be ringing in my ears and I got so weak finally that could not attend to my farm work
 During this time three physicians treated me; they did not help me and gave me no hope of recovery. I was positive of dying soon, when my at tention was called to Peruna. I tried the medicine without much expecta- tion of being benefited by it. But soon it's effects began to show. I could sleep, my appetite returned. I became stronger mentally and my nervous trembling ceased. used about twenty bottles in year and at the end of that time I was another man. My health was and is now more robust than fr has been for many years.

\ MERICA is the land of
 neryous women The


 great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffering from some form of female disease. By far the greatest number of female troubles are caused directly by catarrh. They are catarrh of the organ which is af- fected. These women despair of re- covery. Female trouble is so common, so prevalent, that they accept it as al- most inevitable. The greatest obstacle ir the way of recovery is that they do not understand that it is catarrh which is the source of their illness. In female complaint, ninety-nine cases out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh. Pe- runa cures wherever located.

men of America, writes from Aurora H., Beacon office, as follows:
 T endorse Peruna because have found by personal experience that it is not common patent medicine, but scientifically prepared medicine which simply cures catarrh and cleanses the blood of it's impurities, keeping the system in fine, healthy condition.
 T consider it as rather a carefully prepared physicians prescription, and have never found any which acts as promptly and permanently as Peruna. It deserves the highest praise and I know that those who have tried it have perfect faith in it."-C. F. Jen- kins.

 Any one can escape entirely the i'll effects of spring weather, and instead of dragging drearily through weeks of bad feeling and perhaps acquiring a fatal disease can find themselves in as excellent spirits and health as at any other time of the year.
 Get bottle of Peruna when the first languid feelings make themselves ap- parent in the spring. Take it accord ing to the direction on the bottle Con- tinue this treatment through the first months of spring. This course of treat ment is not experiment; it is as posi- tive in its results as any fact of sci ence can be.

In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Congressman Botkin says:

iege.
The regents committee on classic
cation and course of study, with Pres
ident Chalmers as chairman, held a
meeting at the agricultural college
and arranged for printing the new cat
alogue. Among the changes made In
the course Of study was one provid-
ing for a higher standard of students
entering the commercial course.
Hereafter students entering that
course will have to possess the same
qualifications as those entering the
freshman class. This is q movement
in the right direction and will greatly
strengthen the commercial course, as
a graduate from this course under the
new standard will be equipped with a
fair scholarship as well as a technical
training in stenography and typewrit-
ing.
This committee Is wholly made up
from members Of the faculty who are
at the head of departments in the In
dustrial lines and was created by the
regents of education about a year ago,
on motion of Regent Slocum, in the
belief that such members Of the fac
ulty having in charge the work OF
classifying students would be more
likely to classify them In the agricul-
tural and other industrial courses than
would be professors at the heads OF
other departments.
President Chalmers, by action OF the
regents, is chairman OF the committee,
and Prof. Wilson, as vice president,
will hereafter act as vice president OF
the college in the absence of the pres
ident.

The weather during the week was

quent showers. In the aggregate the
rainfall was generous over nearly all
of the state, and heavy in some c
lions. There was some local damage
by hail in a few counties.
The rains were especially beneficial
in the northern counties which had
been affected by the preceding drouth,
and have caused marked improvement
in the condition of all crops in that
section.
Wheat, oats and spelt are heading
generally; barley, except the latest, is
generally filling well; rye is ripening,
and some is being harvested in the
southeastern counties; rye is general
ly a good crop. The condition OF
wheat, oats and barley is generally
good and promising. except where hurt
by the preceding drouth in some north
ern counties, where it is poor to fair,
but improving. In the southeastern
counties some wheat and much barley
ard cats are rank IN growth AID lodg-
irg of considerable oats ard barley is
reported. There is also some little
rust on small grains reported, but as
vet no evident damage has resulted
taerefrom.
Corn has generally made very good
progress, but wet weather retarded
cultivation, and as a result some
southeastern fields are weedy, espe-
cially on low lands. The crop is still
backward on the whole. In some ex-
IRENE southeastern fields water is
standing.
Flax has lone well generally; the
early sown is in blossom.
Potatoes have grown well and are
generally very promising; new native
potatoes are in use in some southeast
ern localities.
Pastures and hay grass have been
much improved. The hay outlook is
only fair in some northern counties;
elsewhere generally good. Grass on
the stock ranges is generally reported
as in good condition. Millet and al
falfa are doing very well. Haying has
been In progress In the southeastern
counties when the weather was favor
able, but was retarded by the rains.
The outlook Tor wild fruits is good
along and west Of the Missouri river;
for tame plums fair to good, and for
apples fair; strawberries have yielded
very well.

Iher is now certain assurance that
Douglas county will harvest a record
breaking crop this year. Last winter
the country was visited by an excep-
tionally heavy fall of snow which pre-
vented the ground freezing to any
great extent. The snow lasted until
March and V e into April, and in
melting saturated the ground with
moisture. Then the weather cleared
on just right to give the farmers a
chance to work the ground and get in
their crops. During April and May,
as well as June, a rain has come every
time 1t was needed, and neither too
soon nor too heavy. There has not
been one week since the crops were
planted that weather conditions could
have been more favorable for their
growth, except perhaps at times for
corn, but this is a natural condition
here and the good corn weather is
ture here in six weeks and farmers
say that If corn is eight or ten inches
high by the Fourth there is every pros.
pect Of a good crop, and there is lots
OF corn here that is now almost waist
high.
Even the most pessimistic and ex.
acting farmer is compelled to smile
as he sees his great fields of corn,
wheat, oats, rye and other grains in
the most perfect condition. standing
as thick as it can grow, with the very
best of soil under it and watered by
just the right amount Of moisture.

those who are inclined to be looking
for trouble-say that the crops as a
whole were never better at this time
of the year, and there is nothing To
hinder oats making 100 bushels to the
acre and wheat a good 40. To people
who would not believe this statement
the fields are here to prove it, and this
is due to the fact that hardly another
county in South Dakota has been Sc

ton will harvest the biggest crop ever
known in its history, not excerting the
heavy yields of grain in the early

ELEVATOR BURNED.
Fire at Howard Creates Considerable
Loss.

Fire at Howard Creates Considerable
Loss.
M. j. Winchell's grain elevator and
warehouse at Howard burned the 9TH
err morning. The fire alarm was sound
ed at $50, but the fire had gained
such Roadway that II was impossible
to save anything. Even the coal house
belonging to the elevator was demol-
ished and removed by the hook and
ladder company to save the Boornan
elevator. Fortunately there was no
wind to spread the fire, only a gentle
breeze that blew away from Boor-
ans elevator. There was about two
cars Of wheat and some barley in the
the elevator to be loaded In the morn
ing. The car burned. 1t is thought
the fire was started by tramps, as
there were several Of them about
town. I: will be a wise thing for that
class of gentry to steer clear OF How
ard in the future.
The elevator and warehouse, it Is
said, were insured for $4,000, which
was less than half their value. Ihe
grain was also insured. The hose,
when attached to a hydrant of the wa
ter main, burst In two sections and
100 feet had to be taken out, which
made the hose that much too short to
do any effective work on the fire.
With good hose our waterworks will
be all right in subduing fires.
