"The old Cripple Creekers are

Kelman. Of Bourne, who returned
yesterday from the Mount Rastus
district. He was accompanied by

REGENTS MEET
Normal Dormitoyy accepted
and Furnishing Contracts
Let

The South Dakota Board of Regents
were in session Thursday, in this
city. The occasion of their meeting
here WIS to inspect the new dormi-
tory, although considerable business
was disposed of in relation to other
of the state educational institutions.
All members of the board were pres
ent except A. w. Burt, of Huron The
bids to supply furniture for the new
dormitory put in by the Pioneer Fur
niture Company and by Andy Gerup
were each accepted in part, so that
these two Aberdeen houses supply
the furniture. D.. G. Gallett's bid on
cutlery and silver ware was accepted
as was that of the Barnes Crockery
Co., for ware in their line.
1t reflects much credit on the enter
prise or these Aberdeen merchants
that in competition with numerous
houses in the larger cities, in some
instances as far away as Kansas City
they should be able to furnish these
goods to the state on the most salts
factory terms offered.
The regents were well pleased witt
the manner in which the work of con
structing the new dormitory has beer
done. One of them said the plaster
ing was the best he had yet seen don
In any state institution.

Scientific Training in America.

From the Electrical World and En-
gineer: In a very interesting lecture
delivered n London recently on Lord
Bacon. Mr.. Sidney Lee expressed doubt
whether a temple Of science, such as
Bacon imagined in The New Atlantis"
would ever come into existence. At
present h portents were, Mr.. Lee
feared. not favorable for its emergence
In England. 1t seemed more likely to
come first to birth in Germany or In
America, where things Of the mind re-
ceived from the general public a con-
%stderation which was denied them in
England. The experience OF a recent
visit to America had shown Mr.. Lee
that there was nothing in his own land
to compare with the widespread eager
ness among the youth Of the United
States to enjoy academic scientific
training. It was difficult for them at
home. too. to realize even dimly the
munificent readiness with which Ameri-
can legislatures responded to demands
made on their to supply the
American people with fit endowment
and equipment Of research.

Aname that starts terror in the heart of every

national catarrhfemedy. Without the slight

ton that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is a ~favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that so great and famous a man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

Illegal Land Fencing.


Each of the ten indictments in the
land fencing cases contains three.
counts. and all are similarly drawn.
The illegal fencing OF these lands.
which are located in Cherry, Custer and
other large counties In western Me-
braska, was brought to the attention Of
the interior department several months
ago. A report made by special agents
is said to nave shown 100 instances
where government land had been
fenced. About Ton ranchmen were said
to have fenced about 6.000.00 0 acres.
Among the largest of these was that Of
the Nebraska Land and Feeding
company. Of which Bartlett
Richards was president. His range 4
tends over more than 200. 900 acres, and
Is about loo miles long. Richards is
said to be the largest. individual cat
tie breeder and wner in the world. and
is rated as a man Of immense wealth.
During the summer he has resided o N

the winter at Santa Barbara, CAL,

Six other ranchmen were indicted for

The law under which the indictments
were drawn provides a penalty Of not

of the people. The natural timidity which
so many people have felt about giving en-
dorsements to any remedy is giving way.
Gratitude and a desire to help others has
inspired thousands of people to give public
testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that so many men of national
ing to give unqualified and public endorse
ments to a proprietary remedy. No amount
of advertising could have accomplished such
a result. Peruna has won on its own
merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever
