New Cure for lame Back

Rutledge, Mimi, Feb. 16th.-Mr. z
G. Getchell of this place relates a
happy experience which will be read
with interest by those who have a
similar trouble.
Ii appears that last winter Mr.. Get
chell was seized with a lameness and
soreness in his back which grew worse
and worse till at last it became very
bad and made it very difficult for him
to get about at all.
After a time he heard of new rem
edy for backache which some of his
friends and neighbors said had cured
them, and he determined to try 1t. The
name Of the remedy is Dodds Kidney
Pills and Mr.. Getchell has proven that
it is a sure cure. He says:
IL used two boxes of Dodds Kidney
Pills according to directions, and my
lame back was entirely cured and am
all o. K again. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are as good as represented"
This remedy is very popular here,
and has worked some remarkable
cures of Backache and Kidney Trou.

ing the first attention of the mining
fraternity, owing to important discov-
cries of gold ore made during the last
few months.
The region Is southeast Of the great
Homestake mine and directly on the
course OF the series of giant assure
veins that have given the Homestake
hrst place among the worlds gold pro-
ducers.
II was in this vicinity that a Fin.
lander, Henry Hakey. and his part
ners, woodchoppers for the Home
stake, made a discovery OF ore a few
weeks ago so rich in free gold that 1t
could be seen in its metallic form on
many Of the samples. Hakey worked
himself to death in his elation, refus-
ing food and rest so long that nature
could no longer respond. His partners
are still at work on the property. They
have ascertained that what Hakey first
found was only slide from the vein
itself, and that he had only accom-
plished small part of the exploration.
They have received several liberal Of
fers for the ground, but have declined.

of Range on the Rosebud Reserve.
Several stockmen from the range
country forty miles west Of Bonesteel
were in that city recently purchasing
supplies. and report that cattle are
arshing in their locality by the hun
dreds. Ham Bros. found forty-two
head of big steers piled up in one can
yon and estimate their loss alone will
be about 40 per cent.
Arthur Grouse, another stockman
living in Trip county. has lost over
300 steers out of bunch of 500.
The deep snow begins about thirty
miles west of bonesteel and the en-
tire range for 100 miles west of that
point is covered with snow to a depth
of two feet, making 1t impossible for
stock to secure feed. One ranchman
lost six head of saddle horses in the
last storm, they having wandered into
a deep ravine where they were entire
ly drifted over with snow. Thirty head
of two-year-old steers belonging to diff
ferent firms were drifted in on the
west side Of this county and remained
In a space Of about one acre for three
weeks. When found eleven were dead
and the entire bunch had no tails, they
having been eaten by wolves. The
wolves had also eaten part OF the
necks and thighs of the live animass.

WESTERN CANADA AROUSING
GREAT INTEREST.
The Wonderful Yields OF Wheat Attract
Ing Thousands.

Until the last FIVE or six years but
little attention was given to that vast
area of grain.producing land lying
north of the 49th parallel, and imme-
diately adjoining the northern boun-
daries of Minnesota and Dakota.
The Canadians themselves were
aware of the wealth that lay there,
but being unable to fully occupy it,
they have asked the Americans TO
assist them in converting the land
from it's virgin state to one that will
largely supplement the grain-producing
area OF the North American continent
and the response has been most lib
eral.
During the year 1901 upwards Of
10000 from the United States went
over to Canada, being induced to set.
tie there by the reports that reached
them of the success of those who had
preceded them during the previous
years, This 10000 was increased TO
10000 during the year 1902, and it is
fully expected that there will be fully
$4,000 during the present year. The
work OF the immigration branch of the
Canadian government is not now be-
ing directed towards giving informa-
ton as to the advantages of settle
ment In Canada as 1t is to extending
al invitation to the Americans to fol-
low those who have gone.
Those who have charge Of the work
point with considerable pride to the
success Of those who have been in.
duced to take advantage OF the offer
Of 100 acres of land free in Canada,
and have no cause to hesitate in con-
tinuing the invitation. Many OF those
interested say there are no more free
homesteads to be had in Canada, but
the writer has most positive assurance
from the Canadian government that
there are thousands of such home,
steads to be had, and In one of the dis
tricts now being opened up fully as
good as the best, and it is probably
the best.
The Canadian government has es.
tablished agencies at st. Paul, MINI.
Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo-; Chi
cago, H.; Indianapolis. Ind; Milwau
kee, Wis; Wausau, Wis; Detroit
Sault Ste. Marie and Marquette
Mich; Toledo, Ohio; WATERFOWL, s.
Dakota; Grand Forks, N. Dakota, and
Great Falls, Mont, and the suggestion
Is made that by addressing any OF
these, who are authorized agents OF
the government, 1t will be to the ad
vantage of the reader, who will be
given the fullest and most authentic
information regarding the results OF
mixed farming. dairying, ranching
and grain raising, and also supply in
formation as to freight and passenger
rates. etc.

The city council of Watertown has
granted a franchise to the Watertown
& Lake Kampeska Railway and Trans
portation company, empowering 1t to
build and maintain a street railway
through certain streets of the city and
to Lake Kampeska, three and one-half
miles distant. According to the fran
chise the road must be open for bust
ness by July /, 1905. Local capitalists
are at the bottom of the project, but
Eastern capital will be solicited. The
prospects are bright, and 1t Is hoped
that the legislators, armed with the
franchise from the city for the line to
the lake, will pass the bill establishing
the permanent camp grounds for the
state guards at Watertown or Lake
Kampeska.
