Eczema and all diseases of the skin ]
 cured.

Eczema, Erysipelas, Itching Piles, Tetter, Barber's Itch, Salt Rheum, Ring Worm and all diseases of the skin have positively been cured by the astonishingly effective new D. D. D. prescription.
 If you have any affection of the skin you want to be rid of it. Don't think because you have failed to be cured by the countless blood remedies and skin prepara- tions you have taken that you can not be cured. The makers of these remedies have simply failed to understand the nature of skin di- seases. They have worked on the theory that skin diseases are due to poisoned blood, when in reality all skin diseases are but the mani. isstatiOn Of the activity of a living foreign parasite, which can be quickly and easily cleared away

overcrowded Condition of the Yank.

ONercrowded Condition of the Yank-
.r-. ~ a. ton Hospital. 49,.
As the legislature is being asked to
make adequate provision for the care
of the insane, some facts in coanec-
ton with that institution are peril
nent. .".|
On the LIST day of December the
oyercrowded condition Of the hospital
for the insane is stated as follows:
The number of single rooms with two
patients In a room on the mems wards
was AZ; the number in excess of prop
er accommodations was Al; the mum.
Der in alcoves and other space intend
ed for day room was So; the number
in excess of what can be properly ac-
commodated in the cottages %; total
number of male patients in excess of
suitable accommodations, 131. OF
these patients So were sleeping two
in a bed. In the women's wards the
number in excess occupying single
rooms was "a; the excess of the prop,
er number of dormitories was %; the
number sleeping in halls aud alcoves
intended for day use, 46; THE total
number of women patients in excess
of suitable accommodations was go
OF these fifty were sleeping two in a
bed, so that on that date there were
223 more people in the hospital than
their accommodations justify, and OF
this number rs were sleeping two in
a bed. These facts have been plainly
stated to the appropriations commit
tees and through them no doubt will
be made known to the legislative as
sembly. After such a showing no one
can possibly claim that the requests
of the hospital for more room are not
imperatively demanded, and it is alb
surd that they are abated to the ex
tent Of a single dollar.

IT HURTS SOME.
The Long-continued Cold Weather In.
lures the Range Country.


Reports from the range country
since the recent severe cold weather
are not the most satisfactory on the
range along Bad river and south of
that stream. Hay stacks are running
low on account of the long continual
ton Of the snow blanket which came
early in the winter, and the cate
were in poor condition to stand the
severe weather, resulting in losses
from that cause, but stock owners in
that section say that If they get a few
days of warm weather and a clear
prairie TO give their stock a chance
to pick up and recuperate before the
coming of spring storms, they will
come out in fair shape yet; but If the
feed remains covered until the spring
storms come they will lose heavily.
Nearly every day sees loads of ground
feed going out to the ranches and by
this means the weak cattle are being
taken care of.
From the range north of Bad river.
and especially along Cheyenne river,
comes an entirely different report. In
that section the snowfall was not near
ly so heavy as it was on the range
farther south, and the warm weather
in January practically cleared the
range of snow, leaving the grazing
country open, and there everything is
reported in first-class condition. Cat
tie were fat and the cold weather had
no especial effect upon them, and the
losses in that part will be at mini
mum, everything coming through in
flrst-class shape. Taking the situation
as a whole it is not nearly so serious
to the whole range interests as it was
feared early in the winter with the
coming of snow. 1t is largely a mat
ter of location, some individuals being
in poor shape while others are juhilant
over the outlook.

ROSEBUD LAND.
Cannon Wants Purchasers to Pay the
indians.

cannon wants PURCHASERS " ray VIC
indians.
Members of the South Dakota dele
cation in congress have had several
conferences with Chairman Cannon in
the past few days at which the Rose
bud Indian treaty bill was discussed.
II can be stated that the bill will not
go through the house at this session
in its present shape, because Mr.. Can
non will not consent to the govern
ment buying land outright and wait
ing to be reimbursed by sales to set
tiers. He will probably withdraw his
opposition, however, if the bill is
changed to provide for the payment
of the Indians from the proceeds of
sales to settlers, and members of the
delegation are considering whether it
will be better to insist on keeping the
bill in it's present shape, thus putting
off its passage until the next con.
gress, or to modify 1t to meet Mr..
Cannon's objections. If it is modified
and passed the opening of the reser-
walton will be delayed, as the agree
ment will not become effective until
IL is ratified by the Indians.
