Yankton Press and Dakotan: The
people Of Yankton are not pleased
with the outlook on state fair mat
tiers. \ The history of the state
fair reads like a war record. It's
struggles for a home and the battle
for existence after becoming located
has truly made it a born fighter.
Yankton took the contract to main
tain a state fair for a period Of years,
expiring with 1904, after the metrop-
oils had made two attempts to make
the fair successful, and finding it
improbable had become disguised
and abandoned further effort. Yank-
ton then assumed the responsibility
and made extensive preparations for
the proper accommodation of the in
stitution, procuring funds from the
work from its loyal and generous
citizens, without aid from the out
side until the last legislature passed
a bill appropriating $4,000 for each
of two years following. Without
state aid it is safe to say that no city
would car to take the state fair
away from it's present location, but
since Yankton has paved the way for
securing appropriations to help make
the state fair successful a deal is
entered into in which Yankton can
not even come as a competing can
didate for the location. Our citi-
zens feel that if Yankton can no
longer retain the fair she should
have some right in making deals in
which she has large financial inter
ests.

BACON AND SHAKESPEARE.

The Two Men separately and the
Two In One Befng.
Aristotle was an extraordinary man.
Plato was an extraordinary man. That
two men each ~severally so extraordi-
nary should have been living at the
same time in the same place was a
very extraordinary thing. But would
1t diminish the wonder to suppose the
two to be one? So l say of Bacon and
Shakespeare. That a human being pos
sessed of the faculties necessary to
make a Shakespeare should exist is
extraordinary. That a human being
possessed of the necessary faculties to
make Bacon should exist is extraor-
binary. That two such human beings
should have been living in London at
the same time was more extraordinary
still. But that one man should have
existed possessing the faculties and
opportunities necessary to make 10th

nary thing of all.
Great writer's. especially being con

there are five lines together to be found

MOTHERS, DON'T sCoLD

acid that they irritate that organ
and bed wetting is the result. The
hundreds of testimonials from every
state in the union all declaring
children have been cured of this
weakness by the use OF Doan's Kid

The RcdwOodk.

A remarkable popularity Of the red
wood (Sequoia semperyirens) Is it's man
ner of increase, which is from dormant
buds at the base Of the stump as well
as from the seed. When a tree was
blown down or fell, as its period of ex-
istence was reached, several shoots
pushed upward from the circumference
OF the stump and, Of course, in a circle.
These in time became fully grown, six,
ten or a dozen feet in diameter. In aft
er years. as these trees have fallen,
each would have a circle of trees SUR
rounding it.

ERIDAY FEBRUARY 6, 1903.

When Col. L. ID. Lyons passed away
Watertown lost an excellent citizen.
For a good many years he was en-
gagged in the newspaper business at
Watertown and was recognized as be-
ing in the front rank of the writers
OF the state in his day. The editor
OF The Republican had the pleasure OF
forming his acquaintance some
seventeen years ago at n Of the
editorial meetings Of the state press.
In the latter years he was the man
ager Of the waterworks system in
WATERFOWL. Col. Lyons was a very
fine gentleman and we are indeed
sorry to learn of his death.

Minneapolis Tribune: The rail
roads OF the country are being ruined
by prosperity. They are like the
historical character who was drowned
IN a butt of Malmsley. They are so
buried under business that some Of
them seem to have lost the power to
handle even an ordinary amount.
The congestion is most severe on the
trunk lines; but OF course the paraly-
sis extends to all their connections.
The railroad system of the country,
like a chain, is no stronger than it's
weakest link. This inability to take
all the business offered must increase
expenditures as we'll as reduce reven-
ues. The operating expenses Of the
most Important railroads have been
increasing for the last year with
every report, ever before coal went
up and wages were increased. OF
course it costs more to handle bust
ness that is hurled at you in stan
ming masses and with rush orders.
Moreover, the railroads cannot lie
down under the imputation that
their facilities are inadequate to
handle the business of the country,
They will have to spend a lot of
money On betterments. They must
buy more rolling stock and motive
power. They must increase yard and
transfer facilities to prevent block
AIDES, and lay double and uuadruple
tracks to prevent congestion. 1t is
a significant fact that the largest re-
turns OF rallroading building last
year were for double and side track
age, rather than for new construction.
There must be very much expendi-
lure Of this kind, and it will con-
tinue to reduce the showing of net
earnings in the railroad exports,
This will increase fixed charges per,
manently, ever after the falling of
OF business earnings. Sudden anC
temporary prosperity in business has
its price.

LlBtLs THE PROFESSION
Medical Writer Makes Reply to At
tacks That are Made on Mat
ter of Viyi-section.

A writer in the January issue of
Association has an article in defense
Of the charges made that human lives
are taken in hospitals and college
clinics for the furtherance Of
for publication and reads as follows:
a Russian writer Of fiction, n
Veresayeff, or Smidovitz, has recently
made something of a sensation by a
libelous work IN the medical profess
sion. He claims to have studied
medicine, but reliDquished practice
because he had not the nerve to use
the knife and open an absess, and
consequently lost his patient by
septicemia. Accepting this as a fact
one can allow something for such an
individuals idiosyncrasies, yet they
do not justify his publication OF his
libelous faucies as facts, and making
such statements as that human vivi-
section is a common practice: that
every medical discovery is made at
the expense of the lives of scores Of
hospital patients ruthlessly sacIi-
feed in experiments, and that murder
in the name of science is constantly
being performed. This work will
probably soon be put in a form access
sible to American readers, but we
need not 60 abroad for all this class
of literature. We have plenty Of in.
genious fiction writer's with an album
dant lack of conscience to stimulate
their mischief-loving propensities. a
recent communication in n Of our
great dailieS is an instance uf the
point, and we have before us a clip
ping from a local Iowa paper which
makes the statement with apparent
belief in its truth, that it is a regu-
lar practice Of the medical colleges in
Chicago to purchase from gypsies
healthy children for the purpose OF
clinical experiments and demonstra-
tions.
However ridiculous or improbable
these stories find some believers, and
these not always among the most ig-
norant. The anti -vivisectionists take
them up at once and make the most
Of them for their purposes. and there
are yet others who accept them with
out criticism from the mere habit of
.credulity. Some Of the mud, Of
course, sticks, and it helps the
quacks, the faith curers and all the
tribe that fatten on human illusions.
They, OF course, encourage it and it
is easy to perceive the tendencies of
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and all the
other slanderers of the profession. AS
the only object Of experimenting is
to obtain what may be Of benefit to
mankind, we may claim, in some
measure, the reward of those who
have all manner Of evil said againstj
them falsely for righteousness sake.J
The scientific devotee to whom
human life is nothing, and who is de-
void of all human sympathies, is, we
believe, unknown among physicians;
ton. Whatever is said or done, one
thing is certain, the public does not
lose faith in the honest physician. 1t
may go astray on quackery and a
part of it may be joined to its idols
for a time, but our profession will be
in demand till that happy time
only the rainbow chasers fore
s~ee-comes, when preventive medicine
has done its perfect work and disease
is abolished. This is an ideal which
we may approach but can never at
tain.

OLD FIX CONFED CALLED HOME

The former comrades and old friends of J. J. Hamilton, once of Jackson county and a brother of Mrs. Hattie N. Johnson, will learn with sorrow of his death at Tyler, Texas, November 9th, from a stroke of paralysis re- ceived the morning before his death.
 The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. H. Gambrell at the resi- dence, the remains being then taken in charge by the Albert Sydney John son camp, of which deceased was 8 member.
 The Tyler Courier pays the follow ing tribute to the deceased:
 'sIn 1865 he married Miss Cynthia s. Davis, the charming daughter of John L. and Mrs. Nancy Davis, who had settled in Smith county and Tyler along early in the sos.
 "'Uncle Joe' Hamilton has been a familiar figure in Tyler for many years and waited with meekness and noblest of manhood for the final sum- mons, ready for the final roll call.
 "The old landmarks of the old South are disappearing and the winding sheet is nearly ready for the last of the old heroes who fought for our rights under the constitution of our country and handed down to us by the 1 fathers who made it.n

JOLLY LEE DROPS DEAD.
Heavy Weight Exhibited By Cosmo- politan Carnival Company Died Thursday Morning Body to
 Be Embalmed.

Lee Trickey, better known under his widely advertised show name of Jolly Lee,p died Thursday morning about 8 o'clock, after several hours of severe suffering from inflammatory rheumatism, which is supposed to have affected his heart.
 Trickey was advertised as weighing 619 pounds and the doctor who waited upon him says he must have exceeded 500. He was the biggest man in the world, surpassing Joe Grimes, who died in Cincinnati three weeks ago.
 Trickey was not over five feet ten inches in height and his limbs below the knees were very small, so that he could harnly stand alone. When get ting out of the car Monday he suffered a sprained ankle.
 The deceased was 32 years old and had been with the Cosmopolitan Car nival Company six weeks. He was very heavy from youth, was married but leaves no family. The body will probably be embalmed, awaiting in- structions from his home, Hammond, Wisconsin, to which point the remains will be shipped.

 After passing sentence on him to- day, the judge told the defendant to go home and arrange his business affairs as soon as he could, and then proceed to Sulphur Springs, report to the jailer there and enter on the ser vice of his sentence. The sheriff had some of the ablest attorneys in Texas to defend him, and made stubborn fight against the con- tempt charge.

PROTECT THE FORESTS.
An Intelligent and Careful Husband ing of Forest Areas In State Should
 Be Practiced.

Mir. L. D. King of Clifford, Ark,
 connected with the lumber business there, is quoted at Memphis as stating
 that the forests of Arkansas, once deemed almost inexhaustible, are
 being rapidly depleted, and that the
 supply in many parts of the state will last but few years, says the Manu- lecturers Record. Mir. Charles Van Pelt lumberman of Seattle, Wash,
 is quoted at Kansas City as belittling fears that the lumber supply of this country will give out in forty or fifty years, and expressing the conviction that the lumber fields of North Ameri-
 ca will produce enough to meet all de- mands for the next hundred years. Referring to the prophecies of twenty years ago about Michigan that it's tim
 Der would be cut out before now. Mir. Van Pelt said that there is still a suf- ficient quantity to meet all demands,
 but that wasteful methods of handling it have come to an end. Regardless
 of MT. Kings apprehension and of
 Van Pelt's optimism, the policy adop- ted in Michigan, according to the lat ter, is the one to be pursued in Wash ington, in Arkansas, in Louisiana, in Texas, in the Carolinas or in the Vir- ginias-in fact, in any state where the timber supply has not been exhausted. As has been pointed out time and again, numbering operations have
 been carried on in this country upon the principle that with exhaustion
 of one field the mills could be moved to another. Forests have been ham
 died somewhat as mines in a purpose
 to get all out of them as quickly as possible. But reason is beginning to | assert itself and just as economies
 have perforce been introduced into
 mining, so scientific numbering is
 coming to the front. Modern meth-
 ods mean that there will be no waste
 in cutting and no unnecessary heed
 less destruction of younger growths l Moreover, intelligent consideration oi
 the relation of forests to climatic con- ditions is leading to the absolute pre-
 servation of great areas of timber and plans for the reforestation of other
 areas. All of which is upon right lines and for the ultimate benefit of lumberman and consumers of lumber of the future.
