The South Dakotans have enaeavored to
arrive at a compromise with the presi-
dent but the compromise insisted upon by
the chief executive contemplates an in
crease in the price to be paid for the land.
This the delegation cannot agree TO. be-
lieving that the price in the bill still is
too high, although in the spirit of com
promise they acquiesced in raising the
price to So per acre.
While the members of the delegation
feel keenly the position in which they are
placed, they say they owe it to them
selves and TO their constituents to pass the
bill in its present form. allowing the re-
sponsibility of veto to rest where 1t be-
longs.
Should the bin pass and become law

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. Oak, March IS.
Quite sensation has been created here
by the publication of the story of G..
w. Gray, who, after special treat.
ment for three months, was PROSTATE
and helpless and given up to die with
Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr..
Gray there is a remedy which will cure
it even in the most advanced stages.
This is what he says:
II was helpless as little babe. My
wife and l searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's Disease, hoping that l would
be able to find a remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that l should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. praise God
for the day when l decided to do so,
for this remedy met every phase of my
ease and in short time was able to
get out of bed, and after a few weeks
treatment | was a strong, we'll man.
Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my life"
A remedy that will cure Brights
Disease will cure any lesser Kidney
Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are GER
tainly the most wonderful discovery
which modern medical research has
siven to the world.

P0STOFFICE BILL.
Appropriation Measure, Increasing Sal.
aries Of Rural Mail Carriers, in
Senate for Action.

Washington, March 31.-After two days
consideration of the postofice appropri-
alton bill, the senate committee reported
1t last night, and it will be taken UP in
the senate today. The exact amount of
the increase made can not be given,
though it is said the bill will carry not
more than $1,000 600 over the bill as passed
by the house, except for an emergency
measure incorporated in the bill. The
house bill provides for the rental of the
Pennsylvania railroad site in New York
city for postoflice purposes. but the sem
ate committee decided that 1t would be
better business policy to buy the site.
Therefore AN appropriation of 100000 is
made for that purpose.
Among the important amendments to
the bill are the following:
The salaries of rural free delivery car
riers are fixed at S720 a year and the car
riers are permitted to carry merchandise
for hire and receive subscriptions for and
deliver newspapers and periodicals so long
as this occupation does not interfere with
the proper discharge of their duties. 1T
is stipulated however, that the carriers
shall not discriminate against any news
paper which desires to avail itself of the
privileges of employing them. Senator
Quay's amendment increasing the salary
Of the purchasing agent for the postoftice
department TO $4,000 and requiring that all
supplies must be bought by competitive
bids the contracts to be given to the
lowest bidder and that schedule of the
bids must he sent to congress annually.
was adopted.
The committee adopted an amendment
for the re-transfcr of the free delivery
in cities to the first assistant postmaster
generals division, instead of leaving it
with the fourth assistant The senate
committee provides for the purchase or
rental of canceling machines instead of
purchase alone. as provided by the house
