PUTTING IN GAS MAINS
Men Have Commenced to Dig Trench
eS for the Acetylemc Gas Plant
Pipes Distributed.

Active operations were commenced
Tuesday on digging trenches for the
mains OF the acetylene gas plant,
which is being constructed by the
Mitchell Gas Co. The building j
under Roadway and is located two
blocks directly west of the Omaha
depot. on DutT street. The material
used is cement blocks and the work
is being dcne by Gottlieb Scheuren-
brand. 1t is 35N35 in dimensions and
will be 36 feet i'm height. The work
is being done under The direction of
Goe. Summers, of Chicago, who will
be the engineer of the plant when it
is finished. Nh. Summers is an en-
pert in the acetylene gas business
and says that the light gives the
best of satisfaction when it is han
died and produced properly.
Jhe trenches are being put down
on an average Of three feet deep,
there being little danger of freezing
on account of the dryness OF the gas.
The mains in the business district
are three inches in diameter and the
feeders on the side streets in the
residence portion will vary smaller
in size.
Mr.. Summers stated that in a few
days a ditching machine would be
shipped to Mitchell from Pittsburg
and on its arrival the work OF dig
ing the trenches would be pushed
much faster. He said that if the
weather kept at all favorable for the
next five weeks that they would
have in fully six miles of mains. BY
this time the power plant would be
completed and gas could be supplied
at nee. The city council has con-
tracted for % street lights which will
be installed at once, the locations
having already been selected by a
committee from the city council.

REMEDY FOR CATARRH

III a few yeals ago some one had
said you can ure catarrh by breath

investigator. r. II. Booth, to discov-
er in Hyomie this method OF cure.

and it will cure the worst case of

WHERE TAXES ARE PAID
Pierre Not In the District Wher
the Greatest Amount of Taxes
are Paid.

Minncnaha Baltic: No one ac-
quainted with the condition of the
temporary and inadequate wooden
building now serving as d state
house at Pierre, will contradict our
statement when we assert that if the
capital remains at Pierre the state
must an once provide a new capitol
building to properly care for the
states interests and guard its rec
ords And who will pay for the cree
ton OF the costly building? Let's
do a little plain figuring. 1T is us
ually estimated that one out OF five
people are taxpayers Hughes coun-
ty, in which Pierre is located, lis
credited with a population of 3,6S4,
hence has 3I actual taxpayers
Though largely non residents). Our
home county (Minnehaha) has a pop
ulation OF 30, 600. hence 5000 actual
taxpayers are paying taxes on land
valued at from four to nine dollars
an acre: the 6 1000 Minnehaha county
taxpayers are paying taxes on land
valued at from s45 TO s65 and even
S15 per acre. Need we ask you whose
money will build the million dollar
capitol building which the Pierre
boomers are promising the people Of
Hughes county if the capital remains
at Pierre:

1T CAPPED THE CLIMAX
'om Palace Crowd Wednesday Ever
ing Was the Greatest in the
Ten Days.

The crowds of people which were
seneer trains from the east and
south Wednesday afternoon were
something enormous, the streets be-
ing lined all the way from the de-
pot up town. accompanying the
delegates was the Hudson band Of IS
pieces and the Moe band. The Hud-
son delegates alone numbered 200
people and two immense banners and
several smaller one displayed the
fact that HUDSON and Lincoln county
were for Mitchell.
In the corn palace was the greatest
crowd Of the past ten days, the gal
lery being full and hundreds stood in
aisles on the lower floor. The music
rendered by the Capital band was
cheered again and again and the
band did itself proud on this occa-
sion. Aside from the address of O..
l.. Branson to the Red Men, the
Hon. John II. kean, of Woonsocket.
former lieutenant governor of South
Dakota, spoke for Mitchell on the
capital situation. Mr.. Kean presented
some verv strong points on Mitchell's
behalf that have the convincing tone
of sincerity, the sentiments he en-
pressed falling on sympathetic ears.
Other features of the evening was
"a numerous recitation by Walter
Seaman and Miss Cope, both of
which were given in finished style.
such crowds coming to Mitchell
shows a deep interest in the capital
campaign and the reports brought
hither by the visitors indicates that
Mitchell is increasing her lead in
the capital contest every day that
draws closer to election. After Wis
ting Pierre and then coming to this
section of the state people change
their minds on the location of the
capital in favor of Mitchell. They
reach the conclusion that accessible
ity and having it in the pnpulous
part of the state is a very strong
and potent argument in favor Of re-
moya1 "

A Profitable Plague.

We have been long accustomed to
look upon locusts AS a plague to be de
plored, so that 1t is a satisfaction 10
practical use to man.
Mr.. Raphael Dubois has discovered
that the egg Of a locust contains a Kind
of yolk and that when it is squeezed
there flows from it Il thick liquid
which resembles honey and is of com
mercial value.
Treated cold with equal parts of
ether and alcohol. this yolk yields y
yellow oil when evaporated in the
open air. This can he made of the
consistency of butter or hardened like
soap. 1t Will also burn like alcohol if
placed in a warm lin.
The proportion of oil amounts To
about ) per cent of the bulk of eggs.
AS locusts can he swept up by thou
sands, a large quantity of oil can he
thus easily obtained.
In France women and children are
paid for collecting these eggs into bar
rels al the rate of 80 confines for every
kilogranl-London Mail.

Roadway that I was forced to resign my
position and seek relief at Hot Springs.
After spending all the means 1 hadI went
to Memphis. III less than three weeks I
was III a hospital, and after nine weeks of
suffering I was discharged as cured. In
less than a month every bone in my body
seemed to be affected and felt as if they
would break at the least exertion. Again
i was compelled to resign, and I returned
TO the hospital for n seven weeks stay.
When l came out l was advised to try
farming. When ! first went on the farm I
prevailed on the only firm who handled
drugs to get me one dozen bottles of S. S.
S. AT that time both of my hands were
broken out with blisters and l was covered
with boils and sores. In the meantime my

S. S. S. for Inc and l began its use, and
after taking the thirteenth bottle not a
