.Vermillion not Alarmed.

Vermillion Republican,: For the
space of about three weeks the par.
tissn press supporters of Pierre's totter-
| ing prospects in the capital campaign
have kept up small-bore fusilade
along their entire firing line, their range
all concentrated on straw dummy of
their own setting up,-to.wit: That
the removal of the capital from the
frontier to more populously and COM
mercially central point will start the
removal of all other state institutions
from their present respective and sat
isfactory anchorages to some other
though as yet undesignated place or
places. The sound of this snapshot
style of argument is now dying away,
and ite yellow smoke is clearing off.
Not single college, normal or other
school, asylum or prison.pen has been
loosened from it's moorings, and nobody
residing in the towns where these had
been originally placed had been hurt.
and in this old town on the Vermillion,
no one has been scared even to the
extent Of q hairs tremor. Each day
while this Chinese.g gong method Of
newspaper intimidation has been main
tanned, our people have been intently
watching an almost never ending pro-
cession of dray teams treighting past

enduring material for another stately
building, lately ordered placed upon
their university campus by the people
Of this state. Every load, as it passed,
gave the lie to the blstent pretentions
and believing predictions of the Pierre
press gang Of syndicated screamers in
their efforts TO prejudice our people
against removing the capital from
present inconvenient temporary location
to one better adopted In every respect
for it's permanent occupation. Indeed,
no one in Vermillion OF Clay county
need be alarmed over the hysterical
shoutings Of the frantic prophets in
Pierre's play. The several state in
stitutions are fairly distribu ted with re.
ference to geographical and population
considerations, land where they are
located there are they going to stay,
capital removal or no capital removal.
In all their cases the state has invested
to the amount Of millions-not for
child's play, but for permanent pur'
poses. Nearly half-a.million has been
invested here and more is being in
vested this very day as we write. All
the people are directly interested in the
state capital, and they want it located
where it is most accessible to them.

Power Of the Nerves.
Nerve Force Regarded by Scientists
as More important tilan the Blood.

The blood was formerly regarded as
the life-giving principle and to its
condition was attributed all that there
was of health or illness. Now, physi-
ologists know that nerve force and vi
tality are the same, and that the con-
stitution, good or bad, depends upon
nerve power.
Nerve force controls all motion,
sensation, digestion and nutrition. An
abundance of this subtle energy means
health and vigor; lack of it causes
general debility, nervous prostration,
premature decline, disease End DEATH
4.erve force is chiefly generated in
the brain, and therefore in the treat
ment of all lingering diseases the con-
dition of the brain centers should be
carefully considered and treated. One
great cause of diseases becoming
cLronic is that physicians overlook the
fact that deficiency of nerve power is
the chief cause of most diseases. Ner-
yous prostration is due to lack of
nerve force.
