in value, as the unsettled portions of the
state are being peopled. Land that two
years ago sold for SO an acre cannot be
bought now for $50.
'Of course the Eastern part of the
state is the most thickly settled portion.
but land in the other sections is being
rapidly taken up by thrifty immigrants.
''There is now big movement under
way In South Dakota to change the capi-
tai from Pierre to Mitchell. Pierre is far
to the west of the state and as the center
of population is in the eastern part the
citizens there want the seat of the state
government moved. The people in the
Black Hills region are also desirous that
the capital be changed to Mitchell as it
would make it more accessible to them.
1.-The change will undoubtedly be made,
as more than two thirds of the people
demand the removal of the state govern
ment from Pierre. The project was in
formally discussed at the State Editors
association convention this week and the
newspaper men favor the removal plan.
Mr. Young will leave tonight for Chi
cago.

TO FUTURE OF PHILIPPINES
New Secretary of War Reaches
San Francisco En- Route for
Washington-He Puts in a
Good Word for the Mikado
and Tells of the Development
of the Philippines.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 23.-
Gov. w H. Taft, who arrived here
from the Philippines on his way to
Washington to assume the secretary
ship of war, said he hoped the Russo
Japanese crisis might yet be bridged
over and peace preserved. The mikado
was a man of force and tact.
Mr.. Taft said the welcome given HIM
self and wife by the mikado was flat
tering in the extreme. The host ex-
pressed his warm sympathy for the
United States and the friendly rela-
tions he hoped would ever prevail be-
tween Japan and the United States.
Mr.. Taft said that conditions in the
Philippines We're better than ever be-
fore and he doubted If greater tram
quillity ever prevailed

said, ito a period of great activity in
railroad building throughout the ISL

have so far controlled the field, but the
people of the islands are anxious for the
introduction Of American capital, which
so far has not been forthcoming The
greatest need of the islands now is

YELLOW" NOVELSCO
Government viii Stop Buying
Them for the Army.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Jan. 23.--The
house devoted the entire day to con-
sideration Of the army appropriation
bill in committee Of the whole. Mr..
Robinson Oem.. Ind.) attacked the
war department for the expenditures
made by the bureau Of ordnance and
Notifications in connection with the
Langley airship, declaring that such
expenditures were without the sanction
of congress and that the airship was
without utility.
A spirited discussion was precipitated
by Mr.. HemenWay, chairman of the ap-
preparations committee, VINO proposed a
limitation on the purchase of books
and periodicals for the army. The
Dreyfus case. French novels and the
character of the books in the depart
ment library were among the subjects
discussed.
Mr.. Hemenway proposed to limit to
5000 the amount available for the pur-
chase of periodicals and newspapers.
Mr.. Hemenway made the general
statement that the department libraries
were full of yellow" novels and books
of no value. as we'll as of good novels.
He was asked for a specific statement
by members of the military committee.
Mr.. Parker IN. J.) called attention to
the difficulty of getting military infor-
nation abroad and he maintained that
no restrictions should be made He
said this was the cause OF the Dreyfus
case.
Mr.. Hay asked Mr.. Hemenway who
was responsible in the war department
for the purchase of French novels. The
answer was that it had gone on for years
under various secretaries of war An
amendment prevailed providing for the
purchase Of technical and professional
works only.

deeamped. They were heard from in
Minnesota and In Canada, but they al
ways got away.
Play Minnesota Engagement.
Their next public engagement was
played at Kelliher, Mimi, a few days
ago. They tried to hold up a dance hall
and resort, and both being expert shots
soon cleared out the establishment.
But a crowd gathered and besieged
them. They held out till morning, and
then surrendered after debating terms.
They were to pay fine and be re-
leased.
By the time the Iowa authorities had
read of their exploit In the newspapers
they were safely out Of reach. Gov.
Cummins has sent after them, but it is
doubted if he finds them Sharp
shooter Nellie" is one Of the best re-
volver shots in the country. 1t is said,
in letters from Kelliher, that during the
siege of the dance hall there she shot
from an upper window several times,
breaking whisky glasses from which
men were drinking in the streets be-
low The crowd liked her nerve and
shooting so well, and was so pleased
with the joke of smashing the whisky
bottles, that everybody in the town
joined in the demand that the pair be
let off with a light penalty.

ST.LOU|S RATES MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS ROW
Passenger Officials Are Unable
to Agree on Worlds Fair
Reductions.

Indications point to serious row
among the railroads over worlds fair
rates to st. Louis. Thus far the traffic
officials have been unable to reach any
kind Of conclusion, and there Is little
prospect that any material reduction In
the rates will be made until the latter
part of the exposition.
Most of the roads which have no
terminals at st. Louis take the position
that they cannot permit the demoraliza-
ton Of the passenger traffic throughout
the country for the entire season. They
say few people will go to st. Louis until
fall. They do not object 10 the establish
ment of low rates for that period.
Under no circumstances, however, will
the Chicago Missouri river lines, which
do not run direct trains through st. Louis,
consent to the making of lower through
rates via St. Louis than are made via
Chicago. This stand is necessary, they
say to prevent all the through business
between the East and the West going
via ST. Louis. Some OF the st. Louis
lines may act independently and grant
special privileges and rates, but II they
do this it will surely cause rate war,
as the other roads will not permit the
diversion of most of the through business
via ST. Louis throughout the summer.
Associations to Meet.
Passenger and Ticket Agents, the Cen
trail Passenger association, the Western
Passenger association. the TransOontinen-
tai Passenger association and the joint
passenger committee will each hold in
dividual meetings In st. Louis next Tues
day and Wednesday, and the matter
probably will come to a focus at that
time
1t is evident that the st. Louis roads
are accepting in good faith the recent de-
cision of the supreme court of Missouri
and municipal legislation calculated to
regulate ticket "scalping" and guarantee
ing the roads against the operation of
brokers. Outside roads are being I'M
pressed by the confidence shown by St.
Louis terminal lines and the result Is ex-
pected to have q beneficial effect on the
handling of worlds fair traffic.
Passenger officials of the railroads con-
tend that II the laws are enforced against
the "scalping" of worlds fair excursion
tickets and the railroads are permitted
to continue the use of the simple forms
Of tickets throughout the country the
travelling public will be afforded an OBJ
ject lesson in the relief from burdenSome
contract tickets that would be given all
over the country under other conditions.
Still Flight scaIpers.
It is pointed out that the valuation of
worlds fair tickets in st. Louis from far
distant points Is only necessary for the
protection of the rates to and from inter-
mediate points and to encourage the st.
Louis lines to get their connections to
make favorable round-trip rates from
distant points to st. Louis. This Is the
matter now being considered, and in the
meantime the roads are keeping up their
warfare on the ticket "scalping' evil.

ever, that should they fail at any time
to pass the necessary appropriations.

Asked if the Philippines were in a
condition to govern themselves, Gov.
Taft said they certainly were not at
present, and to make a prediction on
the subject would be looking too far
into the future.

A CONVERSATION WITH A CLIMAX
When a Professional Man Talks It's to
the Point.

the FOtnI-
Several famous American physicians
and surgeons were recently dining to-
gether after a session OF a national meet
ing held in New York.
Il had a remarkable case this winter %
remarked a surgeon present, whose name
as a specialist in rectal diseases is world
wide. My patient was a woman, q
delicate nerve racked creature, who had
suffered so fearfully from the ravages Of
hemorrhoids, that the knife seemed the
only solution of the trouble, and yet her
heart was weak and her strength so
wasted by this fearful disease, that We
dared not operate.
"I had ceased my visits to her for a
time and had given up all hope. when one
morning she entered my Office looking
like new woman: the pallor had disap-
peared and the lines of suffering were
nearly eradicated from her face. She
told me she had bought at drug store
for fifty cents proprietary medicine in
suppository form called Pyramid Pile
Cure, and had obtained instant relief from
the first insertion. made an examination
and found the rectum In excellent condi-
tion, the inflammation entirely Sdisap-
peared and the swollen veins in normal
condition.
II was so interested in the case that
had the remedy analyzed carefully and
was SO pleased with the result of the
analysis, finding a combination of the
most healing and scientific remedies pres
ent in the Pyramid Pile Cure and in a
more convenient form than could secure
them otherwise. that I wrote to the Pyra
mid Drug Company at Marshall, Mich.
asking for their booklet on Piles. their
Nature, Cause and Cure, (Which by the
way is sent free,) and have since used
their Pile Cure extensively and with best
results in my practice. do not hesitate

ATTEMPT TO BLOCK

Canadian Pacific People Would
Hinder the Roads Coast
ExtentiOn.

PORT SIMPSON, B. c., Jan. 23.-Ac-
cording to the views Of many we'll inform
ed men on the railway situation, it is evil
dent that the building of another trans
continental railway across Canada will
be opposed every step of the route by the
same power that has fought the entrance
of the Great Northern into Vancouver,
B. C. 1t Is said here that the Canadian
Northern, which has q small trackage
west of Winnipeg and which is reported
to be scheming to come to the coast. Is
only making huge bluff to embarrass
the Grand Trunk, and that the influence
debating its movements is the Canadian
Pacific
dian Pacific that gave the encouragement
to the opposition party to the. govern
ment to take the stand that the party
did in fighting the Grand Trunk bill when
1t was up for consideration.
Promoters Lack Capital.
No well informed person In this prov
fnce believes that Messrs. Mackenzie. &
Mann can procure the necessary capital
to bring their line to the coast except
through the influence of the Canadian
Pacific. and In case this is done. it will
only be part of the old Canadian trans
continental line.
1t is also apparent that the same power
which has its hammer out for the Grand
Trunk enterprise has Its hammer out Tor
Port Simpson II the Grand Trunk must
be built, the Canadian Pacific would cute
ly direct its course and bring 1t to the
Pacific coast where they want it.
Thus 1t is found that every man In
the employ of the old Canadian road 8
fleet is at work against Port Simpson.
The southern road would have this new
line make its terminal at the Kitimat
harbor, or at Butte inlet, so that the ter
minaI would be only a back yard to
the terminal of the older road
Offer to Sell Grant.
The Kitimat harbor is controlled by
Mackenzie & Mann, who have a large
land grant at the head Of the inlet ex-
tending up the Skeena river to Hazleton.
Rumor has stated that Mackenzie & Mann
offered this land grant to the Grand Trunk
on condition that they would be permit
ted to control the townsite.
The location Of the terminal at Xiii
mat Hould not be so bad, railway men
se,, except for the fact that a towage
of large vessels for about fifty miles
would be required and that the harbor
freezes during the winter.
Notwithstanding opposition, there are
many indications that the Grand Trunk
will get down to work and extend its
line to the coast. and that when the
road is completed it will be found a first
class road from east to west; one that
will be able to bring nearly whole cargo
of wheat to the Pacific coast In one haul
