THE ROSEBUD INDIAN RES
ERVATiON.
as2. GOO Acres of Fertile and Well
Watered Lands Open to
Settlement.

Some two years ago the Chicago &
North-W estern R'y built their Verdigre
L. Bonesteel line to the eastern border of
the Rosebud Indian Reservation, thus Sc
curing the only direct line from Chicago,
Minneapolis, St. Paul, Sioux City, Omaha
and other points in the west to the fer
tile region which is now to be thrown
open to settlement under the United
States Homestead laws.
Under President RooseveltSs, proclama-
ton United States Registry Land Offices
are to be opened July 9th at Yankton.
Fairfax and Bonesteel, s., D., TOR the reg
istration of applicants for these lands.
The registration books will remain open
until July 23d, and commencing July 2Sth,
drawings will take place, to determine the
order in which the applicants will be per-
mitted to make final entry and settlement.
The final entry begins at Bonesteel, Au-
gust Sth. No one is permitted to regis
must he personally present at one of the
three points named for registration and
at Bonesteel for final cncry.
The lands are well watered by the Mis-
souri,, Niobrara and White rivers and are
remarkably fertile, situated in the midst
of the great corn belt of the Missouri
Valley, where similar land is worth from
about 1900 feet, they are in a region
which cannot be ~excelled for healthful-
ness.
A heavy influx of people is looked for
at these points of registration, and every
thing possible is being done by the North
Western Line to spread broadcast all in
formation that is of interest to applicants
for these lands.
Complete maps and folders have been
issued and are being distributed free or
application to the representatives OF the
Passenger Department.

Maple Hill, Ia, May 30.-A very remark
able case occurred here recently. The
people here have never seen anything like
it and it may interest many others.
From his infancy, Verne, the little FIVE
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Barefoot,
of this place, has been sickly. His moth
er consulted a doctor, but he did not be.
gin to improve till some one suggested that
she try a remedy called Dodd's Kidney
Pills. From unmistakable symptoms she
had always believed that his Kidneys were
the first cause of all the trouble, so she
bought a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills and
began giving little Verne two pills a day.
In two or three days she noticed an i'm
provement and she kept on till he had
used about two boxes when to her great
Joy, he was all right. Everybody remarks
how much better Verne looks and Mrs
Barefoot always explains: "Dodd's Kidney
Pills saved his life"

Moros Left-Handed.

To judge Moros by inhexible occi-
dental standards of motives and morals
is to lose at once the key to the situa-
ton. The very structure OF. their Ian
guage differentiates them from our
selves. Verbs are in the passive voice.
The man Who was slashed and killed pro-
$vohs67 the trouble. The under dog in
the fight is always the aggressor. The
thief is not blamed for finding" things
lying about at loose ends; the man who
lost the property is the real criminal
besides. he is a fool. II he were a SEN
sibIe man he would have exercised yigi-
lance against the approach Of the thief.
Moros reverse everything. Like all ORR
entails, they venerate the past and their
folklore, myths and legends abound In
tales not unlike those Of the Arabian
Nights entertainment. They turn to
the left of the road, extend the left hand
naturally in greeting. and the scribes
write from right to left. turning the pa
per sidewise, as any 1eft-handed man
would do.--Jonrnal Of Military Service

BOTH JAWS SHOT AWAY
Still a Successful Business Man.

A man who had both jaws shot away
had trouble eating ordinary food but
found a food-drink that supplies the
nutriment needed. He says:
81 have been an invalid since the
siege of Vicksburg, in 1856, where l was
wounded by a MIME ball passing
through my head and causing the en-
tire loss Of my jaws. I was a drummer
boy and at the time was leading a Skin
mish line, carrying a gun. Since that
time l have been awarded the medal of
honor from the Congress of the United
States for gallantry On the field.
1.-THE consequences Of my wound
were dyspepsia in its most aggravated
form and I finally proved ordinary cof-
fee was very hard on my stomach so I
tried Postum and got better. Then I
tried common coffee again and got
worse. I did this several times and
finally as Postum helped me every
time l continued to use it, and how
often / think that if the Government
had issued Postum to us in the Army
how much better it would have been
for the soldier boys than coffee.
Coffee constipates me and Postum
does not; coffee makes me spit up my
food, Postum does not; coffee keeps me
awake nights, Postum does not. There
is no doubt coffee is too much Of a
stimulant for most people and is the
cause OF nearly all the constipation.
This is my experience and you are
at liberty to use my name" Name
given by Postum Co, Battle Creek,

HAWAII WITHOUT DEFENSE.
Would Be No Trouble for a Hostile
Warshjp to Capture Amer
lean Territory.

The Indifference shown at Washing
ton in the matter of military and ava
plans for Hawaii has caused much sur
a recent report. A well-known officer
here recently called attention to
present conditions. The federal govern
ment spent several hundred thousand
dollars securing valuable lands at Pearl
Harbor for a naval station, pressing
lengthy litigation to a close and in
dredging the channel entrance to Pearl
Harbor, and it secured reports and sur
veys from several army boards as to
sites for military camps and land for
tifications. Then the whole matter
was dropped and the utmost indiffer-
ence appears to be the rule now
Meanwhile Hawaii is defenseless.
Since the United States acquired Pearl
harbor, during Cleveland's first admins
~tration, Honolulu has heard nothing but
the strongest expert opinions as to the
great Importance of the islands from a
strategic point of view. Up to within a
few months there has been a long sue
cession of army and navy experts voic-
ing the same idea-that Hawaii was the
"key" to the situation. Yet the islands
are utterly unprotected to-day. IT
Honolulu is of any value and war should
break out in which the United States
were involved a fleet, unassisted from on
shore. would have to defend Hawaii.
There is not a gun on the island OF
Oahu of any strength worth consider
ing in such a matter. The federal gov
eminent keeps a handful of soldiers
stationed in Honolulu and the Hawaiian
national guard has such strength as
may be expected from a militia organ
i~zation, and that is all. A hostile fleet
could take the island without firing a
gun unless there was q fleet of defense,
and this would mean withdrawing war
ships from other points.
There are no considerable coal or 9th.
er supplies kept in Hawaii. If the is
lands are of the strategic Importance
which they are said to be by Secretary
Taft, Gen. Macarthur, Admiral Evans
and a dozen other army and naval Of
ficers who have passed through there,
Uncle Sam shows strange unreadiness to
protect them. A single cruiser, a de-
cent gunboat would have Honolulu at
it's mercy.
Manila is defended, Porto Rico has
forts and American coasts are getting
moreyear by year, while the whole terri
tory of Hawaii is weaker as American
territory than was the happy Hawaiian
monarch who started forth with his lone
warship weighted to the Plimsole line
with gin to annex Samoa and organize a
federation Of islands of the Pacific.
If the war for which there is so much
preparation and outlay were to sudden
" start a single foreign cruiser could
take Honolulu, and if she had time to
land her guns and place them we'll be-
fore called upon to defend her capture
perhaps it might not be easy to retake
the place.. 1t is claimed chat batteries
at Diamond Head and along the shore
and at BARRIERS point would make Hon
olulu secure from capture from the
ocean side and keep war vessels out of
bombarding distance, while the approach
from the land side is yer a winding as
cent of a precipice easily defended.

INVENTION AND INDUSTRY.

Municipality owned plants furnish two
thirds of the electric lighting in Great
Britain and only about five per cent. in
the United States.
The importation Of ~raisins, which for
merly amounted to about 1900, 900 box
es q year, has been reduced to almost
nothing by the California crop.
Immense quantities Of sand equal to
that imported from Turkey especiallp
for glass makers have, according to the
Westminster Gazette, been discovered
not far from London.
The Umschau claims for the newly
invented process of milking COWS by
electricity rubber cap being attached
to the udders) the advantage of superior
cleanliness, and adds that the COWS more
readily yield the milk than when the
hands are used.
A machine has been invented which is
capable of splitting wood two feet long
and eighteen inches thick. 1t is run by
a three-horse-power gasoline engine and
consists of a huge knife which works
through the knCttiest wood at the rate
Of 60 strokes a minute.
Steps are being taken to develop val
liable deposits of fullers' earth, near
Buelah, Pueblo county, and nea Akron,

Even Commercial Travellers Were
Not Beyond the Reach Of
Saving Grace.

Dan DAILY, the actor, who died recently,
whenever he was idle IN New York had a
great habit of attending Salvation Army
meetings. He believed in the Salvation
Army, and he contributed literally to its
support. Sometimes, too, he had inter
esting things to tell about it. says the New
York Tribune.
One evening, rather late, DAILY and a
commercial traveler entered the Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel together. DAILY, with a nod to-
ward his companion, said:
My friend and | were ct a meeting of
the army tonight. The captain, after his
address, passed through the audience,
questioning the people. Coming to my
friend, he said:
What is your business, sir?'
81 am a commercial traveller was the
answer.
And are you saved?'
"'Oh, I'm all right
AT this reply the captain, turning to
the congregation, shouted in a loud voice:
"'Hallelujah. "A commercial traveller
saved. God can save to the uttermost!' "

"DEAR Mrs. P1NKHAM:-A while
ago my health began to fail because of
female troubles. The doctor did not

had used Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound on many oc-
casions for irregularities and uterine

not harm me at any rate to give 1t a

within a week l felt much better, the
terrible pains in the back and side
