The Passing Dollar.

Thirty years OF silver agitation and
delusion may be regarded as ended by
the coinage of the last liver dollar.
The striking of this coin was suspend
ed by Thomas Jefferson. and not re-
sumed on any sale till Martin Van
Buren, was president. Only small
amounts were struck previous to and
during the suspension of specie pay
ments, and the total amount coined
prior to the decline of silver and the
discovery that if they were in ex-
istence silver dollars would be cheap
is so small as to make the clamor for
the dollar of our daddies" as ridic-
ulous as st was foolish.
The Bland Allison act of 1878 re-
stored the legal existence of the coin
which had been abolished by the
Crime of 1874" and compelled the
of silver dollars. The
silver purchase act of 1890 stopped
the coinage at fixed date except as
to a sufficient number to redeem
Sherman notes. which as a matter OF
fact were redeemed in gold at the
demand of the holders. Senator
Wolcott of Colorado got into the
Spanish War Revenue act a provis-
ion for the manufacture of silver dol
lars. In the gold standard act OF
1900 it was attempted to put an end
to this, but the silver sentiment pre-
vented such action. The bulk OF the
silver bought under the Sherman law
has been coined; the remainder will
be saved for subsidiary coinage. We
are probably through with the dol
ar Of the daddtes" except for the
vast number on hand which can not
% forced into circulation. -Philadel- ]

A Sure Protection,

Barton, N. Oak, May 9th.-Many
cases are being published of how dis.
eases have been cured and lives saved
by Dodd's Kidney Pills, but there is a
family in this place who use this
remedy as a protection against the
coming on of diseases and with excel
lent results.
Mr.. w. A. Moffet says: Eve have
no Yer yserious illness or complaint
for we always use Dodd's Kidney Pills
the very moment we feel the least
symptom of sickness and they sOon
put us right. If we have a touch OF
lame back or think the kidneys are
not right, we take a few of Dodd's Kid
ney pills and the symptoms are soon
all gone.

doctor told him he could not live until

Pills for him, and although that was
several years ago he has lived
through all the winters and springs
since and is still living. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills are a wonderful medicine"

Now that Rev. Charles A. Lyons
who created a sensation by disappear

in the city was convinced that Lyons
was a rascal, his confding wife con.

believed he had met with foul play OF

insane.
1t was not until within the last few
weeks that she became satisfied that
she had been deserted and that the
villain in whom she had reposed the
utmost confidence was still alive. Then
she determined to have Lyons brought
to justice, and with this object in view
opened a correspondence with every
bookbindery and auxiliary institution
in the country, Lyons being a book
binder by trade.
During her Investigations she also
ascertained that Lyons had been mar.
ried three times before he married her
and that two of these wives were still
alive.

During the past week the farmers of
South Dakota have utilized every
available moment to complete the
work of seeding, which was greatly re-
tarded by severe snow storms which
swept over the state early in April and
on April 10. In some instances, where
seeding was finished before the storms,
grain was found to have been injured
by the freezing temperature which &C
companied the storms, and fields had
to be resOwn.
In parts of the state where farmers
have been able to secure enough men
to aid them, the small grain acreage
will equal or exceed that of last year.
but in localities where farmers, al
ready behind with their work owing to
the storms, are further handicapped by
a scarcity of farm hands, the acreage
devoted to small grain will show a de-
crease over the acreage Of last year.
The corn acreage in South Dakota
promises to be fully as great as last
season, with a probable increase in the
udA dCIpdS6. Iue sui IOuSloul lhS
agricultural portion of the state is in
excellent condition and the work of
seeding will be pushed to completion
as rapidly as possible. The farmers
will continue to work early and late
in order to finish seeding.
While the season is at least two
weeks late compared with former
years, farmers generally are confident
their crops, owing to the ground being
in first class condition, will be as far
advanced by the middle of June or first
of July a S customary at that period Of
the growing season.
