without helpful daily exercise these

"Why do we grow old?" II French

three reasons it will be noted that he

advice. Walking, running, jumping,

Thus, if it is a fact that the human,
eye depends largely upon the surround

portion, it can readily be seen that in
the case of an eye which presents alb

try, with Pierre for the absolute
authority, then Mitchell was accused
Of "knccking" that part Of the state.
Would 1t be an injustice to the Black
Hills section to say that agriculture
was the paramount issue in the husi-
ness life? Try it once and see how
qlick those Hills people will take
it up. On the same basis the range
country can legitimately and honest
ly be referred to as not being par
ticularly adapted to agriculture when
the experience has all been the other
way. The Republican has not the
least desire to say oae word against
the range country. The writer has
been talking for South Dakota
through newspapers for the past
eighteen years and we still desire to
help build up the country on the
lines that have made each part the
most successful it is today.

The nurses at the bed side Of the
late Senator Hanna give out a queer
story, the publication Of which at
this time seems a little out Of place.
They stated that in his delirium
several days before death Mr.. Hanna
talked as if be we're on the floor of
the national republican convention
and was defending President Rcose-
welt, insisting that his own delega-
tion should support the president
and not urge Hanna's nomination.
The Washington correspondent as
sumed that his delirium talk would
eventually have taken place on the
floor OF the national convention:
Perhaps the story was given publicity
to prevent any further antagonism
to the president, but we do not be
l,eve that the case is 10 serious that
it required the publication of the
delirium Of the sick room. We all
honor the dead senator and the gener-
al public has been fully satisfied that
the sentaor was in no wise connected
and did not desire to stand as candi-
date for the presidential nomina-
tion at this time. He would have
been the choice Of the republican
party four years hence.

est arguments-that of accessibility.
Here are FIVE associations that meet
in Mitchell within one week. In
looking over the past fourteen years
that the capital has been located
at Pierre 1T will be seen that
Mitchell entertained more conven-
tions in one week than Pierre mas
since she became the state capital
simply because the place is so far re-
moved from the center Of population
that the people do not care to spend
more time in going to a convention
than they will have at their COM
mand when they get there.

The Yankton Herald seems to be
worrying to quite a considerable eX-
tent concerning the statement that
there will be no expense attached to
the removal of the state records
from Pierre when the capital comes
to Mitchell, and further the Herald
editor wants to know what assurance
the people Of the state have that
Mitchell will permit the state to oc-
cUpy the new city hall building free
of charge as long as it desires to.
Brer. Bennett says as yet he has seen
no authoritative statement coming
from anybody in Mitchell that will
give the state the right to enter on
the premises and occupy the building
for capital purposes. Brer. Ben
nett's query leads to the superstition
that NE does not believe that Mitch
ell will give the use of the city nall
building in the manner stated. The
fact that the city council when it
first commenced the construction Of
the city hall building expected to
expend not to exceed SIS, 600 on the
structure, and that when the capital
proposition was made a Mitchell.
affair the council at once changed
its plans and decided to erect 9
structure that would answer fully
the purposes of a capital building.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
FRIDAY FEBRUARY 20. 1904.
SHOULD NOT BE MoNoPoLlzeD

Fulton Advocate :-If, as so many
people strenuousiy insist, the North.
western railway is greatly interested
in keeping the capital at Pierre, and
the milwaukee in removing it to
Mitchell. what is the matter with
this suggestion? Let the North
western give the voters of the state
a free trip to Pierre and the Milwau-
kee the same to Mitchell.
There wouldn't be any doubt about
the result if this plan was tried, and
the Milwaukee would be only too
we'll pleased to fall in with it. But
what's the matter with having the
capital on both roads? That's the
question hundreds Of thinking men
are asking these days. The Milwau-
kee isn't so much interested in steal
ing the capital from the Northwest
ern as the latter is in retaining a
monopoly Of any prestige given to
its system by holding 1T far out to
one end of 1t. The Northwestern is
nov running two passenger trains a
day into Mitchell and two out, giv-
Ing q night and day service and the
best kind of one to st. Paul and
Minneapolis. 1t is fully equal, II
not better than the service 1T gives
Pierre-and without any capital to
boost 1t either. Consequently it
would not be depliving the North
western Of any privileges it now en-
Joys by locating the capital at Mitch
ell. But 1T would add much to the
privileges and conyeniences Of the
people who support the capital-and
own Ito add to the present railway
advantages the greatest railway sys-
TEN in the state-the Chicago, Mill
waukee & st. Paul. We mistake the
temper Of the people Of South Dako-
"a II they are content to hold their
seat Of government at the caprice of
a single railroad system.

For the past two or three weeks
Brer. La Toilette Of the Gazette,
has been publishing a series Of spe-
cials sent out from Pierre during The
last year or two which are rather pat
at the present time in view Of the
capital agitation. These specials
which have evidently been saved from
a file Of the Sioux Falls Press and
other papers tell Of the great inter-
ests on the..range west of Pierre. By
reading them over you will discover
that hardly in any case is the agri-
cultural features Of the range mem
toned, but the specials are all devot-
ed to advertising the country west Of
Pierre as the greatest range country
in the world. Agriculture was IA
ried on o such an exceedingly small
scale that it was never figured in the
slightest as an industry that was
worth mentioning. Pierre was proud
Of the great range, and she enjoyed
telling time and again Of the great
cattle interests, of the immense
shipments of cattle to the eastern
markets and of the shipments Of
southern cattle to the range for fat
tenine purposes. At that time there
was not the slightest thought that
they would have a capital removal pro.
position on their hands but the leg
1slature Of 1901 developed something
that Pierre has been working united
" and successfully on ever since the
capital was first placed thereto pre-.
vent aremoval resolution from becom-
ing an actuality. When Mitchell COM
menced to talk Of being the center
of population and it's accessibility
then 1T was that Pierre introduced
the great range colntry as being cap
able Of producing agricultural pro-
ducts. Bringing that range country.
without any particular sign Of popu-
lation, to the attention Of the pub
lie, it was the intention and aim of
the Pierre people to show that agri-
culture was the leading feature and
that in time the range would be set
tied with people. With that. idea
scattered over the state it was the
superstition that the people could be

Union Pacifc's Safety System.

On October 10 the Union Pacific put
into effect new signal service known
as the Stand Rule System. This sys-
tenn stipulates that every train is to
be given signal before it is allowed
to 60 by the station whether they
have orders or not, the toard being at
all times turned. The Union Pacific
is certainly taking great care to pre-
vent wrecks and its results are In evil
dence owing to the few it has had on
this great system.
