LEGISLATORS STAND PAT
They Have the Same Opinion on
Capital Removal Now as
When They Voted 1t.

1T has been IA Of the cries of the
Pierreites that the 100 members of
the legislature who voted for the re-
submission of the capital to the vot-
ers of the state that they did it to
get the question on the way, and
that they were not in favor of TAX
ing the capital away from Pierre.
Pierre has reckoned without her host
as has been proven several times by
the members OF the legislature from
various counties. Editor Basford,
Of the Redtield Press, in the issue Of
last week presented the views Of
three members from Sphinx county on
the capital removal proposition, and
they each feel the same today as
when they voted in the legislature.
The members are standing pat
against Pierre with wonderful una
nimity. The following is the letter
written by Hon. r. H. McCaughey :.
Melltete, S. d., May 10, 1904.
Hon. O. S. Basford,
Redteld, S. ID.
Dear Sir:-In reply to your request
of recent date that I give you briefly
my reasons for supporting Senate
Joint Resolution No. 1, being a Joint
resolution proposing to submit the
question OF the seat Of government
to a vote Of the people, permit me to
say that ] did so for two main Iea-
sons:
First, because l was fully con-
WINGED that the people Of SPHINX
county we're practically unanimous
in their desire that the seat of gov
eminent OF this state should be To-
Gated in the James river valley. and
at a point accessible to the people OF
all parts OF the state.
Second, because I was fully con-
WINGED that the people OF the state
OF South Dakota were practically
unanimous in their opinion that
capital removal would never down or
cease to be agitated within our state
until the voters at the polls had had
an opportunity to pass upon this or
a similar resolution.
From the very day Pierre was de-
clared the capital of our state, dis
satisfaction has been evident because
Of the Inconvenience in reaching the
place and the amount of valuable
time consumed in going to and from
the capital. At the last session OF
the legislature the d~eliberations

INVITATION FROM scALLlN BROS
Leading Mitchell Druggists Urge
You to Try Hyomei, the
Guaranteed Cure for
Gatarrh.
Catarl'h.

Any reader of The Republican who
suffers from catarrh. Or who is SUBJ
ject to catarrhal colds, is invited to
Scallin Bros. store for a complete
Hyomie outfit on approval. So con.
fident are they that Hyomie will
cure the worst and most deep-seated
case of catarrh that they will furnish
a full months treatment of Hyomie
on trial.
While it would be unreasonable to
expect a chronic case of cararrh,
which has been growing worse for
years, could be cured within a
month, yet they feel sure that thirty
days treatment will convince the
user that Hyomei is infallible in
driving catarrhal poison from the
system. There is no dangerous
stomach drugging when Hyomie is
used. Simply breathe its healing
balsms through the neat inhaler that
comes with every outfit, and the
germ killing and health giving air
will penetrate to the most remote
cells in the air passages Of the head,
throat and lungs, and drive catar-
rhal poison from the system. No
thing else will so quickly cure a cold
in the head or stop an ordinary
cough.
Singers and public speakers will
find Hvomei invaluable. 1t strength
ems the voice and gives it a rich,
clear tone. Catarrhal deafness is
cured when Hyomie and the special
Hyomei balsm are used.
The complete outfit costs only one
dollar, and If, after using, you can
say that it did not help you Scallin
Bros. will return your money.

sores. They had medical treatment,
and tried everything they heard of.
She commenced using the Cuticura

sores left his face and he vas entirely
