No More Stomach Troubles

All stomach trouble is removed by
the use OF Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t
gives the stomach perfect rest by di-
costing What you eat without the
stomach's aid. The food builds up
the body, the rest restores the stom-
ach to health. You don't have to
diet yonrself. when taking Kodol Dys:
pepsia Cure. j. d. Erskine, of AL
lenville, Mich says, 81 suffered
heartburn and stomach trouble fol-
some time. My sister-in-law has had
the same trouble and was not able to
eat for six weeks. She lived entirely
on warm water. After taking two
bottles OF Kodol Dyspepsia Cure she
was entirely cured. She now eats
heartily and is in good health. l am
glad to say Kodol gave her instant
relief" Sold by L. o. Gale.

We notice that the committee and
an architect are looking over the site
out at Pierre for the possible con-
struction OF a capitol. According TO
Pierre authority that is about as far
as the proposition ought to 90, be-
cause the present capitol vas said to
be adequate for the states needs
for a good many years to come. II
it is, and those Pierre fellows were
making the statement pretty strong
during the campaign, and were con-
demning Mitchell equally as strong
for trying to foist a million dollar
capitol on the people, why let the
building that is now used for state
purposes continue so for ten years
at least. BY that time South Dako-
ia Will have come into possession OF
sufficient wealth as to enable her to
erect a building that will be a cred
it to her. TO attempt to build it'll
sections and on the hand to mouth
plan we will have a building that
win be d long ways from what the
people have a right to expect.

raS H,pSaSLL CAPITAL
FRIDAY. JANUARY q, 1905.
THE VOTE OF 1890 AND 1904

kimball Graphic; Pierre's princi-
pal argument.f for the retention of the
capital was that the cenSns figures OF
1900 were misleading that there had
been a tremendous growth of that
part of the Trans Missouri country
in South Dakota and particularly di-
rectiy west Of Pierre during the past
four years, and therefore the division
of population between the west half
and the east half of the state has
materially changed since the census.
On the other hand, Mitchell ad-
vocates claimed that the east half OF
the state was holding its big per-
centage OF the distribution of popula-
tion over the state, and would con-
tinue to hold it despite any tempo
ra1y boom west of the river or seem
ingly large increase of population in
that section.
A comparison of the vote on capt.
tai III 1890 with that of 1904 justifies
all the statements made on this point
by the Mitchell supporters.
The total vote in 1890 was 6 1909.
The vote of 1904 was 90, 1862, a gain Of
1888.
OF this gain the state east of the
Missouri cast 1924 votes and the
cuonties vets OF it 5000.
1t will thus be seen that despite
the fact that practically all of the
desirable land east OF the Missouri
was taken up Or appropriated prior to
1890 and II, 600, 900 acres have been
thrown open to settlement west of
the river, not including the Rosebud,
the gain in voting population east Of
the river has been nearly four times
as great as that west Of the Missouri.
The vote west OF the river in 1890
was 9,345, In 1904 it was l4,Ss4.
The vote east Of the river in 1890 was
6 1854. In 1904 it was "a, 900.
The population Of the state by the
1900 census was 4O1 SOC, of which, in
even numbers, about SO 5000, or less
than Is per cent, was found west
of the Missoui river.
The vote III 1904 west of the river
was IA, 1884 or a trifle less than is per
cent Of the total vote.
1t will thus be seen that the boast
ed increase Of population west of
Pierre during the past four years has
in nc wise changed the relative per
centage Of population between the
east and west half of the state-and
in this estimate Pierre has given the
big ,ncease in eastern Lyman, and
Gregory county, all OF which terri
tory lies east of Pierre.

THE STATE PRIMARY SYSTEM
1t Will Come Before the Legislature
to Submit 1t TO a Vote OF
People Oh Referendum.

The state primary system for the
nomination OF candidates for state
and county officers has shown up in
the legislature by filing a petition that
contains something like 5000 names,
and it askes that a vote Of the people
be taken upon the adoption of the
system for the state. There are good
and bad features in connection with
it us a law. The principal objection
to 1t is that democrats can 20 into a
republican primary u and foist
most anybody or the party. The fol-
lowing are ome Of the principal sec
tionS of the measures:
1t provides for the nomination OF
congressman, U. S. senator's, state,
legislative and county officers.
The primary shall be held at the
regular polling place in each pre-
cinct on the first Tuesday of Sep
TENDER, 1908 and bicnnidlly thereaf-
ter.
The name OF no candidate shall be
printed on the official ballot used at
the primary unless a nomination pa
per has been filed in his behalf at
least thirty days prior to the date OF
the primary.
Nomination papers must be filed
with state auditor for state offices
and with county auditor for county Of
fees and must contain one per cent
OF the party vote for a state office
and three per cent for a county office
TO be based on a vote for presidential
electors at a previous election
The county auditor shall cause to
be published for three consecutive
weeks previous to such primary a
full list OF all nominations under
the proper party headings An Of
fetal ballot shall be printed for the
use OF the primaries made up OF all
the party tickets securely fastened
together: the voter shall detach the
ticket he desires to vote and the re-
naming tickets are deposited in a
oid1h OhilOu 'OA diu dIleE VIE CALI
vass, ballots in blank ballot box must
be destroyed The expense OF the
primary shall be paid out of the coun-
ty treasury same as election expenses.
The secretary of the state Shall pub
lish in a paper Of general circulation
names OF all candidates for state Of
ticels o.. S. senators and representa-
tives and others whoes districts eX-
tend beyond the limits of a single
county.
Three committeeman are elected
from each precinct. the person re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
to be chairman. The county COM
mittee is to consist of the chairman
of each precinct aud the members of
the state committee to consist OF the
chairman Of each county committee.
The state committee and candi-
dates for the various state and legis-
lative Offices shall meet and form the
state platform. 1T is a very compli-
Gated concern and will require con-
siderable study on the part of the
voters before next election should it
he submitted hy the legislature.

THINGS EDUCATIONAL,
BY L. j. QulGLEi.
\ COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

The South Dakota Educator for
January contains several articles of
special interest. Among them is an
account of the state association at
Deadwood, an article en- the Bata-
Wan system. m on humane educa-
tion, and one on the reading circle.
These articles alone are worth the
price of the journal to the teacher.
Miss Nora Hubbard. having re-
signed her position in Dis. No. ,,
Perry, to continue her studies at the
University, Miss Della liillman has
been employed to theach the school.

a good record as Il successful teacher

Attendance upon teachers meetings
is not optional. The reading cilrle
work is prescribed by statute fIle
superintendent is expected to hold
these meetings and the teachers are
expected to attend them. | do not
refer particularly to those who we're
absent Saturday afternoon, although
| know that several of them were in
the city, but | am convinced by an
extended observation that those
teachers who have not two hours
tine for a teachers meeting once a
month show such a lack of interest in
the work That their resignation
would be a gain to the schools The
best teachers are constantly seeking
better methods. There is no time
when a teacher can truthfully say,
now ] know it all. The poorest
teachers are those whose ignorance
makes them self-SuificienL, or whose
low conception of the value OF their
work makes them Indifferent. The
principal subjects for discussion this
month besides the psychology of the
reading circle work are patriotism as
taught by patriotic songs and the
humane treatment OF animals.
a wise man said il he could make
the patriotic songs Of the country he
cared not who made her laws. All
the children should know .the words
and be taught to sing our patriotic
songs. The law prescribes that one
ten-minute lesson shall be given each
week upon the humane treatment Of
animals as prescribed in the penal
code. Not a half dozen teachers of
the county know the provisions of
the code in this regard. A copy OF
this portion Of the code will be mailed
10 each teacher this week. The saw
age is delighted with an exhibition of
pain and suffering in man or animal
but civilization changes this to a feel
ing of kindness and sympathy, and
by the principle of reflex action the
practice of kindness is civiilzlng.
The law is q good one and should be
enforced.

LEW WALLACE'S
 UNWRITTEN NOVEL.

The great American novel. according to the late Lew Wallace. was "Mur- vale Eastman" by Tourgee-a book of fifteen years ago. It has a subtitle, Christian Socialist" and is story that few people have read. as it was issued by small publishing house. General Wallace thought. this, title dc- tracted from it's interest. as people might imagine it life of a. socialist leader or treatise on socialism.
 General Wallace himself had in mind an American novel. He once said that it was his intention to write this story after he had completed his memoirs His theme was the striving of Ameri- cans to accomplish wonderful things in an incredibly short time. His hero was to be restless American who liv- cd for a few years in Europe. then in Australia, in Africa. and in South America, and who. finally, after years of wandering. returns to his country only to start again upon his journey. never satisfied. never happy, the spirit of an Indian within him, and the childlike desire to see new scenes. In each of these countries his hero was to accompllshiworthy deeds, and when he returns to his own country 1t is with the intention of leading the life of a son of the soil, but his hero finds he cannot do so. The story would have been suggestive of "The Wandering Jew" with the element of religious controversy eliminated.
