in Assiniboia and Manitoba, where
rainfall and soil are comparable with
the range, South Dakotans are sue
cessful because they do not expect the
impossible. Hundreds from this state
have gone there. The entrance of a
railroad will make a great region near

Dakota people will make successes
there. In the survival of the tittast
they will survive and will show their
loyalty to eastern South Dakota.
This will make a great difference in

a matter of Indifference, but as rail-

humane feelings govern. The encour-

expected by a railroad company from
a community like Aberdeen for an ex-

FOODS are SO low that they can be
manufactured in Aberdeen and shin

mills.
No city in South Dakota has at
land a destiny SO great as Aberdeen
nd it will be railroad building which
'iil accomplish this. Regardless of
ny other conditions, no step should
e overlooked to encourage railroad
'uilding and, in my opinion, discour-

WORTHY OBJECT FOR A BOOM
Eastern journal Welcomes Efforts to
Bring Back the Bicycle.

A western organization of wheelmen
is hard at work with the highly laud-
able aim of starting another boom for
the bicycle. 1t is an exceedingly DIFF
ticult matter to create, boom by
purely artificial methods, but we sim
cerely hope that this effort will sue
coed. The bicycle boom is a boom
which deserves to be doomed. Call 1t
whatever you Ikea craze or q fad
the popular interest and enthusiasm
for the wheel which swept over the
country a few years ago was one OF
the happiest and healthiest "crazes"
that ever struck the American people,
or any other people, and 1t cannot
come again too soon or stay too long.
How much those years OF bicycle
activity added to the sum total OF In
nocent human enjoyment, human vi
tally and energy, it would be impos-
sible to estimate; but we venture the
statement, without fear of contradic-
ton, that no other modern conrivance
of human devising has contributed so
largely to these benefits as the wheel

Six Doctors Failed.

ciaD-After suffering from Kidney
Disease for three years; after taking
treatment from six different doctors
without getting relief, Mr.. ]. o. Lau-
deman of this place found not only
relief but speedy and complete cure
in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Speaking Of
his cure Mr.. Laudeman says:
Eyes, I suffered from Kidney Trou-
BILE for three years and tried six doc
tors to no good. Then l took just two
boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they
not only cured my kidneys, but gave
me better health in general. or course
I recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills
to others and know a number now
who are using them with good re-
suits"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
periences, For there never yet was q
case of Kidney Trouble from Back
ache to Bright's Disease that Dodd's
Kidney Pills could not cure. They are
the only remedy that ever cured

she is not the mother of the five child

GOOD IN CHILD STUDY CIRCLE
Parents Association a Potent Ally of

Mrs. Charles Schoff, president OF

the parents associations organized in
connection with the public school sys-
tenn form one of the most potent al
lies of the system in the country, &C.
cording to the New York Tribune.

the parents in one school district, in

each day-hot chicken soup, six gal
Ions of it, served in turn by members
of the older classes, and supplied and
directed by members of the Child
Study circle.
Another circle has quietly provided
shoes or stockings for children who
were kept at home for lack of them.
Still another circle, seeing the crowd
ed and unsanitary condition of the
school, went before councils and
showed the conditions so clearly that
$25 900 was appropriated and fine
new building erected. In many other
associations there are similar reports
of large appropriations for school pur'
poses.

Royalty Fond of Motoring.

A distinctive feature of the motor
industry has been the generous sup.
port accorded to it by the sovereigns
of the world. Apart from King Ed.
ward, the king of Italy and the king OF
Spain, who are well-known enthu.
siasts, there are the German emperor,
who has four or five cars; the king Of
the Belgians, who has three, and the
czar, who at present has only one, but
contemplates adding to his stud"
The king of Portugal and the queen
Of the Netherlands are also of the
company. President Loubet has a car
which he occasionally drives himself,
and the prince of Monaco, in addition
to very powerful car, has a motto,
cycle, on which he frequently accom-.
plishes very long journeys. And, most
astonishing of all, the shah of Persia
has now became possessed of two
automobiles.

Immiarants Seek the cities.

The volume of immigration during
the past four years has never been
equaled. One million came to this
country from abroad last year, and
they are coming faster than ever.
What is to be done with them? The
tendency of late years is to congre-
gate in the cities. In earlier days the
tide of immigration spread out over
the country A majority made the
fertile lands of the west their destina-
ton. There they fixed themselves,
absorbed the spirit of our institutions
and grew up with the country" A
generation ago, agriculture was the
main source of national wealth. To
day, manufacturing and trade make
the greater demand upon the service
of our workers, and instead of the
open plains the crowded cities are
sought by those who come here to
find employment and to better their
condition in life.-Boston Post.

British Railroad Statistics.

A recent report shows that in the
year 1904 only six passengers were
killed by accidents on railways in the
United Kingdom, and that 534 were
injured. From statistics kept for the
past thirty years, ending with 1903, 1t
seems that an average of one passen-
ger was killed in every 35,O53,O64
journeys and one injured in every
1,1OO,527 journeys. Out of a total of
71,OO7 railway employees, seven were
killed and ia injured during 1904.
The average for the preceding thirty
years was fourteen and 1877, respect
lively. This comparison shows an
extraordinary improvement, for the
number of railway employees was
greater in 1904 than the average num-
Der in the preceding thirty years.

ALBERS DEALT WITH UNJUSTLY.
American Traveller Says Accused Man
Is in the Right.

1t has been decided that a warship
shall be sent to one of the Costa Rican
ports to convey American Minister
Merry northward to the nearest point
on the coast of Nicaragua or Hon.
duras to the place where William S.
Albers. an American citizen, and his
brother are confined pending a trial
on the charge OF resisting legal pro-
cess and of insulting the president of
Nicaragua.
The gunboat Princeton, now at
Panama, is the nearest warship to
Ocotal in the province of Segovia,
where Albers is imprisoned. But the
last-named town is seventy miles in
land over rough mountain range
from the coast and the trail is not
passable by any vehicle. Amapala, on
the gulf of Fonseca, on the southern
boundary of Honduras, appears to be
the nearest port to Ocotal. The Port
Limon company, whose agent Albers
was, has sent lawyer from Philadel-
phia to Ocotal to assist in his defense.
Cause of the Trouble.
An American who has been travel
ing in Central America for the past
few months engaged in scientific work,
has written a detailed account Of the
Albers case to friends in Baltimore,
which has reached here. He reports
as follows:
"The Limon company, of which Will
liam S. Albers is the manager, is To-
Gated at Jalapa, Segovia, near the
border of Honduras. This corporation
is engaged in gold and silver mining
and in raising wheat and tobacco and
has made inveg tments in good faith.
"In March, 1905, a company of
armed men, alleging that they were
sent by the government tobacco syn.
dictate, demanded of Albers that he
permit them to enter and carry away
his stock Of tobacco under seizure.
"Albers replied that he had no con.
traband tobacco; that he obeyed the
law; that he paid the government in
full; that he held regular official re-
ceipts for all tobacco in his stores.
"He furthermore said that the first
man who tried to enter his door would
be shot, but that he would permit the
lSduCl W lhopCSI IuC loDdSSo Ill vi uSh
that his assertions might be proved
This was done and no contraband to
bacco was found.
Permits Are Refused.
Following the search of the Limor
company's premises, the executive o.
Managua, the capital of Nicaragua
issued a decree ordering that any one
holding tobacco in stock should Obtain
a permit and that should he fail t.
do this his tobacco would be confis
Gated, whereupon several American!
holding tobacco applied for the per
mits and were refused them.
"These American holders, there
upon, arranged to sell their tobacco
to the syndicate, with the exception o
Albers. But the treatment received
from Albers, who had in his plac
