II IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach Rheumatism-How
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with infamed and aching
Joints. OF painful muscles; people who
Glluifle about with the aid of a cane or q
cruteh and cry. Oh at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, what is the best
thing for rheumatism 2"
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications is foolish waste of
time. The seat Of the disease is i'll the
blood. and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease OH the skin the poison
in tho circulation is increasing.
Delays in adopting sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatsd. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to got the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson's experience with this
obstinate and distressing affection is
that of hundreds. He says:
"About year ago l was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains We're v. orse i'll wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. ] tried number
of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the pains.
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only surface i'll
dication. He adds:
al had heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pele People recommended as cure
for rheumatism, and when found that
was getting no relief from applications,
I made up my mind that | would try
them. Before the first box was gone
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they We're not SC
severe us before. After the second box
had been used up was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
Tho change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr.
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No.11s
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass.
had found the true means for the purlti
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies
They effect genuine and lasting cure; II
rheumatism. They donot merely deadel
the ache, but they eSpel :hc poison fre',
the blood. These pills are sold by al
druggists.

INDIANS WILL sTARVE.
Bull Greek Reds Insist on Receiving
Payment in Full or Nothing.

The Sioux Indians who live in the
Bull Creek district on the Rosebud res
ervation have just held an important
council, at which the approaching pay
ment to the Indians of the purchase
price for the 10000 acres of land
which they cedeG to the government
last year was discussed.
The Indians decided to take = posi-
ton directly opposite to that of the
commissioner of Indian affairs. and
unless either party recedes from it's
position, trouble and suffering Will en-
sue.
The commissioner of Indian affairs
proposes to give cash payment of
$25 to each adult Indian only. The In
dians demand their children's money
also. Three Sioux warriors from the
Bull Creek district, S. Lapoint, One
to Play With and Eating Walker, re-
Gently went to Washington for the pur-
pose of discussing the matter with the
commissioner of Indian affairs.
They have now returned to report
to their brethren that they secured lit
tie satisfaction. The Indians of the
district then called a council and lie
cided not to accept any money at AL
unless the full payment of S25 to eacn
man, woman and child was made. The
Indians take this position notwith
standing the fact that many of them
have scarcely enough to eat and have
not sufficient clothing to keep them
warm.
The commissioner Of Indian affairs
fears the Indians would spend toe
much money for whisky if they were
permitted to handle their childrcn's
money as well as their own.
! In reply to this the Indians ask:
"Why not look after the parties that
sell the whisky, and not cause good
temperate Indians. and the women ant
children to suffer through the jllega
sale of intoxicating liquors?"
Should the remainder of the Brult
Sioux Indians sustain the action o
their brethren living in the Bull Creel
district, the situation might easily be
! come serious, as the Indians on thu
Rosebud reservation are the most va!
! like Of all the Sioux triges.

NEWS OF THE STATE.
FEAR FLOODS IN SOUTH DAKoTI
Residents of Bottom Lands Prepare to
Flee.

Residents Of Bottom Lands Prepare to
Flee.
Residents of the bottom lands along
the Missouri river in South Dakota
anticipate disastrous floods and are
preparing to fee to higher ground.
Conditions somewhat similar TO
those which existed prior to the dis
as;rous floods in the spring of 1881,
when many lives were lost and vast
amount OF property was destroyed.
now exist along the treacherous river.
Owing to the excessively cold weather
during January and the early part OF
February, the ice in the river is of un-
usual thickness.
The snowfall over a great area was
also greater than for a number of win
tiers, and the warm weather of the last
week or ten days has melted it rapid
ly. This has had an appreciable effect
on the stage of water in the river. but
the ice on the upper river as yet shows
no signs of breaking up. Water from
the melting snow is running over TIE
top of the ice. and if the warm wealth
er continues for short time longer
the ice will probably break up.
Then there will be danger of floods
along the lowlands. for the ice. owing
to its great thickness. will easily form
gorges at shallow places in the rlver,
! and damage TO adjacent property on
| the lowands would result.

,NAueuRArEs NEW POLICY.
State Land Department 1akes a New


State Land Department ..1akes New
Ruling.
The state land department has in
augurated new policy in regard 10
defaulted leases on state lands. In
the past when lease defaulted, the
party holding the lease was allowed
time in which to make payment of
the amount due the state and many
times it took great deal of work on
the part of the department to collect.
In the future as soon as lease is de-
faulted, the lease holder will be noti-
fed that he has lost his right by such
default, and will be at once ordered
to remove his improvements from the
tract If he desires it again he will
have to make a new lease and as the
general lease price is upward with
each year, he will find that he will in
most cases have to pay a higher
rental on new contract than he
would have paid had he kept up the
agreement of his first contract.
The question of an automobile line

IAN IDEAL CONDITION"
Secretary COburn pleased With Wheat
Conditions.

Winter wheat is booming, and the
indications are now that the crop Of
the present season will be even better
than it was in 1904
This cool, damp weather is exactly
what the wheat needs, and the most
glowing reports of wheat development
are coming in from the wheat coun-
try.
Today Secretary Coburn of the
state board of agriculture, whose
words on crop prospects always count
fer much. said:
The present cool weather and con-
tinued but not excessive moisture con-
stitute an ideal condition for wheat.
The excellent conditions which now
prevail are not only the very best for
the prosperity of the plant, but they
also prevent the development of any
insect poets. These conditions are gen
eral throughout the wheat country.
The situation as given in our bulletin
of April 8, wherein the average con-
dition was reported at 95.4, is, if any
thing, improved. For the present the
wheat needs moisture for the growth
of the root, stalk and foliage. Later
on the sunshine with some moisture
is needed for the development of the
head"
