his admiration for the presidents

After Effects of the Grip.

/. Every person who has had la grippe
during the last-year should take course
of Peruna. No one need expect perfect
recovery unless they do so.
The grip has produced catarrhal in
f1ammation of the whole mucous men,
brane, and good health is impossible
until these are restored to a normal con-
dition. This Peruna will do.
A great many remedies have been
suggested for this condition from time to
time, but Peruna is the only remedy
that has any substantial value in these
cases.

The Fear of Grip Makes People
Nervous.

There is no remedy in the world that
meets the conditions produced by the
grip better than Peruna.
Peruna strengthens rs it renovates,
soothes while it stimulates, heals as ii
expurgates.
Peruna is not purgative, or cathartic
or sedative, or stimulant, nor a vege-
table or mineral poison.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Dec. 19.-Minnc-

ing Minnehaha and are determined to
carry it, and the prospect indicates a
desperate struggle.
Senator Kittridge has generally been
able to handle the county, but in the
local contest last year the insurgents
- got the best of it. They thought they
controlled the delegation to the state
convention, butw outmaneuvered and
the machine, getting majority, east
a solid vote from Minnehaha under the
unit rule. The insurgents are bound tc
win next year, and they certainly pre-
sent stroLg combination for the ma
chine to overcome. Some of the ma
chine leaders admit that they woul(

They expect, tho, to be able to men;

FINDS COAL ON FARM
Township Near Sioux Falls Excited
Over Discovery.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D.--Information has been
received here Of the striking of vein of Ignite
coal six feet thick and twenty feet below the
surface Of the ground on a farm in Lyons town
while the farmer who owns the land was engaged
in sinking we'll. After exploring the depth Of
the vein work was abandoned until machinery
can be secured for the purpose of opening up the
vein and discovering if the coal is in sufficient
quantities to pay. for mining operations Much
excitement prevails oyer the discovery. If the
coal proves to be ample in quantity it will save
thousands Of dollars each year to the farmers
who reside in the vicinity. Samples of the
coal brought to Sioux Falls show it to be of
good quality. It IS the intention to sink
shafts at other points in the immediate vicinity
for the purpose Of ascertaining the extent Of the
vein.

tive business man who was formerly a
Kittridge lieutenant. The city machine,
headed by Mayor George w. Burnside,
has been hostile to Kittridge and the
state machine, but it is hard telling
where it will land this time. The Press,
which is democratic, but the mouthpiece
Of the insurgents, is roasting Burnside,
and this tends to ALLEVIATE him from the
insurgent cause, while the appointment
of Burnside's son to place in the post
office is also significant. s
,, Ed Kennedy, the United States marshal
who retires Jan. ID in favor Of Seth
Bullock, is the main Kittridge ieuten-
ant in Minnehaha county. Al H. Sites,
the new postmaster, has not always been
a machine man, but worked with the or.
ganization last year, and is now one of
| its mainstays. G. f. Holmes, district
agent of the Mutual Life, chairman Of
the county committee, and one OF the
most popular men in Sioux Falls, is
staunch Kittridge man, and P. j. Rogde,
well-known attorney and member Of
the legislature, is also power with the
organization. These men are the lead.
ers in the battle that will be fought
next spring for Minnehaha county.
Contrary to rumors, Richard F. Petit
grew is not taking any hand in the re-
publican scramble. His sympathies are
known to be with the insurgents, and it
is credibly stated that he occasionally
gives them some good advice, but he
knows better than to get into the fracas
openly, and as far as the senatorship
is concerned, he has no more love for
Gamble than he has for Kittridge or

object to the way It was done. For
instance, in the contest for warden Of
the penitentiary year ago, there were
several candidates who worked hard
and got Endorsements, and who inter
viewed the senator repeatedly to see
how they stood. All were told that the
matter was not settled and was open,
but during this time a publishing house
in Sioux Falls got out a directory Of
state and county officers, and under the
head of warden of the prison, it gave
the name Of Harry T. Parmley, prom
inent business man, but not very ac
tive in politics, and not supposed to
be seriously in the race. The other
candidates got fresh assurances, it Is
said, that no decision had been made,
but in due time Parmley was named
by the governor.
The local postoffice contest is not
settled, tho AL H. Sites has been in
dorsed and seems, most likely to get
