DUST OF THE DESERT.
Largely Made Up of Shredded Roy

atty, Says Traveller.
A traveller in Egypt writes: with
all ieg heat and dust the desert has its
charms. True, the desert dust is an
affection, for when certain evil winds
blow the desert is shrouded in dust
vast swirling clouds, through which
no eye can see. But when the dust
storms have blown over and the des-
ert is calm again you forget the dust.
For the desert dust is dusty dust, but
not dirty dust. Compared with the
awful organic dust of New York, Lon.

''On those strips of the Libyan and
Arabian deserts which lie along the
Nile the desert dust is largely made

THE MONTHLY TRIAL
HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, BEARING
DOWN PAINS.
A Woman Tells How She Has Become Well
and Strong after Years of Misery
Due to Irregular Functions.


Due to Irregular Functions.
The fact that one woman is bright
eyed, rosy checked, strong and cheerful,
while another is pale, weak and de-
pressed, is due more often than other
wise to the regularity in the one case
and the irregularity in the other of the
functions that are peculiar to the sex.
When these are disturbed everything
goes wrong; pain and discomfort are
felt all over the body; the sensations are
often terrifying.

Twins for Prof. Hart.

Prof. Hart of Harvard, classmate OF
President Roosevelt, wanted to adopt
twins few years ago, and inserted
an "ad" in the Boston papers. He
stipulated that they must be OF Amer
lean parentage, good and healthy, and
not have a spot or blemish of any
description; the parents must be of
good standing, and must surrender all
claim.
He was surprised at the number of
replies he received. One day he was
called to his front door by his maid to
look at the twins in baby carriage.
They fulfilled all requirements, but,
unfortunately, were little colored ba-
bies.

Far East Negotiations Seem Doubtful
Just at Present.
VERY LITTLE PROGRESS MADE,
Announcement Of PIenipotentiaries
Was Expected Last Week, But the
Gar Seems to be Waiting on Some
Developments.

Washington, June 27.-Peace nego-
tiations between Russia and Japan
have come to dead halt owing to the
illness of Count Lamsdorff, the Rus
sian minister for foreign affairs. 1t
is explained officially that nothing in
the form of hitch has occurred, but
that the negotiations merely have
been suspended temporarily.
Count Cassini, the Russian am
bassador, had brief interview with
President Roosevelt today, but he had
no additional important advices from
his government to communicate. He
called merely to pay his respects to
the president prior to the latters de-
parture next Monday afternoon for
the summer. They discussed in
formally the peace situation, the
president expressing his earnest hope
that another general engagement on
the battlefield of Manchuria might be
avoided by the negotiations for per-
manent peace now pending.
1t is learned that up to this time
suggestions for an armistice have not
been received with absolute favor by
either Russia or Japan. Quite natur-
ally each government is seeking an
advantage over the other in the d.
plomatic sparring that is now going
on, and among those in touch with
the situation it is regarded as unlike
ly that definite arrangement for an
armistice will be concluded-even if
they should at all-before the formal
meeting of the plenipotentiaries of
the two powers.
AS heretofore noted there is serious
suspension of hostilities be arranged
a great battle may be precipitated,
the result of which might wreck com
pletely the pending peace negotia.
lions.
1t was expected confidently that an
announcement of the names of en-
voys of the two powers to the Wash
ington conference could be made by
lllt Cuu VI Iulo WcSh, DuI do d
of fact, the negotiations have not
progressed in the least since Tues
day. That both Russia and Japan
have decided upon their representa-
tives at the conference is quite GER
tain, but each government for rea-
sons of it's own declines to make
formal announcement of them.
1t seems scarcely probable, at this
moment, that President Roosevelt will
be in position to authorize furth-
er official statement of the status of
the pending negotiations before he
goes to Oyster Bay for the summer.
While both Russia and Japan have
indicated they may be ready to open
the conference about the first of Aug
ust, the belief in we'll informed quar-
tiers now is that the converting of the
plenipotentiaries is likely to be delay
ed and that they may not get to-
gether until the middle or latter part
of August.

LoNDoN's ROMAN WALL.
Partition Of 1t is Now Being De-
stroyed by Builders.

A portion of the wall which was
built around old London by the Ro-
mans is now being destroyed by build
ers. The part which has been laid
bare is seven feet in height and has
a thickness of eight and a half feet
and about fifty feet of its length has
been exposed. 1t is founded on gravel
and at the bottom is course Of fiints
and clay. Upon these are built up
two layers of stout burned tiles, of
the common Roman pattern, and then
comes rough-dressed masonry. The
tits and the masonry alternate; in
the seven feet of the wallis height
there are three courses Of each, held
together by cement, which is so firm
that it blunts the tools of the work
men who are endeavoring to destroy
it. Throughout the neighborhood
this wall serves as the foundation for
modern buildings. The Offices ad-
joining the excavations now compli-
Gated by the wallis presence are in
part supported on it.

by bringing farm products closer to
market, the price of lands increases
many fold.
The soil of Lyman county is one of
the richest in the state. 1t is black
loan with yellow clay subsoil. There
is little gumbo and no alkali within the
entire territory. This county has been
noted for its rich grasses upon which
large herds of cattle have lived during
the entire year without shelter and
without other food. 1t has produced
corn of an excellent quality, having
taken first prize at the Mitchell corn
palace during several of the past exhib-
its. 1t is well adapted to the growth
Of wheat, oats, barley, speltz, and of all
the other small grains produced in the
northwest. Land is selling now at the
rate of from So to $12 an acre, and as
| soon as the railway extension is made it
is safe to say that such lands will in
crease in value from 100 to 200 per cent.
The southeastern part of South Da-
kota contains fairly dense population
with land values averaging from $25 to
$75 an acre. This land is on the same
parallel and the soil is quite as good, the
rainfall as great, and water facilities
equal to any. All that it has lacked
heretofore has been ability to get prod
ucts across the Missouri river to mar
kets. The extension of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway will solve
that problem and will make Lyman
county one Of the richest sections in the
west.

e Chamberlain, s.. D., April 1.-THE
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
has decided upon an extension of its
line from Chamberlain west thru Ly-
man county, opening up thereby a
region Of cheap lands, rich in agricul-
tural resources, mild climate, productive
soil, and in which there is. already much
decided land, also large acreage that
may be had under the homestead law.
Lyman county is in the southern part
Of South Dakota, adjoining the Rosebud
Indian reservation on the north. It is
watered by the White river on the
south, the Missouri river on the east,
Medicine creek thru the center and Bad
river in the northwest, with large
number of smaller streams tributary to
these rivers A notable fact is the ease
with which artesian wells may be Sc:
cured. Such wells have done much
toward retaining the great area of
South Dakota east and adjacent to the
Missouri river. Water may, be had at
depths varying from six hundred feet
on the White river to thirteen hundred
feet on the higher lands. Surface wells
may be found almost anywhere, varying
in depths from twenty to sixty feet
