Is ABson UTlELY PURE
NATURES OWN REsf6RATivEs
IN FAvoRiTE PRESCRIPTION.
Or. Pierce Announces the ingredients
of the Family Medicines Which
Have Made His Name Household
Word in the World

With all the recent talk about patent
medicines and the determined effort in
certain quarters to cast discredit upon
all household remedies which come I'M
der that head, the fact remains that
some OF these medicines are so firmly
established in popular favor and con-
tidence, have so proved their worth
and value, that all the denunciations
of bigots cannot destroy the peoples
faith in them.
One OF the best known of these rem
edles is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. a medicine which for years has
been accepted by the people as stan
dard preparation for the cure of those
ailments to which women alone are
subject and which has proved to be
certain cure in nine cases out of ten
and a sure relief in the other one.
There is nothing to conceal about
solutely pure medicine-made of roots
and herbs, Natures own restoratives.
DR.. Pierce is perfectly willing to let
every one know that his Favorite Pre-
scription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulo-
phyllum Thalictroides), Black Cohosh
(Cimicifuga Racemosa), Lady's Slip
per (Cypripedinm Pubescens) and
Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis).
Every doctor knows that such pre-
scription is beneficial in the diseases
Of women and when properly COM
pounded is certain to effect cure in
practically all cases when given fair
trial. Hereafter every bottle of the
Favorite Prescription will plainly tell
Of what the medicine is composed.
Thus DIR. Pierce will once more prove
to the world his own confidence In the
remedy which for forty years has
borne his name and which is known all
over the world as a sovereign cure for
those diseases which, unchecked, make
our women old before their time.
There is no alcohol in the Favorite
Prescription. DR.. Pierce never be-
lieved in using alcohol in the prepara-
tion of his famous household remedies.
For it he substituted chemically pure
glycerine. which has wonderful prop
critics for extracting the medicinal
principles of roots and herbs and barks
and preserving them at their full
strength, without any deleterious eff
feet whatever.

OPTIMISTIC ON cRo- j7Look.

H. " Jones, editor Of the Com
mercial West, and the we'll known
crop expert of Minneapolis, was at
Huron recently on his tour of inspec-
ton of wheat fields in South Dakota
and portions of the Northwest. The
wheat yield for the three Northwest

conditions existing the early part of
July. the crop at that time in much
Of the area being in bad condition.
con the other hand" he says, "there
is some very fine wheat in prospect,
barring rust Alone On the question
Of rust Mr.. Jones differs from some
other observers, some Of whom de-.
clare it is worse than year ago at
this date-that the crop is almost
ruined by rust" He is inclined to the:
belief that what is being referred to
as rust in the majority OF cases is not
rust at all, but simply blemish in
the leaf, due to the heavy sap that is
being thrown into the plant by the
moist condition of the soil. In any.
case there is no black rust at present,
and there cannot be until the stalk is
in condition to receive the disease in
it's course of development. The con-
ditions exist, however, for the devel--
opment of black rust, but the North
west may escape it entirely. The
crop as whole is in condition to i'm
prove considerably with bright
weather. The Northwest crop will be
late barring hot weather, which will
cause premature ripening and blight.
The strong point of the crop to-day is
in the James river valley in South
Dakota, in the timber country in Min
nesota, and in the western counties
of North Dakota and on some Of the
slopes running into the Red river val

Census Figures on Crop Production
Verifying the Estimates.

The returns coming into the state
census department will give to the
state the first official figures in regard
to production and Supt. Doane Robin
son, in speaking of that phase OF the
returns, said:
"The volume of production of South

PUSHING ON TO THE HILLS.
Survey Crew Finishing Work and Will
Soon Reach Deadwood.


The work of laying rails to the west
bank of the Missouri river on the ex-
tension of the Milwaukee railroad
eastward from Chamberlain has been
completed and for the first time the
construction train was able to make
complete crossing. The grading is
completed to Oacoma, several miles
down the river from the bridge ap-
8proach from the west, and it is an
5nounced that the iron will be laid to
THAT town by Thursday of this week
The iron gang will then leave for Ar
5mour to lay the track from that place
sto Plankinton. It is expected that
this work will again return to Oaco-
ma In the interval it is calculated
that the work of grading westward
will have advanced to such a stage
that the iron can be laid without fur
Their interruption. During the next
two weeks ties and iron will be taken
4 to supply yards on the west sideeof the
river, to be in readiness for the re-
sumption of rail laying upon the re-
turn of the crew from the Armour ex-
tension
1t is positively asserted that the sur
vey crew, under the direction Of ]. H.
Mcknight, is now at work surveying
the line from the end of the track now
contracted for IS miles out, on to the
Black Hills. Parties in town from that
section of the country state that the
survey crew has already covered con-
siderable new territory, and there is
no longer the least doubt as to the
immediate extension of the line at
least to the Black Hills.
