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-
fidence, 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
edies is DR.. Pierce's Fayorite 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 a
certain cure in nine cases out of ten
and sure relief in the other one
There is nothing to conceal about
the Favorite Prescription. 1t is an alb
soutely pure medicine-made of roots
DR.. Pierce is perfectly willing to let
every one know that his Favorite Pre-
scription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulo-
phyllum Thalictroides), Black Cohosh
(Cimieifuga Racemosa), Lady's Slip
per (Cypripedium 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 DR.. 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 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 prepare
ton 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 ef-
feet whatever.

OPTIMISTIC ON CRo- jTLook

Fl. V. Jones, editor Of the Com
mercial West, and the well 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
ern states is estimated by Mr.. Jones
at ] rs 100000 bushels as indicated by
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 a 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 bemish 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, III 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

INSECTS PESTS OF MiLLERs.
Over Forty Varieties Of Moths and
Beetles Rother Than

Over Forty Varieties of Moths and
Beetles Bother Them.
"Millers have good deal to con,
tend with in modern times" said A.
H. Hull of Kansas City. More than
forty species of destructive moths and
beetles infest granaries, some Of
which were only recently imported
and some have been known as an enc
my to stored grain ever since very
ancient times. 1t takes a keen eye
to detect in apparently sound wheat
the presence of sgranary weevil,'
but if the grains have been stung by
it incalculable injury may be done in
a short time. Another destructive in.
sect that infests mills is the -four
moth, known as the scourge of the
-four mill. These insects excel in web.
spinning and sometimes mix up 50
much with the grain that the machin-
cry is clogged and mills are stopped
for long periods. The Indian meal
moth excels in devouring the germs
Of wheat, iniuring it for seed. A fat
little beetle called the -four weevil,'
often makes it's appearance in flour
after it has been barreled or bagged.
They are the worst pests in the mill
ing world that can think of now, and
sometimes wonder that the American
public is blessed with such excellent
-four in the face Of all this insect op.
position. ''-Milwaukee Free Press.

of the saloon. Judge Frank R. Aikens,
who was retained by Mr.. Enger, filed

Judge Jones of the circuit court sus-
tanned the demurrer. Thus the saloon
is the winner of the first two rounds.
But the fighting blood of the business
men opposed to the saloon has been
aroused and they have instructed their
attorneys to take whatever steps they
deem necessary to put this particular
saloon out of business. While only
one saloon has been attacked it is

! Cattle Owners of Charles Mix Win
Over Objectionable Inspector.
The county commissioners of
Charles Mix county, by vote of two
to one, removed William H. Menzie
from the Office Of county cattle in
spector upon the petition of 500 cattle
| owners. The reasons were, for his
| continued Misrepresentation of the
| law, in that he would not allow the
construction of private dipping tanks,
| and for the overbearing and ofiicious
| manner in which he attempted to force
| the cattle owners to do just as he or
dered.
The county also dismissed the five
| cases against the farmers from this
vicinity who had been arrested by
the cattle inspector for refusing to dip
in public vat, when they had already
made arrangements to dip in their own
| tanks or that of their neighbours
The fight on this proposition was
one of the warmest ever made. the
late county seat fight being no where
as compared to this.
The commissioners will appoint a
man to fill the vacancy, until the COun-
ty auditor can call meeting of the
cattle owners for the purpose of elect
ing new man. A large petition will
be forwarded to the state live stock
commission, asking them to have
competent man sent to this county,
make a thorough investigation as to
the condition of the stock of the coun-
ty, and if found to be as believed by
those who live here that less than
per cent Of the cattle have the scab-
bies, then modify the general order
that all cattle shall be dipped. 1t is
understood that Gov. Elrod has also
been asked to interest himself in the
conditions that exist here. Certain it
is that great hardship is being
worked upon the cattle owners of this
county, and the authorities should in
terest themselves to the extent of find
ing out the exact situation.

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-
proach from the west, and it is an
nounced that the iron will be laid to
that town by Thursday of this week.
The iron gang will then leave for Ar
mour to lay the track from that place
to Plankinton. 1t 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
to supply yards on the west side of 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.

the line from the end of the track now
contracted for IS miles out, on to the
