OF other nations are h%esitating and
assuring themselves that it would do
no good to suggest peace, President
Roosevelt took the initiative in

OF course it was the prestige Of

ROosEvELT's ACHIEVEMENT

Now that the peace conference is
well under way at Portsmouth, N.
FL, the Kansas City Star makes the
following excellent comment on the
@~arhieyement Of President Roosevelt
and his association III bringing to-
gether the leaders of the two war
ring nations:
President Rooseyelt,s part IN the
peace negotiations was completed
When he introduced the nvoys to
each other on board the Mayfiower

conclusion Of "a just and lasting
peace The issue henceforlh is out

gbrineing the representatives Of the
hostile nations face to face will be
accounted one of the notable achieve
silIeiitS OF his career.

BLOOD MggEA TEzL.

It takes lots of vitality, nervous force and
strength to win a race. Blood must be
pure and good.
Without good red blood a man has a
weak heart and poor nerves. T1lin1less of
the blood, or anemia, is common. in men
and young women, and all those who work
indoors, who do not get enough GOOD OK
ygen in their lungs, consequently have too
many white blood corpuscles.
Keep the nerves rourished, the heart
strong, the head cool, the stomach vigorous,
the liver active with a tonic which has
stood the test of time and has a wide repu-
%tation, such as DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
TONES consisting of large portions of
alcohol, iron or cod liver oil, do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system and are rot
absorbed into the blood, with the excep-
ton of the alcohol, which shrivels up the
red blood corpuscles when it does come in
contact with them. Therefore do not allow
the dealer to insult your intelligence by
telling you he has something better than

Sioux City's Big Fair.

Last year at the Interstate Live
Stock fair at Sioux City was held on
the same week with the Tnternatiop-
al Live Stock show at the st. Louis
exposition. AS a result, scores of
cattle, sheep and hogs, which would
have gone to the Sioux City fair, had
to cut out Sioux City in order to APP
pear at the st. Louis display, for
which they bad entered months be-
fore.
This year the Sioux City fair will
have no such handicap. Secretary
Wirick feels safe in guaranteeing a
much larger amount Of live stock
than at either of the preceding fairs.
Owners OF thor0ughbreds are aIrane-
in their routes so that they will 90
to the Iowa state fair and the Min
nesota state fair to the Interstate at
Sioux City. In addition to the herds
making the grand circuit of fairs
Sioux City will show more fancy
stock from her own territory than
any other fair in the United States,
for the eason that nowhere is these
somuch thoroughbred stock as With,
in 200 miles Of Sioux City. The
Sioux City fair is primarily a live
stock fair and Secretary Wirick neve
loses sight Of the fact. 1t has already
resulted in bettering the standard of
stock j n this community and this is
in accordance with the desire to
build up Sioux City's territory, that
Sioux City may grow with it.

a rumor came out from Bookings
a week ago that there was a possioil-
ity OF that county having a congress
sional candidate. Not so, however.
The Bookings Press this week sug
ests Sheriff Campbell of that
county as a candidate for state treas
uIer, and says nothing Whatever
about the congressional candidate.
There is a possibility of some active
politics up there if the dark horse
candidate finally concludes to put in
an appearance after while to get pos
session of the delegates.

Major Dent in the Money


a. A. Boynton's PAGER, Major Dent,
got in the money at the Fonda, Iowa
races Wednesday, taking third place.
In speaking Of the showing or the
h rise in his first race OF the season
the Sioux City Journal has the fol-
lowing:
Major Dent, Who was third in the
|2:lS pace at Fonda, did nett,r than
was expected Of him. 1t was his first
race, and as. he had been schooled
over a mile track Driver .Conly did
not think it possible for him to be
inside the money. But the Major
was right at himself aud up in the
bunch, pacing a close second in 2:l44.
Previous to this the fastest time he
had gone over the superb Woodland
course was a mile in 2:121. Compar-
ing these figures, Major Dent must
have been all right.
The Fonda track, according to the
time given, must have been bullet
fast and to the liking of the pacer
When Major Dent under the best Of
conditions could only negotiate Wood
land in 2:l24, and then in his first
race. %contendlng in a field of eleven
starters, managed to land up a close
second in 2:144, 1T shows the horses
at Fonda are going some.
Miss Cappy, who landed fourth
money. also was trained at Woodland.
and it was believed he-e she would
be able to ontfoGt Major Dent. How
ever. she also went a creditable race
TOR her first time in company this year.

The Russian peace makers seem to
have gone IN the air when Japan
asked for an indemnity, but came
down quietly when the word was
changed to reimbursement. So Russia
can feel better at her success in de-
handing some changes in the peace
terms. The foreign sentiment as to
the demands OF Japan is to the effect
that the amount asked for is not TOO
great, but the inclination seems to
be that Komura will scale them
down a hit, and that the first de-
mand was put out as sort of a feeier
of what Russia would stand.

Parkston and Municipal Ownership.

Parkston and Municipal Ownership.
Parkston special: AS the result OF
a mass meeting of citizens and tax
payers to consider the matter Of
granting to private paroles the
franchise for establishing a gas light
ing system in this city twas decided
that the city should own it's own
lighting system. An informal vote
which was taken on the proposition
was unanimously in favor of estab-
fishing and maintaining an electric
light system in connection with the
municipal system OF ~waterworks. In
view Of this prominent sentiment in
favor of a municipal lighting system,
1T is probable that early action will
be taken by the city council to pro-
vide for installing the system.

ThanksEivinss of the Revolution.

There were eight Thanksgiving days
appointed by the Continental congress
for observance among the colonies dur
ing the war for independence. After
the one called for the purpose OF cele-
brating the peace treaty, which was
held in 1874, the day was allowed to
lapse until 1888, when Washington
look his seat as president The idea In
these early days was To offer thanks on
some special occasion. That our ances-
tors could find eight such occasions
during the dark days of the Revolution
shows that they were ready to be
thankful on somewhat slim provoca-
ton. But ii also shows that the COB
blers shed their blood for the country
as well as the men.

INDEPENDENCE.

| ask no boon of any man,
No boon of fate, no gift of God;
| stand alone, as mortal can,
Nor bend beneath the Christening
rod.
| live my life my own sure way,
My creed the simple strength of
right,
And when the clouds shut out the
day,
| wait serene throughout the night.
My wealth. the two hands toll for it;
want no riches not mine own.
And Injuries? how shall | sit,
Reaping where other hands have
sown?
And friendship? Aye, l earn by
mine
Own powers of sympathy to bless.
Fen love, that makes the way divine
win by mine own worthiness.
| ask no thing of any man,
No gift of God; no boon of fate,
Excepting health, that may work,
And strength, the good long fight
to make.
Everybody's.
