Pe-ru-na's Popularity.

This exactly explains why Peruna
has become so popular. 1t cures ca
tarrh. This is an amply sufficient
reason why IL should become pop
ular. Catarrh is almost universal.
Catarrh is difficult to cure. The doctors
do not care TO treat cases Of catarrh ct
all. 1t therefore follows that when a
remedy IL devised that can be used by
any one in the home at a moderate
cost, such a remedy should inevitably
become popular.

Pe-ru-na Actually Cures.

The reason why Peruna has become a
standard catarrh remedy the world
over is simply because II cures catarrh.
There is no other possible explanation
Of 1t. tits simply idle talk for any one
TO pretend that advertising can create a
popularity for medicine equal to that
Of Peruna.
II Poruna did not cure catarrh, people
would soon find IT out. Perhaps well.
worded advertisement might sell bot
tie OF Peruna, even though Poruna were
no good.
But, after person has bought one
bottle of a useless medicine, no adver-
tisement can induce him TO buy the sec
ond bottle. II, on the other hand, he
finds the medicine to be what 1t isre
mended, then he requires no further
argument or inducement.

RIVER MAY LOSE FIVE MILES.
New Junction of Missouri and James
Forming in South Dakota.

Yanlton, s. D., July 11.-High water
in the James river is causing much
damage in the GAINESVILLE district.
Many fields are covered and the crop
will, in most cases, be a total loss.
Carp and buffalo fish from the river are
swarming out over the bottoms and in
some wheat fields have been so thick
that they have broken down the grain
and ruined all prospect of q crop Hans
Gudmnndson took fifteen buffalo with
a spear last evening. some OF them be-
ing thirty inches in length
The Missouri river is falling and will
soon be within it's banks. Several years
ago in high water the Missouri threat
ened to cut through into the bed Of the
James river at point where a long
curve in the James, known as the Big
bend, reaches nearly to the bank of the
Missouri. The high water this year
threatens to complete the work of that
Of former years and if SO complications
may result
There remain but very few yards OF
earth and the Missouri is cutting it
away, Should the junction occur it will,
form J. new mouth for the James river
and Cut off nearly five miles of it's
length.

FOREST RANGERS EXAMINED.
Black Hills Timber Reserve Is Well
Cared For

Deadwood. S. D., July 13.-Captain
Seth Bullock, supervisor of the Black
Hills forest reserve, has just returned
from the southern Hills, where he has
been holding civil service examinations.
Forest rangers now come under the
head OF civil service employees and Will
be subjected to examination. The serv-
ice in the Hills has always been except.
ionally satisfactory, and a most re-
markable decrease in the number OF
forest fires has been observed since the
Hills was made reservation.
A meeting of the settlers upon the
reservation who SO far have not Sc
cured titles to their land will be held at
Hill City on July Is, when the question
of securing titles will be taken up. Con-
gressman Martin will be present at this
meeting and is expected to make some
valuable suggestions. There are still
in both Pennington and Custer counties
number OF ranchers Who though hav-
ing lived for some time on their land,
have failed for one reason and another
to secure titles.

LIQUOR DEALERS MEET.
To Hold Annual Convention at Sioux
Falls

Sioux Falls. S. D.. July 12.-The Re
tall Liquor Dealers association OF
South Dakota will convene in Sioux
Falls tomorrow for it's annual conWen-
ton. This association has not been en-
joying very healthy condition for the
past year or more and efforts will be
made to infuse some new life into the
association. Less than one-tenth OF
the liquor dealers of the state are al
lied with the association, and plan
will be devised IL possible to get the
other saloon men interested. tss-
The officers Of the association are:
John Breen, of Huron. president; E.
w. Iawley, of Sioux Falls, secretary
treasurer.
One question which will receive con-
siderable attention is the section of the
state law which says that saloon
shall not be located in the same block
or the block adjoining that in which
public or private school is located
This question is receiving especial at
tention at this time on account of the
fight which is being made in Sioux
Falls to close q saloon located in the
block with a business college. Should
this law be enforced as it stands on the
statute books of the state most of the
saloons would be put out Of business.
In most of the towns and cities private
schools of one kind or another have
been started.
On the evening of the 18th the To-
cal liquor men will give a ball and ban
quet for the entertainment of the Wis

UNUSUAL HIGH WATER.
Not for Many Years Has River Been
So Full.


Ner-Million, S. D., July 10.-The oldest
inhabitants of Clay county never ex-
perienced such high water during July
as is now prevalent in both the Mis-
souri, and Vermillion rivers. 1t has been
no uncommon thing to witness over
flows in the spring as a result of ice
gorges, but never before have such vol
unles of water swooped down across
the low lands so late in the summer A
week ago when the report came that
Valley Springs was the scene of a
cloudburss, it was not believed it would
have much effect on the Vermillion
river at this point. But the cloudburst,
together with the great amount of wa
ter that has since fallen, has swollen
the little river until now it covers
miles in all directions.
Heretofore if any loss came from
high water the Big Muddy was always
conspicuous in the overflow. This
year the government stream thus far
has done little damage, although the
banks could hold BIT little more wa
ter. The big loss to the farmers along
the Vermfllion valley has been caused
by the Vermillion river. The bottom
lands along it's course from Centerville
down have been submerged, and many
fields of small grain and corn are
ruined The hay crop is also damaged.
Last night the waters in both the
Missouri and Vermillion rivers began
TO go down slowly, and this morning
both streams are lower by several
inches. 1t is believed that the worst
is over, and that from this time on
the rivers will fall rapidly

BURGLAR sUsPEcTs CAUGHT.

Brookings, S. D., July 12.-Marshal
Timms, of Elkton, a town east of here,
near the Minnesota line, has placed in
the county Jail three suspects arrested
by him. The section men on the North
western road while repairing the track

years old, sandy complexion, five feet

years, black hair, beard and eyes, about
six feet tall. The other is young, about
20 years, dark, about five feet ten
inches. While no Jobs have been
pulled off in this locality, there is no
doubt but what these have been busy
somewhere. Files and saws were found
on the younger man. A plant of jew
slry and some silks was also found by
the officers near where the arrest was
made. These men refuse to give any
names or answer any questions. Pic

Sioux Falls, July 12.-According to
the returns of the census enumerators
for this county just filed with the
county auditor, Minnehaha county has
a population of 1886. which is an in
crease of 3.429 in five years, as the 1900
census gave Minnehaha county popl-
lation of 23,926.
Tie growth through the farming
community has not been very heavy.
The increase in the past five years is
found to be confined almost exclusive
ly TO the cities and towns in the county.
But as Minnehaha county is one of the
oldest in the state and was we'll popI-
lated several years ago, this is not
considered a bad sign
