JOHNSON A CHARACTER,

Jacob Johnson is turning out to be
a wag, a humorist and a financier, in.
stead of being demented, as some OF
the papers have stated. He drew $3.50
from a bank at Miller that he depos.
tied before he left last June. He went
to North Dakota before harvest, and
learning that the rust had taken his
crops here, decided to stay there, as
he had no family. Visiting his farm
the other day, he said that he would
put in q crop, as the neighbors had
dug his land up SO thoroughly search.
ing for his remains that it would pro
duce well.
The reason he gave Deputy Sheriff
Waterbury the slip at Sioux Falls was
that he dreaded hotel piecrust, and
that instead Of intending to elude the
officer he was only going to farm
house for his dinner. He has his pc
culiarities, that of seclusion and mind
ing his own affairs being the most no
ticeable. He has never been before
an insanity board.

SMALL BOYS WORKING GRAFT.
Unique Way Of Buncong the Day
County Commissioners.

county commissioners.
Day county commissioners are re-
ported to be very much worried over
a sort of confidence game the small
boys are playing on them in connec-
ton with the bounty for gophers. The
bounty cents-is paid upon the pre-
sentation of the tail Of the gopher,
supposedly defunct, to which it origi-
nally belonged. The commissioners
claim that the boys this spring are
cutting of the tail and letting the 60
pher go.
The reason for this action on the
part Of the boy hunters originated in
the action of fun-loving resident of
Day county who caught a gopher and
cleverly grated half-dozen tails
where only one grew before. Then he
showed the rodent to some boys and
told them that il they caught the
gopher and cut off his tail half doz-
en- tails would grow where the ampu-
tation took place, and showed his six
tailed gopher in support of his asser-
ton.
With visions of wealth before their
eyes when the next gopher bounty
season arrives, the boys have quite
generally adopted the system, it is as
serted.

Pearls very easily become worth

OIL KINGS THUMB ON STATE.
The Legislature Was Fiim-Ftammed
by the Octopus.

The Legislature Was FIim.Fiammed
by the Octopus.
Predictions made at the session OF
the state legislature when a bill to
lower the state oil inspection test from
gravity test of 46 to AZ was intro
missal by Judge Garland of the United
States court of the suit instituted in
the summer of 1903 by the Standard
Oil company for the purpose of test
ing the legality Of an oil inspection
law enacted by the legislature of two
years ago.
1t was maintained by representa-
tives of the Oil octopus that 1t was
anxious to secure an outlet for its
Kansas oil, and as an inducement for
the state legislature to reduce s.e test
it offered to sell the Kansas oil in
South Dakota for cents a gallon less
than the usual price.
Prof James H. Shepard, state chem
list, estimated that there would be a
saving to the state OF at least 100000
each year If the offer of the Standard
Oil company was accepted.
Representative of the company de-
clared that the Kansas oil was just as
good as the Eastern product, and that
owing to the field being closer to
South Dakota the oil could be sold
here at a reduction of 3 cents gal
lon, providing the state test was low
cred.
State OH Inspector Emil Brauch
steadily maintained that the Kansas
oil did not come up to the required
test, and therefore refused to sane
ton it's admission until the legislature
had lowered the test. State Chemist
Shepard was sent to Kansas to make
tests of the oil produced in that st7fN
He returned to South Dakota 49,
closing days of the legislative session,
and made a report in which he sus-
tanned the claims of the company to
the effect that in order to secure the
cheaper Kansas oil it would be neces-
sary for the legislature to lower the
gravity test from As to AZ.
Largely because OF the report, the
legislature took the desired action and
lowered the test SO that Kansas Oil
was given admission to the state.
Now. in accordance with a stlpula-
ton Of attorneys representing both
the Standard Oil company and the
State of South Dakota, which has been
filed in the federal court, the test suit
of the company has been withdrawn
The case was dismissed at the cost OF
the Standard Oil company, but 1t was
stipulated that no costs are to be paid
to the state to reimburse it for the
expense of the suit.
Now that the suit OF the Standard
Oil company has been withdrawn. the
claims of those who maintained that
for the legislature to lower the test
would give the Standard Oil company
practically everything for which 1t con
tended in its suit are fully substanti
ated.
1t is simply another illustration o.
the old saying that there are more
WAYS than one to skin a cat"

How often a physician hears this
complaint!
Over and over we hear women say:
81 have paid in the small of my back.
l have a pain in my right side, just be-

These symptoms indicate pelvic or
abdominal catarrh.
They indicate that the bowels are not
acting properly-that the liver is out
of order-that the pelvic organs are
congested.
Pelvic ccatarrh-thati is the name for it.
Peruna cures pelvic catarrh, when
all of these symptoms disappear.
The catarrh may be all in the abdom-
inal organs, when it would be properly
called abdominal catarrh.
At any rate, it is one of those cases of
internal catarrh which can be reached
only by course of treatment with
Peruna.
