THE SECRET OF YOUTH.

De Soto looked for the secret Of
youth in a spring of gushing, life
giving waters, which he was sure he
would find in the New World. Al

for it, but it is only found by those
happy people who can digest and as
simulate the right food which keeps
the physical body perfect that peace
and comfort are the sure results.
A remarkable man of 81 says: For

you may well imagine.

it had restored my digestion. This

that in a short tint my bowels we're
restored to free and normal action.

BURGLARS ARE BUSY.
eard OF Professionals Believed to Be
Operating in Sioux Falls.

e5rS or FTOIcSSiondIS oShSSCo = SS
Operating in Sioux Falls.
That some of the professional
cracksmen who recently robbed a bank
at Springfield, S. D., of the sum of S.,
200 are operating in the vicinity OF
Sioux Falls is the belief of the local au.
thorities. In support Of this they point
to the robbery a night or two ago OF
the store of A. S. Peterson at Cotton.
a little town twenty miles north OF
Sioux Falls. An explosion of nitrogly.
cerine tore the safe to pieces and
greatly damaged the building. The
safe door was blown through the steel
ceiling and to the roof.
AS Mr.. Peterson had taken the bulk
of the money home with him the night
before the robbers secured only about
$50 in cash. Suspicion points to two
strangers who, preceding the robbery,
were seen in Cotton on two occasions.
A recent visitor to Sioux Falls whose
identity has not yet been established
doubtless thinks himself the loser to
the amount of over $4,000, for in a
pocketbook found on a seat in the
mems waiting room In the Milwaukee
railroad depot were two notes, n for
$4,000 and the other for $50, in add.
ton to a small sum in cash. The prop
erty was turned over to Agent Cum
minis of the Milwaukee Railroad COM
pany, who is endeavoring to locate the
owner.

Once in a Massachusetts town ia

in a spirit of levity, say anything you
like. Say l am the most distinguished
mar in the country. They generally

friend marched upon the stage and
calmly announced that he did not
know this nan Riis whom he was
charged TO introduce. and had never
heard of him. He tells" he went on
with never a wink, that he is the

PROPRIETOR LEFT BEHIND.
Sheriff Of Sioux Falls Holds Otis Bow
ers on Attachment.

er6 on Attachment.
Sheriff Phillips of Sioux Falls has
in custody Otis Bowers Of the Otis
Bowers Minstrel company, which came
here to fill an engagement. The ar
rest was made on a body attachment
secured in behalf of a woman living at
WATERFOWL.
The company was billed to appear at
other places, and Al a compromise
could not be effected it will be neces-
sary to leave Bowers behind. He has
announced that he will apply for a writ
of habeas corpus and endeavor by this
means to secure his release.
This arrest is the elimination of an
accident which occurred at Watertown
about two years ago when the Beach
& Bowers minstrels were filling an en-
gagement In that city. Prior to filling
the WATERFOWL engagement the part
nership had been dissolved. but Bow
ers was one of the performers and &C.
companied the tent show when 1t WIS.,

financial interest in the attraction be-
yond the payment of his salary.
During the Watertown performance
a section of the seats fell and several
persons were injured, and among them
was the complainant in the present
case.
She instituted an action for damages
against the company, which was still
travelling under the name of Beach &
Bowers, and the trial resulted in the
plaintiff being awarded a judgment
against the company.
Since that time Beach has not play
ed in South Dakota, and it has been i'm
possible to serve the judgment papers
upon him. The WATERFOWL attorneys
of the plaintiff learning that Bowers
was to appear in Sioux Falls, sent
the papers in the case to a local attor,
ney, with instructions to secure a body
attachment against him.

Something unique in the history OF

.. 8. skINNER's uNTIMELY DEATH
Boat capsizes In the High Wind on
Lake Pelican, Near WATERFOWL.

Boat capsizes in the High Wind on
Lake Pelican, Near Watertown.
Lying among a tangle of rushes, wild
rice and other sedge-growth, he body
of s. s. Skinner, more popularity known
as Steve Skinner, n Of the most
prominent and popular citizens Of
WATERFOWL, was found by a searching
party at $3.50 o'clock Sunday night
near the southern shore of Pelican
lake. Mr.. Skinner, accompanied by
DIR. Abbott and some friends from Chi
cago, went out to camp on the lake
Saturday noon. Against the protest
of his friends Mr.. Skinner insisted on
crossing the lake in a high wind to a
point Of vantage where he thought he
could shoot more ducks. He got safe
ly on the other side of the little lake
and considerable shooting, remaining
in his position until about sunset,
when the last shot from his gun was
heard. Before going out Mr.. Skinner
had remarked to DR.. Abbott that If
he did o return 500 after dusk,
the doctor should take the horse and
drive home and that he himself would
remain in camp owe night. The doc
tor waited two or three hours after
darkness set in, and Mr.. Skinner not
then returning, he set out in a rig for
WATERFOWL. The camping party, OBJ
serving that he did not return, took
It for granted that he had walked
home from the southern shore OF the
lake. No uneasiness was felt until
DIR. Abbott drove out to camp Sunday
forenoon. The party at once became
alarmed and began to search for the
missing man. About noon the boat in
which Skinner had rOwed across the
was found thrust upon some PUSHES
and moss in a shallow part or the
water. But it was not until about
$3.50 in the evening that the body was
found in the murky waters OF the lake.
There are various theories concern
ing the Immediately cause of the vic
TINS death. Mr.. Skinner was an ath-
lete with great strength and endurance
and 1t hard to understand why he
could not save himself, for the water
where the body was found is not over
three feet deep. Had he gone a little
more than fifty feet closer in to shore
he would have found the water little
more than knee deep.
One theory is that he had started
to cross the lake and in some man
ner had upset, the boat being a light,
metallic one; that he chung to the up,
turned boat, after cutting the anchor
rope (the rope had been severed and
the knife had been returned to his
pocket, he had drifted with 1t to
the PUSHES and wild rice, where ne left
to strike out for the shore; that, either
through exposure he had become ex'
hausted, or because of an attack OF
cramps, or possibly the bursting OF a
blood vessel in his struggles to gain
the shore, he sank backward, with his
feet imbedded in the mud. His body
indicated that he had struggled hard,
his muscles standing out as If he had
died in a supreme effort to extricate
himself. 1t is also thought that pos
sibly if he were attacked with cramps
che same effect would be produced.

Commonly, the first symptom of a cold
is a chilly feeling, accompanied by sneez-
ing, or a tickling in the throat. The most
frequent of external causes are 6raughts,
wet or cold feet, or going from hot rooms
suddenly into cold ones. More frequently
there is an inner ~cause-narnely the stagna-
ton of the blood caused by constipation or
biliousness. Almost the first symptom is
the feeling of cold in the feet and increased
discharge from the nose.
Nc one ever takes cold unless consti-
pated, or exhausted, and having what we
call NAL nutrition, which is attended with
impoverished blood and exhaustion ofncrve
force. 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 moi
absorbed into the blood, with the exception
of the alcohol. which shrivels up the red
blood corpuscles when it does come in
contact with them. We recommend the
botanical extract of DR.. Pierce because it
contains no alcohol, and offers a reasonable
and scientific method of treating the blood,
by improving the nutritive functions of the
patient. The Golden Medical Discovery"
accomplishes this, by first restoring the
enfeebled digestive organs, so that food,
the natural tissue builder, will be digested
and assimilatcd.
Accept no substitute for DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. There is moth.

HIGH BID FOR n

The Cheyenne school board is to be
congratulate upon its recent sale OF
$4,000 district bonds. The interest
was placed at 1 per cent and the price
offered by the state, the best bidder,
was 500 premium for the entire issue.
There was one other bid a little higher
than the states offer, but it was for
only a portion of the bonds and was
therefore not considered.
Wyoming securities are not a drug
in the market. The fact that no
county, city or school district has ever
defaulted in the payment of principal
or interest has been of great advantage
in the sale of bonds.
This good sale in our sister county
calls to mind the act that the city of
Laramie has a large sum of outstand-
ing bonds that might be refunded at a
lower rate this year. The city is now
paying 6 per cent, and they could
be refunded at not to exceed 4. which
would be a saving of about 5000 per
annum.

CARBON is PROSPEROUS.

The Carbon County Journal is a
paper. it never sees any good
lin anything or anybody. 1t has simply
relapsed into a crying, fa%ult-fnding
pessimist. In spite of the fact that
Wyoming this year presents the small
est delinquent taX sales it has eve
had, the Journal kicks about the Car
bon county list. saying that it is un-
usually long and is therefore indica-
tive of hard times. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. In almost nine
cases out Of ten the delinquent proper
ties advertised in Carbon county be
long to outsiders who purchased town
lots in the mining towns and failed to
pay thereon. If the Journal will have
the goodness to analyze the Carbon
county list, it will find that the local
people are not lodging the payment of
their taxes. Carbon county, with its
vast number of sheep and immense
quantities of wool, is doubtless as pros
porous as any county of this wonder
fully prosperous state.
