GOOD FOR EVERYTHING

The question is often asked how
one treatment can be goad for every
thing. Is not pure air and pure water
beneficial to the system? III SO, will
it not benefit every organ of the sys-
tenn to purify the blood, and elimi-
nate the large amount of poison that
collects in the systems Is not regulat-
ing the bowels beneficial to the entire
system, and absolutely necessary to
the proper condition OF health? III so,
why should it not be just as necessary
to open up the seven million pores in
tho skin, which is the sewerage OF the
entire system, letting off the deadly
poison which thousands of people are
carrying about in their bodies perfect
ignorant of their condition. You can
easily see this process OF renovation
can not help but benefit every part of
the human machinery.

an indemnity and 1t Is pointed out that

are OF the opinion that the Japanese
will demand an indemnity amounting
TO about $1,000, ,000, 900. that being their
estimate of the cost to the Japanese

Is considered In some quarters to be
too large an estimate OF the expendi-
ture. which is thought to be nearer
$600.U00.000. Diplomatic circles In
London are closely concerned about
the present movement and are of the
opinion that the plenipotentiaries will

History Society Events.

The meeting of the state historical
society at Pierre on Wednesday even
ing was addressed by two notable
men. Thomas L.aRiggs, president of
the society, now past the meridian of
life, is the second son Of DR.. Stephen
R. Riggs, the famous Minnesota mis-
sionary. who began him work with the
Sioux In 1887 and gave the remainder
OF his long life to the uplifting Of that
people. Thomas 4. was born at Lac
qui Parle In 1843 and, like his father,
has given up his life to the elevation
3of the Sioux. He settled at his pres
emit home on the Missouri and estab-
lished Oahe mission In 1878 and still
continues at the post, The other
sspeaker was John r. Williamson also

Of that name, and he was the first

EMPLOYERS EXPECT A GENERAL
RESUMPTION OF WORK ON
MONDAY.
REVOLT EXPECTED TO SPREAD
ENDING OF STRIKE WILL BUT.
RESULT IN INCREASED y
ACTIVITY.

Every indication seemsto point to
the disintegration of the strike move
ment in Russia. Several large fac
tories in ST. Petersburg reopened yes
terday and general resumption Of
work on Monday is expected by the
employers.
Gen. Kuroptakin's report of the sue
cess of his latest forward movement
seems to have acquired in st. Peters.
burg the added Importance Of being
a check to Japanese advance. 1t is
probable that this has had some effect,
toward quieting the uneasy populace
of the Russian capital, but in any
case the workmen seem to
Have Been Converted
to the idea that their surest reliance
for remedy of their grievances is in
the government. At Warsaw yester-
day there was serious collision be-
tween workmen and soldiers, official
! reports giving the casualties as two
killed and several wounded. The
strike at Libau continues, and there
has been no material change in the,
situation at Moscow, Saratoff and
Lodz. There are grave fears of trouble
al Ivanovo-Voznesnsk, the foremost
| cotton goods manufacturing town In
the empire. Predictions are made that
the ending of the strike will but re-
suit in increased activity ON the part
OF the revolutionists.
Plan Conciliatory Measures.
ST. Petersburg, Jan. pa special
council was held at Tsarskoe Selo yes
terday at which, it is reported, various
conciliatoroy measures We're decided
upon; but no details have yet trans
| pired.
The strike continues at Suratoff, Ii
bau and Lodz. No newspapers have
1 appeared in either city. At Warsaw
the situation appears to be becoming
worse. The strike is rapidly spread
ing, shops have been closed, there are
no newspapers and the telephone SER
vice has been stopped.
Quiet at Moscow.
Moscow, Jan. 29.-The day passed
off quietly. 1t is now almost certain
that the strike movement in Moscow
and the immediate vicinity will wear
itself out within few days. The print
ers returned to work yesterday after
noon and couple more factories
south of the river have reopened, but
| it is suspected that the men are try
ing to evade the order that they should
not be paid unless they resume work,
and that after receiving their wages
| to-day they may again strike.

STATE SONG.

State LEGISLATURE.

Bill Now Before the South Dakota
State Legislature.
A bill has been introduced in the
South Dakota house OF representatives
by Representative Apland for the
adoption of state song, whose author
is Stena Sidnell Peterson, OF Center
Vile. When the bill was itlrst pre-
sented the assistant clerk of the house
offered to sing the song for the mem
bers, but the offer was declined, ard
the song was referred to the commit
tee on immigration. Following is
Mr.. Peterson's production:
Tune-"Yes, Well Rally Round the
Flag, Boys!"
"Where the skies in beauty beam,
And the sunsets golden CLEAN,
There in my home in South Dakota;
Where the fields of waving grain
Raise in glory to thy name,
Giving cheer for South Dakota.
CHORUS:
All hail to Dakota! with glad hearts
we sing,
Till far DER the prairies, our praises
will ring;
And within each patriot heart, what
joy it doth impart;
Hail to the State of South Dakota!
where the western breezes blow,
Golden rod and roses grow,
Over the plains of South Dakota;
And the lovely autumn days
Into winter lingering stay
Giving cheer for South Dakota.
Climber land of wealth untold,
Mines of silver and of gold,
Are in the hills of South Dakota;
Wonderful thy Cave of Winds
And thy great and famous springs
Then give a cheer for South Dakota
"They gather from the East,
And they gather from the West,
Seeking for homes in South Dakota;
What a welcome glad and free.
From each pioneer you see
Then give cheer for South Dakota
"'Tis the homeland of the free,
Patriots of Liberty,
Came from the homes of South Da-
kota;
And the Nations flag shall wave
Long in honor of her brave
Then give cheer for South Dako-
ta."

BANK ROBBED A SECOND TIME.
Express Package for Ramona Bankers
Tempered With.

Tempered With.
A second package of money sent
from the First National bank of Madi-
son to the Ramona State bank OF
Ramona has been robbed.
Several weeks ago registered let,
ter containing $1,000 in cash, sent
from Madison to the Ramona bank,
was taken from a n.ailsack which was
lying upon truck at the Ramona
station, preparatory to being carried
to the Ramona postoffice. The enve-
lope was afterward found beside an
elevator near the station. All of the
money but five S. bills had been re
moved.
Although postal inspectors were
promptly on the scene, sufficient evi
dence has not been secured to warrant
an arrest.
The other day the Ramona bank
again had occasion 10 make ship
ment of money from Madison. Hav'
ing in mind the loss of the money
sent by registered letter, the bank off
Gals decided to ship the money by
express.
The train carrying the money did
not reach Ramona until late in the
evening, after the bank was closed
and Mr.. West, the station agent, not
having safe. place in which to keep
the package over night, declined to
receive it from the express messenger
Accordingly the package was car
ried on through to Bristol and as far
East as Ortonville, MINI. After thir:
ty-six hours later it was returned tc
Ramona and delivered to the bank
The package remained in the bank
some little time before it was opened
When the money was counted il
was found to be 500 short. Examina
ton of the express package disclosed
that it had been tempered with, hav.
ing been cut open and then carefully
closed. after a part of the contents
had been removed.
What became of the money and who
was responsible for the theft are mys-
5teries which the authorities are striv-
ing to solve.
