There is to be big financial tear
up in the Minneapolis Fire Depart

large number of the members are not
satisfied with the way things are being
managed, and the result is that the
courts have been appealed to and will
settle the matter. Michael Copely
and twenty-five others have begun suit
in the district court against the off,

them to render an accounting to the

Jacob Johnson is turning out TO he

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
pat in a crop, as the neighbofs 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
ticeahle. He has never been before

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How n Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
MANY Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anamia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort In
Indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache~cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DR. Williams Pink Pills
OH the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
uently. Women in particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief III head
aches caused by an@mia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr.
Williams Pink Pills did me great deal
of good. had headache nearly all the

these pills / became entirely well. F."

OIL KINGS THUMB ON STATE.
The Legislature Was Fim-Flammed
by the Octopus


by the Octopus.
Predictions made at the session of
the state legislature when a bin to
over the state oil inspection test from
gravity test of 46 70 40 was intro
| duced, are fully borne out by the dis
missal by Judge Garland of the United
States court of the suit instituted in
the summer of 1908 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 it was
anxious to secure an outlet for its
| Kansas oil, and as an inducement for
the state legislature 10 reduce se test
it offered to sell the Kansas oil ~
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
OH 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 cents a gal
Ion, providing the state test was low
cred.
State OH Inspector Emil Branch
steadily maintained that the Kansas
| Oil did not come up to the required
test, and therefore refused to sane
ton its admission until the legislature
had lowered the test. State Chemist
Shepard was sent to Kansas to make
tests of the oil produced in that 81
He returned to South Dakota 9
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 46 to 40.
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 stipula-
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 it 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 it con-
tended in it's suit are fully substanti-
ated.
1t is simply another Illustration of
the old saying that there are more
ways than one to skin a cat"

SMALL BOYS WORKING GRAFT.
Unique Way of Buneoing the Day
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 off 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 a half-dozen tails
where only one grew before. Then he
showed the rodent to some boys and
told them that if they caught the
gopher and cut off his tail half doz-
en- tails would grow where the ampu-
taton 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.
