DIES MONIES, Iowa. Sept. 2. 1903 I am just
another one your remedy has cured, and want
to tell you about it.
My attention was called to the Dis by dis
play in your Dealers window, Reed Hurlbut,
and after looking over the cures there shown
decided at once to try it, having little faith in
anything My trouble was Eczema on the
fingers under the nails, and particularly the
first Joint; the skin would look scaded and the
little cells would connect like q sponge under
the skin; sometimes there would be a very bad
odor with the discharge / tried everything
could hear Of and went to six doctors two OF
them being intimate friends, They did every
thing they possibly could and STUDIED the thing
up, but Of no use. The other doctors thought
they could cure by q regular course of treatment.
l was willing to be experimental upon If any
possible chance for relief This thing had been
going on for over two years. when TO my great
comfort 3 DIS came to my hands Your
remedy gave me more cure in twodays than any
Of the six doctors effected in over two years.
and inside OF two weeks had new healthy skin on
all OF my once rotten fingers. as / termed them.
I also wish to say that any one of the six
doctors are as good as we have in d. NJ, and
that my two friends have prescribed your rem
edy to their entire satisfaction for the past two
years, or since my cure. Don't let the formula
ever go to the grave, for hun1GRitp'S sake.

hope to be able to direct more sufferers to you.

|S0UTH DAKOTA IS IDEAL COUNTRY
Wonderful Artesan Basin Which Underes the Greater Part Of
the State Provides NeverFailns Source Water Supply

OF cattle shipped out of the state of
South Dakota to American and for.
eign markets was placed at the en-.
ormous sum OF $42.0OO,0O0. These
were marketable cattle, raised on the
| grazing lands that made the buffalo
| So famous.
But. aside from the marketable cat.
tie industry, South Dakota is famous
| for its blOOded stock. This work has
become one of the most interesting
lines OF development ever Undertaken
by state or its people, and in this
particular instance the soil, climate,
food, grazing, and all that go toward
providing the facilities for raising
high class, full blooded stock are SO
good in South Dakota that cattle
grown In that state have won thou
sands OF prizes in every section OF
the Union. At Vermillion, S. D., there
is one firm which has herd Of short
horns that has won many prizes and
been the envy Of cattle men from
many other states.
Kentucky is famous for its blooded
horses-trotters and runners-but
when it comes to serviceable horses,
the four-footed friend Of man who
will do him the most good by work
ing on the farm, South Dakota can
beat Kentucky call hollow" South
Dakota horses make the best cavalry
horses in the world, and this is say
ing great deal. These animals are
forced to make hard marches, wealth
er all kinds of conditions, and put
up with disagreeable conditions, yet
when called upon for duty South Da-
kota horses respond with q vim. And
again, the experiment OF raising
blooded trotters has been made in
South Dakota, and up to the present
has been very successful.
Famous for lts Wool.
Aside from the horse and cattle
raising industry, South Dakota is
known for the remarkable grade of
wool that IS shorn from the sheep
grown within the state, and for big,
fat hogs also. The nutritious grasses
OF South Dakota, the excellence of
the water furnished from the depths
Of the earth by the artesian wells
sunk all over the state, the splendid
climate, and the length of time that
sheep can remain unsheltered makes
them hardy and we'll fed. AS a con-
sequence the wool grown is of the
best quality, and the animals them
selves grow to large size. So ex-
cellent is the climate that that dread
OF all cattlemen and growers of hogs

tity in South Dakota
Although there seems to be an i'm
preston that all of the lands In
South Dakota have been taken up,
such Is not the case, for in the west

fine claims can still be had. Her.

Fewer Children in County.

IN Union county at present than there
was year ago. The decrease Is

towns and some Of the country pre-
cincts to Supe erintendent of Schools
HI. E. French. The total number of
people Of school age whose homes are
in Union county is 3,343. There were
$500 last year. Consequently Union
county during the past twelve months
by some means has lost III children
of school age. There has been no
great exodus and the death rate has
not increased, yet the fact remains
that there are not as many school chill
dren In Union county as were there

ecoree Of Warriors Have Been Work
Ing on tho Railroad Grade.
Recent visitors to the Pine Ridge
reservation, where more than one
quarter Of the Indians belonging to
the Sioux nation reside, report that
the Indians are generally In very
prosperous condition.
Scores Of the warriors have been
working on the grade for the Mis-
souri, river-Black Hills extension Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad. They are reported to do
good work at grading and shoveling,
and there is a great demand for them
as section men on the railroads
which have lines running in the vi
cinity OF their reservation.
Everywhere on the Pine Ridge res
ervation dams and irrigation bitches

bor One gentleman who travelled
over the reservation states there are
more good roads on the reservation
than In any state west of the Missis-
sippi river. The alloting agents are
ing farms to Indians who desire to in
the future give their attention. to
farming and stock raising instead of
remaining In idleness, as has been
the custom in the past.
The Indians on the reservation are
rapidly becoming extensive cattle
raisers, as Is shown by the fact that
during the year ending June 80 Of
this year the government purchased
from the Indians on the Pine Ridge
reservation alone an aggregate of
100000 pounds Of beef, the Indians
having furnished about half of the
amount required, the remainder hav-
Ing been secured from white con-
tractors.
1t is expected that during the COM
ing year the government will pur-
chase from the Pine Ridge Indians
an aggregate Of fully 100000 pounds
of beef. The Indians receive an av-
erage Of s35 to $45 per head for the
cattle they sell the government They
make a good profit at this figure, as
feed for the animals costs them moth

Recently the sum Of s25000 was
distributed among the Pine Ridge
Indians by the government, this be-
ing an annuity payment due them.
In addition to this many thousands OF
dollars will be distributed among

UNCLE SAM MAY LOSE BUILDING.
Fine Federal Property 10 Bought q
Tax Sale.


The controversy over the recent sale
Of the handsome government building
In Sioux Falls for taxes continues to
attract attention. The question now
Is, will Thomas Scanlan, a wealthy
Sioux Falls capitalist, succeed in Sc
curing control of the building as the
result Of having bid In the property at
tax sale.
Friends Of Mr. Scanlan jokingly
state that he has not fully determined
whether, when he secures possession
Of the building, he will transform 1t
into an Office building or consent to
rent 1t to Uncle Sam rather than turn
the old gentleman out into the street.
The building involved In the unique
controversy was erected at a cost of
SITS, 900. Some time ago the city coun-
Gil ordered East Twelfth street graded.
The government building is situated
on the corner of Twelfth street and
Phillips avenue, with a frontage Of
about 100 feet on Twelfth street.
When the special assessment for the
Improvement was made a part of the
taxation records the matter was laid
before the department Of justice at
Washington by the custodian Of the
building. The department promptly
turned down" the assessment, main
tanning that government property was
not subject to taxation OF any charac-

OLD FERRY QUITS WORK.
Boat Has Served at Pierre Since
Ante-Railroad Days.


The old steam ferry, Jim Leighton,
which has done duty as a transfer
at Pierre since before the coming Of
the railroads in 1880, is at last out Of
commission. From this time on the
boat will be used In railroad work
alone, leaving the ferry privileges to
the gasoline boats.
This was brought about by an
agreement In which the gasoline
boatmen agree to construct a landing
below the railroad bridge and save
the company the work of operating
the draw a number of times every
day to let them through. For this
privilege they withdraw from the
ferry business and put the boat at
work in transferring material.
This boat has been rebuilt several
times inrthe last quarter of a century
and has carried thousands Of cattle
for shipment to the Eastern market.
Earlier than that was the regular
transfer boat for the Black Hills
stages and freight For nearly twen-
ty years of the time it was in opera

known of the old river men, was in

close of the fiscal year ending June

for their beef, which is raise of
about 20 cents a hundred above the
price of last year.
