In view of the fact that the Repub-
lican county committee of Brule coun-
ty aid not publish the call for the re-
cent county convention at the full
time provided for in the new caucus
law, and the question having been
raised that this might affect the le-
gality of the Republican county ticket,
as a party ticket, County Auditor G..
C. Duncan on Sept. 10 requested an
opinion from Attorney General Hall
on tie question. This opinion has just
been received. and may be Of general
interest throughout the state. A
number of authorities are cited, the
following deduction being made:
"In determining this question 1t
must be borne in mind that the pur-
pose of the notice is to call to the at
tention of the voters the fact that
such convention would be held and to
enable them to exercise their priv
ilege of participating therein. The
statute also provides for the giving OF
ten days notice of the caucuses or
primaries at which the delegates are
to be selected to attend such conven-
tion. The purpose Of this notice is
also of the same nature. While find
no authorities bearing directly upon
the question of notice for holding
county conventions, inasmuch as
these matters are usually regulated by
custom and not by statute, yet such
notice is analogous, in degree, to a
notice of election, and the rule laid
down by courts in the case OF defec-
tive notice of election Is that where
the notice is given, although imper-
fectly, substantially accomplishes the
purpose for which 1t was assigned,

NERVOUS DEBILITY
4 Scranton Woman Tells How Or.
Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strono.

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
It is characterized by mental depression,
Ats of the "blues, or melancholy, loss
Of energy and spirits. The patient s eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane J. Davies, Of No. 314 War.
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says: "Some
years ago I became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became SO debilitated that felt
wretched. could not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as was when /
went to bed Ny head ached in the
morning and often there was pain in
my right side which was worse when
sat down. My nerves were on edge all
the time. every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable. Then
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now l have no more
pain in my side, no more headaches, ]
sleep well and feel strong and able to
do my work.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are slipping into a hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, OH
receipt of price, SO cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams

CLEAN AND ADoRN CITY.
Greater Aberdeen Club Carry On
Beautifying Campaign.

0Ca0Suysu8 S0UtPat8Us
The campaign inaugurated by the
Greater Aberdeen club to increase the
population OF the city and to advertise
its merits to the world has taken on
the form of an improvement program
which is of far-reaching effect.
Housecleaning and home and city
adornment are the slogans. Seldom IL
ever has similar civic enterprise been
witnessed. Two days were set apart
and on these two days citizens gave
themselves over to the task of clean
ing and beautifying the city. "Aber-
deem the City Beautiful" was the mot
to- Weeds were cut, streets and lawn
cleaned and improved and everything
possible done to make the city more
presentable.
The city council has decided to un-
derteke a gigantic paving and side
walk laying program. 1t has been de-
cided to pave about ten streets and
to lay Immediately cement sidewalks.

Since the pre-convention campaigns
between "insurgent" and "stalwart"
Republicans have been fought and the
conflict will soon be matter OF
South Dakota political history, the
people have commenced to discuss the
various questions which will be pre-
sented for the consideration of the
next legislature. 1t is expected, of
course, that the primary law and 9TH
er measures advocated by Mr.. Craw-
ford will engage the attention OF the
legislature to great extent, but
there are other problems to be solved
than those which have been under
discussion during the past few
months. Among these is the PROPOSE
tion to increase the membership of
the supreme court from three to five,
which may be done by the legislature
under the constitution. At present
the court consists of three members.
During the past few years, while the
state has been advancing and grow
Ing so rapidly along all lines, litiga-
tion has also correspondingly in
creased, and the present members OF
the court ind themselves confronted
by an ever-increasing volume of liti-
cation and hence there has arisen un
avoidable delay in the handing down
of decisions of the court. Some cases
have been pending as long as three
and three and half years. This con-
dition has been a detriment both to
the attorneys and the litigants. In
the face of such long delays litigants
have hesitated to appeal to the su-
preme court. especially where only a
small amount is involved, although
some important principle may be at
stake. In discussing the proposition,
no criticism Is heard of the court as

10 TEACHERS FOR SCHOOLS

Owing to the shortage of school
teachers, several schools in Gregory
county are at present without teach
ers and are closed. Notwithstanding
this condition of affairs a number OF
new school houses will be erected dur
ing the next few months in various
portions of the country. The town Of
Gregory has voted bonds in the sum
of $4,000 for the erection of a new
school building. The county treasur-
er has In his hands the sum OF $4,000
of permanent school funds, and this
entire sum will be expended in the
construction OF new country school
buildings. Four of the new buildings
will be erected in the Sully Flats sec.
tion OF the county, two in what is
known as the Turgeos neighborhood,
one west Of the town OF Herrick and
several others in other portions OF the
county. It is believed that by the
time the new school buildings are
erected the supply of teachers will be
ample.

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were STEPPED on the stove,
gradually filing gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired . Job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits Of the met +
cine, now called Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons In
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, TO q great extent,
self advertising, for whoever used IL
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam.
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success Of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia E Pinkham and her Vege.
table Compound have become house.
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu.
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia e. Pinkham herself did mot
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work q
effectively as she could have done u
herself.
During her long and eventful expe.
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her Cor advice

ing symptoms. treatment and results
were recorded for future reference. and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since. are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent . vast collabOra.
tion of information regarding the
| treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
| world.
| With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter : in law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when its origins.
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
| five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of q large family, tool

capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work. and

that it would be held sufficient in law
and the election would not be invalid
by reason of such imperfections in the
notice. Pursuing the same
course of reasoning mentioned in the
above quotations from McCreery's
work on elections, if the convention
was held and nominations we're made,
it would appear that the defect in the
notice you mentioned did not operate
to the prejudice of the voters, and
that the notice, though technically i'm
perfect, was substantially effective.
Hence do not think that 1t would be
proper to ignore the certificate OF
nominations made by the officers OF
such convention, and do believe that
the nominations SO made, IL properly

CONGRESS HAS POWER

Can Tag Appropriation in Way

Tawney Says.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Oct. misrepresentation
Tawney Of Minnesota, chairman of the
house appropriations committee, in q
letter to TIL e J Journal correspond
emit from New York, discusses further
his recent statements, recited in these
dispatches. regarding the possible hos
tility of congress to the plan Of the
canal commission to have the excava-
tions at Panama made by contract.
advertisements are running, asking for
bids for excavation on the contract ba-
sis, and says: .....z.
1.-The commission is, no doubt, right
in it's statement that it can proceed
with the construction of the canal by
contract under existing law But
whether the canal Is constructed by
contract or otherwise, congress must
appropriate the money, and can in APP
ProPriatin.g it, say how the work must
be done. The appropriations made thus
far are not, in my Judgment, available
which made, and I call attention to. the
fact that no appropriation has yet been
made for the payment Of any of the
work on the contract basis. ..a
81 do not, in what I say, desire to
appear to be criticizing commission or
differing from it on this question I
am not in possession of sufficient infor-
nation to determine whether the plan
the commission now proposes is wise or
not. This whole matter must be con-
sadered by the appropriation committee
when we appropriate the money for
canal purposes next winter. Under no
| circumstances can any contracts be let
before congress convenes. am to see
| Chairman Shonts soon, and 90 over his
plans with a view to familiarizing my.
self with them before congress
meets"
The canal commission has advertised
for bids to be opened Dec IL in this
city for construction by contract, and it
| is believed there will be bidders moi
only from United States, but from sew.
eral European countries The adver.
| tisements have had wide circulation,
Mr.. Tawney's non-committal attitude
suggests that it is the intention of con.
gress to go into the contract question
very thoroly before it permits the work
to be done in that way.
