Mr.. Robinson is a historian of note,
and as the head of the state historical
society is constantly engaged in that
line of work. His history of the Sioux
Indians is the result of careful person
al investigation and along original
lines. Besides this work, he has writ
ten other historical works devoted to
South Dakota and the Northwest.
The census of 1905 was taken under
his personal direction. and with a
small appropriation he has secured bet
ter results for the state than many 9TH
ers in other states have secured with
a far larger appropriation to work
from: this by a large amount of per.
SOnal effort. He for a number OF years
was engaged in newspaper work, ana
in that line at the present he is pre-
pairing statistical data to be used by
the papers of the state as an induce
ment toward securing immigration 10
South Dakota.
Beside his news and statistical work
he is the author of many verses of
merit.

MANY HOMESEEkERS.
Three Hundred Carloads Of immigrants
Have Arrived in South Dakota This

rave Arrived nv OOUti Cdnotd iH'S
Year.
During the past ten days heavy
trains of immigrants and their o
ables have arrived at Huron from
Eastern and Southwestern states. They
are sent over tho branches of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railway to their
destinations. which is chiefly to the
north and west. Many of those going
west are homescekers who are enter
ing government lands west of the Mis-
souri, river. Not a few, however, find
desirable locations on lands in Hyde,
Sully and Potter counties. Those re-
naming in this immediate locality are
settling on farms purchased prior TO
their arrival. and they come with i'm
plenents and stock and household
goods.
Altogether these newcomers are a
fine looking lot of people-mOstly prac-
tical farmers and well prepared for the
experiences that await them in this
land of golden opportunities"
At least 800 carloads of this class of
citizens have come into these parts
since the first of the present year. In
dications are that the tide has only
moderately commenced, for railway
officials. land dealers and others are
daily in receipt of inquiries relative to
lands. transportation, etc. and not a
day passes that does not see crowds
of new settlers and h~omeseekers
thronsing railway platforms.
Not since the memorable boom "pe.
ROD OF the SOS has there been such
an influx of people as is now being eX-
periencei in this section OF the state.
AS to the settlement of government
lands there is a growing disposition on
the part of young people TO enter home
steads, and towns throughout this part
of the state are sending large numbers
of young men and women out onto the
lands west. 1t is surprising how large
is the number of this class, married
and single, that are making homestead
entries and following in the footsteps
of the pioneers of 1S7S.1SS3.
Government land Offices in various
parts of the state are about the bust.

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
herbs were STEPPED on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the meoi-
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 a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877. by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money TO com

that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Negc.

hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
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 as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful tOpre-

her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received

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 a vast collabora.
ton 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 it's origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia K. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work and
probably from the Office of no other
person have so many women been adj
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-

Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink

great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble
woman whose name it bears.

Doane Robinson to Give Data to South

Doane Robinson, secretary OF the
state historical society, and superin.
tendent of census and vital statistics,
is a native of WISCONSIN and came to
Dakota Territory twenty-five years
ago, since which time he has been ac-
tive in many ways in the upbuilding
Of the territory and state of South Da-
kota. He is constantly at work for the
interests of the state, and in hat line
is probably the best posted man on the
of the state that lives within
her borders. Most of this work has
been done without any compensation
other than that of seeing the material
prosperity of the state in which he las
assisted.
