the election. which was to decide
whether that section of the county just
outside the city limits should be wet
or dry.
Captain Norris a modern figure of
Happy Jack Falstaff, bet that the citi-
zens of that neighborhood were of good
cheer and that wet would be the heavy
vote of the election.
The younger man bet for dry neigh
borhood and both candidates after set
tling upon a mile course decided that
the loser should wheel the winner over
the course in a wheelbarrow.
AS the captain weighs much, Gar
wood worked hard In the dry interests
in order that he would not have to do
the heavy work.
The dry won by siXty-five votes and
it was up to the captain to do the
wheeling. Old Papa Vivian, keeper of
the county store of the neighborhood,
delivered the opening address, waving
a corkscrew in one hand and shouting
aloud as his listeners applauded.
1t was a fine speech, after which the
celebraters had a few glasses of wet
goods and Captain Morris, thus forti-
fled, started ON the work.
The course ended at the Baptist
church. and from the yells of the crowd
the minister, Rev. Gould, came out and
delivered an address on the worthy OBJ
ject of the bet.
Thereupon all the celebrants went
back to Vivian's and had some more
wet goods and the celebration was

TOWNS ONE WOMAN
SELECTS A HUSBAND
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald i"t
WATERTOWN, S. D., Nov. 10.-Miss
Emma Sheppard, the only woman in the
town of Florence, now being built on
the Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad,
has made a selection from the male
population and has taken a husband.
There were great doings in honor Of
the event the entire town. including
the rejected suitors, Joining in the cele

Little Cupid carried on his machina-
tions to the accompaniment of rattling
dishes and the incense of ham and eggs,
but his arrows were none the less
deadly. This young woman now signs
herself Mrs w. P. Austin.''
When the town was first started and
horde of men thronged there, living
in tents and whatever they could get
to shelter them, Athe cry was for food
Miss Sheppard saw her opportunity.
She was an eastern woman, delicate,
and just out of cultured associations.
The rough conditions daunted her for
moment, but back in Iowa We're pa

had expended their means in giving her
an education.
She had taken a course in cooking
and domestic economy at Ames col

The result was that the delicate ar
tistry of her cuisine was so attractive
that the denizens of the boom town
fiocked to her table with an enthusi-
asm that would have put to shame the
sated diners at expensive city restau-
rants.
Then began the hot rivalry among
the single men of the town for her
hand.
Fully third of the population was
in the hunt, but Austin proved ire
sistible and to the accompaniment of
rattling dishes and the sweetening in
fiuence of the steaming coffee the
sweet and tender condolences were ex-
changed.
The couple came to Watertown to
see circus, but the performance proved
a mere incident, and when they re-

The disappointed suitors for the
hand of Miss Sheppard have accepted
their defeat gracefully and still eat at
Mrs. Austins table, mingling their con-
gratulations with their orders for ham

CLARK TELLS NEVADA PLANS
If GreenWater Mines Produce Well
Extension Is Certain

Extension Is Certain
President J. Ross Clark of the Las
Vegas and Tonopah line says:
while plans are in contemplation
for the building of a railroad from
Amargosu to Greenwater,, where
Charles Schwab,~ Senator Clark and
myself and others are interested in
mining properties, there will be no i'm
mediate steps taken toward the con-
struction of the proposed line.
Mr.. Schwab and my brother Sem
ator Clark, have been making a trip
of inspection over the line, visiting
Beatty, Goldfeld Amargosa, Green
water and other mining centers.
"It is planned to build branch line
from the Las Vegas road at Amargosa
to Greenwater, but l cannot say when
work on the project will be started 1t
will not be, however, until the mining
warrant the expenditure of the money
for the construction of the road.
1.-The distance is about forty nine
miles, and at the present time the trip
is made by wagon, hauling the ore to
the trains at Amargosa.
"Our present plan is to push the con-
struction of the projected extension of
the Las Vegas & Tonopah railroad from
Beatty to Goldfield.
Surveys to the latter point have been
taken and grading for the new tracks
is now under way.
Meantime while work on building
the railroad line toward Tonopah is
being carried on, the mines in the
Greenwater vicinity will be worked,
and if the output subsequently proves
all that we expect we will then con-
struct the proposed line from Amargo-
sa to that place"

Tricked by Dyspepsia
The Doctor Couldn't Tell Where
the Trouble Lay.

For the past seven years have
been victim of dyspepsia and chronic
constipation and have consulted the
most noted specialists to be found ON
diseases of this character. None, how
ever, seemed to locate +ile difficulty
or give relief. In addition to this med
ical treatment, 1 have resocted to the
use of many remedies ana have given
them faithful trial. but ell to no pur-
pose.
Upon the recommendation OF
close friend, I purchased 3 900 mack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Hablets agd
in less than five days nOLlced that
was receiving more benefit than from
any remedy L had used before. con-
tinued to use the tablets after each
meal for one month and by that time
my stomach was in a healthy condi-
tion, capable of dgesting anything
which my increasing appetite demand
ed.
st have not experienced any return
of my former trouble, though three
months have elapsed since taking your
remedy"
We wish that you could see with
your own eyes the countless other
bona fide signed letters from grateful
men and women all over the land who
had suffered years of agony with dys-
pepsia, tried every known remedy and
consulted eminent specialists without
result, until they gave Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets trial. Like the doe
tor above. they couldn't locate the
seat of the trouble.
Dyspepsia is a disease which has
long baffled physicians. So difficult
of location is the disease that cure
seems next to miraculous. There is
only one way to treat dyspepsia--to
supply the elements which nature has
ordained to perform this function and
to cause them to enter the digestive
organs, supplying the fluids which
they lack. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's alone fill these requirements, as
is shown by the fact that 10000 ply
sicians in the United States and Can
ada unite in recommending them to
their patients for stomach disorders.
We do not claim or expect Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets to cure anything
but disordered conditions of the stom-
ach and other digestive organs, but
this they never fail to do. They work
upon the inner lining of the stomach
and intestines, stimulate the gastric
glands and aid in the secretion OF
juices necessary to digestion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 90 cents a box.
One box viii frequently effect a per
feet cure II In doubt and wish moro
adequate proof send US your name and
address and we win gladly mail you

INTO MEXICO, THEN INTO YUMA
Southern Pacific Awaits Only Material
to Start Work

AS soon as material can be secured
the Southern Pacific Railroad company
Will begin work on the completion of
the loop on it's main line from Imperial
junction down into Mexico and back
to Yuma.
Work on the construction of the line
was halted owing to the floods which
swept from the Colorado into the Sail
ton sink and completely inundated the
roadbed.
At the present time the distance be-
tween Imperial and Yuma is sixty-five
miles by the road. The new line ex-
tending into Mexico will Iengthen the
route somewhat, but will do away with
many of the heavy grades. Time,
therefore, will be shortened.

in obtaining enough raw material even
from these animals the manufacturers
at times find difficulty.

know THAT there are millions of musi-

"AnotheE amazing thing is that
there are over 700 different grades of

increasing every year, especially In
the South and in Mexico. The'e are
more guitar strings sold in Mexico
than any other kind but through the

The world waits for the ethical man.
Hesitation of the sons of God. DR.. Chas.
E. jefferson, in his sermon on "The
Ohu'ch of the Living Goo" says that
the church, has something better to do
than THE solving of all the great social
problems that like so many frogs came
up out of the Nile of modern civiliza-
ton to plague us; that the business of
the church is to set the human heart
right Exactly. But inasmuch as this
Nile of modern civilization is a Chris
tian Nile and these froglike problems
50 many times spring out of the hearts
of men supposedly already set right by
the church,, we have a sure evidence,
not that we have failed, but that we are
not through with our task. To set the
human heart right, that is the problem;
but this will never be done by crushing
the prophet function of the ministry in
order to emphasize the evangelistie.
The church is filed with men and wo-
men who need ethical training and an
enlarged conception of the meaning of
Christianity. We are not to be always
saving and never teaching; if so, we
Will nevd' save. We are called to fight
as we'll as to drill. Our supe.lative need
now is a loftier ethical life in pulpit
and pew, based on clear understand
ing of the fact that character counts
