YOUNG MAN
TURNS FORGER AND
Is NOW A FUGITIVE

Sioux Falls, S. D., june 21.-What
forging and cashing cheeks on his en-
ployer TO the known amount of $3.50,
Grant Shields has left the city and Is
now a fugitive from justice.
Young Shields was employed in the
mechanical department Of the Pope
Manufacturing company. where he has
been regarded as a trustworthy as well
as an efficient workman. outside of the
factory he always appeared well
dressed and was Of a disposition to
make friends easily. Last Saturday af-
ternoon he got possession Of Mr.. Pope's
check book, and this proved his I'M
doing. The checks which he forged in
his favor were readily cashed by Wa
tertown merchants who knew that Mr..
Pope settled his bills through his bank,
and ii was not until this morning when
the bogus checks reached the bank in
EsteLine that the forgery was discov-
cred. In the meantime Mr.. Shields had
fled. Police headquarters at once sent
out descriptions of the missing man
and last night Winnipeg wired that the
officers there are holding a man an
swering his descriptions, and an Off
Ger Will leave for there at once.

FIRST TIME THIS YEAR

Huron, s. d.. June 21.-The o%ficiai'
summary of weather and crop condi-
lions in South Dakota for the week.
.ndlnG June Il, follows:
The . temperature was about
FORMAL. 1t was below the normal until
he latter part of the week, when warm.
weather prevailed. The maximum tenn
perature on Saturday reached or ex-
toeded 90 degrees in some places. The
highest temperature, 90 degrees, oc-
CURED at Pierre, Hughes county, on
Saturday, and the lowest 43 degrees, at
Mellette, Sphinx county, on Thursday.
The local minimum temperature was
slightly below so degrees over the
northern portion of the state. and
slightly above 80 owe the southern por-
ton.
The rainfall was above the normal
in the Black Hills district and also over
some of the eastern counties. Fair
weather prevailed the early part of the
week, but showers occurred on and aft
er Wednesday, the amount of rainfall
being generous in some places on Fri
day and Saturday.
There was less than the normal
amount of sunshine, especially after
Wednesday, but on the whole, fairly
good growing weather prevailed. The.
soil Is amply moist generally. The cur
rent rains, added to the copious pre-
cipitation of the preceding week, made
considerable low land too wet and
Hooded some bottom lands adjacent to
water courses. A damaging hail storm
occurred in Pennington county. There
was some high vino after Thursday.

ton" stands alone as being the only
medicine for woman's special ailments
which has anysuch professional endorse
ment of its several ingredients which
fact is generally recognized as entitled
to much more weight than any amount

ing physicians often prescribe it because,
they know exactly what it is made OF
and that the ingredients of which it is
composed are the very best known to
medical science for the cure of woman's
peculiar weaknesses and delicate
ailments.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is not

fulflls a singlcness Of purpose, being q
superior and most positive remedy for one
class OF diseases ~only-those easily recog-

women. 1t Is a powerful, yet gently act

regulating all the womanly functions,
banishing pain and bringing about a reg.

LIVES SAVED BY
FLOATING AGAINST
A FRIENDLY TREE

WATERFOWL, S. D., June 21.-After
came ear being a fatality in connec-
ton with the high water that has pre-
vailed throughout the Sioux valley for
the past week took place a few miles
east Of his city.
Ole Peterson, a farmer, who resides
near Valley Springs accompanied by a
~15-year-old daughter, started to drive
TO Sioux Falls. When about half way
across a bridge over a ravine the horses
became unmanageable and packed the
buggy off the bridge dumping the oc-
cCp&nts into deep water. Luckily the
current carried father and daughter
under a tree whose branches were but
u short distance above the water. Mr..
Peterson after some effort was able to
place his daughter astride q limb of the
Tree, In a place of temporary safety.
He then turned his attention TO the
horses which had also been carried by
the current down against the tree. With
a pocket knife he cut the harness so the
horses were freed from the buggy and
they swan to shore.
MI. Peterson then returned to his
aughter, who was pretty we'll fright
ened. After remaining In the branches
pr the tree for forty-five minutes Mr..
Peterson succeeded in attracting the at
tention of a farmer, who went to
Brandon about a mile away and pro-
curing a boat returned and rescued
Peterson and his daughter. This for
ner passed through the ordeal all right.

NERVOUS COLLAPSE
is OFTEN PREVENTED BY On,
WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
Taken When the First Warning Symp
toms Are Noticed Much Needless
SUFFERING May Sc Saved,

Are you troubled with pallor, loss of
spirits, waves of heat passing over the
body, shOrtness of breath after slight
exertion, a peculiar skipping of the
heart beat, poor digestion, cold extremi-
ties or a feeling of weight and fullness?
Do not make the mistake of thinking
that these are diseases in themselves
and be satisfied with temporary relief.
This is the way the nerves give warn
ing that they are breaking down. 1t
simply mean that the blood has become
impure and cannot carry enough nourish-
ment to the nerve to keep them healthy
and able to do their work.
Rest, alone, will sometimes give the
needed relief. The tonic treatment by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, however, pre-
vents the final breakdown of the nerves
and the more serious diseases which
follow, because the pills act directly
upon the impure blood, making it rich,
red and prre.

The Story of q Medicine.

It's name-"Golden Medical Discovery"
was suggested by one Of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-refined glycerine, aided by a GER
tain degree Of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for hat purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed Golden Medical Discovery" for
the euro Of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia. torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred arrangements was first made, as
IL ever SINCE has been, without a particle
OF alcohol IN its maRe-up.

TO READERS OF THE
HOME JOURNAL:

Did you read the article published by The Ladies Home Journal
In May 1904, attacking DR.. Perces Favoite Prescription? Have
you seen the statement more recently made by Mr.. Box, the Editor Of
that magazine that his company "has not paid a single penny to DR..
X. Y. Pierce's concern x :" r in settlement Of any suit" +? We
wish you to know the truth. The facts are these:
Four days after the article in May 1904, appeared, DR.. Pierce's
company sued The Ladies Home Journal publishers for libel. The
trial was had in April last. DR.. Pierce proved that the attack made by
The Ladies' Home Journal was false. He proved that DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription dos n0t and ne5rr did contain either alcohol or any
of the injurious drugs which The Ladies Home Journal falsely stated
it did contain. This was so conclusivey shown that the attorneys for
The Ladies' Home Journal ae,r forced TO admit it, The jury rendered
a verdict against The Ladies Home Journal in favor of DR.. Pierce's
company for SIC 900. This was a complete vndication OF Doctor
Pierce and his "Favorte Prescription" 1t judiciany established that
the libel was aOhoHy false, and without any justification.
DR.. Pierce, however, believed that his company is justly entitled
to a verdict for a much larger sum. Through his attorneys he has,
therefore, applied to the court for a new trial of the case. For this
reason. and for this reason alone, has The Ladies Home Journal not
yet paid ia single penny to DR.. r. Y. Perce's concern" Dr.. Pierce
has simply chosen not to collect the judgment until the motion for a
new trial has been decided.
In the light of these facts does not this boastful statement that it
whas not paid a single penny to DR.. r. V. Pierces concern " look like
a cheap and common bluff, a half truth intended to mlslead you
