STRONG TESTIMONY
This is Mitchell Testimony and Will
:. Stand Investigation.

If you doubt the following and
wish to investigate, you haven't to
go to some other State in the Union
to prove it. It's not a long story
published in Mitchell newspapers
about a resident in Kalamazoo, Mich,
or Tampa, Fla. It's about a resident
of Mitchell and. given in Mitchell's
own words. No stronger proof can
be had.
Mrs. Mary E. Perry, living at Ill
w. Eleventh ST., Mitchell, S. D.,
says: cit is impossible for me to ex-
press my gratitude to Doan's Kid
'ney Pills as l feel that they have
kept life in me. For over two years,
when everything failed and the doc
tor said that 1 must die, they helped
me wonderfully. My kidney COM
plant was no doubt inherited, as
have suffered from it since 1 was a
small girl. l was told I had Bright's
Disease in an acute form and the doc
ltor gave me up to the grave. My
limbs had become so badly swollen
as a result Of this disease, that
could not move and sometimes would
have to be turned owe in bed, as
seemed to have no strength at all.
There seemed to be a retention of
the kidney secretions and l was in
Ia badly run down condition, when
my husband procured a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills for me at Diehl &
Browns Drug Store. l used them &C
cording to directions and it is with
pleasure that I can say they did me
much good. l now feel better than
I have in years and I am glad to give
Doan's Kidney Pills my endorsement
After every remedy had failed t
reach my case Doan's Kidney Pills
snatched me out of the grave"

DIPn1HERIA IN HOGS
Animals Are Dying Of What is Sup
posed to be Diphtheria-o. T.,
o.... r..4 1oa
Greene lost 1893.

A new disease has appeared ambng
the hogs in this immediate section,
which is supposed to be diphtheria
and a great many animals have
already died of. The disease appears
first in the throat and has the effect
of CHOKING the hogs. Charles T..
Greene, living near here, has lost
1877 hogs in the past two weeks our
of 200 head, while other farmers
report nearly as heavy losses. Many
efforts.have been made to check the
disease hut so far nothing has been
found that will have any effect on
the animals. Should the disease
spread to any great extent in this
county the loss will amount to.a.great
deal of money, for there are an i'm
mense number of hogs heine raised
here this season, which are now
/ ready for the fail market

ABOUT The SAME ALL OVER
Both Big Railroad Systems in the
State Have Trouble Making
Schedule Time Now.

People living on the Milwaukee
system up through this section Of
the state are finding a great deal
Of fault with the delayed train
service that has been a pretty regu-
lar thing. AS an example Of the
proper way to run trains On time
they quote the Northwestern road
as a model, and we have beard it
stated times without number that
the North Western road rarely was
late with its trains up through this
section Of the state.
When you get a report from towns
ON the North Western system there
is something of a difference aud
those people will quote the Milwau-
kee road as an example Of keeping
close to the schedule. And this is
how the Huron Huronite touches
up the North Western road for
running It's trains so late:
Instead of getting better, train
service on the Dakota Central
division Is getting worse. Com
plants are made by nearly every
town along the line and travelling
men and travellers generally are
putting up a terrible vail. PIerra
correspondents to the daily press
blame the superintendent Of the
Dakota division, but probably do 50
unadvisedly. Someone, however, 10
responsible and a good policy would
be to revise the time table and
change the arrival and departure OF
passenger trains along this division,
making the schedule time about
three hours later for all passenger
trains and then run them on time.
Passengers dislike to 60 to the depots
and walt around half q day and part
Of the night. Wher q train Is sched-
ulde to arrive and depart at .
certain hour they like to have 1t 20.
The, trains never wait for passengers
II they AREA minute. late, and the
public does not SegTwhy 1t should
have to wait for trains. Cattle
seem to have ,thA right Of way and
the crowded mass Of humanity that
travels In the Dakotas are told
to wait or walk. We need better
service more than We need Tlo yer
rates. " &

THE WEATHER VARIABLE
Warm Days and Cool Nights Have
Been the Rule During the
Month Just Closed

= September weather in South Da-
kota has generally been very pleasant
in character, but the one that has
just passed into history did not keep
up to the old record, and cool and
avariable weather has resulted. The
absence OF sunshine has been
particularly noticed, the clear Gays
having been very few.
The warmest day of the month
was on the 9Th, when the thermom-
eter touched at 81. The coolest day
Of the month was on the 2Sth. when
the thermometer registered ate %,
and on which date we got the first
frost Of the season.
The amount of precipitation that
came during the month was 2.5e
inches, the heaviest rain coming on
the 10th, when 1.39 inches fell.
Tha. the sunshine did not get a
chance to do much work during the
month is shown by the fact that II
days were partly cloudy, three were
cloudy and there we're 10 clear days.
There was quite a range Of tenn
perature during the month, and
for IA days the mercury travelled a
distance of from 80 to al, from hot
to cold.

Every Man His Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to en-
ploy a physician for every slight ailment
or injury that may occur in his family,
nor can he afford to neglect them, as so
slight an injury as the scratch of a pin
has been known to cause the loss of a
limb. Hence every man must from
necessity be his own doctor for this class
of ailments. Success often depends
upon prompt treatment, which can only
be had when suitable medicines are
kept at hand. Chamberlain's Remedies
have been in the market for many years
and enjoy a good reputation.

rhoea Remedy for bowel complaints.
