HANDS GO UP LOADED.

When Hold-Up Man Rifles Pockets,
Victim slugs Him With Stone.
Dave Wallace, county grading con-
tractor, was held up at Yankton. and
was told to throw up his hands, which
he promptly did. It SO happened, how
ever, that he had stumbled over q
stone Just before he was halted. He
stopped and picked 1t up to throw It
aside when he was commanded to
throw up his hands. When the robber
started to go through his victims pock-
cts, Mr.. Wallace brought down the
stone with such force as to knock the
man senseless. Unfortunately while
Mr.. Wallace was going short distance
for help the hold-up man recovered
sufficiently to crawl away and in the
darkness to escape.

&c Discovery" is not so good for
acute coughs arising from sudden
colds, nor must it be expected to
cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that
but for all the obstinate hang-on,
or chronic coughs, which, if neg
lected, or badly treated, lead up to
consumption, It Is the best med
icine that can be taken.
It's an insult to your intelli-
gence for dealer to endeavor to
palm off upon you some nostrum
of nnknowu composition in place Of
DR.. Pierce's world-famed medicines
which are OF KNOWN CONGESTION.
Most dealers recommend Doctor
Pierce's medicines because they
know what they are made Of and
that the ingredients employed are
among the most valuable that a
medicine for like purposes can be
made Of. The same is true Of
leading physicians who do not hes
itate to recommend them, since
they know exactly what they con-
tain and that their ingredients are
the very best known to medical
science for the cure of the several
diseases for which these medicines
are recommended.
With tricky dealers It Is diff
ferent.
Something else that pays them 9
little greater profit will be urged
upon you as ujust as good, /" or even
better. You can hardly afford to
accept a substitute Of nnknOwn COM
position and without any particular
record of cures in place Of Doctor
Pierce's medicines which are OF
KNOWN COMPOSITION and have a
record of forty years Of cures behind
them. You know what you want
and it is the dealers business to
supply that want. Insist upon Il

Uncle Sam considerate.

Because James Colgan of Oelrichs,
s. D., showed conclusively that he on
several occasions had been compelle 4
to leave his claim and go elsewhere in
search OF health, leaving only his wife
in charge, the interior department at
Washington has decided that his prov
ing up was entirely legal. The home
stead proof had been contested before
the local land Office by others who
sought to have it cancelled. The reg
lister and receiver of the United States
land Office at Rapid City decided in
Colgan's favor, but the commissioner
of the general land office reversed this
and is now overruled.

Turned Out Well.
Thomas Hurkes owns 400 acres OF
land near Castlewood. He is one OF
the fortunate South Dakota farmers.
AS the result of an incident last
spring he finds himself several thou
sand dollars to the good. in a most
unexpected manner. Last spring when
putting in his crops he sowed 12O
acres OF oats. The seed, however, fall
ed to terminate, and as q last resort.
rather than let the land remain idle,
he sowed the tract to barley late in
the season. The crop now has been
threshed and Hurkes was astonished
to find that it yielded an. average of
thirty bushels per acre, making the
crop one OF the most valuable raised
on his farm this season, considering
the prevailing high price Of barley.

PLAN WELL WATER POWER.
BY Tapping Earth on High Land
Streams Can Be Brought to City.

Streams Can Be Brought to City.
A unique proposition for further de-
velopment OF the power to be obtained
from artesian wells is projected for
Pierre. Up to the present all the pow
er secured has been through the use
Of the gas which comes with the water,
and no attempt has been made to Sc
cure power from the water itself. The
plan proposed is to sink wells on the
high land north Of the city which lies
several hundred feet above the river;
to turn the streams down the ravines
after the gas is taken out, and to use
the flow of water to generate power in
addition to the gas power secured. Up
to the present the wells sunk there
have all been near the river, and there
has not been enough fall to the waste
to generate power.

A NARROW ESCAPE
Matthias Schultz, Living Near
Albany, Run Into By Pas
Senger Train
Especial to The Herald |

ALBANY, MINI, Oct. 1. Matthias
Schultz, who lives four miles north of
this village, narrowly escaped death
last Saturday night.
Mr.. Schultz had driven to St. Cloud
and as he was returning home and
presumably asleep, his horses, instead
of keeping the road, took the Great
Northern railroad track and had gone
about half mile when the evening
local struck them. One horse was in
stantly killed and the other seriously
injured, while the rig was demolished.
Mr.. Schultz was thrown ten feet
through the air. The train was
stopped and Mr.. Schultz was taken
aboard, brought to Albany and taken
to his mothers home. A physician
was called and made a thorough
examination of the injured man but
found no bones broken. The patient,
however, was found to be suffering
from confusion of the spine. 1t will
be several weeks before Mr.. Schultz
will be out again. His escape from
instant death is regarded as mira
culous.

SHE LIKES KISSES
Dainty Little Jap Maiden Finds
1t Hard to Say No to a Nice
Young Man

She was japanese college student,
little and thin, but very graceful in
her Paris gown.
"The kiss" she said, blushing
family, twas unknown in Japan fifty
years ago. Now, among the aristo-
cracy, it is becoming quite renowned.
Some of my people love the kiss.
"Yet it comes as a great shock at
first. 1t is so different you know,
from anything in a Japanese girls
experience. 1 have known maidens
who tainted at first kiss that was.
perhaps, too warmly rendered. Yet
these very maids became afterwards
ardent advocates of the new western
embrace.
Cranky, 1 like the kiss myself.
Its stimulus, its fragrance and the
feeling, as of red satin when mouth
touches mouth with a warm, soft
shock-yes, frankly, like the kiss,
and 1 find it extremely difficult to
deny an eager young man so innocent
and so delightful an embrace"

jim MARTIN LEAVES
Well Known St. Cloud Lawyer
Goes to st. Paul to Enter
Into a Lucrative PART
nerShip

Jas. A. Martin, the we'll known
Stearns county lawyer, politician and
all round good fellow, is about to leave
the Stearns county seat town for the
Minnesota state capital where he has
formed law partnership with Walter
T. Lemon. The story was given pub
Lefty in last Saturdays issue of the
St. Cloud Journal Press.
"Sunny Jim" Martin is too we'll
known hereabouts to necessitate a
lengthy biographical sketch. He is a
Stearns county boy and has made his
way up through the sheer force of his
Unborn ability. As a politician he has
made his mark. He has served on
the state republican committee at
different times and his conduct OF
political campaigns has shown that he
is a master OF the art. Mr.. Martin held
the office of postmaster at St. Cloud
for a time but resigned during the
recent sixth district congressional
campaign so that he might be free to
act as he pleased politically. Con-
gresham Lindbergh owes his election
to Mr.. Martin as much as to any one
man in the district.
At the close of this now memorable
campaign Mr.. Martin announced his
intention to retire from politics and
devote himself to the practice OF law.
During the few months that he has
been in practice in st. Cloud Mr..
Martin has built up good business,
but the opening in st. Paul is much
better. The firm of Martin & Lemon
will be one of the strong Illegal firms OF
the capital city. The best wishes Of
Mr.. Martins many Sank Centre
friends 60 with him to his new field
of labor.

AFTER THE CLUBS
Attorney General Young Rules
That They Must Take Out
Liquor Licenses

Attorney General E. I. Young is
after the private clubs with a sharp
stick. A recent ruling of his is that
if these select organizations want to
sell drinks to their members they
must take out licenses just the same
as an ordinary, everyday saloon.
Lodges are also included in the
ruling.
The Minnesota Club of St. Paul, gen
orally considered the most exclusive
organization of its kind in the state,
has a drink recfectory for members
only, of course. A member can drink
as much booze inside the sacred pre-
cincts of this swell club as he desires,
provided he pays for it. The club
pays only a nominal fee. This fact
was called to the attention OF the at.
torney general and he promptly ruled
that the club must take out a city
license at the cost of 81 900 year.
The attorney general claims that the
club sells whiskey at the same price
that saloons do and should pay the
same license. The members of the
club have determined to fight the
opinion and will take the matter into
the courts and make test case.
This case, if sustained, will mean
that similar organizations in smaller
cities will be affected as we'll. ST
Cloud has large and thriving lodge
of Elks and just at present, according
to advices received here by grapevine
telegraph, this bunch of the "Best
People On Earth" is on nettles fol-
fear they will have t., eliminate the
booze branch of the order or pay big
money for city license. Willmar is
similarly situated, having lodge OF
the same order. The progress of tine
case is being watched with interest.

w. N. A. Circle Meets

Beginning their seventh year, the
w. N. A. Circle held their first meet
ing Tuesday afternoon with Miss
Emma Stiles at the home of her
parents five miles west of the city.
Though the weather was uninviting it
did not deter the ladies in their effort
to make this one of the most enjoyable
meetings yet held. In this they were
aided greatly by Mr.. and Mrs. Stiles,
and the warmth and cheer with which
they we're received amply repaid the
members for any anxiety or incon-
venience that had marked their
"going."
After the four o'clock lunch was
served-which was exceptionally in.
viting-there was an interesting
business meeting held wherein some
questions we're amicably settled and
considerable other business done and
undone.
The coming meeting will be with
Mrs. Billed, and will, on account of the
county fair, be set over one week, but
the intention is to meet weekly there
after
