UNUNIF0RM MEDICINES.
Wide Geographical Distribution and Age
Make Drugs Undesirable.

SO, because any man, however igno-
rant, with any motive, however ignoble,
may manufacture and sell any of the
$4,000 compounds known to organic
chemistry and may allege for them what
curative powers he WILL and because
too, of this unlimited opportunity for
fraud among the older drugs, il becomes
q matter of no surprise TO learn that
at the present time among the great
number of firms manufacturing RENE.
dial agencies there is the greatest eon-
ceivable diversity in science, sincerity
and wisdom.
These drugs come from the uttermost
parts of the earth-from the dani, for
ests OF Brazil, from the frozen Siberian
steppes, from the banks Of the gray
green, greasy Limpopo river, all set about
with fever-trees," or from "silken Sam
arkand"; but almost everywhere they
are gathered BY barbsTous peoples, the
lowest Of earth's denizens. 1t is small
wonder. then, that with any one plant
there should be variation among it's
individual specimens in the proportion Of
the active medicinal agent it contains.
But when we add to this the fact that,
In general terms, the per cent Of the
active ingredient depends on the amount
of sunshine it enjoys, on the time Of the
year it is gathered, even on the time Of
the day, on the amount Of moisture, the
elevation, the character OF the soil, and
a dozen other factors, il becomes almost
a necessity Of thought that the amount
of medicine" IN that plant must vary
from a maximum to nothing at all
A mans wife goes brayely down to
the gates Of death to pass through, or,
if it may hap. to come slowly back,
bearing radiantly with her the flaming
torch Of another life. Ergot is required.
Now, ergot is fungus growing upon
rye, where it destroys and displaces the
ovary of the plant. Ii comes from Rus
STA, Austria, Spain, Sweden, and where
not; its chemical analysis does not seem
to yield reliable information, for its ac-
tive constituents are not definitely un-
derstood. Finally, the physiological ac-
tiYity of the drug may be good, or lit
tie, or zero, just as it may chance, while
after the lapse Of year it becomes
unfit for use. Yet ii Is to this substance,
SO utterly variable, that the physician
must trust the life Of the woman and

MUST BEAR THE o S

A committee from the Commercial
club at Watertown recently visited
Mr.. Earling, of the Milwaukee, in re-
gard to the Milwaukee, proposed ex-
tension to WATERFOWL. Mr.. Stokes
was the chairman of the committee
and did talking for WATERFOWL and
upon the conclusion of his remarks he
was told by Mr. Earling that he Mil
waukee would build no more road in
South Dakota; that present Legislature
had made it plain to the railroads
that this state was unfriendly to them,
and said: "it will take your state FIVE
years to repair the damage done by
your reformers."
The state was on the eve of a great
period of railroad development and it
seems objectionable that its develop
ment should BIZ sacrafced on the affairs
OF political ambition.--Huronite.
Isn't it queer how much railroad
building was going to be done if the
roads could have bossed the state po-

OF all the useless individuals who
burden this mundane sphere, the
knocker is most superlatively useless.
Sioux Falls is burdened with a few
who could well be spared Argus
Leader.
And the greatest knocker in the
state is the Argus Knocker. 1t knock
ed Roosevelt's railroad rate regula-
ton plan, it knocked Crawford, ii
knocked the platform measures advo.
Gated by the republican state conven-
ton, it is knocking the Legislature for
enacting those platform measures, il
is knocking the state administration
it is knocking Gamble. The only
things it doesn't knock is the Argus
Leader and Kittredge.

The Aberdeen News is authority for
the statement that the governors last
appointment associated politically
with the democratic party until 1896.
-Hmonite.
Isn't it terrible to think that Craw-
ford would appoint a man to office
who had not been a republican except
for the ten years last past? Nothing
is said against the mans fitness for
the office. How much better it would
have been if Crawford had appoint
ed some man who didn't know enough
to change his political affiliations
when changes in conditions made it
necessary.

In view of the howl that has gone
up from the Argus Leader because
the proposed change in the libel law
was not enacted it is only just that
we call the attention of the AL. to
the fact thit Goodner, of Pierre, the
chief representative of the machine
faction in the senate, was the head of
the opposition to the change in the
law. As the froth gets out of the
bottle, it is plain to be seen that the
attacks made upon the republican adj
m%inistration by the Al. are all with
out foundation of fact.

WITH the blare of trumpets it was
announced that Senator Kittredge
supported the rate regu alton bill.
which among other things provided
that the newspaper publishers could
not trade their advertising space for
railroad mileage. OF course, this only
applied to interstate traffic. But now
that the South Dakota legislature has
passed a law which seems to prevent
the same thing within the state the
Argus-Leader holds up its hands in
holy horror and says that Crawford
has robbed the publisher of one of
his constitutional rights. If the Ar.
gus-Leader is correct as to Crawford,
then its favorite, Senator Kittredge,
and President Roosevelt have done
the same thing to greater degree. The
INDEPENDENT never criticized Kilt
redge for his action in this matter,

litically, and how much that was new
er thought of is now going to be
abandoned because the people want
to govern themselves2 IF the rail
roads could have. had things their
own way every farmer would have
had a direct line of road from his
front door to any city market he might
name, and a life pass for himself and
family. Oh! we would have built
thousands of railroads If Crawford
hadn't been elected. Ofcourse, these
roads that they ''were going to build
might not have been paying invest
ments. but they would have been
built just the same, and all because
of the love for the dear people. But
as the Lord drove Adam and Eve out
OF the Garden of Eden when they
went astray, SO will the railroads re
fuse to build because the people dis
pleased hem. we know they would
have built railroads for, after the
Black Hills had been settled for forty
years and the eastern part of the
state under cultivation for thirty
years, didn't two roads insist on
bridging the gap by building l65
miles, 1t doesn't matter that this
little strip of l65 miles was only de-
termined upon after the Juggling of
railroads had taken place and it be,
came necessary for the roads to seek
a line to the coast because future traf-
tic agreements with other lines might
not be advantageous. We notice that
whatever was actually determined up
on is being pushed to a finish. TAX

1T has been some time since the
Argus-Leader assured us, that "we
are all republicans and working for
the good of the party. In the alb
sence of such an assurance, and,
after reading its editorials daily, we
are constrained to believe it has given
up being a republican and is engag-
ed in doing all it can to belittle the
the republican administration. Some
people and some papers are republi-

REED SMooT, the Mormon from Utah
wins in the contest and saves his seat
in the senate for two years more, with
the probability hat the Mormon
church will return him at the end of
his term rather than stand the chances
with another apostle. Smoot ought
to have been kicked out on general
principles, but there seems to be no
warrant of law for so doing. The
senate is a mighty hard place to get
into, but when once in it is even hard
er to jar a man loose.

The coke workers of the Prick
company have been granted a sub
stautial advance in wages. 1t is said
that no advance in the price of the
product is made. Usually an advance
in wages is accompanied or immedi-
ately followed by an advance in the
price of the manufactured product
fully covering the increased wages
and leaving an increased margin of
profit for the manufacturer In this
case, however, it seems that the coke

Crawford and the Legislature for do

BROKERS FIGHT TO BUY WHEAT

Chicago (SpeciaD In the most
sensational opening in the history of
the Chicago Board of Trade wheat
Monday shot past the dollar mark.
Heavy realizing sales pushed the
price backward somewhat. but at the
close the market was strong, and,
according to the majority Of specula-
tors on the board, the demand upon

made is still msatisfied. The net

tiOus and 4 Il cents for the Decem-
ber option. From the low point of
Monday of last week July wheat has

may be buried in the ruins. The
building was occupied by Montgom-

crwded almost every window appeal
ing for help, while scores of others,
mostly women and girls, filled the
tire-escapes and were scrambling to
the ground.
When the alarm Of fire was first
sounded so society women, who were
holding a meeting in the Atheneum
rooms. thought that it was a joke,
and they made no effort to leave. A
moment later, as the room filled with
smoke, there was a wild scramble
for the exits. All the women es-
capped with little hurt by using the
Locust Street fire escape.
Jumped to Death.
The third, fourth and fifth floors
were occupied by artists and musi-
clans, and some of the upper rooms
were used as living apartments.
George De Mare, 50 years old, art
instructor in the Central High School
and a portrait painter. who came
four years ago from Paris. jumped
from his studio window, on the fifth
floor, and was found dead. De Mare

society woman. She was waiting in

body offering to sell. The trade was
too big and too broad to be followed
with any certainty and brokers filled
orders frequently several cents away
from the point at which they had
hoped to buy. The confusion was so
great that for n few minutes but lit
tie actual business was transacted,
the brokers fighting and struggling in
efforts to get hold OF wheat from
anybody or: at any price.
As soon as figures could be regis
tered in the confusion the July Op-
tion sold anywhere between SO and
94 cents, which was 1 u to 23s
cents higher than the close of Sat
urday. September opened at 95 TO
90 cents, which was up 9s to 2s
cents above the closing prices of last
week. December showed a wider
range than either of the other op-
tions as the opening quotations for
December ran at all figures between
9619 cents and S1.03, prices which
were 1 II to cents above the final
quotations of Saturday. The rush
of buying orders seemed to come
from almost every town in the United
States which was situated along a
telegraph wire. They came from
Winnipeg and from Louisiana, and
from points on the Pacific and Allan
tic seaboard.
