writes:
"Having tried many remedies for
chronic catarrh of the bronchial tubes,
and not receiving any benefit, I began
to think there was no help for me until
I began to use Peruna.
"In short time the bronchial tubes
began to clear, 1 did not have that frog
in my throat continually, my voice was
not nearly 80 husky, and the wheeling
noise disappeared.
ct was soon able to believe that was
entirely free from catarrh, and as this
was several months ago, l do not believe
that it will return"
The above group of women could be
multiplied by ten thousand without
reaching the number that have been
helped by taking Peruna.

woMAN,s INTERIOR NOSE.

An English doctor, having arrived at the conclusion that no woman was a judge of wine, started a series of ex- | perments recently to determine the reason. He started out with the pro- position that the feminine taste was SC bad that a woman could not even dis tinguish whether & sample of wine was very good or very bad.
 He located the incapacity in the sense of smell. A woman's sentiive- ness to odors he appreciates far below that normally possessed by men. The essences with pure water and testing experiments were made by diluting the limit of strength at which men and women could detect them and dis tinguish their character. The average man, it was found, could easilly detect the presence of lemon essence dllut- ed with 100000 times its own bulk of water. Women could only recognize it in a mixture of one part in 40,OOO.
 He concludes that the reason why some women use large quantities of perfume is that their sense of smell is specially obtuse and that they only obtain from considerable quantity of GU de cologne of perfumed toiled wa ters the same sensation that "a man would gain from a drop or two-New York Sun,

the same time there was evidence from time to time of an absorption of stocks of kind to indicate that prices have fallen to a level where some demand is attracted of an investment or semi investment character. There has been more or less bargain buying for invest weeks decline. There has been, how ever, notable lack of buying by banking and other large financial in- terests for purposes of support up to to-day. The opening break in prices to-day did develop buying of this kind, and the perception of it was a prime factor in driving the bears to cover, and affecting the following material recovering rally The bears proved in the latter market that they had not exhausted their ammunition. This did not prevent growth of the opinion, however, that the period of active liz quidation was approaching It's end, and would run its course without disaster or panic. The week has been singular ly free in fact, from rumors of finan- ctal embarrassments, although the ex- tent of the decline makes the fact of enormous losses having occurred a matter of course. The conviction re- mains general that these have fallen generally on the millionaire class, and amongst those who could shoulder the burden without ruinous consequences. Yesterdays weak closing paved the way for the flood of selling orders un- der which the market was swamped at the opening, Gloomy sentiment was accentuated by the discouraging views on the industrial outlook expressed by E. Fl. Hartman in a published inter- view. His assertion that if orders on hand with the United States Steel cor poration were not subject to cancella- ton their completion would develop the lack of demand, was the occasion for the special drive against the securi- ties of that corporation, The severe decline in those stocks was of substan- tial effect on sentiment. Union Pacific also responded to the pessimistic ut terances of its president with a materi- price caused by the per cent divi- dend coming off. The persistent ab- sorption of Reading and inducing the extensive covering of movement of the day. There was good action also of the group of Morgan stocks which broke violently yesterday, and Southern railway preferred rebounded violently when it became known that the divi- dend rate was maintained.
 This checked momentarily the de- cline in the general market, which was resumed with the renewed attack on United States Steel. The drop in prices at the last was much the same as that of yesterday and the closing tone was decidedly weak

A RRYcn PEc1111AITY

James Bryce, the new British Am bassador to the United States, has a horror of telephones. The diplomat has frequently been called on the wire since his arrival in Washington, and it is said that on numerous occasions he Ihas refused to talk by means of the speaking piece. When he does talk, however, he insists on knowing in- mediately who the person is at the other end of the line and his business, Mr Bryce simply doesn't like this modern method of carrying on a can versation, and as a result gets out of 1t whenever he can. Long-distance calls are said ito be particularly distastful to the Ambassador While at times he has consented to talk to people over the phone in Washington he hates to con- verse on the long-dlstance lines. Con sequently out-of-town calls for Eng lands new representative are not cor dially received, if at Washington Herald.

MRS. EDDYs FAMILY AND BUST.
 NFyCS

Mrs. Eddy is now S6 years of age. She has lived far beyond the scripture limit of 3 score and 10 and has now reached an age at which very few per- sons retain the full use of their facul- ties. The statement by her son of what he discovered during his visit to his mother in January conforms to what might have been expected. Mrs Ed dy, it was claimed, has become incap- able of giving intelligent direction of her affairs. She is apparently in the possession of syndicate that is ad- ministering her business, and that speaks in her name. Under such circumstances the interference of the civil authority to protect the interests of all concerned will be a natural pro- ceeding. A great and very profitable business has been built up by Mrs, Eddy. Her income from her books is known to be very large She is at the head of an army of headers, who are busily prac- ticing that which she has taught them, and many of whom are in receipt of very large incomes. But more im- portant than the control of the great income which she derives from her business is the question of the or ganization and future control of the Christian Science movement. It has flourished amazingly under the ab- solute and exceedingly sl1illful domina- tion of it's founder. Who will stand in her place when she is gone? Whatever plans or purposes she may have formed in the past in regard to this question have remained hidden from the public. But, if she has become incapacitated, it is necessary that there shall be a legal determination of the rights of those who handle her money and who assume to speak for her.-Hartford Times

Pressure against stocks was resumed right at the opening and amid an out pouring of various active issues new low records for the year were scored. Great confusion prevailed for time, and all efforts to support stocks, if there were any, failed. Toward mid day, however, a sharp rally occurred, which carried prices to level fairly well up to the opening, but shortly after l o'clock what looked like a concerted movement against Pennsylvania stock began and a sharp break in this issue carried down the entire market. The demoralization for little while seemed to be worse than at any previous time this week. Blocks of from 2,OO0 to 5000 shares were thrown over by brokers and one lot of 12,OO0 shares of Pennsyl- vania came out on the decline. New low records were made in the closing hour. Wall street was at a loss to ac- count for the decline, but it was appar- ent that banking interests were doing very little to support prices. Pennsyl- vania, which was selling about 126 was down to 12S 12 around 2:30 o'clock Union Pacific, St. Paul, New York Gen. tral, and other prominent issues were at the same time at the lowest figures of the day Even Reading, which has been run up to 124, against lost con- siderable ground.

A Farewell Party.

Lars Wirstad for many years an
honorad citizen of Canton, and rec
emily cashier of the Granite City
bank at Dell Rapids, rendered his
Canton friends a farewell party in
Banquet Hall Monday night. 1t was
one of the most delightful social
events ever given in the city. The
hall was beautifully decorated with
ferns and plants and presented a very
beautiful appearance. Guests to the
number of over one hundred danced
to the beautiful music of the Hotch-
kiss orchestra till a late hour in the
night. Those who did not engage in
the mazes of the dance were well en-
tertained in playing five hundred and
whist. A most delightful lunch was
served during the evening. All pres
emit had a most delightful time. Mr..
Wirstad expects to start for the Pa
cific coast about the first of the COM
ing month and he gave the entertain
ment as a farewell to his friends in
the city with whom he had SO long as
ISOLATED. His many friends in this
city wish him success and happiness
wherever he may go.

Annual Meeting OF the State
Mutual Fire Association OF
Canton.

The annual meeting of Canton's
Fire Insurance company was held in
the office of President Rudolph over
the post office Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock. A great deal of routine work
was transacted including an examina-
tion into the affairs Of the company
by the officers and directors present,
after which the old officers were
unanimously reelected.
The annual report was examined
by the writer and shows the company
to be solid. prosperous and growing
in favor as one of the safest and
squarest insurance companies in the
state. and this excellent condition is
only what anyone expects who knows
the President Of the Company. The
writer has known the President as a
loyal Dakotan and Canton business
man 30 years and "a say with all who
know him best that there is not a
more capable or careful business man
in the entire state. TO his careful
and able management Of the home
office is due the splendid condition Of
the company. It carries a greater
cash surplus than any other mutual
in the state, and has returned to
members in premium dividends DUR
ing the past six years, $50,015, or in
other words it has saved that much
for those who have ms ured in the
company besides giving them protec-
tion.
For the year 1906 the Company paid
$40, 800 in fire losses, and the amount
of insurance in force on the first day
of this month wa $1,44S. 500, and the
individual policy holders numbered
LAS. The amount returned to mem
bers as dividends for 1906 was $6,643.
General j. B. Wolgemuth, secretary
and general solicitor for the company,
Is one of the best known gentlemen in
the state, and his word is as good as
a bond anywhere. He is known from
one end Of the state to the other-up,
down and across, as one Of the safest
and best judges of insurance risks in
the business. The Leader takes great
pride in 1.-THE State Mutual Fire As
ISOLATION of Canton and can honestly
recommend it to all as Of the safest
and strongest mutual companies in
the state, and nothing more is necess
sary to the man who wants gilt edged
protection.

TELEPHONE MEN IN ACTION.
The Annual Meeting Held at
Sioux Falls Last Week.

According to the Sioux Falls papers
The South Dakota Independent Tele-
phone Association had lots of business
and a royal. banquet at their fourth
annual session.
Hon. c. b. Kennedy, President of
the association, vas the toast master
at the banquet, and those who have
seen and heard the famous Chauncy
Depew in action say he is not in 1T
with the broad shouldered, brainy
Dakotan.
The telephone business conducted
by local or home companies in the
state is steadily growing in volume
and Importance. The big monopolies
have made several efforts to curtail
the usefulness of the ''little fellows"
and all manner of threats have been
used to compel local companies to
surrender their independence and be-
come mere servants of the big COM
panies, and the writer knows per-
sonally that President Kennedy has
met these bulldoZers at every point
and thwarted their base designs. He Is
a better lawyer than any of the trust
"ambassadors' who came to the state
and in every case has exposed the in
justice of the demands presented by
the trust agents, and some OF those
gentlemen considered themselves
mighty cute. Had it not been for
President Kennedy's good Judgment
and legal ability the local companies
would have in most cases, become
mere agents for the trust.
The home or local companies are
now strong enough and sufficiently
united to withstand any assault from
the foreign companies, and the South
Dakota Independent Telephone AS
ISOLATION proposes to hold the field
that rightfully belongs to it.
AT the conclusion of the business
session, the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year. G. B.
Kennedy, president, Canton; j.. A..

r. Buck, Secretary-treasurer Hudson.
