TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent ply
slcian Tor an obstinate case OF &C.
zema, resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies, and was SO we'll pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely we'll,
and there has been no recurrence OF
the trouble.
I'm July Of this year a little boy
In our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty.
four hours his hands and arms were
. mass of t~orturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cut1cura Ointment. and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent. In.
about three weeks his hands and
arms healed up. So we have lots Of
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu.
ticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. LIE.

CASE OF YOUNG MlLLsAP.
Showing That Every Cloud Has Silver
Lining.


Lining.
The story of Christopher Millsap, a
young bookkeeper in the employ of a
wholesale house, affords a striking H.
Illustration of the way in which the
wind is often tempered to the shorn
lamb.
Not on account of any fault of his,
but because the business would not
justify keeping him on the salary list
any longer, Christopher had lost his
situation.
Day after day he tried to secure an
other, but without success. One morn
ing, when he found himself reduced
to his last cent and was thinking
gloomily of suicide as the only way
out OF his troubles, the postman hand
ed him a letter. 1t was from ketcham
& Fleecem, attorneys at law, and read
as follows:
Dear Sir: Your uncle, Orville Stin-
jay Millsap. died last week. AS ad-
illustrators of his estate we have
been looking over his papers and we
find that you W him $50 for money

OPEN UP MILLION ACRES.
Land for the LandIess Released In
Trip County.

The Bonesteel chamber of COM
merce has received a telegram from
the South Dakota delegation in con
gress, stating that the bill opening
Trip county to settlement had
passed the senate and that it will be-
come a law in a short time. This
means that about 1000. 900 acres of
choice agricultural land will be
opened.
A. e. Kull, secretary of the Bone.
steel chamber of commerce, has just
returned from a weeks tour of Trip
county, N says the land there is
better on an average than hat of
Gregory county. Bonestecl will, no
doubt, be designated as one of the
places of registration, and a great
rush is expected the coming summer.
A few prospective settlers are al
ready here awaiting the opening
which will, no doubt. take place some
time mex fall, when Bonesteel will
again be the busiest town in the
Northwest.
The Northwestern railroad has COM
pleted the Bonesteel extension as far
as Gregory, and the preliminary sur.
vey has been made across Trip
county, and it is expected the line
will be pushed to a connection with
the main line from Pierre to Rapid
City the coming summer.
Trip, like Gregory county, abounds
with springs of pure soft water, and
the surface of the land is gently roll
ing except along the creeks and the
White river. The soil is of a rich
dark loan, and where it has been
farmed by the Indians produces album
dainty.

For those who have any form OF

Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake we'll in a bottle and take in
%teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. Any good pharmacy can
supply the ingredients at small cost.
This is the prescription which, when
made up, is callad The Vegetable

RIOT OVER DOG CATCHER.
Negro Caught Licensed Animal ana
Race Trouble esults


Charles A. Smith, town dog catcher
of Miller, is charged with assault with
intent to commit a felony. William
Johnson is under arrest on the same
charge, and he gave bonds to appear
for trial at the same time.
Both men are colored, and previous
to their arrest they were concerned
In a small race riot, a dozen or more
men, in the attempt to arrest them,
crying out, Get a rope and hang
them"
The whole affair originated in the
appointment verbally by the marshall
of Smith as dog catcher. He did his
duty SO we'll that in one day he
brought in eight CANNES that bit the
dust at the crack of the marshal's
rifle. In one instance he caught a dog
on which the license had been paid,
and while this one was not killed it
engendered bad blood.
There is a feeling among those who
nave lost dogs to run the negroes out
OF town at any cost. Then there is a
large element who want them to re-
main and to give the job of dog
catcher permanently to them, as there
seems to be little diminution in the
number of dogs.

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.
Satisfactory Yields Of Wheat and
Good Prices.

Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 80, 1906.
Mr.. w. H. Rogers, Canadian Govern.
ment Agent,
indianapolis, Ind.
My Dear Sir:
When you were at our place in july
l promised to write you what my
north quarter made per acre. You
will remember it was all sown to wheat.
Well, finished t%hreshing yesterday
and received from it an average of
43A bushels per acre-testing 641h
pounds per stroSed bushel. The wheat
is the best sample | have ever raised
so uniform and even in size. You
may know it was a good sample when
| tell you that have already sold 1000
bushels of it for seed to my neighbors.
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life. My wheat
totaled $3.50 bushels and nv oats
nearly 5000.
If you remember | pointed out to
you a half section lying Just west of
our house and joining my upper quar-.
ter on the south, which | said | should
have in order to make one of the best
farms in western Canada. | am very
glad to be able to tell you that | now
own that half section. My ambition
O is to be able to market 10000
bushels of wheat next year. If some
of those good, honest Hoosiers could
have been with me during the last two
weeks and could have seen the COLDER
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seen it in
great piles in my g%ranaries, | feel sure
they would have been forced to
acknowledge there is no better farm
ing country in the world than this.
may just say that | have done all my
farming with eight head of horses and
n hired man except during harvest
and threshing. This yea | proved to
my neighbor that the Hoosiers, when
once woke up" can raise grain equal
to the best Minnesota farmers. His
best yield was 421a bushels per acre,
so you see "old Indiana" is holding the
ribbon this year.
Yours very truly,
N. e. BAUMINK.

Sioux City Man Eases Conscience by
Suuarinu With County


An interesting case of conscience
money has just come to light in Union
county. County Treasurer Weber
recently received an inquiry from a
mar in Sioux City asking him to state
the amount OF his personal tax. He
added that in 1890 he lived in Vir-
ginia township, had left the county
without paying his taxes and that
now, though poor, he wished to be
honest. Mr.. Weber replied that the
tax amounted to 1898, with interest
of 1881. The treasurer suggested
that If he would pay the tax he be-
lieved the commissioners would re-
nit the interest. In a few days a
draft was received for the whole
amount.

seem to lie sufficiently powerful to lift

NEW CURE FOR STOMACH.

persons suffering from distressing
Indigestion that they can surely be
relieved
Since nobody knows when. people
have suffered from Indigestion. sick
headaches. bloating. dizzy spells. dis
tress after eating, sleeplessness, and
many other symptoms of stomach
trouble. and have found the usual
remedies pOwerleSS.
At last Il prescription called Mi-o-na
stomach tablets is offered to the mcdi-
cal profession and general public as Il
final solution of curing stomach and
Intestinal troubles. Its success every
where has made it. in the last few
years, the acknowledged specific it is
today.
Indigestion. which is 50 common
trouble. is the principal cause Of
great share of the general poor health.
1t has misleading symptoms that seem
ingly have no reference to the stomach.
such as headaches. sleeplessncss.
nervous symptoms. etc. These coEdi-
tions if neglected. become chronic and
hard to shake off.
Strengthen the whole digestive
system with Mi-O-na, and you VIII
soon find that the stomach and bowels
do their work as they should. There
will be no distress after eating, and the
refuse will be expelled from the system
without the aid of physic.
Bowditch. Webster & Co. have so
much faith in the power of Mi-o-na to
cure stomach ills that they give a
guarantee with every 50-cent box to
refund the money if the remedy dos
not do all that is claimed for it.
They take all the risk, and you cannot
afford to pass by q reliable mediciI-e
