have brought prompt and lasting cures.
Ny previous testimonial was based on
personal experience. l was greatly
troubled with dull lingering aching
through the Kidneys and retention of
the kidney secretions and as time roll
ed by the symptoms became much more
in evidence. The secretions after stand
ing for some time showed heavy brick
dust sediment. My condition was al
ways worse if l overeXerted myself or
contracted the least cold. In some
way Doan's Kidney Pills were brought
to my notice and l procured box at
L P. Van Werden's drug store. was
surprised at their very immediate ac-
ton upon the kidneys. They relieved
the pain in my back and corrected the
urinary difficulties in remarkably short
time. have resorted to their use quite

travelling extensively between this city
and Huron and the northern portion OF
the state says he has inspected corns-
fields at many places along the way and
finds most Of it already safe, but the
crop is somewhat short, with an assur-
ance Of from 80 to so bushels of sound
corn to the acre, while many of the
fields will do better than that figure.
The heavy rains in spring delayed cul-
tiyation and the intense heat and dry
weather Of August affected the crop to
to certain extent and cut the yield
below what was expected.

Decision i. Aw4lted wan Interest.

H t n
It would appear that the question of
jurisdiction over interstate railroads is
in a good way to be finally settled, The
case of the Larrabee Milling company,
of Kansas, against the Missouri Pacific
and which was decided in favor of the
milling company, has been appealed to
the United States supreme court. The
railroad takes the position that unde er
the new rate law common carriers are
federal agencies under the exclusive
control Of. the Interstate commerce com.
mission, and that the states have TO
Jurisdiction over their operations.
Thus the question is brought squarely
before the highest tribunal in the
land, and the decision will ba fraught
with the greatest Importance. The de.
cision in favor Of the milling concern
was handed down by the supreme court
of Kansas.

PRAISES THE WORK
Auditor Persons Tells of Irrigation
Progress at Belle Fourche.

:. I
R.SS. Pearsons, auditor for the inter
LOT department, was in Pierre on Satur-
day, after having visited the Belle
Fourche project. Mr.. Persons has been
out for several months on shat work, a
portion of the time accompanying Sec
retary Garfield, and is an enthusiast
over the reclamation work being done
|by the general government. At the
present time twenty-five such projects
are under way in Colorado, Wyoming,
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Ar
izona, covering construction work of
practically every kind from towering
stone dams IN the mountain gulches to
the immense earthen dam at Belle
Fourche. Most of these projects are
for the purpose of reclamation of tracts
which without the water are absolutely
barren, but the Belle Fourche project
is one which is intended TO increase
productiveness of land already tillable
and in this Mr. Persons says it appeals
to him with greater force than any of
the others, and especially so as it is to
help build up his home state.

The Great Postponer.

Secretary Taft has aptly been dubbed
"the Great Postponer,"a title that is
likely to stick. 1t will stick because it
ought to stick; because it accurately
indicates the Taft attitude toward
evils that are pressing for correction
and the remedies that are proposed to
correct them,
Naturally, since he regards trusts as
undisguised blessings to the people, and
since he is convinced there is no water
in railroad stock, Secretary Taft can
see no particular hurryin dealing with
railroads and trust problems. Natural
ly, since his bias is toward the rights OF
property rather than the rights of man
he is opposed to Immediate" revision

many visitors Join In Celebration OF
New Road.
Over 5000 visitors took advantage OF
the low rates to participate in the rail
road jubilee which began Tuesday and
closed Friday. It marked the entrance
OF the Northwestern and Milwaukes 1
railroads to the Black Hills from across
the state and q new era Of commercial
prosperity.
Rapid City was gaily attired for the
occasion with its flags and elnblems. n
and delegations met each arriving train
and escorted the visitors to their place
OF accommodation. Mayor Emrick OF
hcially welcomed every one on the iirst
day with neat speech at Seventh and
Main streets, and from then on occurred
9 series of races BY cowboys and In
dians, q shooting tournament, bucking
broncho contests and similar western
features. Each days program included
balloon ascension and each evening
there was display Of electric lighting,
including the illuminated Welcome
arch, such as Rapid City has never be-
fore seen before.
The second day, with its picnic Of the
Black Hills pioneers, was the big day.
The feature of this was the civic parade
in which, soldiers, Indians, bands, over
fifty of the pioneers and floats Of ali
descriptions took part. There were
over 900 persons in line, but the first
settlers Of the Black Hills were the OBJ
jects Of attention and all along the line
were cheered to the echo In honor Of
the old timers Rapid City had erected
q triumphal arch on one side Of which
were the words, aRapid City az We
Found IT." with the figure Of an lndian
and on the other, Rapid City as We
Made It." with figure representing
the commercial progress Of today.
In the afternoon the crowd assembled
on the court house square. where they
listened to excellent congratulatory
speeches from Uuited States Senator
iGamble, of Yankton; Attorney Thomas
/, Harvey, Of Lead, himself q pioneer
land the first attorney in the Black
Hills, and others. On the platform
were Gov. Crawford, Congressman
Parker, ex-Gongressman Martin and
Burke, Judge Levi McGee, president Of
the Rapid City Business club, and
other officials. Senator Gamble pic
tured to the pioneers the work which
they had started and it's results, and
the bright future for the Black Hills
through the coming of the railroads.
