May Shut of Water Tuesday.

1T is now probable" said Water
Commissioner Brummund this morn
ing, that next Tuesday will be the
day selected to close down the pump
ing station in order to make the nee
essary alterations in the water main
from the station where 1t comes in
conflict with the sewer pipes. If this
is done Tuesday the people will be
given definite notice of the intended
action on next Monday that they may
make the preparations necessary. We
have been making changes in the
Madison avenue water pipes where
they have blocked the progress of the
sewer but have only had to deprive
a few residence blocks of water. The
changes that we expect to make Tues
day, however, effect the water supply

this port.
Galveston has been chosen as the
southern terminus by reason of it be-
ing the great port of the west asd
southwest, and best suited to car
needs. With our line we will bring
the people of the states north many
miles closer to the tide water than by
any other route. The proposed road
will be less than 1000 miles in length.
For this reason better rates can he
offered than are now in effect over the
lines reaching this port. The line
will be strictly for Galveston. mas
much as this will be the only outlet
of the road. and will do everything
possible to build up the port, for the
reason that it will be to the best In
terests of those interested in the road
to do So"
Mr. Hill was asked if any of the
proposed line had been located.
Yes, the line has been located from
Yankton through Nebraska, and sur
veyors are now working in Kansas
and will be into Wichita this month.
Another surveying party short time
ago began at the north line Of Indian
territory and is coming toward Cal
weston. If satisfactory arrangements
can be made for terminals here par
ty will be started north from here to
the Red river. Right-of-way men are
following the surveyors and rights Of
way have been secured for large
part of the proposed route"
1t is understood that Mr.. Hill is
backed by large interests in Cincis-
natl and by number of men OF wealth

the new law children under sixteen
years of age are forbidden from doing

MAJ. KELLY VISITS DALLAS.
And Talks Interestingly of the Lands
Of Tripp County and Their Value.


Trip County Daily News: Maar
Edward B. Kelly, Indian agent, came
overland by automobile from the Rove
bud agency and spent day and
night in Dallas. While here he stated
to the editor that there are about oae
thousand Indians to be allotted. A.
very large majority of these have Sc
lected allotments near their parents
in Meyer, Lugenbal and Washbam-
baugh counties. There are three ree-
sons why the Indians select allotments
in these counties. First, as stated, the
parents allot their children near their
own lands. Second the pasture is
better farther west than in Trip conn.,
, ty. Third, the counties west will be
fully occupied by Indians and will
never be thrown open to settlement
There will be more Indians transfer
their allotments from Trip to the
counties west than there will be trans
| ferring from the counties west TO
Trip. No Indians allotted in Gregory
to the reservation.
MOSt OF the INDIANS TO be allotted
have selected their lands and des,g
mated their choice in legal manner BY
placing their flags thereon. Those Sc
lected in Trip county are nearly all
along the streams near the lands Of
the parents of the allottee, and near
the center of the county where the
wise ones are hoping to get near tn
future county seat. This will be the
last Rosebud land to be opened to set
| Element
Maj. Kelly says that the average
price of all Indian heirship lands sold
in Trip county up to date is $6.75 per
acre, and that some quarters have
brought more than 500 per acre The
fact that careful investors have paid
$4,000 per quarter for land when they
have no right to till or Craze it and
cannot even lawfully go over the res
ervation to visit the land without first
getting a permit from the agent, and
that the title in no instance is war
ranted as absolute, speaks well for the
quality and value of Trip county land.
Because of the fact that the opening
is so near at hand the government po-
lice that patrol the reservation will
not enforce the rule to keep all tres
passers off the reservation as rigidIy
as they have heretofore.

INTERESTED IN YANkToN RoAC
Fremont Hill Has Been Accusing
Newspaper Space in South.


Fremont Hill, promoter of the Yank-
ton & Southwestern railway, is arous-
ing some interest down in Kansas and
in Galveston in the projected new rail
way from Yankton to Galveston, whose
lines have been surveyed through Nor
folk and whose right-of-way this far
has been practically arranged for by
securing options. Following is what
the Clay Center (Kansas) Republican
has to say of the plan:
The necessity to territory lying be.
tween the Rocky mountains and the
Mississippi river of north and south
line, not affiliated with any of the big
systems that feed the eastern ports
has long been felt, and there is rea
son to believe that such line is short
ly to be built, and that it will seek
tide water at Galveston. So says the
Galveston News of recent date. A
News reporter interviewed President
Fremont Hill on the subject. Mr.. Hill
admitted that he has been in the fielt
for about a year working upon the
project, and that his purpose in Gal
weston was to see what can be done
toward getting terminals. Mr.. Hill
did not care to go into details as tc
his project, but gave out some i'm
portant facts connected with the
scheme.
THE plan is to construct an air linz

The st. PauPs Lutheran church
building, which the new structure is
to replace, was built in 1878. A neat
frame edifice, it replaced an earlier
church of logs, the pioneer of Norfolb
churches. This is the second time
then in the history of Norfolk that the
st. Paul congregation has outgrowr

Has GIVEN HIS ulrrMAruM.

In another column Of the CENSOR, on
an inside page, is given the latest declar-
alton of President Roosevelt, taking
himself clearly out of the possibility of
denomination by the approaching ma
tional convention. This will be unwel-
come news to very large per cent of
the republicans of the country, and the
CENSOR confesses that it has entertained
the belief that Roosevelt is the logical
candidate to succeed himself. He has
tenaciously outlined course and policy
that the country looks upon as Fro
gressive and correct. We have believed
it his plain duty to remain for another
term and put them completely into ex-
ecution, so far at least as is his prero-
gative as an executive. The President 8
latest declaration however takes him
from the running.
Supporters of Senator LaFollette take
courage in the belief that the positive
declaration of President Roosevelt
greatly strengthens the possibility of a
successful candidacy for our Wisconsin
aspirant. The race is very much mixed
and no man can safely predict the out
come.

During L. T. Cooper's recent stay

five thousand people talked with him

is an average of over two thousand q

His success was so phenomenal as
to cause universal comment both By
the public and the press. There must
be a reason for this. Here is the
reason given in his own words by Mr..
Cooper when interviewed on the sub

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When healthy
they remove about 500 grains of
impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
IN the blood. This brings on many di-
seases and symptoms-paini in the back,
headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, govt, gravel, disorders Of
the eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsiness,
drops, deposits in the urine, etc. But
II you keep the filters right you will
have notrouble with your kidneys.
