TO FIGHT FOR NEW YORK
w. j. Bryan Will Make Speech Max
ing Tour Of State.

W.Js bryan Will MAKE 0p6tCu-M1A
ing Tour Of State.
Chicago, August %. VIM. j.
Bryan will make determined eff
fort to place New York State in
4 the Democratic column. Plans to
this end were carefully laid to-day.
at three-hour conference of Mr..
Bryan, National Chairman Mack,
heads Of the various bureaus of
the national committee and mem
bers of the executive committee
at Democratic national headquar-
ters shortly after Mr.. Bryan's ar
rival here from Des Moines.
Mr.. Bryan will speak in New
York City, Syracuse and Rochester,
on September 16, Is and 20, and
early in October he will again speak
in New York City and in Buffalo.
Reports received by Chairman
Mack give strong hope to Mr..
Bryan and members of the ma
tional committee that the Demo
Gratis can carry New York if Mr..
Bryan will speak in the principal
centers of the State.
1t was further developed at the
conference that Mr.. Bryan would
make a sharp fight in the Middle
West, while Jno. w. Kern, the
Vice-Presidential candidate, would
likely be called upon to make an
extended tour of the Pacific Coast
States.
GOOD REPORT MADE.
After the conference began short
" before noon, Chairman Mack di-
rected that the heads of the vari-
Gus bureaus submit reports of their
plans and the progress made in
their bureaus. The national COM
mltteemen present told of the stu
alton in their States and it was
generally agreed that the outlook
for the Democratic national ticket
was most promising.
Former National Chairman Thos. !
Taggart declared that Indiana
would surely go for Bryan and
that the Republicans were using
money to divide the labor vote.
Gov. Haskell, of Oklahoma,
treasurer of the national commit
tee, declared that Oklahoma would
give Mr.. Bryan $4,000 plurality
and that the State would contribute
$4,000 to the campaign fund, of
which $4,000 had already been
raised.
Following the reports of the bu-
reau heads, the situation was dis
cussed with reference o-Mr. Bry-
ans own campaign. 1t was re-
ported that there was strong
drift towards Bryan in New York 4
State and the reports giving this
to Chairman Mack in
dicated that the State could be
carried if Mr.. Bryan would make
a swing through the State.
FIGHT IN MIDDLE WEST. {
Political conditions in the Middle
West were taken up and Senator
Culberson, chairman of the ad-
visory committee, who has been
spending the summer in Mary !
and, informed Mr.. Bryan and f
he committeeman that West Vir- I
yinia and Maryland would in all il
probability be found in the Dem J
ocratic ranks. 1t was the opinion I

THE RUN OFF.
Hon A. S. Askew Elected State
Senator.

"Shall the people rule?" asks the
leSder of the Democracy, William
Jennings Bryan, in his speech of
acceptance, and from all over the
country the people to whom heap
pealed are answering him in the
affirmative, but from nowhere has
the response come clearer or more
decided than from our own Sena-
torial District, which answered
"Aye" IN clarion tones at the bal
lot boxes yesterday.
TBeFall returns of the primary
are not yet in, but enough have
been received to show that the
Hon. A. H. Askew has been elect
ed by larger majority than his
most sanguine supporters antici-
pated, and his election shows that
the majority of the Democrats OF
Madison, Henderson and Chester
Counties are unequivocally in fav-
or of Statewide Prohibition, of
direct primaries and of the govern
ing power of the party being taken
from the political machine and re-
turned to the people to whom by
all Democratic precedent and theo-
ry it rightfully belongs.
Madison, Henderson and Ches-
ter Counties all stood for direct
Statewide primary, for State
wide prohibition and for the right
of every county to canvass its own
election returns. In the August
primary j. n. Robinson, j. 6.
Futrell and John Hall, all State
wide candidates, were elected to

Ducks Are on the Wing.

Out of the waters OF the sunny south
the ducks have commenced the pilgrim
age to the northern breeding grounds.
The flight has been meager SO far, and
the vanguard of sportsmen have had
mediocre shooting.
AS usual the pintail, the high flying,
wary, webfooted bird which has tend.
dency to scrape its back against the
highest cloud, is in advance. This
duck, which is long flyer, comes as
skinny as usual from it's southern
haunts. 1t takes a powerful gun aud a
whole lot of eyesight to bring one of
these soaring pintails out of the sky.
But their appearance about the lakes
and streams spreads the fever. 1t causes
sportsmen to fondie his retriever, oil
his gun, and to think Of fixing for him
self "blind" at some advantageous
spot.
Following in the wake of the pintail
come the redhead, canvasbacks, and the
easily decoyed greenhead mallards
Then, es this brigade moves northward
with the weather, comes the dainty
little green and blue winged teal. In
terspersed with this interesting flight
the widgeon, butterball, blue bill anc
the brant and Canadian geese pass by

To Dakota for Seed Corn.

Many farmers of Iowa are looking to
South Dakota this spring for their seed
corn, as the corn in that state last fall
did not mature in good shape for seed.
Samples are being called for daily, and
it begins to look as though the seed
corn agent who has the right kind of
corn will have little trouble of uispos.
ing of his supply. 1t is hard to con-
vince the average Iowa farmer that
South Dakota is gradually taking first
rank in the matter Of corn production,
and they are slow to believe that the
samples which have been semitic them
were grown in South Dakota fields. One
farmer from the Hawkeye state, upon
receiving samples, offered to bet that
the corn did not grow in the coyote
state. Clay county is being called on
to furnish thousands of bushels of seed
this year for the farmers in certain por.
tions Of Iowa, Minnesota and South Da
kota.

Farms for the Asking.

100000 acres of tillabe land in
western South Dakota and only 6,000,-
600 acres of it are under cultivation.
The state holds out its hand this i'm
mense area and offers it for homes to
any who may wish to go and live there.
Many of the other states in the Union
have immense tracts of land that could
with intelligent labor be speedily con.
verted into fruitful fields. all that is
required are the men and women in or
der to change these waste places into
farms that would yield abundant har.
vests.
If there could be some mighty cen
trifugal force which would scatter the
excessive populations of the great cities
and people the lands that are waiting
for development this country would re.
ceive forward impetus unmatched in
the worlds history.

Born of Republican Parents.

A new order of things is established
in the land. The people are aroused to
their rights, and neither the schemes of
the vicious nor the tricks of the dema
gogue will avail to deceive them. More
than ever before they are demanding of
their legislators-municipal; state and
national--honest, fearless and patriotic
service. We must not and will not be
deferred by the evil prophecies of law
breakers.
No rogue e'er felt the halter draw.
With good opinion of the law.
The act of 1906 and the enforcement
of law against public malefactors have
not impaired and will not impair the
the general prosperity, but will contri-
butte to permanent justice and equality.
The policies of the present admistra
ton were conceived in patriotism and
born of Republican parents.

An article recently written by H. G.
Lafferty, one of the old timers along
the Missouri river, says the first settler
on the present. site of Pierre was Napo-
leon Ducheoau, who picked a location
near the present site of the railroad
bridge in 1875. The next year Alex
Laundry and Alex Schonebaugh locat-
ed about where st. Mary's hospital now
stands and in 1877 man by the name
of Parenta located between the two,
where the main part of the city now
stands. In 1878 Lafferty himself ar
rived here, coming down from Fort
Sully, and the same year John Rabdeau
came in from the south, making total
population of nineteen persons on the
present town site in 1879. The next
year several easterners arrived and
wanted all the locations for cattle
ranch, and as soon as they had secur ed
what they wanted they began laying
out town and called it Pierre.

To Open Indian Reservation.

Congressman Philo Hall has intro
duced in the house of representatives a
bill for the opening of the Cheyenne
Indian reservation. Mr.. Hall's bill is
similar to the one introduced by Sena-
tor Gamble in the senate, only Mr..
Halls includes the entire reservation
and if the bill is passed the state will
add thousands of dollars to its school
land fund.
Congressman Hall states that Mr..
Marshall of North Dakota has intro
duced similar bill to open the Stand
ing Rock reservatian.

sentative was mapping out some valu-
able legislation on behalf of his consti-

Why RengO Reduces Fat
Anti-Fats and Starvation Diet Re-
suit i'm Mrecking of the System.

Fat as a general rule comes from the
failure Of the digestive organs 10 do
their work properly. IL may come also
from oVer-eating. In these cases there
Is always some part of the food eaten
which is not eliminated as 1t should be,
but is made up in the form of fat and
sent by the blood 30 various parts OF the
body. This accumulation continues con-
Stantly until within a comparatively
short time, the heart becomes incased in
a layer or coating or fat The heart
seems 10 be one Of the first vital organs
10 become affected in this manner.
The food. therefore, Ia cases of fat, Is
not properly assimilated-that is. part OF
the food is retained by the body which
should not be retained. and part which
should be retained is thrown out. This
does not always mean dyspepsia or indi-
EestiOn. for one may have very healthy
stomach ana yet begin stO grow fat.

to try TO starve away the fat Is both

whole system and wreck e. The victim
then becomes a subject Tor the sSlnltar-

thing happens by trying to use anti
fats, remedies that positively stop d.

which sooner or later results IN break
down Of some organ and consequent
disease. Brights Disease, Nephritis,
Gastritis and Neuritis may quickly fol-

Tropical fruit is and has been known
for wears as a remarkable regulator Of
the system. BY a persistent use OF such
a mixture the body viii assume an alb
