Editor Donohue Apologized.

The issue before election Editor
Donahue preferred some charges
against County Auditor Anderson
concerning the leaving of of the
names OF three democratic candidates.
The Ethan editor had it figured out
that Mr.. Anderson was wilfully vio-
lating the law. He has since discov-
cred his great mistake, and he offers
the county auditor the following
apology:
"H. B. Anderson, County Auditor,
took exceptions to the article which
appeared in the Enterprise of Oct.
29th, relative to his filing Of the GER
tifcates of nomination of the demo-
cratic candidates. We wish to say in
justice to Mr.. Anderson that this
paper is not in the business of 'char-
acter assassination" and the same was
not published with such an intent.
The Enterprise goes on record to say
that its apologies are hereby tender
ed to Mr.. Anderson for any unjust
ness pertaining to his reputation in
the article in question"

ar pressure.

The weight OF Ii earth's atmos.
phere, or, in other words, the pressure
exerted upon the earth by the atmos-
phere, is about the same as would be
exerted by Il food of ate thirty
three feet in height over the globe. at
the sea level the pressure of the atmos-
phere is about fifteen pounds to the
square inch. A man of ordinary size
thus bears all the time u pressure of
about 10000 pounds, but he does not
feel it because the pressure is eXerted
in every direction-aboye, below and
around him-and because his body is
filled With air aud other fluids that
press outward. thus maintaining Il
state of equilibrium.
The b~aronletric pressure decreases as
we ascend at the rate of about enc
inch for every 1000 feet of elevation.
AT a height of 10000 feet TIE rate CT
decrease is about one incl ier every
1900 feet of elevation. and The proper
ton of decrease becomes greater at
greater heights. AT u height CT lS.OCu
feet the pressure is about one-huTr OF
what it is ut the sea leyel-that is to
say, the air at that elevation is only
one-half as heavy as it is at the sea
level.

RHEUMATISM RECEIPT
to Prepare Simple, Yet Re
markable Home Mixture.

m8rkable HON MIXTURE.
A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the following valuable,
though simple and harmless, pre-
scription, which any n can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup sarsaparilla
three ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle,
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
tion pharmacy at small cost, and be-
ing Of vegetable extraction, are harm
Less to take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken
regularly for a few days, is said to
overcome almost any case of Rheu-
matism. The pain and swelling, If
any, diminish with each dose, until
permanent results are obtained, and
without injuring the stomach. While
there are many so-called Rheumatism
remedies, patent medicines, ETC.,
some of which do give relief. few
really give permanent results, and
the above wiz, no doubt, be greatly
appreciated by many sufferers here
at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood ELECTS the information
that these drugs are harmless and
car be bought separately. or the
druggists here will mix the prescrip-
tion for our readers if asked to.

Why THERE'S NO BAND
An Old Musician Writes of His I'M
pressions Why There is No Band

pre~ssions Why There is No Band
In Mitchell Now.
The writer has often herd the re-
mark from Mitchell citizens, as we'll
as from outside people, why don't
Mitchell have a band?" We can
answer the question by asking an
other: Why don't Mitchell %patronize
and help support her own musicians?
This, in itself, would be sufficient
reason why Mitchell has no band. but
we wish to go further and elaborate
just a little.
In times past we have had some
good bands. And why? Simply be-
cause three business citizens who had
talent enough, together with bust
ness ability enough to organize, in
struct and help maintain bands to
the neglect and sacrifice Of their own
business, practically without any re-
Enumeration.
In u memory, when extends
back to almost the beginning of
Mitchell, we can recall only six
months that a band leader has re-
ceived a living salary. Does Aber-
deem, Watertown, Redfield and other
leading cities of the state support
bands this way?
With a very few exceptions, there
are no business houses in the city
that would employ a band man to
help encourage an organization.
Other town do this. During the win
ter months. when orchestra music is
in demand and our band men could
furnish the same, how have they
been patronized? Instead of employ
ing home music they "a twice the
amount for outside organizations.
We have a nice theatre. 1t is a
pride of the city, but how often dc
you hear an orchestra, which to
many, is "half the show" An orches.
the business much more than the
expense would be.
The general public looks upon {
band mans job as a pleasant pas
time. If they would go into thu
bandroom for a months rehersa
they would know more about tn.
sacrifice musicians have to make il
order to build up a reputable organ
ization. These are the main reason
} why Mitchell has no band and as on,
who knows, we say, never will hav,
one, until these conditions are chang
ed.

The Wish Book.

An ingenious woman who is fond OF
music and art has made an interesting
wish book, which she calls Tho Moon
beam" It's plan is based on the super
stitiOn that wishes made when seeing
the new moon will be granted.
1t is charming little conceit and has
just that symbolic touch that every
person wishes. 1t is got up in an
artistic way, with a number of illustra-
tons representing scenes in which the
moon appears.
Each page has a border illustrated
with fanciful and symbolic designs.
In fact, the spirit of superstition is
brought into play on every page of the
book
On the pages are spaces for each day
Of the year in which wishers are to
write their most precious desires, sign
ing their names beneath There are
also pages for common everyday
wishes.

LEARN TO BREATHE PROPERLY.
Better Health and Greatly Improved
Carriage Is Thus Acquired.

One of the first things that the wom-
an who is earnestly endeavoring to
obtain beauty must seek to learn is
how to breathe properly. Have you
ever noticed that women who are
singers have a prettily developed
bust, a rounded waist, firmly set
shoulders, as we'll as an easy carriage
and a well-poised head? Not only is
this seen in professional singers, but
notice your own friends who have gone
in for vocal culture for their own
pleasure and you will find that this is
true in almost every case.
A fine carriage is often mistaken
for a fine figure. The woman who at
tracts notice holds her head well up,
her shoulders back. and she walks
briskly and lightly. Another woman
may have a much better figure, but
she moves along with dropping head
and sloping shoulders and a slow
heavy walk. You cannot breathe prop
erly with stopped shoulders.
Begin your breathing lesson in the
morning the minute you hop out OF
bed. Raise to the half all the windows
in the room and walk slowly across
the room three times, with your hands
upon your hips and your chest held
high. Breathe from the abdomen
This exercise should be taken before
any clothes, with the exception of a
warm cozy wrapper, have been put
on. After practicing this exercise,
which should not take more than ten
minutes, every morning for a short
time you will find yourself in better
health generally and with a fuller
chest and bust and a smaller rounded
waist.
