radical suits" Mr.. Gretzer said. But
never in the widest flight of magma
ton did any ~unintoxicated designer
dare propose a thing like this. Isn't
she a beauty"
She is.
The suit is made from two different
colors of cloth. One is a dark brown,
the other a sort of ice cream color
wit a stripe through it. You can't
tell by looking whether 1t is a last
spring or a f~all-after-next outfit. The
flaps on the pockets, the cuffs on the
sleeves and those on the bottom or
the trousers are of the lighter mater
ial. Wherever there is room for a
button, a button is there. If any n
asks you, who's got the button!

this suit. The cut of the coat is an
extreme dip. The seams are all open
flaps about an inch wide that Will
stand out when the Dakota breezes
hit them like fins on a fish. The mar
who ordered it knew what he wanted,
for he sent documentary evidence
plans and specifications-of every lit
tie detail of the suit. How many
nights he spent in solitude OF the Da-
kota plains only he knows. However,
it is going to be worn in the same
solitude.-Kansas City Times.

ness men of Brookings and every farm
er in the country tributary. We refer
to the Bookings Creamery. Mr.. Mel
son, the proprietor, is running a first
class creamery, and is paying from 3
to 4 cents more for cream than any
neighboring concern, and we believe
that it is to the interests of the farm
ers to give him their patronage. I'm.
til Mr.. Nelson opened his creamery
several months ago, the farmers were
obliged to ship their cream to the
wholesalers, and had to take only what
those concerns were willing to give,
not what the product was worth. Now
it is entirely different, the farmer re-
ceives the highest market price, and
gets it in cash as soon as his cream
is weighed.
During the month of September Mr..
Nelson made 1884 pounds of butter,
and took in 1875 pounds of cream
of which the average test was 34.14,
and made 4,36S pounds of butter fat.
During the month he paid to his pa
irons $912.31. A considerable part
of the product of the creamery is con-
sumed at home and the balance is
shipped to the Chicago market.

ENEMY OF TARIFF.
Labor World Sees Danger in Bryan
Plan of Tariff for Revenue Only.
lErom the Labor WORLDLY

(From the Labor WORLDLY
Workingmen and producers generally
should not delude themselves with the
belief that, If Mr.. Bryan shall be elect
ed President. his plans for revision OF
the tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr.. Bryan Is the professed
enemy Of the tariff system. He would
impose duties, If at all, for revenue
purposes only. On articles competing
with what he chooses to call trust-made
goods he would have no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit In import duties
arising from revised schedules he esti-
mates would be more than made up by
increased imports. OF course, his hope
is to strike at the great protection
States, which happen to be Republican
in politics, like Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, West Vir-
ginia, etc. 1t does not seem to matter
to him that every dollars worth Of for
eign goods in the competitive class COM
ing into the United States on a revenue
or free trade basis necessarily by so
much reduces the demand for home
goods, thus displacing just that much
American labor. What he wants to do
is to rebuke and avenge himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agree woth him in politics and who will
have none of him at the polls, says an
exchange.
But while Mr.. Bryan is cunning for
protected industries and Republican
States, once his proposed tariff law
upon all sections Of the country, the
only differences between one State and
Another being in the degree of hardship
imposed.
We hear of workingmen saying that
this time they intend to vote for Mr..
Bryan, because for the past ten months
we have had hard times. But what
good will that do? How is a tariff for
revenue, ignoring the protection idea
altogether, going to open the shops and
mills? How will the election Of Sena
tors by direct vote start the wheels OF
industry? Or the publication Of can
paign contributions? Or the further
harassment Of the railroads. Or the
reorganization Of the House, so that
the Speaker may be powerless? Why
open this country now to the markets
Of the world when we have not SUM.
cient demand to consum what we our.
selves manufacture? Under Republi.
can rule we have Just had ten years Of
unparalleled prosperity. Under Dem.
ocratic administrations We have nevei
had prosperity for any period. long OF
short.

What will appear very interesting TO

Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three
ounces Shake well In a bottle and

meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at home.
when asked regarding this prescrip-
ton, stated that the ingredients are
all harmless, and can be obtained at a
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up If asked to do 30. He further
stated that while this prescription Is
often prescribed In rheumatic afiic-
lions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why 1t would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and uri-
mary troubles and backache as It has
peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most impor-
tant organs and helping them to
sift and litter from the blood the foul
acids and waste matter which cause
siclmess and suffering. Those Of our
readers who suffer al make no mis-
take In giving It q trial.
