AS usual 1t rained on Decoration
Day, but this was no bar to the very
successful observance of this historic
day at Miller. The services consist
ed of the usual program, of decora.
ton and services at the cemetery
by the old veterans, school children
and citizens, and an address by May
or Christ.
After dinner the opera house was
crowded to hear an interesting pro-
gram of music and speaking. The
songs of the children were greeted
with applause. Hon. J. l.. Lock-
hart, register of the Pierre land
office. was presented by Commander
Ober, as speaker of the day. He
paid an eloquent tribute to the
Grand Army and entertained his
large and appreciative audience with
an able address
This is one day in the year where
in our busy world pauses to salute
the gray haired veterans and the
fallen heroes, whose service to their
country is one of the bright memor-
les of patriotic sacrifice that shines
out like beacon light among the
selfish motives and impulses that
move the human family to action.

denomination in United States mon
ey, will not be in Aberdeen until
August |. Aberdeen banks will
then have them for distribution,
and they will gradually get into cir
culation. their bright facings ming
ling with the darker bronze of the
old pennies.
Under the law the designs on
these pieces cannot be altered
oftener than once every 25 years.
The new design replaces the old
familiar Indian head, and the figure
is that of the head of Lincoln, the
work of Victor d. Bremen, of New
York. a sculptor Of note. A number
of proofs for the new cast have been
passed upon by the director of the
mint. The stock of the new coin is
now being accumulated and will be
large enough to have the supply
sent out the latter part of July.
The nickel coin is next in line, its
time limit having expired, but as it
gives general satisfaction there has
been no disposition to alter it. A
report is shortly expected from the
mint on this last coin.

Railroad Boom at Onida

Pierre, May 81. The people about
Onida have become railroad crazy
the past few days. A party of North
western surveyors arrived at the
town. having run line out from
Blunt and have established a camp
at Onida, which indicates a stay of
some time. AS a result the owners
of real estate anywhere within ten
miles off Onida have been falling
over themselves to either get their
land Of the market or else notify the
agents in charge of the sale that the
old prices do not stand any longer,
but are subject to raise without
further notice.

COAL LANDS
IN SOUTH OAK.
Government Determining Extent
Of Coal Deposits West of
the River

Pierre, June l.-Allotting Agent
j. ID. Deets was in from the work on
Cheyenne River reservation Satur-
day, and reports the allotting work
well along, being now up to the
geological survey force, which is
going over the land to determine as
to what coal deposits are to be found
and their extent. The finding of
this force il it shows sufficient coal
deposits may mean that a part of
the tract will not be opened to home
stead settlement, but will be dis
posed of as coal lands. Just what
their findings will be is unknown.
but it is certain that there are coal
out-croppings in that part of the
state, and it is only a question as to
whether they are sufficient to give
them commercial value as to what
will be done with them. On account
of troubles in getting started the
appraisement force has just got to
work on that reservation, but the
work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible with a view to get ready
for the registration this fall, and
settlement of that part of the state
next spring.

ment

The Class Day exercises given by

bett anu VIM. Saltmarsh, dealing
with the events of their four wears
in high school, and given by the
whole class. 1t Was followed by the

prophecy disposed of the futures of
the class IN way which showed the
author to be gifted with wonder
full imagination, or a truly second
sight.
4 The class song was written Dy
Miss Vera Henyan, and made very
spleasing close to the class play
Miss Ethlyne Berry was next on the
program with the class presentation
and she won the instant approval o!
the audience by her happy manner.

efforts held the program fully up tt
the high standard set by the othel
members of the class.
Friday evening DR.. McMurray. o.
Mitchell, delivered the class address
before large audience, followed by

IA POSITIVE CURE
 FOR INDIGESTION
Food Improperly Digested Rots in the Stomach and.
 Bowels

Plain language, but true in 90 per cent. of cases of stomach trouble.
 Do you have little desire for food, and eat just little from force of hab- it; feel overfull, uneasy and distressed immediately after eating; have difh- culty in breathing; belching of gas, with taste of sour food in mouth?
 If you have any of the above symp- toms you have indigestion-your food It does more; it decays, and the nu- tritious matter which should go to make new blood decays with it, and this leads to an impoverished condf- ton of the blood, to nervousness, bi1- iousness, constipation, sick headache, bad breath, which disgusts your friends and other disagreeable and conditions.
 And all this trouble is caused by the food that doesn't digest, but ferments in the stomach.
 And fermentation is caused by the stomach not being strong enough to mix the food with the di- gestive juices
 Tired-out stomach you might call it. but at any rate it should be quick ly rectified if you would enjoy life. MONA is recognized the world over as the leading stomach tonic, and it is responsible for tens of thousands of cures. In fact, it is such a positive cure for indigestion and all stomach troubles that it is guaranteed to cure or money back. It is for sale by all druggists for 50 cents a large box. Mi-o-na is sold in every city in Amer ica.C and it is sure to relieve the worst case of indigestion or gastritis in 2 few hours.
