REMOVAL OF LAND OFFICE.

The secretary of the interior has
issued an order transferring the land
Office at Mitchell to the town of Greg
Dry, in Gregory county. The town
of Dallas was also candidate for the
Office and quite a fight has been on in
Washington for the past two weeks
as to which town would win out.
The removal of the Office is for the
purpose Of transacting the business
of the Trip county opening, which
takes place in March, and which will
be attached to Gregory county.
Register Burns and Receiver Bryan
will hold their positions and move to
Gregory. They expect that within
thirty or fifty days they will be es-
tablished in the new location. There
will be an immense amount of bust
ness to transact, and will bring the
salary of the positions up to the
maximum, about $1,000.

DECISION in A PATENT CASE.

Since the decision was given out by
the United States land office with re-
ference to the case Of Gilbert Satrang,
of Canton, there has been consider
able worrying on the part of others
who are expecting patents from the
land Office, and they were somewhat
embarrassed as to what would be the
attitude of the government land office.
United States Commissioner McLain
of Presho, has had some correspond
ence with the land office concerning
the Satrang decision, and asked the
question if patents now will be with
held pending Investigations by speci-
al agents Of the land office. Fred
Dennet, commissioner, made the fol-
lowing reply: "You are advised that
unless there is a protest, or contest,
or other objections to an entryman's
yroof, patent will not be withheld,
but will issue in due course Of the
business of this office.
Concerning a further question, eff
a real estate mortgage upon the land,
where the patent has not been issued.
and which has passed only to final
certificate, may be considered safe
security for the debt represented by
it?'' the commissioner makes reply to
the effect that until patent issues a
MORTGAGE or transferee can acquire
no greater interest in the land than
the entryman himself has, and a
mortgage will be subject to all the
equities that the entryman's interest
in the land is subject to. The can
collation. Of the entry would wipe out
the security for the mortgage. =

DAIRYING is PROFITABLE

Those who think that there is no
money in dairying should rememb Der
that there are countries in Europe
where land is valued at several hun
bred dollars an acre, yet money is be-
ing made out Of it by dairying. The
same markets are open to lis as are
open to the men who work on these
lands, and duty bars the way. How
do they ever make dairying pay I'M
der such conditions? The difference
between their methods and ours is
largely to be fonnd in the facts that
in these countries they demand an
average butter production of about
three hundred pounds from each COW,
while we are jogging along with a
little more than hundred pound
average. This country needs an
awakening in regard to the possibilit-
les of improving our dairy conditions
by selection of COWS. There is a loud
demand for pure milk in the large
cities and the business of furnishing
the milk supply is becoming urgent
and is being built on a new basis. "A
great awakening is now taking place
in the milk business Of large cities. It
has never been too sanitary or cleanly
and there is even demand for a nett as-
kpaent,

The annual meeting Of the State Bar
Association opened in this city on
Wednesday and closed today. The

This association is an important
factor among the states voluntary
associations for the common veal,

terest Of the state, as we'll as for the
mutual advantages Of it's membership.
The present meeting might be called
a biennial, for it's assemblies during
each session of the legislature at
Pierre.
One OF the principal questions. con
sidered is the increase Of the supreme
court. Another important subject
considered was the creation Of
some new iuicial circuits. The recon-
mendations of the association will be
presented to the judicial committees
of the legislature, and will have
| weight in determining the action Of
the committees, and of the bodies
they represent. AS All alternative to
increasing the number of supreme
court judges a proposition will be pre-
sented for relieving the supreme court
| by temporary commission. The
chief discussions OF the meeting CEN
| tered around these two propositions.
| Other important questions to receive
attention will concern legal reforms,
or means of facilitating the admins
| tration of justice, and SO reduce the
laws delays to a minimum. The great
delays occur in the securing of reviews
on appeal. 1t is stated that cases are
yet waiting attention which were
argued three years ago. The gather
ing of the bar association was proceed
ed by a meeting of the states attor-
neys on Tuesday. A banquet tonight

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZFEA.
They Clog the POres-Only Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory Of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different sa1ves have been tried for
skin diseases. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as
compounded in d. D. D. Prescription.
After ten years of cure after cure, the
worlds leading skin specialists have
accepted this as the true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend D. d. d. Prescription at
$1.00 a bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we arranged with the D. D.
D. Laboratories of Chicago for a spe-
cial large trial bottle at 25 cents on
a special offer now. This first bottle
ought to convince every sufferer, and
at any rate, it will surely take away
the itch at once. Dodson's Pharmacy.

LIFE ISN'T WORTH LIVING.
When This Statement Is Made 1t May
Be Generally Attributed to the
Lack of Good Health.

We want to talk to people who are
nervous, who suffer frequent head
aches, who don't enjoy their food,
who are irritable, quickly lose their
temper, who are so exhausted that
they feel they must give up, and
have become so respondent that life
doesn't seem worth living. We believe
we know what is the matter with these
people in this condition, and if they
will follow our advice we can tell
them how to regain good health and
that buoyancy of feeling which makes
life seem surrounded with happiness
and sunshine.
Most of the above described condi-
tons are chiefly caused by what is
commonly called catarrh, a "below
par" condition of mucous membranes.
This delicate lining of certain of the
body cavities becomes weakened, in
famed and congested until the whole
system is weakened, mental depres-
sion ensuing as one of the results.
The wise way to overcome this condi-
ton is through a treatment of the
general system. We have the treat
ment, and we are so positive it will
produce the results we claim for It
that we will supply it to any one with
the understanding that we vii return
to them every penny paid us in every
instance where the treatment is not
in every way satisfactory and benefi-
cial to them.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone, which is a scientifically devised
attentive tonic and body builder, its
action being to aid the body in it's eff
fort to re-establish the natural and
healthy functions of the mucous men,

tiful and permanent things of life that
it is more than play, more than
novel, more than mere book 1t is
a page from life itself, revealing the
brotherhood of man as a real breath
ing thing; showing how the impossi-
BILE has become possible. According
to the critics: Not in a lifetime has
