RICH RED BLOOD.
You Will Never Have 1t as Long as
You Have Dyspepsia.

Just as long as you have dyspepsia
your food will not properly digest, and
the nutritious elements in the food will
not be extracted or absorbed, and i'm
poverished or watery blood will follow.
This condition may not be apparent
at first, but it will come just as sure as
the sun will rise again.
Any stomach ailment, including all
forms of indigestion, can be promptly
cured by using Mi-o-na tablets, scien-
tific treatment unsurpassed.
1t stops fermentation, belching of gas
and taste of sour food almost at once.
The mighty power of Mi-o-na to invig-
crate and restore the stomach to perfect
condition is known everywhere.
Mi-o-na cures by building up-by
banishing the cause. For thin people
it is a great flesh builder, because it
causes the stomach to give more and
purer nutrition to the blood. 1t cures
sea and car sickness and vomiting OF
pregnancy almost Immediately L. p
Van Werden sells Mi-o-na for 80 cents
large box, and guarantees it to cure
or money back.

Sad Accident,

Carlos Smith, Glen Dillon and Harvey
Lasley went hunting Saturday after
noon last. While they were lying in
wait at the edge of pond near Orlando
Works farm south of the old cemetery,
some ducks came near, and Carlos grasp
en- his gun which seems to have been
lying in the grass with the muzzle
pointed towards him, and in pulling it
towards him it was fired, the charge
striking him in the right arm, and
shattering it SO completely that it had
to be amputated.
When the boys recovered from their
shock they discovered that they had
not even a handkerchief in which to
wrap the wounded limb; so at the sug-
gestion of Carlos himself they took hold
of his arm and supported it in that way
as they walked to the farm house of
Mr.. o. Works. Nobody being at home,
the boys got to the phone by means of a
window and called DR.. Golf, informing
him that he was needed to set broken
arm. The doctor prepared for this
work and went out, but discovered at
once that the arm could not be saved;
and so with Mr.. Waddell to hold the
wounded boy, he drove back to town
with him. Here number of the rela-
tives, and Doctors A. D. Greer and ]. B.
Horner were summoned in consultation.
All agreed that nothing could be done
to save the limb, and so DR.. Golf ampu-
tated it, severing it near the shoulder.
This was done at DR.. COTS office, and
the suffering boy was afterwards re-
moved to his home.
On account of the severity of the
wound and the unavoidable delay be-
fore amputation, much intense suffering
was endured. But the lad is now in fair
way for recovery, and is quite cheeful.
The accident aside from it's painful
character, is peculiarly sad, because it
takes away the right arm of Mrs. Smiths
oldest boy, who would have been able
in few years to be great help to his
mother in her struggle to support a
large family of little children Lamont

INDIGESTION ENDS.
Misery from Your Disordered Stom-
aCh Goes in Five Minutes.

You can eat anything your stomach
Graves without fear of a case Of indiges-
ton or Dyspepsia, or that your food will
ferment or sour on your stomach if you
will occasionally take little Diapep-
sin after eating.
Yonr meals will taste good, and any
thing you eat will be digested: nothing
can ferment or turn into acid or poison
or stomach gas. which causes belching,
dizziness, feeling of fullness after eat
ing, nausea. Indigestion like lump of
lead in stomach), billiousness, heart
burn, water brash, pain in stomach and
intestines or other symptoms.
Headaches from the stomach are abso-
lutely unknown where this effective
remedy is used. Diapepsin really does
all the work Of a healthy stomach. 1t
digests your meals when your stomach
can't. Each triangule will digest all
the food you can cat and leave nothing
to ferment or sour.
Get large so cent case of Pape's
Diapepsin from your druggist and start
taking today and by tomorrow you will
actually L-ag about your healthy, strong
stomach, for you then can eat any thing
and everything you want without the
slightest discomfort or misery, and every
particle Of impurity and gas that is in
your stomach and intestines is going to
be carried away without the use of Taxa
tives or any other assistance.

South Dakota Letter.
OIuNN G n M,rcb

QUINN, S. d., March ], 1909.
EDITOR REPORTER we have been
in South Dakota one year this month
and have not written it was through
neglect that is all. We loaded our car
at Murray, Iowa, and set sail for Dakota
the Goth day of March 1908 and landed
at Quinn the 9th. Our car cost $3.50
and was held two days before they let
us unload, then we went to hauling to
our homestead six miles southeast of
Quinn, our railroad town. We put up
two tents and lived in them until we
got the house up, which is of sod cover
ed with lumber, then with tar roofing
paper, then painted with rubberoid
paint, and is 20x2G in size. We have a
sod barn and hen house, good rock
cave and willow COW shed. Cotton
wood is nine miles northeast of us. We
can see the Bad Lands and the cutters
that is washed in them from the house,
and can see the walls where so many
cattle are run over in time of storm
and killed, those are from 800 to 500 feet
high. We have had mild winter. We
had that hard wind in last month but
no snow, haven't had but little snow this
winter. The boys went to school the
day of the storm and John Streets
little girl went with them. will 20
back to the country; we have a nice
claim and we'll pleased with the coun-
try. don't think Iowa will ever hold
us again, it is SO much healthier here.
AS for my health it is much better here
than in Iowa. AS am alone to day l
could not help but let you know we are
still alive. There is land lawsuit in
Quinn to day, the men are there, it is
over the counterllne of desert claim,
which my son, H. T. Bevans, as good
many in Leon knew him, contested in
December. The railroad runs two and
one half miles north of our north line.
| Will send you some Of our county papers
if you like. Was sorry to see such bad
news about our old neighbors back in
Iowa. Our county joins Wyoming.

and Karg leading the horse, the caval- cadc moved slowly down to the creek, where a tiny stream purled among the rocks. The water revived the in jured man for a moment; he had even strength enough, with some help, to ride again; and moving in the same halting order, they took him to Reb, stocks cabin. Rebstock, at the door, refused to let the sinking man be brought into the house. He cursed Du Sang as the cause of all the trou- ble. But Du Sang cursed him with usury, and, while Whispering Smith listened, told Rebstock with bitter oaths that if he had given the boy Barney anything but a scrub horse they never would have been trailed. More than this concerning the affair Du Sang would not say, and never said. The procession turned from the door Seagrue led the way to Reb- stocks stable, and they laid Du Sang on some hay.
 Afterward they got cot under him. With surprising vitality he talked a long time to Whispering Smith, but at last fell into stupor. At nine o'clock that night he sat up. Ed Banks and Kennedy were standing beside the cot. Du Sang became delirious, and in his delirium called the name of Whispering Smith; but Smith was at BageG' cabin with Bill Dancing. In a spasm of pain, Du Sang, opening his eyes, suddenly threw himself back. The cot broke, and the dying man rolled under the feet of the frightened horses, In the light of the lanterns they lifted him back, but he was bleed ing slowly at the mouth quite dead
 The surgeon, afterward. found two fatal wounds upon him The first shot, passing through the stomach, ex- plained Du Sang's failure to kill at a distance in which, uninjUed, he could

 Bill Dancing, who had been hit in the head and stunned, had been moved back to the cabin at Mission Springs, and lay in the little bedroom. A doctor at Oroville had been sent for, but had not come. At midnight of the second day Smith, who was be- side his bed, saw him rouse up, and noted the brightness of his eyes as he looked around Bill he declared, hopefully, as he sat beside the bed, you are better, hang it, l know you are. How do you feel?'
 "Ain't that blamed doctor here yet? Then give me my boots. I'm going back to Medicine Bend to Doc Torpy.'
 In the morning Whispering Smith, who had cleansed and dressed the wound and felt sure the bullet had not penetrated the skull, offered no objec- tion to the proposal beyond caution ing him to ride slowly. You can go down part way with the prisoners, Bill" suggested Whispering Smith. Brill Young is going to take them to Oroville, and you can act as chair man of the guard
 Before the party started, Smith called Seagrue to him. George, you saved my life once. Do you remember in the Pan Handle? Well, l gave you yours twice in the Cache day be fore yesterday. I don't know how badly you are into this thing. If you kept clear of the killing at Tower w l will do what I can for you. Don talk to anybody"

CHAPTER xxVli-Continued.

It was not the first time the Will Hams Cache gang had sworn to get him and had worked together to do it. hut for the first time it looked as if they might do it. A single chance was left to Whispering Smith for his life, and with his coat slashed with bullets, he took it. For an instant his life hung on the success of a trick so ap palingly awkward that clever man might have failed in turning it. If his rife should play free in the scabbard as he reached for it, he could fall to the ground, releasing it as he plunged from the saddle, and make a fight on his feet. If the rife failed to release he was a dead man. To so narrow an issue are the cleverest combinations sometimes brought by chance He dropped his empty revolver, tucked like a mud-hen on his horses neck, threw back his leg, and, with all the precision he could summon, caught the grip of his muley in both hands. He made his fall heavily to the ground. landing on his shoulder But
 
 thing that rolled over the saddle, like the flash of porpoise fin was the barrel of the rife, secure in his hands. Karg, on horseback, was already bending over him, revolver in hand, but the shot was never fired. A 30-30 bullet from the ground knocked the gun into the air and tore every knuckle from Karg's hand. Du Sang spurred in from the right. A rifle-slug like an aX at the root caught him through the middle His fingers stiffened. His siX-shooter fell to the ground and he clutched his side.
