A Successful Cure for EPILEPSY

Many people who have been suffering
with Epilepsy for years have been cured
by Austro-American methods. This treat
ment is strictly scientific and invariably
successful, as the Austro-American Doctors
accept no case which they cannot cure.
Following is a letter from ]. S. Newell OF
Villisca, Ia, who had been suffering with
Epilepsy for years and had tried various
treatments and doctors without gaining re-
lief. He commenced taking the Austfo-
American treatment January 2Sth and his
Epileptic attacks have ceased entirely.
Villisca. Ia, May 10. 1909.
Theodore Milen, M. D., Omaha, Neb.
Dear Sir: Since taking the Austro.
American treatment | am feeling fine and
working every day. My Epileptic attacks
have stopped. Very truly.
]. s. NEWELL. Villisca, la.
More and more people Of Omaha, Ne
braska and surrounding states are learning
that the Austro-American treatment is the
most successful in the world for those suf-
fering with Rheumatism, Goitre, Epilepsy,
Gall Stones, Diseases of the Liver, Kidneys,
Stomach, Blood, Chronic and Nervous Dis
eases of Men and Women, etc. Since the
Austro-American Doctors have established
their Omaha office they have treated and
cured hundreds of seemingly hopeless cases,
many of which had been pronounced incur
able by ordinary physicians methods.

ETC., and does not think that South
Dakota's interests will be the least

Leod turns back to the stability of
the republican party of years gone
by and thinks that we should stand
by the history of the party on all
such measures, and brings in the
free silver proposition and several
other issues of like nature to turn
the hayward Longstaff away from
change in the schedule. The H%uronite
is of the opinion that the middle
classes of this country are entitled
to a little recognition after all the
a of devotion to building up the
industries, and that On all articles
where protection is not needed that
the tariff should be reduced. The
western people are demanding this
change in the tariff schedules, and
it is to be hoped hal they will get
them.

DIR. D. X. Pearsons, the college
philanthropist. of Chicago, has found
it possible to give away another
800, 900 to a college in his home
city. DR.. Pearsons has given a large
sum of money to Yankton college
in this state, and is still anxious to
get rid of his fortune. 1t was thirty
five years ago that DIR. Pearsons
gave his first $4,000 to this Chica-
go college and later he added $1S5,-
900 to that and now he presents it
with an additional 100000. The
b%enefactions of this liberal gentle
man have reached the SUN of over
$4,000, 900, and most all of it has
gone to the small college, which is
naturally lost sight of when it comes
to the distribution of large sums of
money.

AN OLD RAILROAD.

The Union Pacific railroad has just
celebrated it's fortieth anniversary,
and it brings back to the memory of
many of the older people of today the
construction of the system across the
great American desert, as hat coun-
try was called when the men COM
menced to lay the steel bands to the
Pacific coast. There is much history
connected with the building of that
road, and the government was much
concerned in it at the time, and for
many years afterward by reason of
the land grants. The Union Pacific
was built under some very exciting
scenes when the men were attacked
by the Indians and robbers of the
plains, but perseverance had it's re-
ward when the golden spike vas at
last driven. The ST. Louis Globe
Democrat makes an interesting COM
ment on this anniversary of the
Union Pacific, and refers to the large
amount of railroad building that has
been done in the years since then:
when, on May 10, 1869, Thomas
Durant and Leland Stanford drove
the golden spike which completed
the track laying of the Union and the
Central Pacific roads, did they or any
body else dream Of the expansion in
railway construction which the next
forty years would bring in the United
States? Probably not. The meeting
of the rails on that day took place
near Ogden, in Utah. There were
$4,000 miles Of railway main track
in the country at that time. A little
over 100000 miles are here now. The
railway system of the United States
at this moment has a capitalization
of over $4,000, 900, 900, which rep
resents an eighth of the s120,00O,-
900 of the wealth of the entire coun-
try in 1909.
"The event in Utah forty years ago
Icommemorated the completion of the
first of the transcontinental lines of
railway, and transmitted the dreams
of Asa Whitney and Thomas H. Ben
ton into fact. Today six lines span
the continent in the United States.
The Canadian Pacific extends from
the Atlantic to the big western ocean.
The Grand Trunk. Pacific another
road crossing through Canada, Is ex-
pected to touch the Pacific in 1911.
The Canadian Northern according to
present plans, will reach there by
1914 or earlier. Probably by the time
that Canada has it's three transcon-
tinental roads the United States will
have added one or two more to it,
own list.
'Three-quarters of a century ago
when we were sending to England
not only for rails and locomotives
but also for men to run the latter
who would have imagined that a day
would come when the United States
would not only exceed England il
railway mileage, but all of Europe:
That day came long age. The United
States in 1909 has ten times as man.
miles of railway main track as the
United Kingdom. 1t has 40 per CEN
more miles than all of Europe. 1t has
AZ per CEN of the mileage of the en-.
tire world. American built locomo.
tives may be found on every contin.
ent on the globe. The 100000 EN-.
ployes of the railways of the United
States constitute as large an arm.
as were under the Russian and Jap.
anese commanders combined at the
time when President Roosevelt
brought the truce in 1905 which led
to the peace Of Portmouth."

Editor Mcleod. of the Aberdeen
News, and Editor Longstan, of the

discussion in which the News man

straight on what he should follow

the revision should be downward

The Pierre Capital-Journal grows
justly indignant at Lieutenant Cover
nor .Shober for his statement made
in his Highmore paper concerning
the vote of Congressman Burke,
whom Shober declared voted for the
tariff on oil in the house. The Cap
ital-Journal in replying to Mr.. Shob-
er referred to the Congressional Rec
ord, page 1850, on April 8, to show
the record made of the vote OF Con-
gresham Burke against the Oil tar
iff. The situation must be growing
quite embarrassing to Mr.. Shober,
who is anxious to succeed Congress-
man Burke, by presenting such mat
ter to the people of this state. Con-
gresham Burke rarely departs from
the pathway Of the people in the sup
port of measures that are presented
in congress and this statement of
the lieutenant-governor is wholly I'M
justified.

QUEER RELIGIOUS SECT,

The readiness with which paople
will accept some new religious idea
is really surprising in this day and
age. A man will go into a colnmun-
ity with some outlandish notion n
the formation of a new religious
branch of the church, and will find
followers in numbers that are sur
prisingly large. An incident is re-
lated in a recent New York city pa
per of a society that has found a place
of rest in two widely different parts
of the country-New Jersey and
Washington and Oregon. Fo. abso-
lutte fo%olishness INC the way the oeo-
pie are gulled into following the
Speaking of this new sect the New
York paper says:
Zone of the strangest religious
sects in this country is the Hey
Ghosters, some times called "Holy
Rollers" because rolling is tie Gull
mination of their spasms of shouting
and jumping. Two divisions of the
sect have become notorious on OPP
posite shores of the nation one on
Long Island the other in Washing
ton and Oregon. Two years ago the
latter disrupted the community OF
CORVALLIS, Ore, and was directly
responsible for two murders "a Sent

by a husky colored man who can
shout to beat the band and throw

gymnastics. White women colnpri e

followers and force had to be used
in Brooklyn last week to separate
him from two Norwegian girls whom
he had annexed in his establishment.
They did not wish to go, so great WIS
his spell owe them.
"The two white girls hoped to
make up a family of seven in the
home of the Holy Ghoster's leader.
There were three negroes and four
whites. The negro head of the fam
lily is the "Rev." Brother Jonah Stur-
divant. The sisters in the little flat
in Brooklyn spent most of their time
in fasting and prayer, and in "bind-
ing the demons,' a ceremony which
required good lungs for shouting and
screaming, a strong and active body
for the acrobatics, and IN intense
religious fervor to Keep up the bat
tie until the demons were securely
bound.
"Sturdivant tried to make his fe-
male disciples follow the example OF
Christ and fast for forty days. but
the best he ever made them do was
a ten days stretch of continuous
fasting, with not even a drop of wat,
er to moisten their parched tongues
while the women were starving
themselves at S~turdivant's behest
Sturdivant was feasting on juicy
beefsteaks with other good things
to eat, according to the people who
have investigated his daily life. The
women deny that Sturdivant Toasted
in their presence while they tasted
and they refuse to believe that his
regular trips outside the house were
to nearby restaurants where he sat:

dear to the darkey appetite"

that it takes about five engine
