PURELY VEGETABLE
TEE one SAFE BLOOD REMEDY

1t is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan-
ical kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
IN every way than those composed of
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest Of vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks. in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
fieTs and the finest of all tonics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, ard
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofu1a, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. It is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S. S. S. is unequalled as a
tonic; it invigorates every portion of
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement of the stomach
and digestive system If you need a
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. S. S. It has been in
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on

and that others who have gone about
it right in the Antelope creek country
say the same thing. 1t is the same
old story which has been retold in
every farming country on earth. The
man who farms gets crop, whether
the sea son is wet or dry, while the
fellow who tills the soil while sitting
on box at the corner grocery, never
raises anything, and then cusses the
country and the weather.

Crop conditions Improving

MANY of the drouth stricken
sections of the Northwest have re-
norted heavy rains or good show
ers within the past week. The
crop condition is improving,
though continuing hot weather
still threatens damage in many
localities. Estimates of the wheat
crop range from a quarter
to three-quarters of crop
with likelihood that the
crop will fall about midway be-
tween these estimates. Corn is not
damaged, but must still run the
gauntlet of many hot summer
weeks before it is out of danger.
There have been no showers OF
any extent in any part of the coun-
ty during the past week except in
the extreme eastern portion. A
heavy rain fell at Fort Pierre Mon
day night, the downpour continu-
ing for almost two hours. The
rain did not extend up the county
very far. On the same day good
showers were reported from Rapid
City. None of these, however,
extended as far as the Pennington
county line.

method OF denying the right OF
petition at all. 1t encounters the
absurdity of saying that l have a
right to ask for something, but if
my neiehbor asks for something
different, then neither of us have
a right to ask for anything. 1t
also established this remarkable
proposition. Any proposed coun-
ty in the west end of Stanley coun-
ty can be defeated by a counter
proposition in the east end over
tapping a single township of the
proposed west end county. The
proposed east end county could be
signed by petitioners whose only
desire was to defeat county division
and keep the county intact. With
this wonderful proposition of law
once established, it will be possible
for the opponents of county divi-
sion, located in any twenty-four
contiguous townships to defeat
county division for all time to
come. The territory needs only
to be contiguous. The proposed
anti-division county may reach out
a strip of townships, six miles
wide and one hundred twenty-four
miles in length, to string your pro-
posed county in its vitals. More
than this the proposition announced
leads to the following irresistible
conclusion: Sterling county petit
TONERS by themselves have an
absolute right to petition for their
county this year, Jackson and Iowa
counties some other time when
there is no conflict; but not in the
same year. This presupposes that
a voter of this county has some
rights in one year that he may not
have another.
These are some of the reasons
why the position of the county
commissioners is unsound. A
cordial invitation is extended to
anyone desiring to point out the
fallacies of our reasoning and the
logical support the board so sorely
needs. We don't care for your
prejudices. If you can't reason
about the matter in a judlciOuS
fashion keep your yammer to
yourself.
The board simply wished to
throw the matter into the courts
and cause delay and obstruction.
They needed an excuse, in absence
of a logical reason, for their action
and they took the one nearest at
hand. The vote stood one for the
petitions and four against, Morri-
son being the single member voting
in the affirmative.
No plan of action is yet definite
ly formulated, but it is safe to say
that the preliminary notices in an
application for an alternative writ
of mandamus against the board
will be served as soon as they can
be prepared by the attorneys who
are acting for the Iowa county
petitioners. 1t is not known what
action will be taken by the peti-
tioners for the Sterling and Jack
son county propositions.
