Mission Fund
Quickly Raised
Mitchell Student Who Wants to Go to
South America is Provided
with Necessary Money,

MITCHELL, S. D., April 2.-(special.)-
An incident of generous giving in the line
of missionary work occurred this after
noon at the UNCONVENTIONAL meeting Of the
men Of the Methodist church, which is in
line with the Laymen's Missionary move
ment. When the business was all but
finished John e. Washburn, university
student, arose and said that he had been
studying for several years with the idea
that he was going abroad as missionary,
and that he would finish his university
course in June and that he would then
be ready to make the start for South
America, his objective point. Washburn
said he had a conversation with DR..
Stuntz, the secretary Of the Board OF For
eign Missions. and the secretary informed
him that he could not send him over there
for a year, because the board did not
have the money. 1t was a great disap-
pointment 10 Washburn. and he told his
troubles to the men Of the church. II
struck them as a rather peculiar thing
that here was a man ready to take up
the work and no way 20 send him. In
fifteen minutes the men OF the Methodist
church pledged themselves TO raise 81 800
and pay II in by June 1, so that he can
start for his field in South America at

HON Made Tonic
for Spring Disorders

("Madelaine" in Woman's Journal)
receive so many letters every spring
from persons who complain of a tired
feeling on arising every morning-of a
sort OF "all gone" don't care" condi-
tion-thAt I am forced to believe that
everybody needs a tonic in the spring to
purify the blood, tone up the stomach
and liver and restore the human body
TO proper condition after the inactivity
OF winter
Spring usually finds the organs and
blood clogged with impurities. The feel
ing OF lRnguor and dullness, lack OF am
bition and energy, poor appetite. salIow
complexion, liver blotches, pimples and
other skin eruptions--all these are symp-
toms OF impure blood, deranged digestion
or torpid liver.
You can make full quart of good
tonic at home at a small cost that will
put your system In perfect condition
and rid you OF Spring Fever" In all it's
phases. Get from your druggist one
ounce OF kardene. mix It with u cup
sugar and add u pint of alcohol and 4
pints OF hot water. Take one tablespoon
full five minutes before each meal and
before retiring.
Kardene purifies the blood arouses
the liver. clears the skin, restores lost
appetite and strengthens and builds up
the entire system. There is no other blood
medicine as good II your druggist is out
OF hArosAs ask him TO get It for you

Two Bogus Deeds Filed for Record in
Charles Mix County, South

SIOUX FALLS, S. D.. April 2.-(Speclal)
What may prove to be a wholesale series
OF forgeries is indicated by the nature of
warranty deeds which were recently sent
to the register OF deeds OF Charles Mix

valuable farms in that county. 1t was
discovered that the grantors In at least
two OF the cases have no record title and
after recording the instruments Register
OF Deeds Patrick notified both parties who
had forwarded the deeds for record that
there must be some mistake, as grantors
had no record title in the land.
In one case an instrument purporting to
be an abstract OF title was returned show
ing five instruments. The patent in the
land was shown correctly, while the other
four instruments do not appear on the

Mayor Hooted
Off The Stage
In Pittsburg
Chief Executive Kissed and Jeered
While Trying to Speak on
Graft Scandal.

PITTSBURG, April 2.--The indignation Of
4,O0e citizens and of as many women over
the political corruption now being un-
esrthed by the grand jury by councilmanic
confessions and denunciation Of civic vice
generally was vehemently expressed last
night at mass meeting in Exposition hall.
Mayor William A. Magee, who sought to
address the meeting, was hooted off the
stage. The resentment shown was at the
chief executives failure to clean up the
red light district, delayed action on traction
problems and other local matters. The
meeting was addressed by several prom
inent reformers, but no definite action was
taken.
The meeting suddenly veered from its dis
cussion of the councilmanic cases when A.
We'll, president of the Voters league, made
general attack upon the mayor, which
received great applause
When he had concluded, Mr.. We'll, who
was chairman of the meeting announced:
The mayor asks If you will hear a Few
remarks from him"
Voices: Sure, sure land applause).
The mayor: There are some men who
have no fear. The mayor of your city is
one Of them"
A voice: 'Impeach him."
Chairman Well: Order, order"
Mayor: IF 1 were guilty of all the news
paper charges against me I would be
abashed; it would be only left for me to
resign"
Voices: Good good; you're afraid"
Mayor: Il knew when came here what
crowd 1 would meet. CHisses and hoots }
Mayor: Now that won't correct the
evils"
Voices You won't either"
Mayor: Maybe l can't"
Voice: You won't try"
With several pleas for order by Chairman
Well. Mayor Magee attempted to explain
his actions on many local matters. In the
midst of explanation of traction matters
he floundered with the remark; "Id like to
speak all night and go into detail"
GToans, boots and Kisses stopped the mayor
and he was compelled to desisr.
