II the reader wants stronger proof
than the following statement and ex-
%perience of a resident of Mitchell,
what can it be?
Mrs. Mary E. Perry, III West
Eleventh Ave. Mitchell, S. OAK,
says: 1T is impossible for me to ex-
press my gratitude to Doan's Kidney
Pills. 1 believe l inherited kidney
disease, as l suffered from it since
1 was a small girl and my sister
died from the malady. l consulted
the best physicians around here and
they stated that l had Bright's dis
ease. and could not possibly live
more than a few weeks. Dropsy also
set in and my limbs became badly
swollen. Everybody thought l was
beyond the power of medicine when
I began the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills. This remedy brought about a
change for the better from the first
and gradually my health improved
until l was able to get about the
house. The dropsical swelling in my
limbs subsided and 1 felt like a diff
ferent woman. Continued use of
Doan's Kidney Pills rid me of kid
ney trouble"
The above statement was given in
August 1907 and on August %, 1910,
Mrs. Perry said: II still think high
ly Of Doan's Kidney Pills and l be-
lieve they saved my life. 1 gladly
confirm all l have ever said in favor

Pierre, s. D.--Whtle the session or
two years ago materially reduced the
number OF places to be filled by leg
islative appointment. the number OF
applicants appear to be about as nu-
merous as usual, and the swearing
train which will pull out about Tues
day evening will carry a larger load
than usual. The applicants for place
who are on the ground appear 10 be:
For chief clerk of the house, Wal
lace Burden of Lead. and F. A. Coun-
tryman Of WATERFOWL.
Edward Moscrip OF Lincoln, is
again asking for the place OF SER
geant at arms of the house, with a
Stanley county NAN .aid to be COM
ing in on the same errand.
A. K. Crawford of Grant and Eli
Stears. of Day, both desire the place
of postmaster of the house, with no
assistant position for a consolation
prize.
Arthur Jensen, of Hurley aspires
to the position of messenger of the
house, a climb from page, which po-
sition he filled for several sessions.
In the senate list, n the ground
is George VanCamp asking for the
position of secretary, with l.. M,
Simons of Belle Fourche a possible
contestant.
Samuel Nash of Minnehaha and
Bernard Vessey OF Jeraul are the
contestants for the bill clerkship OF
the senate.
John Mcdonald of Huron, for sew
eral years assistant sergeant at arms
of the senate wants the chiefs posi-
ton, and A. B. Core Of Pierre is
lookinf for the same place.
So far, OUTSIDE the applicants for
clerkships, who must take civil SER
vice examinations for their places;
and the cloud of ambitious small boys
who want to be pages of the two
houses, the above appears so far as
can be learned the list on hand.
AS the members arrive they get
around to the new state building and
the comments on the different quar-
tiers in which they will work as COM
pared with those Ct the old wooden
building are more than favorable on
the part of all visitors to the build
ing.

Pierre, S. Dup to this morning,
the candidates for the different ap-
pointive positions in the legislature
have been playing thei rown game.
But Chairman Cook of the state COM
mittee and H. c. Shober, arrived this
morning, and there will no doubt be
something doing in the way of lin
ing up the appointments before night.
OF course they disclaim any inten-
ton of taking part in this contest,
but the candidates are watching what
they may do.
While it looks more and more like
c. ]. Morris will be chosen speaker,
as repeatedly predicted by The Re-
publican, E. C. Issenhuth, the Sphinx
county candidate, comedies nothing
up to the present.
The members of the legislature
are slow in gathering, probably on
account Of the cold weather. Wheth-
er a caucus will be called depends on
the number who arrive on afternoon
trains and upon this depends wheth-
er it will be held tonight or tomorrow
morning. The heads of the different
state institutions and members OF
the state boards, are gathering to
make their requests of the legisla-
ture, but they will be forced to cut
their estimates in many cases if talk
on the part Of the members is any
indication of the real situation.
Good guesses on the Senate chair

ley is being rushed to Chicago, in the
hopes that proper medical aid can
be given before the fatal disease, ad-
vances to a stage where it is beyond

He will be taken to the Pasteur
Institute, and it is thought that If
there is no delay in train service the
lad will not lose his life.
The city was thrown into a frenzy
when the Infatuated dog was on his
rampage, and it "a not until the
officers and several citizen, armed
with guns, ran the dangerous beast
to earth and shot him that the peo-
pie relaxed from the strain under
which they had been laboring.
However, before the dog was kill
ed, it had bitten several others, and
as a result all dogs known to have
been infected have been ordered shot
and the mayor has issued an order
that all dogs in the city be muzzled
for an indefinite period.

miles, which the Northwestern Is said
