RECIPROCITY EXPLAINED.

Senator Coe l. Crawford gives the
following reasons why he is against
reciprocity and incidentally gives con
siderable light on how that measure
may be expected to work:
II regret very much that the con-
ditions of this trade agreement are
so outrageously unfair to the north
west that | cannot persuade myself to
vote for it.
so far as the people of my state
are concerned, it is not a reciprocity
treaty at all, but a wholly one-sided
agreement. For instance, if it is en-
acted into law, Canadian wheat will
come across the border free, but Can
adam flour will have to pay a tariff.
II the purpose is to admit Canadian
wheat free to give cheaper living to
the people of the country, why should
not the Canadian flour be admitted
free? 1t looks very much to me as
thought the %rentention Of the tariff
upon -four gives the case away, and
shows that the treaty was made for
the benefit of the millers of Mime
apolis and elsewhere and Mr.. Hills
railroads. while the consuming public
did not cut much figure in the arrange
ment. D
II would vote for this trade agree
ment if 1t gave to the people of the
prairies of South Dakota free lumber
and other advantages; but 1t does not
Under this pact the logs will no longer
come In free and a tariff will remair
on finished lumber OF all kinds, re
duoed somewhat ii is true. but never
theless a substantial tariff upon fin
lished lumber win remain. Rougi
boards will be on the free list. VIVA

Brookings People Give Credit Where
Credit is Due.

People of BroOkings who suffer with
sick kidneys and bad backs wait a
kidney remedy that can be depended
upon. The best is Doan's Kidney
pills, q medicine for the kidneys only,
made from pure roots and herbs, and
the only one that is backed by cures
in Brookings. Here's Bookings tes-
timony:
b. C. Toliver, of Brookings, S. D.,
says: Kidney trouble in my case
was Of long standing and caused me
much misery. At times | was pros
trated by pains in my back. OF all
OF the medicines / have ever used,
Doan's Kidney pills have been the
most effective and l do not reilly
know what | would have done without
them. l recommenI this preparation
strongly in return for the benefit 1t
has brought me and l hope that other
kidney sufferers will profit by my ex-
perience."

the law provides that if any other

charged for filing, and that for any
addition TO the form provided
a specified charge per folio can be ad-
ded to the filing fee. These two acts
taken together will make the trans

complicated than under the old con

a demand for the "Torrens system of

Heads of Families in chittenden Need
to Keep at Work.

Rutland, June IA The people of
Chittenden are much excited because
three families of about FIVE individuals
each have been quarantined for small
pox by the local health officer on the
ground that one or more members Of
each have been exposed to the disease.
They are relatives of Mrs, Rowell Roll
Inns of this city, who is i'll with small
pox, and thew visited her before her
aiiment was diagnosed as that disease
None of these exposed have shown any
symptoms of the malady and there is
considerable Indignation because the
heads Of all three houses are men in
need of money, who would have steady
work were it not for the quarantine
restrictions The families affected are
those of Joseph, Harley and Dennis

" Brooks, president, and John Thapha-
gan, assistant treasurer pleaded guilty
10 technical fraud, and all three will
be fined instead OF being imprisoned
The district attorney said he would not
press for jail sentence All three of
the men left the court room, and sen
I tence win be imposed later
In the ss-examination of Mr.
Plass he was asked series Of ques-
tions about the taking Of money from
the redemption fund Of the company for
use in an emergency" for other pur-
poses than those for which the litera-
ture OF the company stated the fund
was to be used
According to the terms of the trust

indicating one of the chief features of
the companys plan.
He was made to read to the jury
this statement from one of the circu-
lars of the company: "The redeemable
feature is the principal feature Of the
company" and stated that he did not
know who wrote the sentence for the
circular He believed every statement
in the pamphlet which he bad prepared
was true when it was written
In his opening argument Mr.. Feeney
said: John Traphagen is charged
with devising this scheme He had been
