This is the Case With Many
Webster People

Too many Webster citizens are
handicapped with bad backs. The
~unceasing pain causes constant misery
making work a burden and STOPPING or
or lifting an impossibility. The back
aches at night, preventing refreshing
rest and in the morning is stiff and
lame, plasters and liniments may give
relief but cannot reach the cause. To
eliminate the pains and aches you must
cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sick kid
neys- thousands testify to their merit.
Can you doubt Webster evidence?
Mrs. Edward Magnus, Webster, S.
Dak., says: 81 willingly recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills, for I know them
to be an excellent kidney medicine.
They rid a member of our household of
an attack of kidney complaint after it
had reached a critical stage and ha1
failed to yield to other Preparations
This person had been laid up for weeks
by torturing pains through the kidneys
and his back was so lame that he could
hardly get around. The contents of
the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills,
procured from the Irwin Pharmacy,
gave me relief and by the time n box
had been used every symptom of Kid
ney trouble had disappeared"

Gone TO the "show Meo State

Rev. H. Nelson Tragitt, who has had
charge of the Sisseton Episcopal church
for the past thirteen years and of the
Milbank church for the past fifteen
years, preached his farewell sermon at
the Guild Hall, last Sunday evening, and
on Tuesday departed for Rowland, Mo-,
where he has accepted the ~pastorate of
Christ church. Rowlandis town of about
5000 inhabitants, is situated in the heart
of the Ozarks, and is one of the oldest
and most picturesque of Missouri's small
Ter cities. The school of mines, which
is one of the important state institu-
tions, is located at Rowland.
Rev. Tragitt has a number of warm
friends and admirers in Sisseton, among
whom the editor of the Standard is
pleased to be numbered, all of whom
will hope for his success, good health
and happiness in the show me" state.
And we do not hesitate to express the
opinion that the brand of religion which
the reverend gentleman carries in his
soul is the sort that will stand the test
of time. -Sisseton Standard.

Famous Book COLLECTIONS.

One of the worlds best collection
of books on Turkey and the Balkan
states is in an American library. 1t
is the famous Rant collection now
in Harvard University library, anu
it is Interestingly described n q bull
letin just issued by the United States
Bureau of Education. 1t was ac-
CURED by Harvard in 1889 and has
since been added to,S until today
the section on the Ottoman empire
comprises about 1000 volumes.
American libraries have a very
large number of valuable special
collections. What is probaly the
most important Dante collection III
existence is at Cornell, and the same
institution has collection on the
French revolution that experts say
can hardly be surpassed even in
France. The most remarkable set
of Bibles in the world, comprising a
large number of first editions and
unique copies, is in the library of the
General Theological Seminary in
New York. New York City also has
one of the most nearly complete
collections of books on Hebrew sub
jects, that in the Jewish Theological
Seminary, consisting of $4,000 vol
umes. One of the finest Libraries of
Japanese material TO be found any
where is at Yale University. In
works on mystic subjects it would
be difficult to duplicate in Europe
the great collection in the Masonic
Library at Cedar Rapids, Ia, or the
similar collection of books and man
uscripts on ritual and ceremonial in
the Massachusetts Grand Lodge OF
Masons at Boston.
For a great collection Of works on
German socialism the expert need
not look to Germany; he can find it
in the United States. At the wis
consin State Historical Library, at
Madison, is the schlueter collection,
containing many works not found

Motor Car Restrictions,

Testimony given at the investiga-
ton of recent fatal automobile ac-
c4dent emphasizes the common be-
lief that there has been a general
disregard of speed limitations and
other precautions regarding the
driving of motor cars in this city.
The investigation has also disclosed
the apparent fact that very few per-
sons, including drivers of automo-
bles and even officers of the law,
do not know what speed I'm
it exists and whether it is by virtue
OF state or municipal law. In view
OF the increasing use of motor cars
here, these are conditions that ought
not TO be longer tolerated.
1t is not the purpose Of this arti-
Gle to treat of the automobile that
figured in the fatal accident men
toned, as that is being Investigated
by jury; but when preponder-
ance of testimony before such a
body shows that there is a general
disregard of speed limits and regula-
tiona, or that such is the common
opinion, it is high time that some
cognizance should be taken of the
situation to the end that motor cars
shall be more strictly regulated,
and that these regulations shall be
enforced.
Automobile drivers who are
courteous, law-abiding persons fire.
quently break over the speed limit
when trying to go up some of the
hills in the city but without any in
tent to break the law nor to endan-
ger occupants of thoir cars or pedes-
TRANS. The East-West Main street
IthilIs present a sore temptation to
the arso driver to speed his machine
BIT in order to take the ACTIVITY
without stalling the machine or
killing" the engine. On this ac-
count the speed limit is exceeded in
such places more frequently than
iii css!::c"s; but it is just at such
places that danger turks, formidable
though unseen and unsupported. At
the foot OF the Main street hills, for
example, there is narrow bridge
over Elk creek, the traffic OF tho
main and side streets constantly
pours through that narrow bridge
and when an automobile or street
car is upon it, there is scarcely room
for another vehicle to pass.
! It is deplorable that there should
be such disregard of motor car re-
strictions and a paucity of public
knowledge as to what restrictions
are Supposed to be enforced. The
authorities seem to have been neg
ligent in this respect. There is a
city law on the subject, but the pub
lie does not seem to be aware of it.;
its general non-observance indicates
that the law is dead letter and
needs stricter enforcement or
amendment.
1t may be observed that after an
automobile accident in the commu-
nifty, there is widespread and earn
est Observance of precautionary
measures in motor driving but that
as the time draws on and the acct
dent is forgotten the precautions are
gradually overlooked, carelessnSss
and even rocklcssness onsue until
another terrible accident occurs
Just of course when it is least ex-
pected and lives are snuffed out in
a stwinkling. There should be more
decisive, drastic if necessary, means
of preventing this carelessness at
all times, whether some one has
been recently killed in an automo-
bile accident or not. AS it is, the
matter has been too long neglected
in this community.
