SHOWERS FALL
IN KlMBALL SECTION

Kimball, s. D.-This locality yes
terday afternoon was visited by good
copious showers here as we'll as sur
rounding this territory. Crops had
not been suffering much as yea al
though hard steady winds had been
blowing most of this week, they were
not hot winds. If nothing unforeseen
transpires, Brule county will have
the biggest corn and small grain crop
raised here for years. 1t has been dis
covered that this is now a corn coun-
try and not SO much for small grain
any more and for this reason more
land has been put to corn than at any
other time in Erule %county's history.
Farmers heer are making their mon
ey and getting rich in corn, cattle,
hogs, sheep and horses.

has been indefatigable in labors-
both in raising the money and in lab
oring on the church.

CRAZY MAN AT
THE MILWAUKEE,
BEATS OFFICER TREMAINE IN
THE NOSE AND REQUIRES
CONSIDERABLE EFFORT TO
LAND HIM IN JAIL.

Officer Tremaine, the Milwaukee
policeman, captured a crazy man at
the Milwaukee depot this morniag
and with considerable difficulty got
him to the city hall and lodged in
jail. While having his first tuzzle
with him the fellow struck tho Off
Ger a blow in the face which Gu,
his lip and started his nose to bleed.
Tremafne refused to strike back and
with the help of a by-stander started
to take the fellow to Jail. He re-
fused to go and part of the time it
was necessary for four men to carry
him as he refused to walk and fought
hard every inch of the way. When
he was in front of the Broaden.
store, the officers called an auto to
their assistance and the prisoner was
landed in Jail
He is an old mar with gray
whiskers. He fought like a demon
when arrested and even after beng
put in a cell his cries still could be
heard. He was unusually profane
and was causing such annoyance
to everyone in the depot that his re-
moval was necessary. When search
ed he had but little on him and no
weapons of any kind. He had no
liquor in his possession and none
could be smelleu on him. 1t is
probable that the heat of the past
few days has gone to his head and
temporary insanity resulted.
The prisoner refused to divulge
his name and in fact about the only
thing he could was an abundance OF
words with which to curse Mitchell
and everybody in it. He went to sleep
shortly afternoon and slept soundly
for several hours.

What is Woman s
Beauty ba2f Health?
And fle Basis Of Her Health and
Vigor Lies in f1e Careful Reg
uI0tion of the ROgoeLS.

II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be q
picture OF loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. It lies in health. In
the majority of cases the basis of
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due 10 constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintiiy
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
it is important that the condition
should be corrected.
An ideal remedy foT women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements, is Dr.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly, among them Mrs. G. S.
Vance, of ell S. Ray ST., New Castle,
Pa. At times she had spells of indi-
gestion so severe that she thought she
would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her
stomach and bowels, and she attrib-
utes her excellent health today to this
remedy.
All the family can use DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of moth
ers give it to babies and children. It
is also admirably suited to the require
ments of elderly people, in fact to all
who by reason of age or infrmity can
not stand harsh salts, cathartics pills
or purgatives. These should always be

LABOR FEDERATION
TO TRUST WILSON
A. r. OF L. CONVENTION REFUSES
TO CONDEMN ARMED
INTERVENTION.
STEP MIGHT BE UNSUITABLE
Leaders Argue That at Times War
May Be Necessary and There 10
No Desire On Their Part
Hamper President.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 24.-The Amer
adopt a resolution condemning armed
Intervention in Mexico, on the ground
that such Intervention might be justi-
fable and desirable. The convention
unanimously adopted the following
resolution:
Resolution Adopted.
''The American Federation of Labor
condemns attempts being made by
American and foreign corporations
and certain lingo newspapers to force
armed Intervention by the United
States government In Mexico and
urges upon the president of the United
States the continuance of a policy
looking to a peaceful adjustment Of
the conflict among the Mexican peo-
pie, and that the president and secre-
tary Of the American Federation of
Labor be instructed to transmit the
position of the federation upon that
matter to the president of the United
States"
John Mitchell begged the conven-
ton not to hamper President Wilson.
While he was a peace advocate, he
believed there were conditions that
sometimes justified war within a ma
ton and between nations.
Subject Much Discussed.
President Gompers said the subject
had taken much time of the executive
council, which had listened to repre-
sensations Of both Mexican factions
and had received much correspondence
on the subject.
president Wilson has approached
this subject in a statesmanlike way"
Mr.. Gompers said. I'VE ought to
strengthen his hands in trying to find
but I think we ought not to enable
Huerta to say organized labor will
not permit intervention and that he
may go on with his bloody record"
All the other speakers denounced
Huerta and praised Madero. Some
said intervention by the United States
would never be necessary; that the
insurgents would win if given q
chance. All the speakers thought the
trouble in Mexico could not be settled
until the land problem was solved.
Convention Favors Peace.
The question was brought up after
the convention had adopted a strong
declaration in favor of international
peace, in part as follows:
''It is not lack of love of country
which prompts the toilers to protest
against international fratricide, but
they are unwilling to be exploited or
killed for the promotion of private or
selfish ends.
1.-THE constantly growing system Of
the international acceptance and rec
ognition of trade union cards is an
other influence that is quietly and
surely creating fraternal spirit
among workers of all lands.
Labor organizations the world over
have committed themselves to the
policy of international peace-peace
with justice and honor in international
politics, as well as industry"
