the greatest annoyances in a house
is a damp cellar. You can avoid 1t by
a little personal attention when the
house is being built, but 1t Is hard to
correct the difficulty afterwards.
Another advantage in a house like
this is the ease with which 1t may be
heated by placing a small furnace In
the cellar. The furnace should be put

Freak Tornado Does Damaue,

Tabor.-This place was the seen or
a decided weather freak in the form
Of a miniature tornado which swept
Over the town at a time when but a
light breeze was blowing. A rain
storm was prevailing at the time.
After blowing over a number OF small
buildings in town, the tornado switch
ed its course and struck the baseball
grandstand in the outskirts of town.
The storm tore the grandstand to
pieces and scattered the material for
a distance of $50 or 200 feet. A small
shed nearby also was demolished and
pieces of it were found 200 feet away.
AS but little wind was blowing outside
Of the pathway Of the tornado, few
citizens realized the dangerous condi
ton at the time.

County Seat FIGHT in Hamiin,

Pierre.-The old fight for county
seat honors in Hamlin county is now
revived, Castlewood having and wish
Ing to keep the location, and Hayti be-
ing a candidate for it. Hamlin coun-
ty authorities have written the attor-
ney general for a ruling upon consoli-
dalton Of counties, which must be eff
feCted by a majority of each of the
counties involved in the ~consolida-
ton. The attorney general has ruled
that such an act is entirely within the
provisions of the state constitution.
At one time Hamlin and C~odington
counties were consolidated under the
name Of Adair county. Later they
were given the present names, all
these transactions being on paper, for
there were no settlers living there to
consult about the matter. The 1898
act was drafted especially to regulate
their consolidation again into one
county. From present indications it
seems the long drawn controversy on
a change of county seat location is TO
continue.

A Fine Treatment
For Catarrh
EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS LITTLE

EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS LITTLE
If you suffer from Catarrh, head
noises, sore throat, asthma, or Catarr-
hal deafness, here is a fine recipe that
often gives relief after other treat
rnents have failed.
Its effect in the worst cases is usually
most striking and positive. The correct
method of treating Catarrh we believe
is to employ remedy that will quickly
drive the catarrhal poisons from the
system and at the same time by tonic
action increase the vitality, which is
always lowered by this insidious dis
ease. To do this. we believe the fol-
lowing formula to be really the best
prescription as ii acts quickly, costs
little and can be easily prepared at
home.
