MUM awarded was paid, and we had
$1,000 left over. That is the way to
run fair, either pay the premiums
awarded or quit holding one. We had
a good fair all around, had the largest
and best exhibits we ever had, and it is
surely too bad that it ended up the way
it did. If the judges have to be cor.

Main street of thij city is com

the scenic railway or a tour of
the Rockies in a Ford. In fact,
the stree,s are so much imprOV-

sight of upto date store, fronts
and the throng Of shoppers, one
could hardly realize that he was
riding on the same street.
While a large number OF the
citizens of the city are a tide
dubious as to what the result to
the fill will be after the rains
in the spring, Contractor Helt-

that the rains will not in the
least affect the. grade and that
from now on the streets will be
in first class shape.

The first real problem in real

i. c. Perisho, of the State Coll

TO FIGHT TYPHOID

To distribute typhoid vaccine
to the people of South Dakota
through their physicians, without
charge, is a plan of the State
Health laboratory at the Univer-
sity of South Dakota. DR.. Mort
inner Herzberg, director of the
laboratory, announced the plan
upon his return from a recent
trip to New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago and other eastern cities.
where he inspected the work
done by health departments.
The army medical department
is making typhoid vaccine for
use by the army and navy. DR..
Herzberg studied the methods
used by the government labora-
tories, because the government
laboratories have made notable
advances in the manufacture of
the vaccine. The army records
for 1912 indicate that an indi-
vidual who has not been vaccin-
ated to prevent typhoid runs
elghty-three times as much risk
of contracting typhoid as an in
dlvldual who has been vaccin-
atcd against it.
Typhoid vaccine was first used
during the Bocr war, but with
only moderate success. In the
last few years the methods OF

OLD TINE RANCHER
KILLED NEAR MOREAU

Harvey Ash, who was one of
the earliest settlers - the south
part of the county, was killed on
Saturday, December 9th. in fall
from a horse according to the
mcagre reports that have been
received in this city.
It appears that Mr.. Ash had
gone out or Saturday for a ride
over the range and that when he
did not return in the evening,
Mrs. Ash became a armed and
went to the home of Ben Ash to
secure assistance in searching
for him. After an all night
search the man was found in an
unconscious condition about four
miles from his home. He had
apparetly been thrown from his
horse ad rendered unconscious,
and the exposure to the cold had
reduced his vitality to such an
extent that, although with inn
mediate treatment, his injuries
would not have proven fatal. the
unfortunate man died within q
few hours after the discovery.
/ The deceased has many friends
in this city who will be deeply
grieved to hear of his sudden
death. =
