Letter From South Dakota.

Burk, S. Dak., Dec. 17, 1908. To the Editor and all my old Friends in Jasper County: Well, I thought I would write you a few lines and let you know I am still alive. Tripp county has opened for settlement and the registration is over. Not one of us Hoosiers drew anything | but we expect to get land yet. There : was quite a throng of people out ! here at that time; I think something I like 200 automobiles running the people over the country and unsteeled prairie. I told you in my last letter that I thought the railroad company would get more than Tripp County was worth. I see by the papers that they have already received $2,300,000. I don’t think that over one-third of those who drew anthing will file. There is too much expense connected with it, especially for those who live some distance or who are not already in the farming business. A great many will pay from $25 to SSO to be located, then they will have to make the first government payment of $206 when they file. Now they have the claim to 160 acres of land, it may be good land and it may be ppor land. They will have a house and stable to build, a well to dig, and must make their home on the | land; and also have their annual payments to make to the government. |So it will cost a great deal more than some people figure on. I am very much satisfied with this part of the country and have done real well this year, but I was fooled in my corn crop. Comparing it with the corn back there, I thought, while it was still growing, it would make about 40 bushels to the acre; when I began husking it I thought it would make between 30 and 35 bushels; when I hauled it over the scales it weighed out about 28 bushles to the acre. So you see how I was fooled. Corn has been selling at 45c taking 70 pounds. Oats are selling at 40c and 41c, although they were as high as 45c. Upon the whole though we have had very fair crops this year. H. H. Hayes’ children are attending school. E. W. Gwin had some bad luck two or three weeks ago, losing one of his best mares with spasmodic colic. We were over helping them to butcher their hogs about a week ago. They are getting along very nicely, and are coming to help us butcher tomorrow. Our towns here seem to be thriving and lots of new building going up. Burke is getting new water works put in now and will soon be completed. Land is selling from $4,500 to SIO,OOO per quarter, and lots of it changing hands, bringing lots of money into this new country. The weather has been very nice here this fall. Have had about 2 inches of snow laying on the ground the past two weeks. Have had very little wind. We had 4 below zero weather one or two nights; but, upon the whole, I think it has been an excellent fall. , There is a great deal of winter wheat in, but it was quite late in being sown. I am reconciled to everything he e but the priqe of coal —it is from $7 to $9 per ton. But we got plenty of work during threshing season at 30c per hour and made enough in one week to buy our winter’s supply. We have nothing to do from now to the middle of March, with plenty to eat and burn. Boys you know I like a day or two’s rest, but when it comes to two or three months it makes me tired. With love to all my old friends, I am, yours respectfully, JNO. STEWART. P. S. Enclosed please find one dollar fifty cents ($1.50) for which I wish the Republican sent to my address the following year. J. S.

Bank Deposits Increasing.

A tabulation of the results of the last call for state banks issued Nov. 28th and compiled yesterday indicates a healthy condition of all this class of banks. It seems to point to the return of many stockings to their normal uses. The call was issued by L. A. Wiles, head of the bank department of the auditor of state’s office. Mr. Wiles regards the condition of the banks as shown by the reports very reassuring. He states that in spite, of the panic, the recent campaign and its involved uncertainty the deposits, reserves and loans have increased. The average reserve of 31.8 per cent has been increased 1.2 per cent over the reserve shown at the bank call of one year ago, Dec. 3, 1907. The exact figures of the increase in capital, surplus and undivided profits is shown to be $866,040.87. Thte total resources of the state banks are shown to be $66,177,730.99. The favorable showing is more remarkable befcause of the fact that the state banks are usually the last to feel the effect of better financial conditions. In the matter of resourcse as compared with other calls this year and last, including the call of Dec. 3, 1907, the call of Nov. 27 shows stronger by $1,000,000 than' the best previous call. Dec. 3, 1907, the resources reported were $60,882,646.22. On Sept, 23, 1908, the total resources were $65,250,821.59, On Sept. 30, 1908, the total shown was $64,900,154.21. The actual increase in loans *Was $2,190,812.34. The increase in cash on hand, $2,185,084.92; and the increase deposits was $4,203 747.20.—Indianapolis Starr

GOOD COUGH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN. The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried It are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W. Va„ says: “I have never used anything other than Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy for my children and it has always given good satisfaction.” This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult. For Sale by B. F. Fendlg. c An Irishman who complained of high prices in the United States, says ex-Governor Ladd of Rhode Island, was asked: “Why do you stay here? Why not go back to Ireland, where everything is cheaper?” His reply was: “Oh, at home I could not earn money to buy cheaper goods.” Similarly an Englishman commented unfavorably on the higher cost here of the better grades of wearing apparel. “Why,” said he, “at home I could buy a dress . suit for half the money.” “But was the suit as good as that which you pay double for in this country?” “I don’t know whether it was or not,” was the frank reply, “I never had money enough over there to buy a dress suit” Those who abuse Protection because of high prices might learn something from these two incidents.—Monticello Herald.

FOR THAT DULL FEELING AFTER EATING. I have used Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets for some time, and can testify that they have done me more good than any tablets 1 have ever used. My trouble was a heavy dull feeling after eating.— David Freeman, Kempt, Nova Scotia. These tablets strengthen the stomach and Improve the digestion. They also regulate the liver and bowels. They ace far superior to pills but cost no more Get a free sample at B. F. Fendlg's drug store and see what a splendid medicine It is o Permanently Located in Rensselaer for More Than Four Years. It has been my constant endeavor for more than four years to establish and maintain a reputation for carefully and accurately correcting refractive errors by using tbe oorrect lenses to correct the trouble found, giving perfect vision, relieving tired eyes, headaches and nervous trouble, which is a benefit to one’s general health. Inquire among those that have bad attention of this kind and see who receives the credit for the benefit they have received. After satisfying yourself of this fact, you can find the office to have such trouble taken care of, over A. F. Long's Drug Store on telephone 332. l>r. A. G. Catt. Optometrist, graduate of Optical College, also registered on State Board Examination.
