JUDGE TRIPP IS CANDIDATE
Announces Hint He Will Try for
United Stntes Scnntor to Suc
ceed Klttrcdfte.
YANKTON, S. D., Aug. 21.-(Speclal.)
ino judgeship contest In the First circuit
seems to bo growing Into a hard fight. For
some time there has been suspicions that
the Interest of Hon. Drrtlctt Tripp In the
jungosmp was more, Intense than tho can
didacy of his relative, C. H. Dillon, would
warrant and rumors of "wings" to the re
publican party In every county of the cir
cuit, with newspaper "organs" to be pur
chased and established by Tripp, added to
inn intensity of the situation.
All this has now been mado clear by
nn Interview given tho Press nnd Dakotnn
by A. B. Wilcox, leader of the Dillon forces
In Bon Homme county. In this Interview
he announced the candidacy of part of a
county ticket In this county for next year
and the candidacy of Judge Bnrtlott Tripp
tor the United States senate. He said on
this subject: "Yes, Tripp Is a candidate
for the United States senate to succeed
Klttredgc when he has filled out the un
expired term of Kyle nnd he Is also a can
dldato for Senator Gamble's placo nt tho
end of that gentleman's term, provided he
does not get the Klttrcdge. place." Thero
Is some doubt as to whether It was tho
desire of Tripp and Dillon to use these
announcements at this time, but Wilcox
has spoken and much has been made clearer
to the masses by that speech.

The weather for the week ending yester
day was nearly normal In temperature
throughout the state. In a few of tho
agricultural sections light frosts occurred,
but no damage to crops is reported. Show
ers have occurred over most sections and
on the ICth heavy showers were general.
The late rains havo put the soil in good
condition. Haying Is now practically com
pleted, but little still remaining to be cut.
Over most ot the stnte tho crop has been
good, but In a few sections the crop has
fallen below the nvcrage. Hay is of good
quality. The second crop of alfalfa has
been cut over the earlier portions and har
vesting Is now In progress In other sec
tions. Over tho western portion of Big
Horn county frosts delayed the maturing
of the first crop, so the second crop will be
unusually Into and may possibly not ma
ture, before early fall frosts. In most sec
tions the second crop Is a good yield. Grain
is maturing rapidly in the later portions
of the state nnd in most of the earlier
sections has been secured already. Unless
frosts como unusually early this fall grain
will mature In all sections. Late rains
have been very beneficial to gardens and
potatoes, which have mado rapid advance
ment In tho last three weeks. Ranges aro

"I contracted a terlous cold last sum
mer which persisted In staying with ma
and nothing would drlvo It away until I
took Pcrunn. In four days I felt much
better, nnd nt tho end of n week nil un
pleasant rymptoms had disappeared and I
was well again. I am not In the habit ot
giving testimonials, but I make nn excep
tion In your case with much pleasure."
LOUIS F. CARDANL
To catch b severe cold In the summer
Is often a much more grave, affair than
to catch cold In the winter. Tho depressing
heat of summer Is quite npt to cause tho
cold to settle In somo Internal organ. Sum
mer colds hnvo led to moro cases bf kid
ney disease, bladder disease, liver trouble
than winter colds.
Tho experience of Hon. Cnrdanl, Alder
man of Now York City, Is on lllustrntlon ot
these statements, Ho had n Rummer cold
which persisted. Nothing would drlvo It
away. In four days Pcruna began tho euro
and In h week ho was well ngnln.
What other medicine could havo dona
this? Surely Peruna deserves tho prnlsa
thnt so many million people nro giving It,
It Is n medicine thnt ought to bo used ic
every family.
If you do not dcrlvo prompt nnd sntlsfnc
tory results from tho uso of Peruna wrltt
nt onco to Dr. Hnrtmun, giving a, full state
ment of your ense nnd ho will be pleased
