Calling attention to the many difll- cultles which will confront the com mittee of the division growing out of the bad practices against the Indians , the olllclals state that they believe ( that the earnest co-operation of the i local and state authorities will result ! in improving conditions. The working | out of the problem In Nebraska will very likely form a basis for the solu- tion of similar problems In other states. Greflory County Corn Is Best. Boncsteel , S. D. , Sept. 27.

The matter of household goods does not make any great show ing , with only a little over a million dollars In the whole state , while the pianos come up to very near the mil lion dollar mark , but , with the organs added , the musical instruments in the state just about equal the household furniture in valuation. The banks are assessed at $3,369,617 , while there Is but about four thousand dollars of the capital stock of Insurance companies held In the state , If the llgures of the assessor are to be considered as cor rect.

All ( lay long , year In and year out , the round trips continue from the heart to the uxtromltlvti and back ajinln. The red blood corpuscles travel like boats In a stream , going' to this or that station for such servlcu an they have to perform , and the white cor puscles , the phagocytes , dart hither and thither like patrol boats , ready to arrest any contraband cargo of disease germs. The mileage of the blood cir culation reveals HO me astounding facts in our personal history. Thus It ha.s boon calculated that , assuming the heart to boat sixty-nine times n min ute at ordinary heart pressure , the blood ROCS at the rale of 'Ml yards In the minute , or seven nlilos per hour , UiS miles per day and ( i.IJ'JO miles per year. If a man of eighty-four years of ngc could have one single blood corpuscle floating In his blood all his life it would linvo traveled In that same time 5.150.SOS miles. Uxclmnge. One Comfort.
