An u result ot the sovcrnor's Veto of tho
appropriation!) for the supremo court com
mission and court unci library otllclulH and
employes, Cleik I.ro llrrilttian thU morn
ing closed tho (state library and olllco of
court reporter. Un tho entrance to the li
brary wuh posted tho sign, "Closed for
Want of Funds and Lack of Approprla
lions."
Hcrdman nald: "Yes, I havo closed tho li
brary nnd ofllco of court reporter, and you
may fay furthermore that they will remain
closed."
Lawyers and othcro who have mado lists
of tho library aro expressing tholr Indigna
tion In unbounded terms nt what they con
tend Is an entirely unwarranted action on
tho part of the court clerk. The constitu
tion of the Htato provides that tho clerk ot
tho court shall bo state librarian and It Is
openly charged that by his action In closing
tho library Hcnlman has violated a strict
mandate of the constitution. Tho matter
will doubtless bo brought to tho attention
of tho court when It meets tomorrow morn
ing. It was reported In Omaha today that Gov
ernor Dietrich had modified his veto of the
supremo com t appropriation commission
bill. When called up by telephone tho gov
ernor stated that ho had not yet filed the
eto with tho secretary of state and had
not yet decided to modify tho document,
nnd that If any change was made It would
bo slight.

HKAIN FOOD
Is of Little llrnetlt I n less It In Dl
Kefttril. Nearly every ono will admit that ns a na
tion wo eat too much meat and too little ot
vegetables and the grains.
For business men, oftlce men and clerks,
and In fact everyono engaged In sedentary
or Indoor occupations, grains, milk and veg
etables aro much morn healthful.
Only men engaged In a severe outdoor
manuel labor can live on a heavy meat
diet and continue in health.
As a general rule, meat once a day Is
suUclent for all classes of men, women and
children, rind grains, fruit and vegetables
should roustltuto tho bulk of food eaten.
But many ot tho most nutrlclous foods
ro dllllcult of digestion and It Is no use
to ndvlso brain workora to eat largely of
grains and vegetables where tho digestion
Is too weak to asslmllato them properly.
It is always best to get tho best results
from nur food that some slmplo and harm
less digestive should bo taken after meals
to assist the relaxed dlgestlvo organs, and
sovernl years oxpcrlenco havo proven Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets to bo a very sufe,
pleasant and effective digestive and a rem
cdy which may bo taken dally with tho best
results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablots can hardly be
called a patent medicine, ns they do not
set on tho bowels nor any particular organ
cut only on the food caton. They supply

People who make a dally practice of tak

There la no dauger of forming nn Injuri

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. April 2. (Special.)
The annual meeting of ono of the oldest
tango live stock associations In tho west,
the Wyoming Cattle drawers' association,
held hero yesterday nfternoon, adjourned
Inst night, having performed tho same work
that required live to seven dnys during
tho earlier years of the organization. It
was the twenty-sixth annual meeting, nnd
was attended by less than fifty members.
In the early '80s, during tho palmy days
of the range stock business, tho meetings
wero attended by from 200 to 250 mem
bers, nnd many of these came from New
York, Roston, Chicago and not a few from
England and Scotland. Almost nil wero
wealthy men who ran their herds on the
great plains ot Wyoming nnd never visited
tho state except on the occasion of the
association meeting; trusted managers
looked after their Interests during tho
balance of the year. Thfso cattle barons
travulcd In stylo and their coming always
meant great things for Cheyenne nnd In
creased tralllc for tho railroads. Many
of the members had their own private cars
acd not a few came by special train, ac
companied by their families and large num
bers of friends, who wanted to visit a wild
and wooly section. Hotels nnd business
houses always did a thriving business.
Cheyenne was In tgala attlro on the oc
casion of tho nniiunl meeting of the barons.
Ml of this has been changed during the
last few years and while tho wealthy men
In the east that still retain an Interest
In the stock business hero, nlsn retain tholr
membership In tho organization, they so
dorn attend Its meetings. In years gone
by thero was sharp rivalry among tho
numerous candidates for ofllclal positions
in the association, but this, too, has been
changed. Now the cattlemen get together,
take In now members, enjoy n social chat
and adjourn. They have got tho associa
tion oh a good working basis, good men
nro nt Its head and the man that stays at
homo well knows that his Interests nre
being looked nftcr.
For Protection A Kit I list IttiHtlcrn,
The Wyoming Stock Growers' associa
tion, ns originally formed, was for tho pur
poso of protection agnlnst cattlo rustlers,
who Infested the plains lu large numbers
and who, nt ono time, threatened to drle
the large owners out of business. Tho
organization employed' stock detectives and
waged such an uctlvo war on tho thieves
that they were finally compelled to leave
tho country. One band, known ns the
Holc-ln-tho-Wall outlnws, remained longer
than any of tho others, but these outlaws
wero rounded up eventually and shared
tho same fate as those before them.
During Into years tho association has
been pnylng moro attention to looltlug after
cstrays, tho roundup and legislation thnt
will bo favorable to Its members. In nil
of these lines the organization has been
successful. In the first named work In
spectors havo been employed every year nnd
stationed at the leading market centers,
where they havo caught hundreds of cstrays
and returned them to tholr owners, thus
saving tho cattlemen of the state, whether
thoy wero mombcrs of the association or
not, hundreds ot thousands of dollars an
nually. Tho roundups aro placed In charge
of competent men 'nnd tho percentage ot
loss has' been reduced to tho minimum.
In legislative matters tho members of the
association havo pulled together to accom
plish legislation beneficial to tho stock
men. In tilth they havo been successful
beyond their expectations. Tho association
is growing fast and Is now classed as ono
of the strongest organizations of Its kind
In tho country.
At yesterday's meeting President W. C.
Irvine called the association to order and
nftcr tho reports of officers nnd Inspectors
were rend the following officers wero re
elected: President, W. C. Irvine; vice

SOUTH DAKOTA IMMIGRATION
ThoiiKniiiln of Settlers I'ourliiMr Into
I'nrmliiK IIckIoiin on Si'eclnl
Trnlim.
SKUX FALLS, S. D April 2,-(Spcclal.)
South Dakotn Is this spring receiving
thousands of new settlers. While the In
flux naturally does not compare with tho
great rush cnrly In tho '80s, Its volumo
Is greater than for a number of years nnd
tho newcomers aro moro. substantial and
better prepared to make a success of farm
ing than were tho thousands who rushed
to what Is now tho state of South Dakota
during tho years following thu great crop
season of 1881.
Thousands of those who came to Dakota
at that tlmo know absolutely nothing of
farming. Tiny expected to win fortunes
from the soil with little or no effort, and
were doomed lo disappointment. Tho now
settlers now coming In n steady stream
and settling upon the rich farming lands
of the statu aro experienced farmers, who
will not fall to make a success of farming
lu this scatc.
They come .from tho best agricultural
states of the cast, and are provided with
the means and experience necessary. Per
haps tho larger proportion of tho new
settlers aro persons who rented farms-'lu
the stato from which tjicy come. Investi
gation convinced them that they could ma
terially lmprovo their condition by pur
chasing deeded lands In South Dakota, ICO
acres of which can bo purchased outright
In many parts ot the stato at but little
moro than they were paying each year
tor rent of tracts containing no greater
area.
Plenty of llomcfttenil Entrlea.
Others are making homestead entries on
the government lnnds yet to bo had In tho
northern nnd central portions of the state.
Still others owned farms In eastern states
and decided to sell them at the high prices
prevailing thero and Invest in South Da
kota. So great Is tho present Influx to
some parts of tho state that special freight
trains nro necessary. One party from In
diana which located in the western part of
Ucadlc county consisted .of six families,
making thirty-two persona.
A novel fcaturo of tho arrival at their
destination wns a greeting nccorded them
nt Wcsslngtnn, where they detrained, Hun
dreds of the townspeople, with a brass band
at their head, marched to the depot nnd
serenaded tho party whllo the members
were alighting.
The experience of Alfred Hill, a former
resident of loVn, who a year ago pur
chased a three-quarter .section of land In
Davison county, shows what can bo done
with the comparatively cheap farming lands
of South Dakota. He paid 41,200 for one
quarter section, $1,300 for another and
$2,300 for the third. He raised ono crop
from the land, and mado some Improve
ments on tho farm which cost him the
most. The other day he sold all three
quarters for- the sum of $7,200, clearing
$2,400 on tho Investment of a llttlo over
u year,
Tho Influx of new settlers marks an era
In the industrial development of South
Dakota, which ranks first in the union of
states In tho annual production per capita.
Tho state has made a woqdcrful advance
ment tho lost few years.- The secret of
somo of tho reasons for tho statn's re
markable progress Is told by O. M. Osbon
of Howard, one of the hrccst observers
In South Dakota.
'a
Dntry Hencueii t)ir.t Iarmcr.
"When I camo to South iDakota eleven
years ago," said he, "this -section of tho
stnto wns nn exclusive wheat country.
Fnrmcrs kept ono or two cows, often not
making enough butter for tho fnmlly tnble.
Ono would rarely see a herd of cattlo or a
flook of sheep In a day's drive. Wheat
fields, acres and miles of them, stretched
away on every hand. The Invariable re
sult of planting tho snmo crop on the
Fame land year after year was aggravated
by a series of dry seasons and by declining
prices. With his Incomo cut off or re
duced tho farmer was driven to mortgago
his land. Many of them lost their homes.
Others struggled along under loads of debt
that worn almost hopeless. Tho mortgago
shark and tho machine fiend mado life a
burden to them.
"Then tho cow came and rescued the
farmer. A fow at first turned tholr atten
tion to homo dairying. They prospered
nnd others followed their example. Herds
began to dot the landscape, llvlug sleek
nnd fat on tho rich grasses which had
hitherto gono up In smoko from the prairie
fires which at Intervals swept over the
plain. Creameries were built and the
herds multiplied. From urnall beginnings
tho dairy quickly bcrarao ono of the
leading Industries of the state. Mark thn
result: Lands which wero sold under
mortgago foreclosure a fow years back for
from $4 to $5per acre, with tho Judgment
creditor usually tho only bidder, aro
eagerly Fought after at $15 to $25 per acre,
contented farmers reaching out nftcr nd
Joining quarters."

THIRTEEN DOCTORS FAILED.
Mrs. M. A, Close, of Nebraska, Was Cured of In

Dr: S. H. Hartman , Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Doctor "I desire to express to you my sincere thanks for
thu interest you have shown to my case, uiul for the timely aid and
advice which has effected a cure of as bud a case of consumption as
could be we'll Imagined,
"I'.n iitm 11 nd Maualiu have done what thirteen of
the best physicinns in the country have failed to do.
Tor more than three years I doctored for consumption,
nnd spent thirteen weeks in a Pulmonary Sanitarium
at Milwaukee. Wis.; but finding myself growing worse,
as a last resort, I came West where I was bedfast for
many weeks, and the physicians which my husband
called nave no hope but said, She cannot possiblv live

more than a few days." Hut thanks to Perunn, I fooled them all. In
an incredibly short time after I hugnn to take Perunn the hemorrhages
stopped. I began to mend slowly at first, but the improvmcnt beenme
more marked, and now I can truthfully say that there is not the slight
est trace of my old conplaint.
"I would have written you a long time ago, but have purposely
.it-.i t.. cue if the effect was lasting; and in conclusion I would sny,
tiod bless you and keep you with us
of mercy for many years to come."

Tho tendency of cntnrrh of the head Is
to nasB downward through tho bronchial
tubes to the limes. Any ono who has hud
catarrh of tlio head for a year or more
tlmls the dlsacso gradually proKresstriR
doownwnrd. In some cases thp progress Is
rapid, nnd In other cafes It Is slaw; but
sooner or later If catarrh Is allowed to run,
It will go 10 tho lungs and set up tho clls-
caso known ns consumption. It Is doubt
ful If consumption Is ever caused by any
thing except eatnrrh.
The cntnrrh usually begins ns a cold In
tho head or thtont, nnd Is neglected until
It becomes chronic; then It begins to dawn
on tho victim that hp hns eatnrrh. Unless
ho Is very foolish Indeed ho will not rest
easy until the eatnrrh is entirely cured.
