PIERRE FOR STATE CAPITAL
oath Dakota Maa Btaada for Ills
Home Town Aaralnst
Mitchell.
OMAHA, Feb. lO.-To the Editor of The
Bee: I have Just read In your valued
paper of the 9th Inst, a special from Wol
sey, 3. t)., favoring the removal of the
state capital of South Dakota from Pierre
to Mitchell. The article In question is
copied verbatim from Mitchell's campaign
document and contains ths only argument
Mitchell has been able to produce In its
own favor, these so-called arguments con
sisting of unsupported assertions that the
greater part of 8outh Dakota Is a wilder
ness Incapable of ever sustaining a decent
population.
As a resident 1n the maligned part of
South Dakota for twenty-two years and a
loyal believer In the future of our whole
state, I would say to your readers that
Pierre Is now the geographical center of
South Dakota and that the center of popu
tatlon Is traveling very speedily In that
d! recti en.
During the decade from 1890 to 1900 1m
migration was at a standstill over the
whole United States; It was a period of
distress and hard times. Neither was much
progress made In South Dakota. The tide
of Immigration reached eastern South Da
kota about 1RW. and reached the Missouri
river In 1901; since 1901 more than 9,000 peo
ple have entered homesteads at the Pierre,
Chamberlain and Rapid City land offices,
the number of entries doubling each year.
AH this winter homesteaders are flocking
Into Pierre and Chamberlain in parties of
from five to fifty people. These people are
mostly from Nebraska and are practical
farmers, better able to Judge of the worth
of a country than the ordinary space writer.
Thy are going to western South Dakota
because they know It Is better than the
western part of their own state, though
western Nebraska Is capable of sustain
ing five times tho population it now has,
and will surprise the world by Its advance
ment during the next decade. The year
1304 will see 10.000 homesteaders file west
of the Missouri river In South Dakota,
where there is plenty of land to sustain
a population of 500,000 people In a pros
perous manner. There are 47.000 home-
teads In the Rapid City land district still
untaken, the land Is excellent In quality
and climatic conditions are fully as favor
able for agricultural purposes as In east
ern South Dakota. Grain and vegetable
crops yield Immense returns; fruits are

LAW AS TO INDISCRIMINATE DUMPING BAD
Barllnaton Kmplores Released Ots-laaj
to a Defect In Title of the Orril
Banco lader Which They
vero Arrested.
Police Judge King has declared the or
dinance relating to the hauling and dump
ing of garbage unconstitutional. Tester
day afternoon a case came before Judge
King wherein a number of employes of
the Burlington road were arraigned for
dumping tho contents of stock oars within
the city limits. After hearing the evld
dence and the testimony Judge King dis
missed the defendants. At the same time
he declared that the ordinance was worth
less. The case was brought by Charles Cum
mlngs, who surmised that the Burlington
road had no right to unload the refuse
from stock cars on Its property east of the
L street crossing. For months past the
railroad company has been filling In this
hollow and covering the refuse from stock
cars with dirt and sand.
Judge King holds that the ordinance,
which is numbered 928 In the book. Is de
fective In title and the council will now be
called upon to pass an ordinance that will
hold good In court. The ordinance In
Question was passed when A. R. Kelly was
mayor and was signed on June 15, 1900.
When the decision of Judge King was re
ported about town the members of ths
council set their heads together and It Is
expected that an ordinance that will hold
will soon be passed. All of the Burlington
employes who were arrested on ths charge
were released and the filling of the hollow
will doubtless continue.
Permanent Sidewalks.
On Monday night the city council will
receive bids for the laying of permanent
sidewalks. The 'council will have walks
laid as ordered during the year 1903 and
the contractor will be expected to lay all
walks ordered by the mayor and council
during the present year. In case property
owners do not comply with the city ordln
ances In this respect the contractor will
go ahead and lay walks and the cost will
be taxed against the abutting property. All
of the members of the council favor the
laying of more permanent walks and this
work will be pushed this year. City En
gineer Beal Is prepared to give bidders
all of the Information necessary In re
latlon to this work.

FOR THE BUDS OF THE SEASON
Mrs. Frank Haller Gives a Reception
that Proves a Decided Social
Success.
Of all the social functions of the winter
few have compared In point of brilliancy
with the reception given yesterday after
noon In honor of the season's debutantes
by Mrs. Frank L. Haller at the home of her
father. Mr. George W. Ltnlngnr. Between
3 and 6 o'clock the house and gallery were
thrown open to about 300 guests. Except
ing a trailing of asparagus fern above the
doorways and windows and a few clusters
of lilies and carnations, ths spacious rooms
were without decoration aside from the art
treasures, many of the more reoent addi
tions being shown for the first time to so
ciety. The hostess, with her charming
young assistants, Miss Jane Orcutt, Miss
Msxle Coffman, Miss Hortense Clarke and
Miss Elizabeth McConnell, received to
gether in the drawing room, standing be
fore the north windows, and beneath a
drapery of rare silks caught up with an
occasional red carnation. From ths parlor
beyond a number of assisting women con
ducted the guests through to the gallery,
to which the house and conservatory had
loaned couches and rugs and palms, and
at the far end of which the guests were
served refreshment. Rising from a cluster
of palms a marble statue formed a center
for the table that was arranged In ths
shape of a Maltese cross and trimmed with
American Beauty roses and red tulle caught
In long bows at each corner. Presiding
here were Mrs. Thomas Kllpatrlck, Mrs.

The state capltol 'building was built by
Pierre and presented to the state. . It is
fitted with fireproof vaults throughout and
has served every need up to date, and will
continue to do so until a aale of ths land
set aside for capltol building purposes Is
effected. This land, by the way, lies in
that portion of the state which Mitchell
Is willing to consign to the "demnltton bow.
wows," and so also la 96 per cent of all
public lands set aside for the support of
state Institutions.
Three-fourths of all the state Institutions,
however, lie In the Immediate vicinity, of
Mitchell. Probably Mitchell's theory . Is
"that to him that hath more shall be given
and from him that hath not that which he
hath shall be taken away."
Every western country has had to flaht
the knocker and the pessimist and In tho
fight the knocker has always been defeated.
The present fight In South Dakota is being
fought on the same lines and when the
time comes to vote the common people of
South Dakota will show by an overwhelm-
lng majority that they have faith In their
whole state and have no use for any clique
of men who ars willing to slander and tear
down the reputation of the state at large
merely to build up their own petty Interest
or ths Interests of an ambitious town.

PUTS THE ROBBERS TO FLIGHT
Tiro Holdup Men Make a Mistake
When They Tackle A. A.
Jenakaa.
Two men trying to- pose as bold, bad
highwaymen received-i big Jolt last night
when they attempted' to hold, up the gro
eery store of A. A.Jcnskaa at Twenty
fourth and Grace streets. The two entered
the store about 9:45 o'clock and commanded
Jenskaa to throw up bis hands. .Instead
of complying . he began to parley with
them and asked permission to first shut
the door so as not to frighten away any
prospective customer. The men replied with
many oaths that this was no time for
levity; that they were bad men and that
sudden death and horrible crimes were
what they delighted In. Jenskaa waited
for the hot air to blow over, but as soon
as one of the men began to search his
pockets he let out like a windmill. The
man with the gun did not wait for further
developments, but dropped the gun and
skipped for the tall timber. His friend
followed suit and the two went the quarter
mile at a rate a Jack-rabbit would have
envied. Jenskaa shot at them twice, but
the gun snapped, and thinking that it
was not loaded he did not try again.
Later he found that there were bullets In
three of the chambers. The men separated,
one going toward Clark street and ths
other In the opposite direction. Jenskaa
followed the one to Clark street and finally
chased him Into a closet in the rear
of Eton's saloon on Twenty-fourth and
Clark street. The place was quickly sur
rounded by a small crowd, but In some
manner the man had disappeared. The
police were notified and the best sprinters
were put on the case, as in their opinion
the men are running still.
NORTHWESTERN CUTS AGAIN
aMBsaaassBai
Takes 81 ice Out of Gra n Rates from Ne
braska to Chicago.
GREAT WESTERN EXPECTED TO COME BACK
If Stlckaey Makes Another Cat Will
Leave Rates Three aad Two
Ceats Per Haadred
Poaads.
Another I cents per 100 was taken off
the through grain rates from Nebraska
points to the Mississippi river and Chicago
yesterday by tho Chicago ft Northwest
ern. The latest cut maxes tne rates irom
Lincoln to Chicago on wheat and corn 18
and 16 cents respectively. If the Great
Western makes another reduction to meet
the cut of the Northwestern, the propor
tional rates to the Mississippi river will
be 8 and 2 cents on wheat and corn. But
one more cut will be possible, as the next
reduction will reduce the rats to nothing.
The Northwestern gives as a reason for
reducing tho rates again that the Missouri
Pacific has announced a through rate to
gulf porta of 15 and 14 cents on wheat and
corn, this being a reduction of 3 cents from
the rates now in effeot. The new rates of
the Northwestern will bo eflectlvs Feb
ruary 18, as that is the earliest possible
date on which they can become operative.
According to the Northwestern's method of
calculation, the 2-cent reduction Is required
to even up the eastern rates with the Mis
souri Paclfio cut
Great Western the Caase.
While the Northwestern reductions have
all along been attributed to the cutting of
rates to gulf ports, officials of other lines
lay the cause at the door of the Great
Western In Its efforts to uphold the'Omaha
groin market. According to Chicago ad
vloes. It seems that the same stand Is
taken by railroad men in that city. It Is
stated that at the recent meeting of offi
cials to try and patch up a truce In the
rate war, Marvin Hughltt of the North
western made the statement before the
meeting that his road is "fighting for a
principle" In maintaining a lower rate on
through shipments than the sum of the
local rates from points of origin to Omaha,
and from Omaha to the east. When this
announcement was made, It Is said "that
apparently all hope of peace was at an
end." Mr. Hughltt also Is reported to
have said at the Chicago meeting, "We
propose to make a further reduction in
through rates on grain, because of the re
duction In the proportional rate of ths
Great Western east from Omaha."
Local freight officials of the Northwestern
deny that there is any truth In the report
that Mr. Hughltt made any such state
ment. It Is believed by them that the
statement was given out by officials of
other lines as having come from Mr.
Hughltt, when in reality It was manufac
tured from whole cloth.
Immediate action Is expected on the part
of the Great Western in the shape of an
other reduction, placing the Mississippi pro
portionals at 3 and 3 cents on wheat and
corn and the Chicago rates at 8 and
cents.

Who Would Be Bad.
Upon complaint that sidewalk boards and
chickens were disappearing with marked
regularity In the neighborhood of Twenty
ninth and Parker streets. Special Officer
Wooldridge was detailed Wednesday after
noon to investigate, as suspicion pointed to
a half dozen boys who were spending most
of their spare time In a cave In that lo

The underground rendezvous was found to
be fitted up with all the conveniences
known to the art of modern cave building.
The main apartment measured 8x10x8, with
several small extensions. To the right as

library of frontier life such as "Feornot
Fred's Fatal Five," "The Bllde for Life, or
the Banana Peel's Revenge," "The Bucket
of Blood, or the Meat Market Man's Mas

dreadful type.
In one extension of the cave the officer
found eight bed comforts, which he burned
in another part of the place a choice as

Orders have been given for tba destruc

y Fibroid Tumors Cured. Lj
A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor;
which baffled the skill of Boston doctors,
Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass.,, in
the following letter tells how she was
cured, after everything else failed, by1
Lydia E Pinldiam's Vegetable Compounde
Mrs. Ha yes First Letter Appealing1 to Mrs. Plnkham for Help I j
"Dkax Mrs. Pinkham: I hare been under Boston doctors' treat
xnent for a long time without any reliel They tell me I have a fibroid
tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends,
tip my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My ab
domen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. Mr ap
petite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of lime.
"The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac
curately describe my case, so I write to you for advice." (Signed) Mrs.
E. F. IIayes, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
Note the result of Mrs. Plnkham'sT advlcer-al-though
she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take
her medicine which she knew would help her
her letter contained a mass of additional instruc
tions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring:
about the happy result. '
"Diak Mrs. Pinkham: Sometime ago I wrote to you describ
ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed,
allyour directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman.
" The use of Lydia E. Pinkharu's Vegetable Compound entirely
expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk
mues now.
"Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth five dol
lars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or
female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial." (Signed) Mas, '
E. F. Hates, 252 Dudley St, (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony or take ,
the place of the health and happiness which Lydia k Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. IIayes. -i
Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing
evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands
without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; alii;
ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and dis-
placements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful,
menstruation. Surely the volume and character of tne testimonial let
ters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt.
Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters
which sick women may write for fuller information about her illnesa.
Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable ,
