Vegetation Kills Many '
Cattle Near Sioux Falls
Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 4. (Spe
cial.) Reports from the Brennan dis-.
trict of Pennington county state that
cattle are dying from a mysterious
cause.
One of the heaviest lossera thus
far is Grenanmeyers of Sioux City,
who lost twenty head ot tine cattle,
which -were being grazed in the Bren
nan territory.
It was at first thought that
the cattle fiad died from anthrax
or blackleg, but this was disproved
by an investigation made by veter
inary surgeons, who visited the scene.
They expressed the opinion that the
cattle had died from eating fresh
vegetation in a swampy place during
the excessively hot weather of last
week. There are said to be several
varities of weeds which have a tend
ency to become poisonous for cattle
and other live stock, when the weeds
grow too rapidly.
Other cattlemen of the territory
lave been warned ta watch their
tock closely in order to have as few
losses as possible from this cause.

Rapid City Residents
Hunt "Gentleman" Thief
Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 4. (Spe
cial.) A "gentleman burglar" is be
lieved to be operating in Rapid City,
and in the effort to apprehend him
and put a stop to the frequent rob
bing of residences, a vigilence com
pany has been organized by a number
of the citizens.
In the course of a few nights a
dozen dwelling houses were enterfd
and robbed, the burglar securing
much valuable booty in the form of
jewelry and other articles. From the
home of Dr. and Mrs. R. J. Jackson,
he carried away a revolver, two, dia
mond stickpins, and some small
fancy clocks that were treasures of
Mrs. Jackson. Xo suspicious charac
ters have been seen about the city,
which gives rise to the theory that
the numerous burglaries are being
committed by some man of apparent
good standing in the city against
whom suspicion would not easily be
directed.
Persistent Advertising is the Road
to Success.
Fifteen hundred soldiers in uni
form will be at the Ak-Sar-Ben den

will have some of his regular army
recruiting force there from Fifteenth
and Dodge streets. One hundred ma
chine gun men, unattached, stationed
in the old Chambers dancing academy,
will be there. The Sixth Nebraska
regiment has promised to come in
force. -
Other Big Nights in Sight.
The following Monday night,
August 13, will be set aside for the
delegates to the National Associa
tion of Meat Inspectors, in conven
tion in Omaha at that time. Tekamah
and Missouri Valley boosters are also
to be here that evening.
Monday night, August 20, will be
Merchants' Market week.
Monday night, August 27, will be
Lincoln night. Walter S. Whitten,
secretary of the Lincoln Commer
cial club, has notified Samson that
he expects Lincoln to come in a big
crowd. An entertainment commit
tee is working in Lincoln to tabulate
the crowd. The Burlington has been
designated as the official railroad on
which to come.
Memberships are still coming in.
No tickets will be sold for the ball

Nw York, N. Y. It U eoiutrvetWel e-
timsMd that over thres million people an
nuslly tn thli sountry alone art taking Nux
ated Iron. Such utonlihlnf ratults have
bean rporUd from Us use both by doctors
and laymen, that a number ot physicians tn
various parti of the country have been asked
to explain why they preserlbs it so extensive
ly and why It apparently produoes ao much
better results than were obtained from the
old forms ot inorganic Iron.
Extracts from some of th letter received
are given below t '
Or. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician
and Medical Author, ssys : Ther can be no
vigorous Iron men without Iron. Pallor
means anaemia. Anaemia means Iron de
ficiency., The skin of anaemlo men and
women is pale. Th flesh flabby. The muscles
lack tone, the brain fags and th memory
fails and they often become weak, nervous,
Irritable, despondent and melancholy. When
th Iron goes from th blood of women, th
rose go from their cheek.
"In th most common foods of America,
th starches, sugars, tab! syrups, candles,
polished rice, white bread, soda crackers,
biseutts, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, asgo,
farina, determinated eornmeal. no longer I
Iron to be found. Refining processes have re
moved th iron of Mother Earth from these
impoverished foods, and silly methods of
horn cookery, by throwing down th waste
pip th water in which oar vegetable are
cooked, are responsible for another grave
Iron loss. '
Therefore, If you wish to preserve your
youthful vim and vigor to a rip old age,
you must supply th Iron deficiency in your
food by using some form ot organic iron
just as you would use salt when your food
has not enough salt.
Or. A. J. Newman, lata Police Surgeon of
th City of Chicago and former House Bur-
. Jefferson Park Hospital. Chicago. In
commenting, an Nuxated Iron, saysi "It has

"Recently I was nromoted through an en-
donement of Nuxated Iron by On Schuyler
C. Jaques. Visiting Surgeon ot St Elisabeth'
Hospital, New York, to give it a trial. This

ot it to excel any preparation I have ver

Or. E. Ssuer, a Boston physician who ha
studied widely, both In this country end
in great European medical institutions, saysi
"A I hsre said a hundred times ever, or
ganic iron is th greatest of all strength

Dr. Schuyler C. Jacues, Visit
ing Surgeon of St. Elisabeth's
Hdppital, New Yorx City, said:
"I have never before given out
any medical Information or ad
vice for publication, as I ordin
arily do not believe in It. But in
the case of Nuxated Iron I feel
I would be remiss in my duty not
to mention it. I have taken it
myself and given it to my pa
. tients with
most sur-
prising
avsd who now dls every year from pneu
monia, grippe, kidney, liver, heart trouble
and other dangerous mslsdiee. The real and
true caus which started their diseases was
nothing more nor lets than a weakened
condition brought on by lack ot iron in the
blood.
"Not long a man cam to me who was
nesny rait a century old and asked me to
live htm a preliminary examination for life
insurance. I was astonished to find him
with th blood pressure of a boy ot 20 and
as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young
man; in fact, a young man he really was
notwithstanding his ags. The secret, he said,
was taking iron nuxsted Iron had filled
him with renewed lite. At 80 he was in bad
health: at 4t he was careworn and nearly
all In now at B0, after taking Nuxated Iron,
a miracle of vitality and his face beaming
with th buoyancy of youth.
"Iron is absolutely necessary to enabS
your blood to change food into living tissue.
Without it, no matter how much or what you
est, your food merely passes through you
without doing yon any good, and as a con
sequence yon become weak, pale and sickly
looking. Just like a plant trying to grow in
a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong
or well you owe it to yourself to make the
following test: see how long you can work
or how far you can walk without becoming
tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of
ordinary nuxated Iron three times per day
after meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see how much you have
gained. I have ssen dosens ot nervous, run
down people who were ailing all the while
double their strength and endurance and
entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of
dyspepsia, liver and other troubles In from
ten to fourteen days' time simoly by taking
iron tn th proper form. And this after they
had la some cases been doctoring for
months without obtaining any benefit. But
don't take the old forms of reduced Iron,
iron acetate or tincture of iron, simply to
ave a few cents. Th Iron demanded by
Mother Nature for ths red coloring matter in
the blood of her children la. alas I not that
kind of Iron. You must take Iron tn a form
that can be easily absorbed and assimilated
