Augustana College. The last catalog of Augustana

College is proof that this institution is vying with other Institutions of the State in the forward movement of education. It should be a source of pride to the people of Lincoln county to have an Institution of such high merit within its borders.

If you intend taking a course of study, or have someone to send, it may save time, trouble and expense to investigate whether the "Home School" does not offer equal, If not superior advantages to schools whose ' distance lends enchantment."

To prospective teachers are offered a choice of six different courses in Normal training; all of which have the approval of the State Department of Education. Certificates, from a Second grade to a Life Diploma, will be granted to graduates of these courses without examination.

The Business Courses are not sur­passed anywhere. Their best recom­mend are the enviable positions held by a large number of graduates from both the Commercial and Shorthand departments:—teachers in commercial schools, bank cashiers, managers of lumber yards, etc.

It would take too much time and space to speak of each course of study from the Preparatory to the College course, including the excellent courses in vocal and instrumental music. Suffice it Is to say that eighth grade and high school graduates, as well as others seeking an education, should investigate the many advantages offered them at Augustana College before "crossing the stream for water." Send for a catalog now. Address, A. G, Tuve, Canton S. D.

Worthing Store Robbed. The Corner Cash Store of Worthing

was robbed on Wednesday morning, July 31st: Twenty pairs men's shoes of the Foot-Schultze Shoe Co., make; about 75 ladles' skirts, woolen and linen; a large amount of men's under­wear; men's dress shirts; 7 bolts silk dress goods; a lot of men's neckties, hose, etc.

Sheriff John Quien when he got the news, telegraphed to Mitchell and had A. Scott bring over his blood hounds. The dogs were given the trail at Worthing and led the Sheriff and Mr. Scott to the water tank west of (Lennox, here the trail was lost. The supposition is that the robbers boarded a train here for parts un­known, but with John Qulen on the trail, it will be but a short time be­fore something is known of the rob­bers where abouts.

Robert W. Herter, Lawrencevllle, Mo., who had been bothered with kidney trouble for two years, says: "I tried three different kinds of kidney pills but with no relief. My neighbor told me to use Foley Kidney Pills, I took three bottles of them, and got a permanent cure. I re­commend them to everybody." > »->

Lucky 13. Block 13 of the city of Canton play­

ed block 19 a game of ball Wednesday and such a game of ball has never be­fore been seen in Canton. The game started at three o'clock with block 19 at the out, and the game was on, and a fast and furious game it was. It is hard to relate all the hair raising plays that were pulled off, but it is needless to say that block 13 would bave won by a very large score had it not been for the umpire's ability to make the game close.,

The end of the struggle was pitiful. Dr. Eveleth stood on his head beg­ging some one to hit the ball safe, while Will Soule strained his good In­tentions to the extent of striking out which left Louie Dokken to do the same, and thus with everyone against them block 13 won out in spite of the umpire and the friends of block 19. But no hard feelings. Block 13 is willing to take on any other block In the city that can win over block 19 by a score of 10 to 9.

Henry Phelps of Dayton township was struck by lightning and instantly killed at 9:47 a. m. Wednesday. He was running a binder in the Held when a bolt of lightning coming out of an almost clear sky struck him be­hind the right ear and killed him in­stantly. When friends picked him up it was found that when the lightning struck him it also stopped his watch at 9:46 a. m. showing the exact time he was killed. His funeral will be held Friday at the bouse. We hope to have more complete details of the death of this grand pioneer of Lincoln County in the next issue, as it is we have very little to go on.

Dr. C. H. Ellsworth, Dentist, Id Baldwin St., Rochester, N. ¥., says: Foley Kidney Pills gave him im­mediate relief and strengthened him wonderfully. "I have been bothered with weak kidneys and bladder tro­uble and suffered much pain. Foley Kidney Pills gave me immediate re­lief and strengthened me wonderfully. I am pleased to recommend their use."

It Is not for those who go but for those who are left we drop the tear.
