Speolal to The Journal, Yankton, S. D., Dec. LFrank Fanslow, mayor of Yankton Is the strongest advo cate of municipal ownership in South Da kota. He is now in the hardest fight he has waged against private franchises. He is a blacksmith by trade and by his busi ness abilities has built up one of the largest Implement concerns in Yankton. He was born in Wisconsin in 1862. In 1877 he came to Yankton and in 1902 was elected mayor and was re-elected in 1903. One of his early encounters with private franchises was with the Northwestern Telephone company. With the help of in fluential citizens he succeeded In organ izing a local telephone company that now has in the neighborhood of 500 phones in the city and on rural lines. The charter of the company makes It possible for the city to buy the system at any time, and this the mayor hopes for In the future. During October, of, the present year the Yankton Electric Lighting company be came financially embarrassed and passed Into the hands of William H. Edmunds, Michael Magner and Carey & Walsh. These men say the advantage of operating a Water system* with the power wasted at the electric plant and applied to the city council for a franchise. Mayor Fanslow took a firm stand against issuing any private franchise whatever and won to his iger, ivbo lives two miles west of town, killed six wolves.

A t present our city : water system is In a deplorable.condition. W e have let the contract far a new artesian well, but ttia't does not promise perrnarifent pre,s Sfiite. If we buy the electric' lightin'i' plaitt we will have power enough to pump Mis souri river water in to the city, and main tain a pressure sufficient to safeguard the city against Are. .-.%". ' "We will increase the number of arc lights on the streets to fifty and will be able to double that number later on. W e will be able, to cut the cost of prlvatW lights squarely in twd and we will im prove the service a hundredfol(L I n place of Tank ton paying thousands yearly for street lights, the city will be receiving a substantial revenue from private lights. W e have tried artesian wells and they have failed. We* ha ve tried private own ership of the lighting plant and it has been unsatisfactory. B y the proposed combina tion we can do away with the former bad conditions and in their place will be ideal conditions. If the people of the city will sta nd behind me and the city council, and I am sure they will, we Will give to the city: pure water, ample Are protec tectlon and the best of lights. I have gone into this fight for the benefit of the city, of Tankton and I expect to win. " Mayor Fanslow's program is to have a petition circulated for the. signatures of the voters. If a majority sign the petition he will call a.special election to vote the bonds with .which to. purchase, the electric lighting plant. . So far he has received the almost unanimous support of citizens. NE W DAILY AND WEEKLY Billinglmrst at Head of a Publishing Concern at Pierre. ..P.IEKR5J. S.'

The disease germs ieerggtcUtd in onry to breakout again later. Mncu-Tone goes behind the poisonous germs, and drives them OK be- fore beginning its work of healing. It works through the.blood, being carried by the arteries and veins direct to the walls of the sore membranes. And because it works through the blood it cures catarrh of the stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys and bladder, just as easily and as cer- tainly as it cures catarrh of the head or of the delicate organs of generation. We feel that the discovery of Mucu-Tone means far more to the public than the modern inventions that have startled the world with their brilliance. It means life, and health, and strength, and' freedom from pain, for millions of suffering men and women. We know that Mucu-Tone will positively and permanently cure every form of catarrh no matter what organ is affected" or how long the disease has existed.
