now 10 that seeding will begin two weeks
earlier than in the past several years.
Miibank Index: Wheat seeding has
been pretty brisk this week. The
weather has been perfectly lovely for
the work.
Woonsocket Times: Seeding is we'll
under way and farmers are happy, for
the ground is in excellent condition, and
the prospect is good for an extensive
crop.
B~ridgewater Times. Seeding has
progressed very rapidly the past week,
and probably by Saturday the greater
portion of the wheat will be in the
ground.
Bloomington (Chas. Mix Courier:
Flowing is being pushed as rapidly as
possible An / this week, if the pleasant
weather continues, will gee most of the
wheat sown.
Howell Chronicle: The farmers have
commenced sowing wheat already and
the ground 10 in a splendid condition,
and the outlook fer a good crop this
year is very encouraging to the farmers.
Castalia Republican: Spring work
has begun in earnest. Farmers can be
seen everywhere in the county harrow
ing, seeding and back setting. The out
look for large crops this year is very en-.
oouraging.
Dell Rapids Times: Some few farm
ers have already sown wheat. In the
valley of the dim more has been sown
than IN this locality, and though some
fear the effect of the snow fall, we think
no harm will come from that source.
Melletts Tribune: Farm work has
already begun. Every farmer is har.
rowing and many have begun to SOW
wheat. Frank Walters has seventy-five
acres of wheat sown. w. e Neitcb has
ninety acres of wheat. j. William Smith
OF kondelI, has 100 acres.
Pukwana Press: Seeding is now gen
orally IN progress among the farmers
at the end of another month we will see
q larger number Of acres of sesd sowI
in Brule county than ever before, and
with the prospect Of the finest harvest
ever produced in the county.
Brookinss Sentinel: Hundreds o
acres of grain were put in by Brookingl
county farmers prior to the late it'll,
cold snap. Thousands of acres will b,
!, seeded next week. The surface of tn.
soil, as soon as the frost is ont q fev
inches, herrows up as dry and mellow q.
an ash heap. Quite an acreage has al
ready been sowR in Brookings county tt
wheat and oats. Indications are the
farmers will resort to a more varied
farming. TIE idea that wheat alone il
: the only reliable and paying crop, ii
: now pretty well exploded.

The sketch, which was made from the

quate idea of the immensely of tho pro-
posed structure. 1t is to be erected

picture, will be 200 by 800 feet, with two gal
leries and a stage 100 feet wide by A feet

frontage on Lake Michigan of $50 feet. 1t
will contain besides the rooms necessary for
the various military purposes, reception and
billiard rooms, a gymnasium, dining room

ventures. AS early as 1861 he began the bust
ness OF crushing and reducing ore in a little
stamp mill. This and other ventures brought
him rich returns. In the succeeding twenty-
i've years his fortune at times reached SO, OO0.-
ooo, but shrinkage of values and losses in
speculation swept away a large part of his
wealth. When Colorado was made a terri
tory he became a delegate to congress, and
fought President johnson for it's admission
as a state. IN 1875 he opposed vigorously
Ten. Grants nomination of Gen. McCook TO
be governor of Colorado. This antagonist
he kept until 1876, when the two had a
meeting at the White House, buried their
differences and started a friendship that was
to be slightly broken at a later period. This
was in 1880 by Senator Chaffee's opposi-
hon to the third term movement, In 1881
while the senator was lying i'll at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, attended by his daughter. q.
>. Grant, Jr., called to renew his acouaint-
ance with Miss Chaffee, which had been
formed in Washington, and kept up his visits
until they were married in 1882. This mar
riage brought about between Gen. Grant and
Senator Chaffee an intimacy that grew
closer with each succeeding year. The sena-
tor invested a large amount of money with
Grant & Ward, and lost $500, 600 in onelump
III the closing days of that affair.

besides being an imperfect Instrument at
best, is the one that affords the least

MS for this last reason that the mandolin
was adopted, as the stunning on the strings
is performed with what is called a plectrum,
instead of the dainty fingers. The mandolin
is an instrument of Spanish origin, and was
possibly brought to the attention of our pub

students who visit this country. 1t has eight
strings, strung in couples, representing the

vary in price from SIS to 5000, and it is said
that one factory in Connecticut is running
