SOUTH DAK0TANEWS
The Potato Crop Excellent and
Prices Good.
A Review of the Business Prospects
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES states
Senator and Other Notes.

SIOUX FALLS, Sept. 16,-Enough is
now known of the crops in South Da-
kota to estimate the condition of things
for this season at least. Had crops for
the past two years been even fair, trade
would be booming in most points, but
as it takes such a large per cent. of the
products this year to bring about a fair
average, the other per cent. will not
materially boom things. Trade will be
generally fair, but this will be anything
but a year Of speculation or indulgence
in luxuries. In the Sioux valley the
crop average is very good, and all the
towns will enjoy fair local trades. The
same can be said of some sections of the
Jim valley, south of Huron. In the
vicinity Of Redield, Aberdeen, Faux
ton, Ipswich, Columbia, Groton, Web
ster and Clark the outlook is anything
but encouraging. To Redfeld and Abb
erdeen the result this year Is particu-
arly unfortunate because Of last years
crop failures. This makes the third
year of bad crops in tho country tribu-
tary TO Ipswich. The frost the other
night caught the late corn, and the
Aberdeen section in this gets another
black eye. In the Sioux valley the
frost came late to catch the corn. IL is
safe 10 conclude that outside of the ex-
treme eastern and southern parts Of the
state there will be no marked advance
in real estate values. While IL is true
that the good prices cereals bring will
partly make up for the short produc-
ton, a combination of these good things
would have made our people far hap
pier than they will be until the results
Of another season are known.
The south is catching a great many
South Dakotans, especially from Mis-
souri, river counties. The cheap rates
offered by railroads and the glittering
possibilities held out induce many who
have been running against bad luck for
some years to try other fields. South
Dakota caught thousands of immigrants
who wished to have prosperity chase
after them and force them to take it;
but they discovered that success here, as
where they came from, does net come
unsolicited. Many are gong TO Ala
bama, a few into Georgia and Louisiana.
Very little immigration is coming this
way, despite the efforts of our immigra-
ton agent. These land excursions are
very faint shadows of what South Da-
kota saw eight and nine years age.
Hon. Bartlett Trip is campaigning
the state for the United States senator
ship. He is making some vigorous
speeches and quite a stir in political
circles. The aggressiyeness of the in
dependent movement gives Judge Trip
a mighty good fighting chance. Some
peculiar things may happen in South
Dakota politics within a few months.

BosToN, Sept. 20.-The Sioux City

giving the Manitoba system entry into
Sioux City, has sold its first issue OF

A Case of Self Defense

PEORIA, ILL.,, Sept 20.-The celebra-
ted murder case ended in Pekin today
with the acquittal of James Cornell,
who shot and killed Andrew Wallace,
of Dillon, last April. Connell rented
land of Wallace, who was a very quar-
relsome man. When Connell wen to
take possession Wallace was on the
farm with a pistol in his hand. His
arm was at his side, but the pistol was
pointed at the defendant. Wallace re-
fused to talk and he (Connel) jumped
over the fence into the yard with gun
in hand, hoping to intimidate Wallace,
and thus be able to talk the difficulty
over. AS soon as he had gotten into the
yard, Wallace, without raising his arm,
fired at Connell. The latter then fred
the fatal shot, thinking his life was in
danger.

The English Industries states that a
novel industry, resting strictly on
chemical principles and needing moth
ing but a little capital and a dash of
dishonesty to develop it, is said to be
practiced in Florida. 1t consists in
avoiding dependence upon the slow and
imperfect ripening of lemons by the
suns rays, by picking the fruit while
green and exposing it to the fumes of
burning sulphur, whereby its color is
changed to a rich golden yellow, in
hnitely more attractive than the
natural hue. at is true that the in
terror is practically free from juice, a
fact which the hypercritical might
reckon a slight drawback. Gut this is,
after all, a trivial matter, affecting
only the consumer" is the salve APP
piled TO the conscience.

commission will be put into effect by

be done Notwithstanding the ruling Of
Chairman Finley that the rates cannot
be changed west of the Missouri river
on that date without violating the pro-
vision Of the agreement Of the Trans

position is that the law must be obeyed

Forty-two rioters were arrested. Later

Cluster Chronicle.
JOSEPH KUBLER, . PUBLISHER.

A Belgian chemist is said to have de-
vised a method of rendering fabrics
proof against the ravages Of decay for
an indefinite period. Noting the fact
that resin played an important part in
the wonderful preservation of Egyptian
mummies, he made numerous expert
ments with substances extracted from
birch bark, to which the peculiar aroma
of Russian leather is due. lie found
that the green tar which is lef. over
after the oil used in tanning has been
extracted from the white bark Of the
birch tree yields neither acid nor aka.
loid, and that in solution with alcohol
it forms a liquid Of remarkable luidity,
which has the power of resisting, when
dry, the action OF even alcohol. 1t is
claimed hat this preservation possesses
the property Of uniting with the most
delicate and brilliant colors and render.
ing them apparently iIoperishable.

Immigration from Canada.

The extent of immigration into this
country from Canada is notgenerally re.
allied. Last year in the city of Ottawa
alone the United States consul gave
certificates to 325 heads OF families, who
removed across the line. The superior
advantages afforded by this county
cause a constant drain upon the best
blood Of the dominion: besides the fam
lilies who come, bringing tier goods,
savings and possessions, thousands Of
young men and women are constantly
puring over the border. TO Offset this
there is no migration the other way.
Few Americans leave their own country
and few Canadians return to their native
land.

1t is said that the process OF dying
roses is becoming a remunerative branch
of industry with English horticulture
lists. Instead of growing g varieties
Of roses, which is q process OF years,
they simply grow ordinary white roses
and dip them in a chemical solution
which in q single hour converts them
into the most magnificent tea roses, the
rare scarlet red o. the peculiar shade oil
blush violet which has been n of the
favorites Of the season. In the same
way pink roses are turned into blossoms
of the deepest red. Some years ago,
before this branch OF floral chemistry
was developed, the first experiments
were successfully made in France with
pink hortensia, which, by being watered
with o solution OF iron, assumed q blue
shade.
