The Western Grain Crop.

Hard fros.s have occurred in the West
and southwark the past week, the CHIEF
effect of which upon crops has been to
awaken fears in regard to fruit. In some
districts it is believed that serious injury

are that the backwardness in development
has precluded special impairment OF the
generally good promise.

seeded in oats is practically certain-partly
from weather causes and partly from the

work. but it is not too late yet TO look for
good outcome. Operations are becoming
active in some regions.

The Brookings Opera House, on
Saturday evening, echoed to some OF
the finest vocal music that It's walls
ever reverberated to. The Augusta
Obrstrom Company occupied the
stage and gave their audience rare
treat. Miss Ohrstrom is host of
herself, but her support is also very
fine. This company should not fail
to please the most critical audience.
Their listeners on Saturday evening
were uproarous in their enthusiasm,

The Jordan House Fire,

Last Friday night the Jordan
House was discovered to be on fire
and the alarm brought the fire depart
ment promptly on the ground. The
bucket brigade and hand grenades
put the fire out, however, before the
department could get in it's work. The
fire caught from an oil heater in one
OF the rooms occupied by the waitres-
ses and had burned through the floor
when discovered. 1t was narrow
and fortunate escape, and Mr.. Jor.
dan is lucky in having the fire ex-
tingulshed without the use OF very
much water. Had the hose company
got in it's work the damage by fire
would have been considerably greater.

Sudden Death.


Miss Mary Larson died very sud.
denly last week Thursday at the age
OF 20 years. She bad been making
some Christmas presents and to be
secretive in regard to what she was
preparing, was in the habit Of goingto
her room where there was no FIRE. to
do her work. Her parents cautioned
her against doing this, fearing that
she might catch cold. but she took no
heed OF their entreatles. Thursday
morning she complained OF not being
well and went into q bedroom down
stairs to rest. A short time after her
mother went in to see II she needed
attention and was startled to find
her daughter lying on the bed and
cold in death.
DR.. Hyde was summoned and states
that the deceased mnst have con-
tracted congestion OF the lungs which
caused her sudden demise.
1t is reported that the parents re-
fused to bury their daughter owing to
the fact that her body and limbs did
not become rigid after death as is
usually the case, We have been un-
able to learn any particulars, how
ever.

Poultry Notes.


BY Pro!. I. H. orcutt.
The results of four months of care
iul observation with two small hocks
OF hens will be OF interest to all. The
number OF fowls in the two lots not
being the came, and the months not
being OF the same length. it is thought
best to reduce all statements to q
basis of fifty hens in each flock and
months of thirty days. One per con-
sisted OF thoroughbred Wyandottes.
The other was q mixed lot, being
somewhat better than the average
flocks found on South Dakota farms.
Both received the same care in every
respect. Each occupied room
14x24, eight feet high, which did not
freeze in moderate winter weather.
Their principal focd was unlimited
quantities OF dry barley, and shorts
wet with cold water. OF course, they
were supplied with gravel, cabbage,
potatoes, turnips, etc.

Horrible Story.

The Yankton Press and Dakotan
tells the following:
"One of the inmates OF the Leslie,
place on First street, swallowed two
ounces OF Iaudanum and three grains
of morphine at about o'clock last
night with suicidal intent, but some
OF her companions discovered her con.
dition. sent for q physician and the.
woman's life was saved. The story
connected with this affair Is one of
such horrible details as to cause he
most depraved conscience to revolt.
This woman Is about 10 years OF age.
She has been leading life OF shame
for scarce q year, and Ghree weeks ago
she came to Yankton. Shortly after
arriving she met and became very in.
innate with q young man whose sur.
name was identities with hers. ihsy
fell to comparing notes, and night
before last 1t was ascertained beyond
almost any question, that they we're
sister and brother, the children OF one
father and mother. The climax may
be imagined. The man fed from the
place in a frenzy, and all day yester-
day was 10 ths very depths OF dispair.
The woman retired to her room, and
would see nobody, acting as though
her mind had flown. And last night
at $50 she took enough poison to kill
twenty five men, in an effort to end
her agony"
