Grain Yielding Well in South Dakota, and

A survey of the crops of Davidson
and adjoining counties in South Da-

has been cut and, in some instances,
thrashed. About SO per cent. of the
wheat is cut and probably about rs per
cent. of the oat crop is in shock.
What barley has already been thrashed
has yielded from twenty-five to fifty
six bushels per acre. Rye will average
twenty-five bushels to the acre. Oats
will thrash g. ut fifty bushels to the acre,
and even better. The average yield Of
the wheat crop has been estimated all
the way from twenty to thirty bushels

JACK the RIPPER.

JACK THE RIPPER.
London Again Shocked by HIS vilialny-
An Aged Womsn the Latest Victim Of
tho Fiend-Futile Efforts to Find the
Butcher "A Terrible Record Of Crime.
LONDON, Aug. a-Much excitement
was occasioned in the Whitechapel dis
trict when it was known that the
dreaded "Jack the Ripper" had again
appeared and had murdered an aged
woman named Woolfe. The fiend used
his knife with ferocity. He grasped
the woman by the head, and drawing
her backward he, with one hand across
her mouth, silenced the cries she
would naturally have tried to make,
while with the other hand he drew
the keen-bladed knife across her
tightly drawn throat, inflicting terri
BILE wound. Then using the knife as q
dagger he plunged it into her body
again and again. There is deep
wound on the woman's arm which it is
believed was received while she was at
tempting to ward off the ferocious
blows aimed at her body.
When her assailant released her from
his grasp she fell upon doorstep. De-
spite her terrible injuries she still re-
tanned possession of her senses, and
though the wound in her throat was
bleeding profusely she was able to ar
ticulate. Several persons passed
while she was lying on the door
step. and though they en-.
deavored to ascertain. what the
trouble was, she could not speak Eng
lish sufficiently well to make them
understand that an attempt had been
made to murder her.
The woman was taken to hospital
and after q time she recovered suf1R-
GENTLY to tell of the attack made upon
her. She is a German, and unlike the
other woman murdered and mutilated
in Whitechapel, she was not in the
company Of the man who attacked
her, but was passing along the
street, when, without warning, the
assassin sprung upon her. She
saw the glitter of the appraised steel
blade, but was unable to escape from
the grasp of her assailant. She raised
her arm to defend her throat from the
sweeping blow aimed at it, and it was
through this movement that the wound
in her arm was received.
1t is understood that the police found
a razor covered with blood near the
scene of the crime. The wound in the
woman's throat could have been caused
by razor, as could also the deep cut in
her arm, but from the nature of
the other wounds it is believed that they
were caused by either knife or a
dagger, as they appear to be stab
wounds and not such as would be made
with razor.
One man has been taken into Gus
tody on suspicion of being the assassin,
but the evidence against him is very
weak.
This murder in Whitechapel adds an
other to the most strangely horrible
series of crimes known in modern his
tory. The number of the murders
done by the hand of the unknown
''Jack the Ripper" their peculiar
character and the evident insane
ferocity which instigated them
have excited the attention of the whole
world. At time when steam and
electricity have made the earth small
and the task of policing it proportion
ately easy it would seem impossible
that such succession of mysterious
murders could be undertaken with inn
punity. There is nothing like it out
side the pages of the criminal romances
OFF rench literature.
