In order to provide for supply Of har-

Of the immense crop, the Northwestern
railroad company has made q rate OF Is
each from ST. Paul, Minneapolis, Wtnona
and Lacrosse during the first week IN Au.
gust where Eve or more are in the party.
This rate applies to all South Dakota
points on the line east Of the Missouri
river. This low rate will enable hum
dreds of harvesters to come from Mime
sofa and Wisconsin, and will doubtless be

shortage OF men.
Among the jurors drawn for the United
States court which convenes in Deadwood

L. Q. Jeffries, T. Il. Commit, j. NJ. Hook
EFT, and W. j. Kelsey, Of Pierre, and W.
S. Ingham, OF Blunt, on the petit jury. 1t
will be noticed that w. j. iH) Kelsey is
given as drawn on both jures which is

time, made two important deals the past

purchased half interest IN the Hub res
taurant and will take personal charge OF
it. Mr.. Stoddard has considerable inter-
est in this vicinity and will make valu-
able addition to our community. He came
from Denver to Pierre.
The party of road makers who went
