The seventh annual meeting of the
South Dakota Pharmaceutical asSo-
citation was held at Sioux Falls last
week and was very well attended.
There are now 49S registered pIarma-
cists in the state.
A travelling man got too gay at
Sioux Falls and attempted to enter a
room at a hotel which contained a
pretty member of the divorce colony.
| She shot at him for his pains and he
now trying to hush the matter up.
The cattlemen on the ranges west
of the Missouri will probably ship
their cattle east over the Milwaukee
via Chamberlin this year instead OF
the C.& n ~. via Pierre as of ,yore.
They claim they can save fifty cents
per hundred by so doing.
Worlds Fair Commissioners Och
senreiter and Bassford visited Clark
last week where they had raised $500
in a few hours and have the money on
deposit. All the county pledges are
being paid. Secretary Gibbs is now
in Chicago arranging for the erection
of the South Dakota building, which
will be nearly completed in October.
James Clune, who came to Huron
from Minneapolis a few days since,
was struck by a switch engine while
crossing the Chicago & Northwestern
track. His right leg was broken,
both hands and arms badly cut and
his head and face injured. He Is
supposed to have friends at or near
st. Peter. 1t is thought he will
recoyer
Robert Bennett, the young son of
Hon. G. g.. Bennett, of Deadwood,
who was accidentally shot in the
abdomen by a boy companion while
hunting in the mountains, was found
by searchers alive and concious, but
has only lived an hour. He had been
shot in the abdomen, the charge max
ing a hole from which his intestines
~prOtruded.
A farmer named George Woom-
bacher, living four miles from How
ard met with an accident which will
probably prove fatal. A runaway
team attached to a binder threw MI.
Woombacher before the sickle bar and
he was pinched to it and dragged a
half-mile or more. His person was
terribly lacerated, his head, one side
of his face and his left arm being in
a shocking condition. He is not
expected to live.
: Quite a lively scramble will take
place for Indian Agent Hindman's
shoes, but it is feared that the APP
pointment will go to an army officer.
The administration feels that it has
had trouble enough with South
Dakota Indian agencies, and it is not
disposed to pay much attention to
requests for a civilian at Sisseton.
There was a good deal Of pulling and
hauling over Hindman's appoint
ment a few months ago, and his
retirement now is aggravating.
E. P. Server, of Minneapolis, vas
in Huron last week looking after a
party who ordered a carload of binder
Irvine from the Minneapolis branch
of the National Cordage Company in
the name of ID. w. Silver, Silver
denies all knowledge of the matter
and says he sent no such order, and
refuses to accept the Irvine, which,
with the freight, amounts to over g.
600. Some one has evidently put up
scheme to trick the cordage
company.

Thus far South Dakota crops seem
to have suffered less from stress of
weather than the crops of Minnesota
North Dakota. Minnesota is the
greatest sufferer; one would judge,
in reading the reports from various
parts of the state, that not over half a
crop would be harvested. North Dakota
now bids fair to harvest a crop about
three quarters as large as that OF last
year, which was a phenomenal one.
South Dakota is claiming that its
crop will be 20 per cent. larger than
that of last year.
Fifty thousand tons of coal is being
dumped into the bins at stations on
the Dakota Central division of the
Chicago & Northwestern railway.
The supply is being put in early so
that cars will be ready for grain ship
ments, which will likely commence
two weeks earlier than last year, and
which will be much greater than eve
before known in South Dakota. Fuel
dealers are also getting in their sup
ply earlier than usual and every pre-
caution is being taken against a fuel
car famine. Contracts for winter
fuel have been made more freely than
heretofore.
A small mob gathered at Tyndall
one night last week with the inten-
tion of administering a coat of tar
and feathers to the person of Charles
Maynard, but the project was aband-
Oned through want of courage. This
Maynard left his wife and two
children two years ago, in company
with a woman with whom he lived
until she discarded him. In the
meantime Mrs. Maynard secured a
sum of money from her mother, with
which she purchased a home and
established herself in the millinery
business. Three days ago it was
announced that the vagabond hus-
band had returned and been received
by his wife. The pleadings of his
wife, however, deferred the mob from
using heroic measures, but he was
notified to quit the town ct once and
forever.
