WINTER WHEAT. {
Favorable Reports as to lis Condition From
Many States.

Favorable Reports a. to Its condltson From
Many States.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The Farmers Re.
view says: In Illinois the condition OF
the growing wheat crop In generally
reported as fair to good. In some
counties little has been sown on 40
count Of dry weather. Rayages by the
Hessian fly are reported in some Of the
counties, though the damage is mo-
where great. Wheat sown early i
looking well in most places; but the
late sown is not yet high enough to
have its character and condition de-
termined. Some fields are already
suffering for lack of moisture.
In Indiana the crop is quite generally
reported as good and growing finely.
In Ohio much Of the wheat is just
coming up That already up is looking
well as q rule, and the outlook Is very
encouraging.
In Missouri the acreage is small in
some counties, owing to the drouth.
Some correspondents report in their
localities the grain sown in the too dry
ground is not doing well and in some
cases is not yet up. This is particu-
larly the case with the late sown
wheat. The general condition for the
state is by no means discouraging and
as the drouth has not; yet brought dis
aster to the crop the outlook is fair.
Kansas wheat also feels the effect Of
the past and present drouth. There arc
localities in which the grain is dry and
the wheat has not yet sprouted. Should
this sprouting tnke place Mt or before
heavy freeze u portion OF the crop will
be lost. In other counties there Is
enough moisture in the ground to
sprout the grain and it has como up
and looks we'll, but needs rain. The
general prospect is fair.
Iowa has not yet gone largely into
the growing of winter wheat and in
many counties no sowing of the crop 10
this year reported. Where it has been
sown and has come up it looks fairly
well, but 1t is small, owing to the dry
weather.

AN HISTORIC SPOT.
The Memory Of Old Fort Charles, Nea,
ST. Louis 7eyivifed,


ALTON, ILL.,, Nov. l4.-A few mile,
from Alton on Missouri Point, close by
the new Bellefontaine Bluffs bridge OF
the burlington" railroad, there lies Q
little neglected graveyard in which the
remains of people at one time promi.
nent lie buried. Its history dates back
to lT6S, when st. Louis was little more
than hamlet. A fort of log
huts was established there
by Captain Eios with twenty,
five men and called Fort Charles,
the large spring nearby being called
Bellefontalne. In 1903, when France
ceded this country to the United
States, President Thomas jefferson or
dered the then commandant at the
fort to remove nearer to the junction OF
the Missouri and Mississippi, and the
Bellefontaine fort was built. Upward
of 1000 men and officers were stationed
there and the fort played conspicu
Gus part in the commerce and society
OF the region. Now that the point" i.
being revivitied by the building of the
bridge many reminiscence based or
the history of that section is being
brought forward together with some OF
the records,

A PNEUMATIC SKATE.
Inventor Says Walking viii Become a

The Inventor Says Waking viii Become a
Lost Art.
LONDON, Nov. l4.-After numerous
successful experiments with the pneu.
matte road skate in this city and at Bir.
mingham the idea is beginning to take
root that the bicycle will eventually be
succeeded by this new invention. So
successful have been the experimental
trips made on the new vehicle or rather
vehicles, for one is strapped to each
foot after the manner of an ordinary
skate, that several prominent bicycle
manufacturers are investigating the
subject with view To buying up the
patents and preventing the manufac-
ture of SO destructive a competitor.
Unlike the roller skate the appliance
has but two wheels, placed fore and
aft" and each of them circled by a
pneumatic tire. A speed of eight miles
an hour is easily attained, and the tour
ist is subjected TO none of the incon-
venience which bicycle rider suffers
when his tire gets pnnctured on sharp
rock, as two or three extra tires, or
even wheels, can be carried in ones
coat pocket. The device is said to be
especially adapted to hill climbing,
and the inventor predicts that walking
will become a lost art as soon as the
advantages of his skate become gener-
ally known.

Indians No Longer Permitted to Hunt Their
Beef Rations.
CHAMBERI.AlN, S. D., Nov. l6.-One
the most important changes made in
the Indian service during the past few
months is in the manner of issuing
beef to the Indians. Formerly, at the
larger agencies, such as Rosebud and
Pine Ridge, the Indians themselves
were permitted to chase, kill and
butcher the cattle issued to them.
During beef issue at any of the
larger agencies the prairie would be
dotted over with mounted Indians all
intent on running down and killing
the steers which had been turned ou,
OF the corral for them. 1t was rare
sport for the Indians. but it was very
dangerous. Various persons have been
killed by stray bullets during the beet
issues under the old system ut Rose.
bud and Pine Ridge. Much has
been said and written in con.
demnation of the practice,
but the stubborn oppposition of the
Indians has until quite recently pre-
vented change in the manner Of issu.
ing them their supplies of beef. They
protested that the chasing of the cattle
was perfectly harmless and was some
thing of u substitute to them for the
buffalo chase OF years ago, but
their protestations wero in vain.
Since doing away with the general
beef issue near the agency proper, sub.
agencies have been established at va,
rous points on the reservations where
the Indians living in the vicinity can
receive their ratons without the neccs-
sity of travelling to the agency. Under
the old plan Indians living on the very
outskirts OF the reservation sixty and
perhaps eighty miles from the agency
were compelled to travel that distance
to get their rations. OF course,
with nn exciting chase after cattle as
the object in view on arrival at the
agency, the Indians did not object to
the old plan, but, as stated, desired
that it should not be altered. But the
government employees who are paid to
teach the Indians how to farm and ul-
timately become sclf-supporting found
that the trips to the agency after ra-
tions every week or every two weeks,
as the case might be, kept the Indians
almost constantly on the road travel.
ing back and forth between their
camps and the agency. The establish
ment of the sub-agencies has rem.
edied this and the large major
ity of the Indians now have to
go but n short distance after
rations. Beef is issued to them almost
wholly from the block ut the SUBJ
agencies on the larger reservations,
while at agencies of the smaller class,

SOUTH D AkOTA NEWS.
May Solve a PerplaxIng Question,


CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., Nov. 15.--A tax
case which comes to trial before Judge
Smith in Douglas county on the 2sd
will probably dispose of perplexing
question. During the recent annual
tax sale in Douglas county an injunc-
ton was served on the treasurer re-.
straininR him from selling the lands
which had been advertised for personal
taxes, and only the tracts advertised
for 1892 personal taxes were sold. The
taxes on account of which Judge Smith
issued the injunction are personal taxes
for the years 1884, 1885, 1886, 1887 and
1888, which the treasurers failed to col
lect at the proper time Many of the
parties owing these taxes have left the
country and their real estate has passed
in many cases into the hands of inno-
cent purchasers. The law says these
taxes are lien against the real estate
of these parties, and in order to clear
his books the present county treasurer
advertised and proposed to sell the
lands against which these taxes were
liens.

widespread discomfort which was laid
