Some OF the Au Train hoojums know
now that II Is not always safe to monkey
with an editor. oven il he isn't big.
Levi Baldwin, editor of the Republican,
was recently married in lower Michigan.
and upon returning home with his bride,
the hoodlums copgregated in full force
with tin horns, COW bells, horse fddles.
etc., and proceeded TO grind out discord-
ant music much to the annoyance oi Mr..
and Mrs. Baldwin, who were muc h
fatigued from their long journey.
Mr.. Baldwin offered them liberal
supply of cigars, but these failed to ap-
pease their appetites. They wanted
beer aud threatened TO Keep up the rum
pus all night if 1t was not forthcoming.
As it is against Mr.. Baldwin's principles
to purchase beer or liquors he fatty de-
MED their request and warned them to
depsrt in peace. They gave no heed to
the warning unt! Levi brought out au
ola shot gun well CHARGED with bird-shot

L'Anse Will be In II.

The time will come when the immense
water power Of Fall River will be utilized
and prove paving Institution to the
owners OF the water rights. And II will
prove a great benefit to the town, toe.
G. w. G. Ferris, the constructor Of the
Ferris wheel at the Worlds Fair, and an
eminent bridge builder, recently said
''The condition which will determine the
relative expansion Of towns and cities In
the next decade is the presence OF water
power. The whole problem of electricity
is one of cheap generation. ANY city OF
town Of this country which has a water
fall within an available distance has. so
to speak, good mine. Water power
means the minimum of cheapness In the
generation Of electricity"

Caught by Eecoy Letters.

Chicago special: Benjamin F.
Tufts, one of the best known postal
clerks in the railway mail service,
was arrested on the charge of steal.
ing from the mail. For twenty-five
years Tufts has been connected with
the railway mail service between Chi
cago and Wilton junction, Iowa, on
the Rock Island Road. For the past
two years the postotfice officials had
many complaints of loss of mail from
Davenport. Rock Island and other
points on the Rock Island Road. In
most cases letters containing money
were taken. Decoy letters were sent
put with the result that Inspector
Stuart secured evidence to warrant
Tufts arrest. Inspector Stuart is uu.
able to make an estimate of the
amount, which, it is said, was secured
by Tufts, but the sum is probably
large.

SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS
GATHERED FROM ALL PARTS OF
THE STATE.
The Weather and Crops For the P.st
Week--south Dakot. Crops Ruined by
the Recent Hot Winds and Continued
Drouth-south Dakota short Notes.
Condition Of crop..

S. W. Glenn of tho United States
Weather Bureau ut Huron is in re-
eeipt of reports from thirty counties
giving crop conditions up to the 18th.
The following is a summary of the re-
ports US they are sent from authorized
observers:
The temperature during the week
was generally above the average, with
an excess of sunshine. Most of the
state received showers on the 18th,
18th and 18th. in some localities heavy,
but generally too light to be of more
than temporary benefit, especially
where it had before been drouthy.
Corn. potatoes, grass, and late millet
and flax were the most benefited.
The dry, hot weather of the preced-
ing, coupled with the generally warm
and dry weather prevailing during the
week just past, was u~nfavorable to all
late crops, and they suffered or
less injury, except in the extreme
west. north and northeast portions of
the state.
Over the southeast portion of the
state the corn was mostly in tassel and
needed moisture for good results. This
crop is permanently insured in some
localities, but generally would come
out all right with copiOus rains soon.
Rain is needed for all late crops.
Reports indicate that early flax suf-
fered most from the very warm
weather Of the past two weeks. Wheat
harvest is we'll advanced over the
southeast portion of the state. The
berry is of good quality, but'the yield
apparently light and straw short.
Small grain harvest will probably be
general over the northeast portion Of
the state next week. The effect of the.
dry and war; weather on grass has
been serious. Haying is in progress
over most of the state, but grass is
generally light.
