years ago" says a traveller, will never
fade from my mind. Before leaving the
city | was induced to go with some
friends to the native place for the in
cremation of their dead. To enter the
horrid Enclosure was to enter at once
a slaughter pei where the victims
were human beings. A fetid stencil
permeated all through this dreadful
place. A long row OF bamboo sheds
contained living beings In the extrem-
tiles Of diseases. and pain, and their
feeble cries and groans were more
dreadful than all other sights ard
sounds in this horrible place. | was
told that when a native Is sick INTO
death, it becomes the duty of his
friends and relatives to take him to

to abandon him forever. When the
poor wretch Is dead, he is burned or
half burned and his remains cast into
the river. But if, as has sometimes
happened, he should live, he is forever
an outcast. His nea est relatives will
not recognize him, and tho best thing
he can do is to give his body, by the
shortest possible process, to the sacred
river"

U DAKOTA CROPS
Tho Week HAS Been Very Favorable for

Forty.one South Dakota counties
submit reports Of crop conditions to

week, which are summarized as fol-
lows:
During the past week excessive tenn
perature and sunshine have prevailed
with deficient amount of rainfall.
Showers fell in localities on the 22d,
which revived all crops and gras, Tor
fall feed.
On the whole the week has been
very favorable for threshing and hay
ing in the eastern section Of the state
and ripening Of crops in h western
section. Threshing is about finished
in some counties. showing an average
of three to four bushels to the acre,
with very little No. |. mostly No. ,
quality. The IA crop in many in
stances is a failure. what there is be-
ing Of u very light yield. Late sown
flax, miilet, corn and potatoes ATE

was sown late is doing much better
than early sswn, and in most cases. IL
frost does nos occur within ten days,
II will be u fais crop. Corn i, holding
its own, aud FROM the effects of recent
showers, although light, have helped
it to fill, except in some localities,
specially the souAA western counties
EAST OF the Missouri River.
In the Black Hills wheat shows a
yield OF thirty bushelsN the acre, and
oats fifty to sixty bushels. with IA very
good potato crop. In this region all
crops are good in Lawrence and Meade
Counties and portions OF Pennington.
The other counties have suffered more
or less from the general drouth.
1t Is reported thai very little grain
will be sold as the farmers are keep.
ing it for next years seed. The latter
part Of the week was smoky which has
helped to keep the cornstaIks green to
q great extent. In a few cases fall
blowing is the order of the day, bu.
unless rain is received in u few days
the ground will be too dry to continue
the work.
