Timothy Seeds Scarce.

W. S. Hathaway says he is ship
ping in timothy seeds and has
more orders for them than he can
supply. Mr.. Hathaway thinks, up
on careful estimate, that there has
been shipped out of Audrain County
of this years crop more than $685.
900 worth of timothy seeds, which
are worth about 81 600 car load,
and as many as twenty cars have
been shipped from Laddonia and
Vandalia, the balance from Mexico
and other points in the county.
Mr.. Hathaway says if these ship
ments had been held until now, mt
least $1,000 more would have been
realized upon their sale. Heis now
shipping in from such places as tie
seeds can be had. They are both
high and scarce in this section.

W. T. Darlington as Day Laborer.

". IL SATFAHSt0u dS III Dny LdDOFefs
From the Fulton Telegraph.
In conversation with an old citi-
zen of Darlington few days ago he
recalled that w. 7. Darlington, of
Mexico, Mo-, the present Democratic
nominee for State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, in his 5oyhood
days, working two years as day
laborer on the south branch of the
Chicago g. Alton railroad shoveling
dirt, driving teams and hauling ties
and bridge lumber. 1t vas there
in his sixteenth and seventeenth
years that he imbibed the broad
sympathy for the laboring classes
that he now possesses. He was
reared on the farm that town Of
Darlington covers. After the COM
pletion of the railroad "Billy,'' as
they called him, entered the Kinks
vile Normal School, where he re-
manned until he was prepared to
teach country school, which he
did to replenish his scanty means
and enable him to complete the
normal course.
Thus step by step, by his own
labor and industry, he has risen to
the high prominence he enjoys to-
day.

Des M3ines, Iowa, Jan. 23.-The su-

holding That the prohlpltory amend

OF the state, having never been legally
adopted. This decision puts tinal
quictus on constitutional prohibition in

case was brought before the court III the
action of j. a. Harvey, the president Of
the state temperance alliance, against
W. NJ. Mcfarland, secretary Of state.
The defendant refused to issIc a cCrtl-
fled copy Of the constitution containing
thi, provision on the ground that the su-
preme court had decided it was not Il
part Of the constitution, and the plaintiff
therefore practically asked and brought
an action for writ of mandamus TO com

rad refused 10 grant the writ, and the
former decision oft he supreme court rs

the state temperance alliance has ceased
TO exist. and it is safe to say the pro-
hibltory amendment is now dead forever.

State Engineer OF Irrigation c. S.
Hassett has submitted his annual report
- Gov. Sheldon. The report is OF more
Nan ordinary interest and contains
much OF value to every citizen OF South
Dakota, and especially to those inter-
osted in irrigation and the artesian
basin.
Twenty-one artesian wells have been
completed in the state during he past
fear, nine are now under contract and
zen are contemplated. In speaking OF
Irrigation the past year the report says:
The great precipitation of snow in
March last, and oi rain in the months of
April and May following, was not pro
motive OF irrigation experiments.
Nothing save showing OF results OBJ
tnined by simple and practical methods
will speedily lead to the general utiliza-
tion Of the artesian supply. With the
view Of providing the object lesson de-
maDded efforts Mere made to establish
m expe mental station but the legisla
ture failed to provide funds for the pur-
pose; Il station was provided without
expeuse to the state and placed in charge
Of Mr.. Bartholomew. A letter from Mr..
bartholomew to the state engineer en-
bodyiny his success has been published.
BY the cooperation Of the farmers
and volunteer observers it is hoped tiat
2 number OF experiment stations will
next season be established.
