Of games for the series at home and he
announced. this morning. that he had
received positive replies from three clubs
to play here. They are: Dover, Saturday

agreement TO play on June 2, that Il

as badly as the c. A. c. men want to
play them.

Artesian Wells May BE Used for that Pur.
pose In Future.
A. g. Bartholomew, irrigation 9 *.
pert of the South Dakota Agricultural
College, who recently made some in.
teresting irrigation experiments in
Brule County, has accomplished re.
suits which are of great interest to
those interested in Irrigation. MI.
Bartholomew learned that waste water
from n artesian we'll in that county
had formed lakes ten feet deep and
covering 400 acres of ground. This,
he says, would make 1900 acre-feet of
irrigation water, sufficient to water
1900 acres of land. This amount of
land irrigated by water from the sim
gle we'll would probably insure twenty
five bushels of wheat to the acre, or q
total of 100, 900 bushels. 1t would also
produce 500, 600 bushels of potatoes.
The water is worth 81 per acre-foot, if
sold. The expert finds that the farm
ers are afraid to use the water carried
away by the bitches leading from the
we'll owing to the wording Of the pres
ent artesian we'll law, and the water
from the large number of wells in
Brule County is in consequence per-
United to so to waste. To remedy this
he suggests that the law be so amend
ed that every farmer whose land can
be reached can use the water to pro-
duce crops.

Deadwood win. First Roun,,.

The county seat u has been de-
cided and Deadwood will remain the
seat of government of Lawrence Coun-
ty. The county commissioners decid-
ed that the county seat had been legal
~ located in Deadwood in 1887 and
that under the constitution of the
state before al election can be called
to vote upon its removal it would have
to be petitioned for by a majority of
the legal voters Of the county; that
the petition which Lead City has pre-.
sented praying for its removal was in
sufficient; that it contained names not
legally belonging on that document,
and that they would have to reject the
consider the petition.
Thus ends for a time what promises
to be a long and bitter fight between
the two towns.

Cash For G SAM.
Treasury Officials Count On Much from the
Whisky Tax.

There was great activity in the
United States Internal Revenue Offices
following the final passage of the tariff
bill. Distillers were anxious to get
their whisky out of bond at the reve.
nue. rate of 30 cents, and the receipts
were phenomenally large. Commits
sioner Miller estimates receipts from
the whisky tax at about q million and
Q half dollars per day for twelve days.
This will add about $4,000, 900 to the
$6.i.l, 500 already collected from inter-
nal revenue during August, and Com
missioner Miller believes the figures
total for the month to $780, 900, 900. The
customs receipts will reach about
$l2, O0U, 900 per month at the present
rate, and will make the total receipts
$42y, 100000.

ginning If the new fiscal year in the
foreign trade of the United States and

which $500, 913 were articles subject
t. duty. This increase of the dutiable

since August, 1898.
The total exports for July were $751;
7l3, l33, against exports in July, 1893,
of 500, 1885,. The seven months end
ing July 81, showed almost exactly the
same exports for both 1893 and 1894,
the figures in the first case being
$l577,5ll ,344 and in the second $751;
142.41l. The imports for the Same
period ere $500. 3s3, 574 in 1893, and.
only $lOl, 1874, 353 in 1894. The falling

the seven months was about $3o,OOo.-

nearly $50. OO0, 1000.
Expenditures thus far in August
have been SIS, sos, 900, of which SIS, 1872

The Warm, Dry Weather has Ripensd
Wheat Rapidly.
The following summary of crop con.
ditions Is from reports from fifty u
ties received by s. w. Glenn, of the
United States Weather Bureau at
Huron:
The weather has been cooler than
last week, but there has been no rain
OF consequence reported except over
limited areas in o few localities in tho
southeast portion of the state, and late
crop prospects have not frightened.
The wheat, oats and barley harvest IL
completed I've the eastern portion OF
the state, except in the north section,
where 1t is in progress and will proba.
bly, be completed this week. The very
warm, dry weather ripened wheat very
rapidly, and some shrinkage of the
grain Is reported, but generally the
berry is of good quality.
Except in the northern Black Hills
country, and in scattered localities
elsewhere, drought and high tempera-
lure injury to corn, flax, millet and
grass is about irreparable. There are
limited localities, however, where a
fair crop is expected if plentiful rains
fall soon, and frost does not occur too
curry. Many farmer are cutting
their corn for fodder.
Haying is being pushed everywhere
but generally grass is light and scarce
and of only fair quality. Potatoes are
suffering for rain, generally, and it
appears must receive it soon to make
u fair crop.
1t appears from information re-
ceived that the failure of the ears to
.'set" on corn, that otherwise looked
fairly thrifty, was due to the hot
weather stimulating the tassell so
that 1t matured and blew away before
the silk was sufficiently advanced to
receive the pollen.

Attempts have been made in nearly
every Congress since the war to sub
ject these forms Of money to taxation.
The bill provides that circulating

and other notes and certificates of the
United States payable on demand and
circulating or intended to circulate as
currency, shall not be exempt from

1t was an infringement nlon the SOW.

to permit State and municipal authori.

the other hand, it was pointed out that
the States not permitted to dis
