There are some people that must
kick anyhow and now the bucolic kick
ers express fear that the wheat will
rust-it is too wet. Get McGauyran
to serge an injunction on Hicks.
The hay crop this year will be heavy
even without any more rain. The one
trouble anticipated Is that if it should
continue wet through this month the
meadow lands will be covered with
water 80 that the grass cannot be cut
and cured, at least for the early haying
season.
The vegetable garden in this vicinity
are already more than supplying the
home market and under present favor
able conditions of weather there will
soon be large surplus of truck OF
that kind. The set back by frost a
short time ago has been already fully
made up by the unusually favorable
weather for the growth of vegetation
Applicants for the 1o-year govern
ment bounty for tree planting are be-
coming more numerous and blanks 1ol
that purpose are in greater demand
than heretofore. The government
gives, by law passed in 1890, under
certain conditions, $500 per acre fol
the planting of trees, not more than
800 in any one year to any one person
The average ten acres of trees for
claim therefore will bring in SSo u year
a neat sum that will be a. little wind
fall and will begin to repay the dwellel
on the prairie who has brought hi
grove to the required condition by care
and cultivation.

Rev. Darling Arrested.

The following article appeared in
the MINNEAPOLIS Journal ofSaturday:
"Rev. +. $. Darling, who is wanted
at Miller. S. D.. to answer TOT charge
OF rape, was arrested yesterday in
st. Paul, Just as he stepped up to
the general delivery window at the
pOstoffice to get his mail. Deputy
Sheriff Picha made the arrest. The
authorities at Miller telegraphed a
description of the man they wanted.
Darling has been at the law school
of the state university since last Oct.
and he claims that the charges
against him are false and that the
whole affair is a scheme :or running
his reputation. He has been living
with his brother who is pastor OF the
st. Paul Park Presbyterian church,
and Darling himself. it is stated, has
occupied the pulpit severai times.
A special dispatch to the Journal
from Miller says:
Rev. L. :. Darling, reported arrest
ed at st. Paul yesterday on the
charge of rape, was pastor OF the
Methodist church here for three years
leaving last October to finish his col
lege education at the university at
Minneapolis The young lady max
inc complaint, India Failing, is afos-
ter daughter of John X. Failing, the
late candidate on the pOpulist ticket
for state superintendent OF schools.
The young lady is now II years old,
though at the time Darling was Civ
inc her his almost daily attention she
was under 16 years OF age, making
the crime charged Il most heinous one
under the South Dakota law. Oar,
ling was considerable OF IA ladies man
though no one here suspected him OF
taking undue advantage OF Miss
Failing until quite recently.
1t is believed that the arrest is fOl
the purpose of bringing him back tc
Miller and compelling him to marry
the girl. Indignation runs rather
high against him. 1t is believed that
the connection between them began
several months previous to his de-
parture for Minnesota.
Sheriff Strut, departed Monday
for Minneapolis with requision pa
pers to bring Darling here.
Sheriff Strut returned this morn
ing from st. Paul, without Rev
Darling. 1t appears that he was un
able to get him on requisition. Oar
ling's St Paul lawyer is in Miller
looking up the case.
