SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS
HAPPENINGS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE STATE.
Gov. sheldon HAS Replied to Gov. Alt
Geld's Message. setting Forth the Facts
In the Benedict Case ratorical Contest
Won by Yanktou.
Gov. sheldon to Gov. AltgeId.

Gov. Altgeld of Illinois has taken a
hand in the Benedict affair that so Inter
ests South Dakota. Gov. Sheldon received
from Altgeld telegram saying he had
heard that Benedict, for whose extradition
he had granted requisition on the charge
of larceny, had been acquitted on that
ground and was about to be tried on
charges of conspiracy to defraud the state,
and calling the attention of the Governor
to the fact that he, Altgeld, believed this
would be violation Of the laws govern
ing extradition.
Gov. Sheldon has replied at length, set
ting forth all the facts of Benedict's con-
nection with the defaulting treasurer,
Taylor, his presence with the latter in the
bank IN Chicago when the money was
drawn, etc.; the conveyance by Taylor to
Benedict of large amount of property for
the consideration Of 81, and various other
points brought out in the course OF the in
vestigation. Also the fact that the Off
Gals of the state believe Benedict to have
been in conspiracy with Taylor, and adds:
"ln the absence of decisions which JUS
tify clearly the action of the state in this
case, can it be possible that the state shall
be stopped from arresting and trying a
person of this kind? Shall the rights of
an individual be SO jealousy guarded, and
the state forbidden to protect itself simply
because it is state?''

Hamlin County Lakes Will lse Filled with

Hamiin County Lakes VIII Be Filled with
Water for lrrigating.
Lake POnset, the largest lake IN South
Dakota, is six miles west of Estelline. The
high water in the early '80s raised it's
waters at least fifteen feet. Since then it
has been gradually lowering until it is
now about the same level that 1t was prior
to 1881. A dam on the river below the in
let would turn the water into the lake.
which is at least twelve feet lower. BY
digging race fifteen or twenty rods and
damming the river, an eight foot head
can be secured. That would raise the
water in POinset fifteen feet and also fill
Lakes Albert, John, Sarah and Dry Lake,
covering an area of at least thirty five
square miles. Dams and bitches could he
constructed north and west of the lake at
little expense, whereby several thousa nd
acres OF land now in crop could be irri-
gated from POinset.
Meetings were held at Estelline and
Castlew0Od and committees appointed to
take charge of the matter, and turn as
much of the river as is not needed for do
nestle purposes below into the lake. Ham
lin county has never had failure in crops,
owing largely to the moisture in the at
mosphere from the evaporation from the
lakes, and in the future proposes to keep
all the water in the county that the law
will permit.

CONDITION OF CROPS,
The Week Closed with Vegetation Abou,
at = Standstill.

The Week Closed with vegeta tion About
at y Standstill
According to the reports received at the
United States weather bureau at Huron.
from forty -Seven counties in this state,
crops were but slightly injured by the
late frOsts. A summary of the report is as
follows:
1t appears from the majority of reports
received that the frOsts of the preceding
week resulted in no very material injury
to field crops, except very early potatoes
and patches of early sOwn flax. Tender
vegetables and vines, however, suffered
considerably. The frosts of the week Just
closed were more severe in many localities
and cut down considerable corn and po-
tatoes and killed fruit, such as plums-
wild and cultivated-apples, currants. ber-
rles and unprotected tender garden veye-
tables. Ice formed on water in pals from
One-sixteenth to One-eighth inch thick.
Although the leaves of wheat and oats
were more or less damaged, it is the gem
eral opinion that these crops will be bene-
fitted by the cool weather and frosts, as
they have stOOled rapidly during the last
ten days.
Much of the potato acreage was prob
ably not sufficiently advanced to suffer
material injury and that which did it is
thought will recover rapidly with favor
able weather from now on. Much O. the
ttax-the acreage of which appears limited
was not up yet, and it is thought the ag-
gregate loss in this crop will be small.
While there was much of the corn up, and
in southern counties sufficiently advanced
to permit of cultivation. still there was a
great deal not far enough advanced to
suffer very material damage and quite
little yet to be planted.
The frosts were beneficial in checking
the growth of Russian thistles, which in
many localities are cut almost to the
ground.
The week closes with all the vegetation
about at standstill, wheat and oats stool
ing rapidly and most field crops probably
are at that stage where rains and warm
sunshine would greatly aid them to rapid
~ recover from frost effect. The top soil
is becoming dry in good many localities.
but there is no special report of anything
suffering for rain.

In she general trade. Not one OF the

severe damage to wheat and corn with
which the exchanges have aboundef, and
there IL less reason to believe in the ex-
tent Of IL - currently reported. The most
bullish feature OF the wheat situation lies
In the announced restriction OF Argentine
and Russian exports, the reduced export
ability OF nearly all leading producers and
the Shorter supplies of importing coun-
tries. Wheat Is not believed to have
reached its highest point on this wave, al
though It is Is cents bushel above the
lowest since the panic. This weeks
record OF advances is as conspicuous as
ever and includes hides, shoes, leather,
bessemer, pig iron, steel billets, nails, bar
iron, copper, zinc, wheat, Indian corn,
oats, pork, lard, floor, coffee, cotton, naval
stores, potatoes, poultry and butter.
Wooden manufacturers are working on old
orders, and some refuse to stock up with
