Aberdeen dispatch, %: The advanced
sheets showing the final estimates by
our new government statistlcian con-
tain some surprises for students in
this line, and either chow that all claims
that Dakota farmers are commencing to
diversity their crops are false, or else
the statistician making them does not
grasp the true situation. The area sown
to wheat in South Dakota in 1894 is
given as exactly identical with that sown
in 1893, viz: 2,414,2s1 acres, while the
yield for 1894 is set as 15,934,255 bushels,
or Is per cent less than in 1898. It is q
well known fact among millers, elevator
NEE and private parties who have care
fully made estimates that the crop Of
1894 wheat did not exceed at the out
side 100000 bushels and most esti-
mates have fallen considerably below
that number. But this is not the, only
mistake that has crept into the govern
mentr report. There is scarcely a locality
ia Dakota where farmers do not report
that in 1894 the acreage planted to corn
was increased, and in some localities
this increase was very great. But the
government.tigures show just the reverse.
The report of 1893 showed a total area
of 1854 72 acres while in 1894 the report
gives it as but 354, S44 acres or consider
aoly less than half, while the yield for
1893 is given as 20,5l1 1886 bushels and in
1894 as 1,490,345 bushels or about one
fourteenth the quantity Of the year be-
fore
From these figures it would appear
that the farmers raised as many acres of
wheat in South Dakota in 1893 as in
1894, and less than half the acreage of
corn, while the facts are That for four
years past farmers have been turning
their efforts towards Investigation, and
there is no question of doubt but that in
1886 the acreage of corn in South Dako-
Ia was increased fully 80 per cent while
that planted to wheat was decreased.
The report is a disappointment to the
person compiling II, and 1t is bound to

Expert Dealers In Live stock do Not
Often Use Scales.
The dealers in live stock who buy and
sell the thousands of cattle, hogs and
sheep which are daily handled at the
Bourbon stockyards must be expert in
guessing the weight of a live animal at
a glance. In conversation with q well
known stockman a few days ago he ex-
planned why this is necessary:
ut would be impossible to weigh the
cattle in many cases because of the inn
mense labor involved and the length Of
time it would take, while the market
price. which is subject TO constant fiuc-
tuations. might easily vary from its
highest to it's lowest limit while we
were weighing the animals in one Of
our big scales. For instance, today,
which has been the biggest day OF the
year thus far, there have been received mt
the Bourbon yards over 2 400 head of
cattle and about q, 600 hogs. Suppose
we had TO drive all Of those upon the

A SKELETON STIRS UP STORIES.
The Oldest Inhabitant Had SoIiI0-
guy Which Came TO Grief.

A human skeleton rolled on to the floor
as some small boys. curiously seeking
what they might findr turned over an old
barrel in the building at the northwest cor
ner of Market and Mississippi streets yes
terday afternoon. 1t was CHASTITY find and
sent terror to their hearts. They were not
long in making the fact known to the
neighborheod and soon a crowd gathered
to see what some of them had never seen
before-the bones of a human being yellow
with age. the face upturned and the empty
orbits staring at the beholders in way
to cause many of them to move back a few
feet and view the find at safer distance
To the uninitiated in such things the sight
of skeleton Is enough to cause that creepy
feeling to move down the spine, but where
there is something mysterious about the
matter it is even worse. Some of the
Drawer ones in the crowd, after cycling the
find for a while and discovering that there
was no immediate danger. pluclzed up
sufficient courage to move it about with a
stick. The grating of the bones and the
staring of the heshless face brought new
spectators' extensor muscles of the legs and
an uncomfortable desire of the knees to APP
preach and then suddenly recede from each
other.
Some suggested that the find be reported
to the police, and intimated that murder
had been done; that the lifeless bones were
all that remained of some innocent man
who had been decoyed to his death by false
friends. Other suggestions the same
line were made and one old citizen even
went so far as to recall the sudden dis
appearance of a man about the time of the
war for which no satisfactory account had
ever been given. Then wartime stories of
sudden disappearance were told by sew
eral. Stories OF how sons and fathers had
come here to join the army and fell into
the power of some gay siren and were
never known to the world again were told
in a way to make even the brave ones who
had been courageous enough to prod the
pile OF bones with a stick move back
less cause of all the trouble. Murder had
surely been committed. No one doubted
that the bones were those OF some one
whose services his country lost by murder
committed for a few paltry dollars. After
the old citizen had told and retold his
story and was about to repeat Ii for the
fourth time some one started for a tele-
phone to inform the police. About this time
a physician who happened to be passing
see what had happened. The situation was
explained TO him and he walked in to take
a look at the pile of bones At the first
sight smile spread over his face. Stoop-
ing down, he grasped a small ring in the
top of the skull, which in their excitement
had escaped the notice of the people, and
raised the bones to an upright position
with the remark:
Nothing but q skeleton which has been
used by medical college"
1t was learned afterward that at the
close OF the school year the skeleton had
been placed In the barrel and put in the
small shed to await the erection OF the
new college building which il being cou-
structed on the lot.
