The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1895-06-06

Alvor6On nolghOOrnOO0. IL seems Lnut
what is known as "the old territorial
road" has become somewhat distasteful
to many OF the farmers Of Chester and
the road has been closed up at at least
n point, and this created the disturb
ance. The plan Of placing all roads Oh
sectional lines was suggested, and it car
RED cut this made-it necessary to put in
a heavy grade just east of Louis Spawn's
house on Brant Lake, and the commits
sioners were asked to assist in the ex-
pense. After viewing the proposed road,
the commissioners decided that the
county could not undertake the work at
this time, and after advising with the
interested parties, and with the consent
of j. A. Cooley, owner OF the land, it
was decided to open q temporary road
on the hull south OF the section line.
All parties eemed satisfied with the
plan, and Chester is again at peace.
Under date of June 8, Rev. DR.. Wolff,

isou church people are Of q spirit and
one mind and l feel, at my health i'm
proves, like staying by them and refus-
ing any overtures from other quarters,
although a very earnest committee Wis
tied Madison a short time ago. An
glad TO know of rains and good prospects
for crops. 1t is hot here; for four days
the hottest in the history OF the signal
service at this time OF the year; Their
mometers in the nineties and nights
like an oven; too hot to sleep before
midnight. I have taken a Sabbath OF
rest and am glad I did so. Next Sab
bath we will unite in the Baccalaureate
services at the opera house in the morn
ing and in the evening at our own
church / will preach an allegorical SER
mon, The Voyage OF Human Life, a
special sermon to all the schools in the
city, including the Normal students, and
l will ask you to announce accordingly"

Reports from forty.nine counties give
crop conditions in South Dakota for the
week ending Monday, June 3, as follows:
The temperature during the week was
somewhat below the average, but no
frosts are reported. The amount OF pre-
c,pitation was considerably above the
average over most Of the state, heavy
over the central aud western portions,
and generally we'll distributed over the
state through the week. Regular wea-
ther burea u stations report the rainfall
for the week as f,llcws: Pierre, 4.66
inches; Rapid City, between 4 and 5
inches; Yankton, 2.27 inches, and Huron
LA inches. The mount Of sunshine
was below the average. The cloudy
weather and rains were very favorable
to the crops previously injured by frosts
and local drouth by inducing steady and
healthy recovery from those conditions
and especially favorable to crops not
previously injured. The weather has
been most too o and cloudy for corn
to make much progress but the frost
injured is slowly recovering. This crop
has suffered in many localities from cut
worms and there are some reports Of
partial or entire %replanting, or sowing to
millet or fax. The week closes with
wheat in generally good condition, oats,
flax, barley, corn and potatoes doing
well, rye heading, grass promising, millet
seeding general, the soil in excellent
condition in point Of moisture, prospects
bright, and only warmth and sunshine
needed.
