Sig Gusher on the Rampage.

The old artesian we'll at Frankfort is on
the rampage, and is causing great alarm
in that little town. Vast quantities of
sand and mud have been discharged with
the water for years, and owing to a break
in the pipe some distance below the sur
face it was impossible to confine the flow.
For several months the ground around the
we'll has been caving in and washing away
through large ditch until now the hole is
over eighty feet in depth and is rapidly
increasing. The water has broken out in
several places around town, and it is fear
ed the whole town site may sink into the
immense pit being formed under it by
the action of the water. 1t is possibA the
town site will have to be vacated at no
distant day. {.

MADISON, Fla, special: There b no
ionger any doubt that Sam Echols, Sim
Crawley and John Brooks, the negroes
who outraged Miss Mamie Armstrong, in
Lafayette County, were aayed and burned.
A man who has just reached this place
from Lafayette County says the belief is
general that the negroes were tortured to
death. One man who ventured into the
swamp into which the negroes were car
ried, asserts that he found the place where
they were put to death. He says It is evil
dent that the negroes were tied to trees
and their skin stripped from them with
knives. Then wood was heaped about
their bleeding forms, matches applied and
the wretches were soon dead. This man
says he found some strips Of skin about
the place, which bears out the assertion
that the negroes were flayed.

CROPS OF SOUTH DAKOTA.
Frost Did Less Damage Than In other
States.

States.
Crop conditions for the week as indicat-
cd by reports from forty or more South
Dakota counties sent to the United States
Weather Bureau at Huron, indicate crops
in good condition and making fair pro-
gress:
Good to fairly heavy showers occurred
during the week over the southern coun-
ties and The Black Hills region; elsewhere
the rains were mostly light. A few lOcali-
ties report rain needed.
All vegetation made rapid advancement
during the warm days, but the growth was
checked by the subsequent cool weather
and frosts.
Gardens, fruits, potatoes and flax were
considerably cut by frost in many locali-
ties and some correspondents report that
few pieces of early sOwn flax will prob
ably have to be resown.
Potatoes were frozen to the ground in
many instances. but this crop is not far
enough advanced for more serious results
than a temporary set back to follow. AS
much OF the flax was recently sOwn and
considerable yet to be put in the ground,
the loss to this crop will probably not be
serious. 1t is thought that permanent in
jury will result only to fruits, but not
generally, as it appears that where affect
ed the damage was not complete. Gardens
were destroyed locally, and there is yet
time to replant.
The cereals, it appears, were but slightly
affected as we'll, and will doubtless soon
recover. Corn will probably be set back
some, but wheat and oats will be benefited,
as fears were already being expressed that
these crops were making too rapid and
rank growth and the warm weather pre-
vented stooling.
The frost was beneficial in checking the
growth of Russian thistles which were
gaining Roadway and becoming threaten
ing to wheat and oats. In many localities
they yielded to the frost as readily as vege-
tables, while in Others they were not much
